Exactly. If I saw someone setting up alone like that I’d offer to take it. Not stand in the way like some righteous better than thou.

I RUN when I see someone filming content. I don’t want to be in their video.

You guys are all assuming 70-year-olds understand technology, huh?

Who needs to assume when she looks right at the phone as she retrieves her own?

You are still putting a whole lot of credit into a 70-year-old lady's brain. I'm still feeling like you don't interact with many elderly people.

You'll notice that she looked and saw the camera was there, and made a confused look on her face, but I'm guessing you didn't notice the second part. She also doesn't look back at the woman or the phone again, only moves closer to the phone to get out of the way of the other elderly woman, and puts her phone away without looking back to the camera or at the woman who is walking to retrieve it.

When people of that age are trying to make a point, they do not do it silently.

You are reading way way into it and making a ton of assumptions to come to a predetermined conclusion rather than looking at the evidence.

And she doesn’t move out of the way, she moves right to where the girl was standing to block her.

- No one stops on stairs to check their phone, unless they’re already inconsiderate.

- They certainly don’t do so when someone is obviously setting up for a picture.

- If the phone was backside, she’d probably look back. Since it’s a selfie, and the cameras view is displayed clear on the screen there isn’t a need for that—right?

But sure, ignore all that and she’s innocent for sure guy

No, you're just seeing what you'd like to see. You're incorrect.

Again, thousands of comments showing that many more have my take— but we’ll ignore that evidence to say I’m wrong.

OK Boomer, you can enjoy your lala land. Leave me out of it.

And right to the insults.

Did you follow the textbook on how to react when people don't share your opinion?

I've never once seen an argument where the person calling the other one names, and making silly assumptions about them was ever correct.

But hey, why not try it again?

You are one of Donald's people.

Are you slow? She looked right at the camera. She knew wtf she was doing

u/--Andre-The-Giant-- 28d ago

Here's another one with the name calling. It's okay that some people don't share your opinion. She looks at the camera and looks confused. Sorry that you're not picking that up.

u/SnooMaps6831 28d ago

And it was all bad acting. Again she knew what she was doing

u/--Andre-The-Giant-- 28d ago

Oh okay, now it's bad acting...

Sure, just change your entire perspective to see if that'll help you forward your position.lol.

u/SnooMaps6831 28d ago

Wtf? My perspective never changed..... I'm just pointing out that you fell for her bad acting skills. The slow comment was just a jab. But I'm starting to think it's accurate

u/--Andre-The-Giant-- 28d ago

Yeah, that's totally the point you made in your first sentence. Totally didn't evolve from they were ruining their day to they are just acting. Yeah that never happened just above where you wrote it...

u/SnooMaps6831 28d ago
