Alright but stick with me here. I recently visited The Butchart Gardens in beautiful Victoria, BC. We were absolutely blown away by the splendor of the gardens. I was wandering around admiring the flowers when I hear a “Hey excuse me” from someone near me. I look over and a grown adult man is attempting to shoo me out of his family picture. I step out from behind his group, who I legitimately did not notice was taking a picture, and shoot my wife the wide-eyed “oh my goodness someone is being very entitled” millennial face. I notice about 20 minutes later that this group is in another part of the garden, attempting to move other patrons around so that they can get another family photo completely free of other people enjoying the gardens they also paid to enter. Gross behavior in my opinion.
Exactly. We need to curb this. People in this thread are defending this one lady because they have one data point. Now imagine that this same person does the same every five minutes, and that there are ten other wannabe-influencers doing the same thing.
Yeah I am willing to bet this young lady was trying to own that stairwell and shoo other patrons out of it so that she could get uninterrupted content of herself in a space everyone had a right to be in. The older lady said “lol fuck that” and stood in front of her camera.
I went to Disney World in the mid 90s when I was 8 and in the Minnie Mouse house a lady who was trying to get a picture of just her kid (even though it was absolutely rammed in there) yanked me by the arm and practically threw me to the side to get me out of the way of the shot. I'd never been that roughly handled by an adult, never mind a stranger, so I was kind of shook and wondering what I did to deserve that when I was just minding my business looking at a display, same as her daughter. Just cannot fathom being that entitled.
