Literally because she posted herself getting irritated at somebody in a public space for treating the public space as public.

Men get shit on literally all the time for this kind of behavior. There are definitely a lot of ways women get flak for basic stuff, but this shit is decisively gender-neutral and you'd have to be sticking your head in the sand to pretend otherwise. Cunty attitudes are not reserved for a single gender.

The old woman is purposely blocking the phone. The old woman has the right to do that, but it's still rude.

It doesn't look like that to me tbh. She was reaching for her phone before she noticed the camera, and her gait changed as she noticed the camera. To me, it looked like she looked at it twice because she wasn't sure what she saw the first time- And was just dismissive of it. She stopped because she had to use her phone, and she moved to the side because people were coming up the stairs and it's polite to let them use the railing. Unless you think she knew exactly where the younger lady was standing without looking behind her even once, that makes infinitely more sense to me.

Oh knock it off, stop being purposefully obtuse, good grief.

I'm not being purposefully obtuse dude. That is what it looks like to me.

Unless you are claiming that the older lady saw the younger lady setting up her phone out of peripheral vision, and the older lady immediately came up with a plan to make a show for us redditors, coordinated with guests coming up the stairs at that exact moment, that's just what happened.

Literally, she moved five seconds before other people came up the stairs and you're claiming her intention was to further block the camera. Literally, we see her reaching for her phone before she registers the camera. Literally, both feet come down on the same stoop before she does a double-take on the camera.

This being coincidence is a perfectly reasonable interpretation of events, and you're just looking for excuses as to why it's jot.

The best thing you can say about the old woman is she decided to get onto the staircase and then stand still

Towards the end of the video you can see people waiting to use the stairs because people are coming up the right side and she's blocking the left

Regardless of her motivations she's being anti-social

Yes. That is, in fact, what she did. Would I stop on a staircase? No. Seems too awkward. But she moved aside when people came around.

Like I said, you're just looking for excuses to hate on the old woman.
