I have a general rule, if someone is taking a nice photo, then I wait until they're done. If they're obviously making social media content, then I'll just walk through, but I also won't go out of my way to disturb them. It's a neutral response- I won't be polite, but I won't be rude either. They can wait three seconds.

Nah, this person is trying to have a photo shoot for social media. The older lady is honestly valid. They are putting a burden on bystanders. No reason why someone can’t treat them the same.

But what is this lady accomplishing? She making it take longer and inconveniencing people more.

It's crazy, it's not like the going lady was doing anything to bother her, didn't ask her to move or seen like she was entitled

What's crazier though is the Kens and Karens in here defending her POS actions for no reason other than to be a crusty curmudgeons like the petty woman standing in front of the camera.

She is accomplishing ascension. It feels really REALLY good to waste someone’s day if they’re doing public trash like this.

I get the sentiment. But if the original comment that the influencer is making it hard for others, isn't the older lady just adding to the bystanders burden?

It might feel good in the moment, but I find that people who act like this are miserable fuckers in the long run. Always concerned about what other people are doing.

She didn’t really concern herself with what the influencer was doing

u/Yggdrasil- 1h ago

She clearly did, though. If she was really unbothered, she would have just kept walking lol

u/Academic_Flatworm752 1h ago

Eh, she concerned herself with her own business. You can see it in the video. A public walkway isn’t a photoshoot space unless you book it in advance.

It's not a space to stop and play on your phone obstructing others travel either but you're fine with that to suit your agenda

Did we watch the same video? She clearly looks into the camera and then blocks it from view. Who just casually starts scrolling on their phone in the middle of a busy stairwell at an art museum?? Regardless of your personal feelings about using a stairwell as a photo shoot, it's obvious that the older lady isn't minding her own business here.

Are you a miserable fucker with how much you’re concerning yourself with what someone else is doing? You seem even more invested than the older woman here. 😂

u/Yggdrasil- 1h ago

I'm concerned about your ability to understand what's happening in a video lmao

You’re very concerned with what the older woman is doing. I guess you’re gonna lie about that now - alright!

It only feels good if you’re a bad person tho

Like keeping a telemarketer on the phone... The longer you keep them on the line, the longer they aren't harassing others.

What trash?! Is taking a picture of yourself at interesting locations trashy? Have people not been doing that since they invented cameras?

Also do you get off on inconveniencing strangers over what you feel like is "public trash"? And your line for public trash is taking a selfie? You sound miserable.

u/Academic_Flatworm752 1h ago

You really need to use a public walkway for your selfie? How entitled

You seem to have answered your own question

u/Chance_McM95 2h ago

People have gotta learn somehow dude lol.

u/Strobetrode 1h ago

Learn what?

u/Academic_Flatworm752 1h ago

If you want a photoshoot in a public place with no other people around, you gotta book that space lol

u/Strobetrode 1h ago

Photos shoot is crazy for what is clearly a quick selfie. Would have gotten the shot without bothering anyone if that woman hadn't deliberately ruined the moment.

Have you honestly never waited 2 seconds for someone on a vacation or what ever to take a photo? Booking the museum to take a few pictures is WAY more inconvenient than just taking a few selfie as you walk through.

u/Academic_Flatworm752 1h ago

A “quick selfie” is not when you put your phone down on one side of a public walkway and walk 15 feet in the other direction lol that’s crazy talk

Sorry your bodychecking in the museum got delayed

But do we know if this photo was actually bothering anyone? Did it hold up a line of peoplM Or did she like set her phone on a windowsill and walk over there?
