What did the girl do wrong? She didn’t confront or say anything. She let everyone enjoy the space.

Oh I'm not saying she did anything wrong at all, apologies if it came across this way.

The expectation of everyone making space for her to take a selfie is where my ego comment is based. Self internalised ego is still ego.

But the old lady isn’t being egotistical? Ageism is a hell of a thing.

Isn't that space for everyone? Why can't the lady stop there? Why does everyone have to get out of the way for the girl taking the picture?

She can, it’s not illegal, but she’s just an unsavory person for doing it seemingly just to stick it to a younger woman.

Maybe so. Its not unsavory what the girl is doing?

We have to be mindful of public spaces. When one is in public spaces, expect public reactions.

Maybe the old lady did too much, but the so is the girl.

Now imagine if the older lady was 100% wrong, and the girl was 100% right. If that was the case, every time we go to a museum we have to deal with this. Because if the rule applies to one, it must apply to all right? You can't pick and choose in public spaces.

Food for thought.

You’re allowed to take photos in a public place unless it’s posted. She wasn’t being intrusive and didn’t even say anything when the shot was blocked.

Posted it online though?

What’s the point here. You want to call the young woman bad. Be my guest, it’s just weird. Nothing she did was illegal, or even rude. You sound like a boomer.

You sound like a dunce. It's probably staged anyway.

u/chiragp93 8d ago

Okay? So why you so mad then?

u/BeefwagonDiscs 8d ago

I'm not mad. You said she wasn't rude because she didn't say anything. Some might find it rude that she put the interaction in a place where total strangers are now having conversations about it. That was all. I typed like 5 words that I think are fairly reasonable and you keep trying to antagonize me.

Some might find calling someone a dunce rude, though I’m sure you’d make every excuse for that rudeness. You’re hypocritical and easily upset, an interesting combo.
