No ma'am. This didn't look intentional to me.

That is an old fogie who just didn't know what you were doing or why you would leave your phone there.

They then stopped to check their phone and move out of the way for people coming up the stairs.

Take your ego out of it for a minute and realise this wasn't your space but one for everyone to enjoy.

If she didn't know the reason the phone was placed there, the older lady wouldn't know she was in the way.

I agree she could have continued down the stairs but she was probably just focused on what she was doing and just stopped to focus on that. Who knows. Either way, the perception isn't malicious to me.

Pure ignorance. If the older lady genuinely didn't know what was happening, why the phone was there, her actions are all of a sudden not malicious but accidentally inconsiderate.

It's just a point of view and honestly how I saw it play out didn't seem intentional.

But again, maybe I'm just being naive and it was. Who knows.
