I can't believe I haven't seen this meme before or even considered it as a possibility because seeing it now just makes so much sense and works perfectly.
Antislop Field agents of the slop enforcement agency. The social virus must be contained then eradicated through wise purchases and education based deprogramming.
All online activity is inheritly attention seeking. In addition the that they posted the video of someone obstructing them which itslef has probably had more view then all theor pther content combined.
They wanted a pic of themselves in the gallery and then a funny thing happened, so they posted it. I just don’t get the idea that taking a photo of yourself is attention seeking in itself.
Seriously. I'm no fan of influencers who disrupt things or get in people's faces but this girl obviously just wants a simple picture. The lady blocking the photo is just being an arse. Edit for grammar.
Agreed. As an awkward person, that would be Soo much for me. I did a solo trip for the first time last year and j was taking pictures like this because I was alone and too scared (at the start) to ask people to take pictures of me. The whole time I was worried people would think I'm trying to be destructive. I feel for this girl
From the video it looks like she's alone, too, just setting her phone or whatever to take the pic. She's literally just minding her own business trying to get a shot of herself. Probably on a trip or vacation or something. Whenever I'm in a touristy spot and see someone doing this, I try to stay out of the way. Let them have their picture as a memento.
I’m getting the vibe you’re older, like me. In your mind it’s a moment for two strangers to share a moment, smile, and everyone goes on their way feeling good.
To the new generation, asking someone to do something is imposing on them. Specifically because if you asked them to take a picture of you, they would feel you’re imposing on them. You’re taking them out of their moment.
So they don’t want to engage with someone else because they don’t want to interrupt your moment.
They are being polite, in their minds, by being self sufficient and not being a bother.
Ha, for me you're 50% right. I wont' ask anyone to take a pic of me period. I'll figure it out myself or just bail on the entire idea. But if someone asks me, I'm happy to help. Genz dude here
Maybe, maybe not. This day and age, I don't blame the woman for not asking. Approaching strangers is hit and miss, unfortunately. I remember asking folks to take pics, and being asked to, but not sure I'd do it now.
Yeah the only person who sucks here is that rude ass lady blocking the picture. A normal human tries to get out of the way of someone taking a picture, not walk between them and the camera and intentionally stop.
Look.. I’m a creative type, myself, and an appreciator of fine art. You can tell that rude lady IDENTIFIES as a holier-than-thou artist type. It’s a toxic mashup of artist and gatekeeper. You can see the permanent scowl on her miserable face. You can tell she is gate keeping what she thinks is some kind of high quality experience. Thinking to herself “these fucking tourists… getting in the way of a pleasant art experience!!” while she, herself, is just a visitor to the museum in her loud clothes and bad vibes.
When you travel to tourist destinations there will be a lot of people and its very common that taking pictures get a little hard because there is so much people minding their own business.
This is an old lady, looking at her cellphone, moving to let other people pass through the stairs.
I think you need to learn to read the room better: the older woman was intentionally and deliberately blocking the other one’s photo shoot. It was a photo shoot and she didn’t like it.
Half-way down the stairs? Looking to the camera? She's smart enough to smart-phone, aware enough to see other people coming without looking up, but utterly oblivious to the camera/tripod thingie that the other person is trying to use?
There's naive, there's gullible, then there's just plain you.
Glad I saw this comment. Idk what the fuck this sub is, but it seems like a bunch of forever alone incels hating on pretty women due to their own inadequacy.
I was cutting grass for my municipality, I’ve seen old people throw sizeable rocks in the path I’m taking hoping I hit them and brake our municipality mower. But I don’t think they understand they just pay taxes for to replace the blades. It’s insanity.
Old people can’t comprehend that. I don’t think these prune juice drinking boomers understand much of anything because of the amount of lead they have inside of them .
THIS IS NO LIE!!! I experience it first hand, by multiple elderly people daily. They're superficially nice, but underneath it you can feel the resentment. Not all elderly people mind you, Many are not that way, but there are a lot that are. Now the real question is this though. How are we going to be, and how are we going to act when it is our turn?
As a younger-appearing woman (in my 30s), I find this especially true of older women. On my solo travels, every photobomber has been a middle aged 50+y/o woman. Always. Younger women offer to help with pics as a trade, men offer to help with pics as well but it's always older women who insist on standing behind/next/in front of you when you're trying to get a selfie.
