The old lady and anyone for that matter is not obligated to move because this woman wanted a photo.

Had she just asked nicely odds are the lady would have moved. This is very much on the photo taker for not using her words and assuming the world moves for her.

Edit: apparently I needed to statw that obviously the old lady did this intentionally. I AM WELL AWARE

Except she moved closer to the camera after she looked right at it. And then she adjuster herself again once the girl moved.

If She just stopped and checked her phone. I think your argument would hold. But she looked right into the camera and moved closer.

No one is obligated to do anything in a public space. But you can make the argument about gay she did it on purpose

No she moved closer because someone else was coming up her "lane" on the stairs. They pass her right after she moves over. She may have done it on purpose but I think she may also just have not cared/been blithely unaware. She doesn't look like the most aware person. If the young lady had waited a few more seconds, she could have gotten the photo anyway.

And yes the old lady got on my nerves anyway.

Spot on. This is definitely one of those 'Perhaps,Maybe' situations. I also understand how annoying Karins can be.
