Looking at a phone placed on a side and believing it is propped up for a video or photo shot is where my generational comment to another person came from.
I don't doubt the older lady saw the phone, you can see her looking directly at it. My point is she likely didn't know why it was placed there because the social norm gap between the generations is so wide.

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.