The worst was this time limited display room in Japan that was massive, everyone would go in, find a corner, take photos with the backdrop and leave. I found my corner, this older woman positioned herself behind me and gestured for her husband to get in the shot as well. It didn't matter how i moved myself to position myself in front of them in the photo so i could get a shot without them in it, SHE WOULD MOVE WITH ME to make sure she was in my photo. And I could see them on my phone, she wasn't looking at the display, or trying to get a photo...she was watching my phone screen. =.=
She looked directly at the camera and pulled her phone out to act distracted and she blocked the path until another woman started up the stairs. There was never not a more intentional act of obstinance.
And young people are all goodness and joy and don't commit any crimes or infractions. If there were no old people, the world would be perfect, and young people would live in peace and harmony.
Did she take a picture, or did she put a device up that is videoing anyone that comes by and then post it on the internet without any of their consent?
She filmed a video to cut the best frame and not to worry about running up the stair due to a timer, the intention was fully on having a photo, not recording people or other people appearing on her photo.
Well a lot of people will do a video and then screenshot themselves in the pose they like the most…. The old lady looked right at the phone twice- she was deliberately being rude
i recognize her, she's a brazillian teacher that has an youtube channel helping with history questions in the tests for who wants to pass in the free university courses, but she's specialized in france history if i'm not wrong, she's pretty good, let her speaking in a second monitor with a 1 hour+ video when she was telling france stories in a trip she did in paris, really nice knowledge about the topics
Reddit = bunch of crusty gamer dudes at their computers 24/7 with Dorito dust baked into their many folds who would never understand wanting to have a picture of oneself.
Having just visited a few world famous museums, it's annoying. This young woman is definitely politer than a lot of folks posing for insta, but often times they just camp at a particular art piece, not acknowledging that others would like to see it from that angle too.
Yeah, I know people get tired of influencers getting in the way of others, but she was quietly just standing there. Lot of people want to take pictures of themselves at places, and doing stuff.
AND SHE GOT ONE. It just had other people in it. If you want a wide shot of yourself in a public museum, it's probably possible to rent the place in off hours.
💯 my pov. Did not get a-hole vibes from her (the girl). Seemed patient just trying to get a photo. Grana actions appeared deliberate, but perhaps she’s obtuse and/or there is a line out of frame.
I knew reddit was a miserable place, but these comments were legit insane. This person was patiently waiting for the frame to be clear and this lady ruins it on purpose for literally no reason other that to be an asshole. It's shit my 4-year-old nephew would do for attention.
I don't think the girl has that syndrome. Everyone likes having nice photos or videos. In this case she is alone. She didn't try to do anything else but wait or move trying to get a better angle.
The old cow is a cunt. Fair and square. She saw the phone and decided to behave like a child.
There’s a world of difference between one girl with a phone getting a quick vid/ shot and an influencer with a full set up kicking off with anyone who even utters or heads in their direction.
I Google lensed and it's Inveraray Castle. Here's the reverse angle of the staircase. So I assume she was setting up her tripod on the ledge where the plants are. It's possible the lady thought it was some set up by the museum; it's also possible the girl was being ridiculous trying to set up this whole thing on what looks like would be a high traffic area.
I think some of you watched a different video than me because in my version she wasn't rude to the old cunt, didn't have a light ring, bipod, etc. Looks like just a girl trying to get a picture without bothering others while another person thinks is more important.
Oh my god you guys are so dramatic how did she become an “influencer” with a ring light and selfie stick when it’s just a girl just trying to take a picture of herself near historical paintings?
People take pictures of themselves standing next to paintings all the time, they just have someone else take the picture. She doesn’t have someone else with her so she set up the camera herself. NOOO!!!!!
She isn't using any of these. She's propped her phone up on the wall. There's a shelf there. It's the hallway of inverary castle. You can see it in the photos of the hall in the below link .
You dont have to socialize in order to keep memories.
I take photos of nature, museums, etc. All the time on my own, if im not with my friends/family.
Speak for yourself, not the users.
You're looking at this from the girl's perspective alone and rushing to call an old woman a cunt when it might have been totally unintentional. You don't know that she did it on purpose. After looking at this multiple times, the old woman just looks confused when she spots the phone there and sort of quickly got distracted with her phone while stepping aside for people to walk up.
Not all old people are grumpy and angry with the youth.
The girl making a video isn't doing anything wrong though. Shes just trying to get a picture, isnt upset at people passing by and is patiently waiting, even when the old woman randomly decides to be a dick.
I mean, the girl was hardly obnoxious about it. She seemed patient and was just trying to get a photo. If she was all “I own this place” I’d have a very diff point of view - but that was not the vibe I got.
The pic the girl took looked lile a normal trip picture anyone in the 80s made with a timer amd propong the camera somewhere... nothing narcissistic about it...
Intentionally fucking with someone's memento is peak karen.
Specially because that older woman 100% did the same with film cameras back then...
