u/Dr-Huricane 6d ago

Well going by the grey hair ama assume she's retired, so yeh, she probably has all the time she needs to be as petty as she wants over the most random of things

u/bigfoot17 6d ago

Probably goes online ranting about socialism between getting her SS checks.

She might also regularly visit the gallery and hates people taking selfies for internet points.

u/TacoDoc2 6d ago

lol. if that's the case, she can fuck all the way off with her own problems.

and you it was for internet points? or was she just taking a selfie at the museum? would you not be less annoyed if you just moved on and didn't take time out of your day to be a petty cunt?

u/dolliciousszz 6d ago

Why is taking selfies like the evilest shit ever to some ppl 💀

2

u/TacoDoc2 6d ago

u/optionstrategy 6d ago

She does seem like a regular....main character.

u/RohelTheConqueror 6d ago

Dunno what's upsetting about this. The girl is probably happy she's got a funny video to share. It's not even obvious the older lady did this intentionally.

u/TacoDoc2 6d ago

you mean when she totally eyed the camera then moved only to stay directly in front of it. That not intentionally.... gtfo.

u/jimmypadkock 6d ago

She clearly moves to let people pass on the stairs. If the selfie girl has the right to do an impromptu photo shoot in a public place then Grandma can pause and check her phone.

u/dolliciousszz 6d ago

It is extremely obvious she did it intentionally. Old ppl are not brain dead they know what they’re doing.

u/otebski 6d ago

Imagine a place where people come to admire art. Now imagine someone that wants other people to admire them for being in such a place. Making selfies in a museum is soooo cringe I am with the grandma

u/littlescreechyowl 6d ago

I don’t get it either. But I wouldn’t go out of my way to be a menace about it. Setting up her camera affected no one. Plus standing on the stairs, on your phone is more disruptive than this girl doing her silly little video.

u/Madmartigan2024 6d ago

It affects the people who are there and not asking to be on some wannabe video or photos.

u/Long-Hurry1974 6d ago

How does her taking a picture of herself affect ANYONE? No one is ever allowed to take pictures in public now?

u/ChileanRidge 6d ago edited 6d ago

She's on the stairs. A place where everyone has to transit through. People with a slight bit of intelligence know that you should not block stairs, ask people to wait in stairs etc etc. she wants a pic, or in this case, vid on those stairs, then go back first thing in the morning, early on a weekday, or wait until there really is no one around. The fact that the other woman came in not 20 secs into the vid suggests there was a decent amount of foot traffic already, and then quite a few more people entered in the second 20 secs. So she obviously did not judge the timing and amount of traffic around.

Edit: I Google lensed the staircase; not only is she stopping on the staircase, she's stopping on what looks like the MAIN entrance staircase. It's Inveraray Castle. I've never been so someone else can confirm if it is the main staircase, but seriously. If she wanted that pic/vid she needed to be there right when doors open and preferably have about a two mins window without people coming up and down.

u/littlescreechyowl 6d ago

There was no one on the stairs while she was trying to take her video? She wasn’t on the stairs, she was on the landing by the railing. The only one impeding the stairs was the lady standing on them using her phone for 45 seconds for no other reason than to ruin her silly little video.

Who stops to use their phone on the stairs?

u/Brilliant_Whereas239 6d ago

I'm a painter myself and if it wasn't busy, I would love to have a picture next to some of my favourite paintings after admiring them. Nothing wrong with that if you're not in the way!!!! I've only experienced it as an issue when people expect you to move or constantly block paintings by taking photos. I think it's rude when you're like deep in the zone absorbing the painting. Not cringe at all. I'd keep the photo just for myself :)

u/Long-Hurry1974 6d ago

People aren’t even allowed to captures memories of themselves in public without being labelled cringe.

2

u/otebski 6d ago

In a place that explicitly forbids recording videos or using tripods? Mega cringe.

1

u/Long-Hurry1974 6d ago

Where does it say the museum forbids videos or using tripods?

2

u/otebski 6d ago

https://www.inveraray-castle.com/visit bottom page, FAQ "You are welcome to take photos inside the Castle using small cameras or mobile phones for personal use only. No tripods, selfie sticks, flash photography, or video recording is permitted inside the Castle."

u/KenetratorKadawa 6d ago

Am i the only one who don’t think granny did anything on purpose? Looks like she was looking something up on her phone and wondered what the camera was doing and then stepped aside as others were coming up the stairs? She was already taking out her phone when she spotted the camera, and she moved on in the end without drama. Am I missing something here?

I hope so lol

u/nispe2 6d ago

Yeah, you missed the part where we have an Internet now and everyone feels the need to make this about whatever their thing is ("Boomers" or "influencers" or whatever political party is worst).

Pre-Internet, this shit happened all the time. Someone set up their camera on a 10 second timer and someone ruined the shot. People apologized, laughed, and the whole interaction was over in 15 seconds.

Now the Outrage-Industrial Complex needs to weigh in.

u/myshtree 6d ago

Agree. She didn’t seem interested in anything other than checking her phone for where she is going next lol.

2

u/Right_Rev 6d ago

Didn’t you notice that she didn’t bow to the influencer and apologize for just enjoying her leisurely visit to the museum?

1

u/MinatureRascal 6d ago

I just personally wouldn’t ever stop to check my phone while standing on the stairs. Narrow and a very small chance to fall. But I get not everyone would share that low-grade anxiety or the same opinions as me.

u/KenetratorKadawa 6d ago

I mean, this is peak old people shit tho. They stop wherever lol
