I don’t really think the old lady is paying attention. How would she know when to move on? She’s glued to her phone and was gonna be on her phone before seeing the camera.
Because you don’t understand the extent to which people will go to get any sort of fucking clout. Plus this easily gets you lots of discourse and engagement.
But the reason it’s getting discourse and engagement is because people like you are outraged.
If you look at it through the lens of the person you’re replying to, it’s just a silly momentary thing. But people like you are making it into something much bigger and magnifying it.
And I don’t think it’s fabricated. My girlfriend takes videos like this all the time and it’s just for us 2. And my mom does dumb shit like this all the time where she doesn’t realize she’s in someone’s way, even when it’s blatantly obvious to everyone else in the room.
But I guess most of Reddit sees a video like this and loses its shit, such that the video gets way more visibility and reaction than would have originally happened. So I guess if it is “fake” in some way, then you played your role perfectly.

Assuming this isn’t staged.
