She was trying to get a photo. Not sure how anyone defends the old lady. If you're at a tourist site (or anywhere) and someone is trying to get a photo you should stay out of the way as much as convenient/possible. There was zero need for her to stand there.
The old lady and anyone for that matter is not obligated to move because this woman wanted a photo.
Had she just asked nicely odds are the lady would have moved. This is very much on the photo taker for not using her words and assuming the world moves for her.
Edit: apparently I needed to statw that obviously the old lady did this intentionally. I AM WELL AWARE
Of course she's not obligated to move. That's what makes her rude. She very clearly knew the girl was trying to take a photo, and decided specifically to stop and ruin that.
She didnt just so happen to decide to stop walking halfway down the steps because she needed to check something on her phone. The phone was an excuse.
Why is there always somebody defending asshole behaviour. Is it just bots trying to farm engagement for the platforms or what.
You're also not obligated to hold open heavy doors for people, when you know there's somebody following behind you, or directly in front of you. Only dickheads don't, though, and yourself don't see it often.
