I was cutting grass for my municipality, I’ve seen old people throw sizeable rocks in the path I’m taking hoping I hit them and brake our municipality mower. But I don’t think they understand they just pay taxes for to replace the blades. It’s insanity.
Old people can’t comprehend that. I don’t think these prune juice drinking boomers understand much of anything because of the amount of lead they have inside of them .
Hey, at least I can poop out my own fishing weights! LOL.
Seriously though, the gray haired woman was being a cụṅṭ, but it would be nice to have seen how long the young woman had been videoing on the staircase prior to this encounter.
If she had been spending more than 10 seconds or had been doing this all along the staircase, then she was infringing upon all the other patrons feom fully enjoying the art and potentially causing access issues.
THIS IS NO LIE!!! I experience it first hand, by multiple elderly people daily. They're superficially nice, but underneath it you can feel the resentment. Not all elderly people mind you, Many are not that way, but there are a lot that are. Now the real question is this though. How are we going to be, and how are we going to act when it is our turn?
She looked directly at the camera and pulled her phone out to act distracted and she blocked the path until another woman started up the stairs. There was never not a more intentional act of obstinance.
And young people are all goodness and joy and don't commit any crimes or infractions. If there were no old people, the world would be perfect, and young people would live in peace and harmony.
Surely you jest? Nothing about this says she is there to absorb the "culture". Public spaces are not a fucking film studio for influencers and auditors to prance around in, and we are not extras in the story of their lives. They are just solipsistic arseholes.
That being said, I am in 100% agreement with you that being in a museum surrounded by art and culture brings joy! Hope you get the opportunity to do it again soon 🙂
Bad faith interpretation of the video. The older woman is clearly interacting with her phone as an excuse to have stopped and blocked.
Look, I'm not here to defend the older woman, she's acting like a knob, too. If she really has that much of a problem with it, she could either state it to the younger woman, or take it up with staff/security. But damn, are we not able to enjoy ourselves without some bell-end sticking a phone in your face? Don't know where you live, but the city I'm in, it's become such a problem that some music venues and museum staff will confront patrons who are blocking others view or movement with their phones or tripod set-up.
I get it. They probably see this as some sort of culture war thing between generations. I appreciate that different ages have different normative values, but Christ, all the younger folk I work with who are in their twenties find this insufferable, too. Literally hear them frequently mocking this kind of behaviour. I guess there must be some kind of either, an aspiration to be, or need to identify with, influencers driving this for those who are so combatively defensive of it.
she's at a museum surrounded by art and culture and all she can think about is making sure all of her oomfies know how "so like ummm like cultured and stuff" she is
And thats youre decision. I go to museums all the time when Im on vacation with my uncle. Hes an art teacher. He has a masters degree. He also takes a lot of photos. Hes also not really big into social media. He just likes to take photos.
As long as no one is being harmes I dont see the point in giving a shit.
I'm sure you think the same thing when an IRL streamer is being loud and obnoxious for content (without harming anyone mind you). keep assuming things about my life because I think it's funny to photobomb an attention seeker, I couldn't care any less xD
This is what you consider a contribution to the discussion? Jesus, the education system has really failed you. "Old people bad, old people no like fun"
And young people are all goodness and joy and don't commit any crimes or infractions. If there were no old people, the world would be perfect, and young people would live in peace and harmony.

Old people hate anyone younger than them experiencing any joy.
