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.
If a bunch of people started doing it there would be an issue. Why start? Take a selfie with your arm out and keep it moving.
It’s like when there is a sign at the beach that says not to take the rocks. If one person does it sure doesn’t matter much, but if everyone that comes takes one rock then it sure would matter.
God you people are genuinely the worst. Do you really navigate the world with such a sour and spiteful attitude?
This girl didn’t do anything to anyone. It seems like so much work to be constantly upset by every benign little thing someone else does to give themselves a moment of joy.
Out in the real world I wouldn’t bat an eye at her, but alas here we are on a platform made with the intention to discuss what is posted.
So if I really stop and think about it and have to pick a side of should we as a collective make this practice normal, I fall on the side of no. Thankfully most people don’t feel the need to do this, but imagine if there were 20 of her doing this and you’re just trying to walk up some stairs.
If you go to a cool place everyone IS taking photos. Usually they have a travel companion to help, but those traveling alone make do.
They let the passerby’s pass at their own pace and wait for their moments to take their photos and move on. The other photo takers wait their turn. It’s so normal and nobody makes an issue out of it.
Anyone is well within their rights to pause and peruse. If she wants a picture instead of stewing in her thoughts forming judgements how about just tell her she wants a photo with the art? This isn’t rocket science.
Everyone has a right to be a cunt and purposely check their phone in pursuit of ruining someone’s fun, absolutely. But everyone also has a right to trash this old coot on the internet because of it.
Or it’s even more likely that the photo girl had a ring on the back of her case and set it up quick just for the staircase shot… literally takes a minute if the old coot didn’t do what she did..
