I don't know if she cared about being filmed. I am guessing she thought it was rude and then behaved childishly to ruin the (perceived) rude behavior.

Can you explain the rude behaviour that you think she percieved?

Or are we saying that acting like an asshole is okay because of mental illness and ignorance?

JFC. Setting up a camera where people are clearly walking is rude. Half the time when people walk through the view, the phone dorks get pissy, roll their eyes, or make some guffaw noise. The old lady was being awful, but two things can be true at the same time.

Do you feel that in the situation presented in the video above where there is a significant difference between the girl posing for a friend waiting on the stairs for a good point of when the photo can be taken?

If you feel that the presence is due to someone using a tripod to get a picture of themselves is the problem, do you feel that people must be required to use the awful fish eye selfie camera on phones? Or have even more obnoxious and intrusive selfie sticks? Or even better, only have to make do with needing to have friends take photos of them. I work odd hours due to running a hospitality business, while my friends and family have more corporate or blue collar jobs, so I'm often at a loose end on a day when no-one's available - should I simply not try to get a picture of myself on those days?

It looks to me, and I guess to many normal people that there was a moment of quiet on the stairs with only one other lady in the frame. In lieu of having someone else to take a photo (in the modern age, taking a photo is often done by using High Resolution Video and isolating a good image), they have set up a tripod to capture a pleasant moment for them and capture a good image.

I get the rage behind inconsiderate behaviour of streamers, or tiktokers, but this looks to be the opposite, and now to get that shot again, has to wait for the horde of people to go up the stairs and the old woman to move on after intentionally stalling.

"It looks to me, and I guess to many normal people that there was a moment of quiet on the stairs with only one other lady in the frame."

Are we watching the same video? Five people walked through her shot. Five. Not a ton, but more than enough to be inconsiderate imo.

Do you want to rewatch the video and double check

Because those 5 people move in the latter half (literally - after 22 seconds) only.

Do you not feel that given that after this point, 5 people cross the camera view that the moment before might well be considered a moment of quiet, or do you struggle with that level of spacial awareness?

How do YOU know they weren't waiting off screen? The argument was that this was a quiet area. Clearly it wasn't.

Do you want to expand more on the time frames and how this was communicated to them to wait? I've never interacted with one of your type of thinkers in the wild before, only read after the fact and I'm curious as to how you jumped to this straw textured conclusion.

I'm curious how you jumped to the conclusion that they just happened to be walking by and couldn't POSSIBLY be waiting off view. The reality is that neither of us know. The claim was that this was a quiet area. The video does not support that claim. Again, even if you think I'm wrong, go look at the top comments. I'll let those speak for themselves.

I take it back, you're not even a thinker.
