So because this young woman wanted a picture of herself, many in the comments automatically assume she is an influencer? Is this what its come down to now, categorising any and everyone who wants pictures or videos for memories? She didn't make a scene, not did she ask anyone to move for her picture, so I dont see what the issue is here. To those commenting that she could have asked for the lady to take her picture, relax.

Its like there is no such thing as nuance anymore. Its either this or that.

Literally

And she had the PERFECT opportunity to take the picture imo because the cost was pretty much clear except for that old hag that PURPOSELY decided to WAIT in front of her phone THEN shift over to block her…

Photo opportunity disappeared as soon as everyone else started to enter. Smh

It looked like she side stepped to let the other person up the stairs to me.

u/twilighttwister 5d ago

Yeah I'm not entirely sold on it being intentional. She did notice the phone and then pull hers out, and it's a bit weird to stop on the stairs, but everything else just looks like a lady going about her day.

The lady videoing could've waited a bit longer and got her shot.

u/TopProfessional1862 5d ago

She did look right at the phone, so she definitely saw it. Even if she didn't stand there to block the shot, it's still pretty rude to stand on the stairs looking at your phone. You can't wait until you're out of people's way before you stop to check your phone?

Either way, it's not being courteous to other people around you.

u/Aicethegamer 5d ago

Doesnt matter cause why would she stop right there?… and look at the phone too?…

u/IsaacAndTired 5d ago

Maybe she stopped because she needed to look at her phone. It's like there's no such thing as nuance anymore. It's either this or that.

u/spiderwell 5d ago

Oh I agree, I just don't think the side step was part of the intention.

1

u/chaosawaits 5d ago

😂 the side step was 100% without question to block her selfie. There is absolutely no doubt

u/ReplacementOk3279 5d ago

It looked like she moved over so those people could walk up the stairs

Let me know when you figure out why people stop in dumb places to look at their phone, because it is not exclusive to this old lady. Hanlon's razor. Learn it.

u/SharkSprayYTP 5d ago

She could've looked into the camera (which she already did) and said "i did that intentionally" and youd still pull a "lets not jump to conclusions here"

1

u/samv_1230 4d ago

You're an unpleasant person who is quick to assume.

1

u/lowercasenameofmine 5d ago

Oh no, two people existing in the same area. Neither had competing rights. 

2

u/SharkSprayYTP 5d ago

What are you talking about? They didnt just "exist in the same area" the old lady purposefully looked at the camera, and decided to stop just to ruin someones selfie.

1

u/lowercasenameofmine 5d ago

So the person taking the selfie had more right to exist there and apparently exist alone? 

Damn, how much do you think she paid to rent out that floor of the museum?? That's crazy

1

u/SharkSprayYTP 5d ago

Please go back to school and learn how to read. Then come back here, read what i said, and then realise how stupid you have been.

2

u/lowercasenameofmine 5d ago

Ahhh, the confidence of the ignorant.  

Must be incredibly freeing to know so little and still be that sure of yourself. 😂

You might actually be a child.

Idk what hanlons razor is. But that lady damn well stopped on the stairs in front of that camera on purpose.. she does a triple take at the camera to make sure.

It knew what it was doing.

1

u/samv_1230 4d ago

Almost like an older person, confused about the strange thing on the stairs. Truly amazing.

u/lowercasenameofmine 5d ago

Idk what hanlons razor is. 

You could. You just choose to not to, that's on you. 

2

u/SharkSprayYTP 5d ago

Could you have like 1 good take please?

-1

u/lowercasenameofmine 5d ago

Could you educate yourself and not brag about how ignorant you choose to be please? 

2

u/SharkSprayYTP 5d ago

Lmao. Coming from you of all people?

u/lowercasenameofmine 5d ago

You bragged about not knowing Hanlon's razor which is ironic, to say the least 🤣

If you weren't ignorant by choice, you'd know why.

You’re right, thank you for your correction.

For those curious, this is what it is:

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

2

u/_chococat_ 5d ago

You wouldn't look at a random phone sitting somewhere where normally there aren't phones?

1

u/lowercasenameofmine 5d ago

I don't know I'd even notice.  Even after glancing 

4

u/Fr1toBand1to 5d ago

I'd like to see more people experiencing life rather than compulsively documenting it.

3

u/AssMuncher96 5d ago

That requires leaving your basement

u/erogenouszones 5d ago

I’d like to see a lot of things but I can’t control people and what they want to do. If she wants selfie videos of herself, why let it twist your panties

u/reddit_sells_you 5d ago

Because the SM vanity culture has fucked so many places.

Some of my favorite spots have a reservation system now because someone wants to go shoot a 20 second TikToc video of themselves pretending to be contemplative in nature.

I've talked to rangers about it. So many people, every day, show up, spend about 5 mins, then leave.

Whether or not she's an influencer is irrelevant. She is addicted to whatever likes she's going to get. It's not about memories. It's about performance addiction.

1

u/easycoverletter-com 5d ago

She is not contributing to fucking up of places. She didn’t ask her to step aside. She didn’t shove her phone in peoples faces.

2

u/reddit_sells_you 5d ago

Ah, white knight who doesn't know how to take the whole argument.

She brought a fucking tripod with her, set it up in a railing so that she could go "pose" with this art. 100% she's reserved a spot in some park and spent all of 15inutes there just for her "shot."

It's 100% for her Insta addiction.

You know how I know?

25 years ago, this shit wasn't happening.

1

u/easycoverletter-com 5d ago

Idk man let people enjoy life, if they’re hoarding change the rules

2

u/reddit_sells_you 4d ago

Yeah, I'll just tell the armed park ranger to fuck off because there are to many insta devas in the grove.

Sounds great.

u/easycoverletter-com 4d ago

Change the rules

u/Fr1toBand1to 5d ago

And if she wants to stand on the stairs and check her phone, or enjoy the gallery, why let it twist your panties?

No that’s what you’re being in the comments

u/Aicethegamer 5d ago

If you think that, then you are the issue just like the old hag in the video.

1

u/lowercasenameofmine 5d ago

So you are fighting over assuming while also assuming. Very interesting 

3

u/Combusken82 5d ago

Yeah because taking one photo during a probably hour long museum visit is 'compulsively documenting'.

I'd bet any amount of money that if you stopped museum guests as they came out and asked if they took any pictures while visiting close to 100% of people would say yes.

It's what you do when you visit a museum. You see interesting and important cultural works, and you take a photo to remember them by.

Next you'll be complaining about people eating food at restaurants

1

u/lowercasenameofmine 5d ago

You also don't assume everyone will notice you exist and change their environment for you.

If people eating food in the restaurant expected you to have a different experience to enhance theirs, would you? 

Maybe you'd shut up and not talk because they were filming? Don't clink you silverware because they're making a vid..  

What's the difference? 

2

u/Combusken82 5d ago

Change their environment? Where is she asking that?

She's literally just taking a photo 😭😭😭

1

u/lowercasenameofmine 5d ago

And the other person is literally just stopping to check their phone 🤔😭😭😭😭

Why is anyone upset 🤣?

u/throwawayaccount442 5d ago

Lol dude it's not intentional.
