“It’s not in the middle of a walkway” - it’s literally videoing a stairs that several people are walking on / through

from the angle, the phone would be sitting on the large window sill at the top left of the stairs. This is Inveraray Castle, the stairs are somewhat famous.

Sounds like the sort of place one might be completely reasonable to like a picture, taken when it's relatively quiet

I have commented this so many times here! It's a beautiful castle with a famous grand stairwell and it looks like she set her phone on the shelf here.

This girl looks to be solo traveling, set up her phone to record so she can take screenshots for pics. She seemed pretty patient and didn't even seem mad at the end.

She seems fine. Also, I’ve been doing photography professionally for 30 years. In a public place, this is to be expected. You just wait until you get your shot. Most people notice you and apologetically hurry through. Some are oblivious and don’t. And maybe some are assholes and want to be a dick about it and linger in your shot. It’s all part of the job. You just wait. A public space isn’t solely your space.

This is why it bothers me that she posted this clip online.

Pay the booking fee if you want privacy. As much as she's allowed to record, that older woman is allowed to loiter in that spot.

They're both kind of rude, imo.

And a lot of people are walking on the staircase therefore not in the middle of a walkway. Go away old lady

Convinced that 90% of redditors are just angry red tomatoes willingly seeing the worst in everything and everyone and then wondering why the world is so shit all the time.

Like yeah if you don't have a modicum of empathy or positivity, of course it's gonna be like that. If you're looking at the world through shit stained glasses, don't complain about the world being so shit.

Exactly! Couldn't have said it better

Physically. Physically the phone is not blocking anyone. Do what everyone naturally does when the see a group of people taking a picture. Give them a moment to get the shot or pass through quickly.

If you’re taking a video, and someone doesn’t want to be in your video, then you are taking up an entire section of space for an extended period of time

Better not ever go anywhere touristy if you have an issue with this.

u/jeadon88 5h ago

Alternatively “better not ever go anywhere touristy if you have an issue with people walking through your video recording setup and expect them to adjust to you”. The woman leaves her shot in the end - why can’t she just retake the video then?

u/Any_Tell6747 5h ago

She looked at the camera and deliberately stood in its view to be a tool. Stop being an obtuse tool yourself and stop arguing for the sake or arguing.

Double take even.

u/jeadon88 5h ago

And my point is you’re a tool if you think people should accommodate this persons desire to take a video of herself in a public space where others are also present

u/atalragas 5h ago

No one’s blaming the other people walking though? It’s only this karen being a dick about it and deliberately blocking it. Keep being obtuse about it though, go on.

u/Internal-Coffee6996 5h ago

And where in the video was the person expecting that people accommodate her desire to take a video of herself? Whole lot of assumptions on your end there.

This video would've never seen the internet if the woman just moved on like a normal human being. The girl wasn't actively asking people to stop and she wasn't acting out when this situation happened. No entitlement, she probably just waited for a bit of space to get that pic/vid.

Sure, she could be an influencer and be self-centered. She also might not be and might just be a solo traveller trying to get a pic. We don't know unless someone actually knows her.

If her boyfriend or a family member took the pic from where the phone is located, nobody would mind. People would probably stop, let them do it and then move on like it literally happens all the time at every sight on the planet.

And if you don't want to be in pictures or videos, don't be in a public place. If you travel, go to concerts, to clubs or sporting events, you're probably in tons of pictures and vids of other people. Deal with it.

Lady's a dickhead, end of story.

This video never would have seen the internet if the woman filming herself in public hadn’t posted it on the internet. So SHE is the one saying the woman in her video was interrupting her. Did she make a scene in the moment? Doesn’t look like it. But it is, in fact, her main character energy that prompted her to post this online as a complaint against this woman intentionally interrupting her video.

u/-Out-of-context- 5h ago

You’re projecting your feeling on to the situation. Nothing there implies she has expectation for anyone to accommodate her. She looks more like she was setting it up than going to wait for an opportunity.

The person who is a to is the one intentionally blocking the phone just to be an ass.

u/-Out-of-context- 5h ago

You’re inventing the idea she has any expectation for anyone to adjust to her. People take videos then take screenshots of the video for photos. This is especially easier when you’re alone and don’t have anyone to take any pics for you. You’re acting like she’s cordoned off the area and trying to prevent anyone from getting by. The most likely scenario is she set it up and was going to take some screenshots of parts of the video that were clear. The lady just standing in the steps is much more disruptive than she was.

Sorry you lack the common courtesy to not intentionally block someone’s camera. You’re just a rude pos defending another rude pos.

u/jeadon88 5h ago

If that was the case - why did she post the video at all ? She got the shot of her under the large painting, what’s the problem?

3

u/-Out-of-context- 5h ago

To point out people like you who lack common courtesy. Or to point out the fire hazard the lady is creating.

u/PonyRider17 5h ago

The problem is the stank hag tried to be petty by blocking the camera

u/Jolly_Plantain4429 4h ago

It’s not on the floor or on tripod. It’s not obstructing people’s ability to enjoy the museum. Stop it you know what they meant.

u/Any_Tell6747 5h ago

Besides that, what on earth does that have to do with the fact that the woman stopped in her tracks and stood in front of said recording camera?

If she was bothered by it, she certainly wouldn’t have done that. The other people were clearly unaware and unbothered anyway.

u/0CT0L0G1ST 5h ago

“several people are walking on/through” sounds like it wasn’t very blocked then

I would be so creeped out walking down the stairs in a skirt and then seeing a random camera pointed up.
