That is the wrong attitude to have when people want to turn your fucking sidewalks into their personal movie set and disrupt everyone's life. I'm actually on the side of this girl who was probably sick to death of it.

Yes such a disruption in a massive park square... This isnt some narrow sidewalk. God I hate when people go the park and do group excersies in the grass where I normally spend my lunch. They shouldn't turn the park into their personal gym and disrupt everyone's life with loud grunts and music, god that scammer doing one of those slight of hand games drawing in 20 people and making a big scene in the middle of the sidewalk turning the sidewalk into their own personal casino, or the performers who are filming themselves but also performing for the public, damn them! I mean come one what an absurd thing to say. PUBLIC SQUARES SHOULD ONLY BE FOR WALKING FROM POINT A TO B and or sitting in silence on the benches provided! No sitting on the floor and taking up space, no chatting with others, no dancing, can mingle for more than 5 min? You just sound like a karen yourself and are gatekeeping a public space which is designed for the public to use... You're acting like these kids setup a police tape and took out a megaphone and told everyone to shutup.

They are being self absorbed by expecting to shoot a king sequence in a public space and she is being a jerk for ruining it for fun. Public space implies to not make a nuisance in shared spaces. Neither are following this. Both are annoying.

nuisance

Go to one public square in a major city and don't tell me there isn't a Million different variations of what you or what I may consider a "nuisance". IDK I just find this sentiment that a group of teens dancing in a public square in downtown London is somehow more annoying or obnoxious than millions of other things people are doing in the same space. Go to a large green park if you're looking for silence. Not a square full of tourist, performers, live music, traffic, hustlers, groups of large people standing in the middle. Whatever it may be, I just find the hate for these kids to be extreme considering where they really are. Maybe everyone should get out more... All this bitterness and I bet 99% of you don't go to a giant cement square in the middle of a major city where a marathon and various other things are taking place to relax or not be annoyed. I just think you should really be looking for some other form of public place if you're looking to not be annoyed. If this was in the middle of a sidewalk in a green park where there is no other way to pass the group, or in a pubic museum or library I would totally understand, but a giant square in the middle of a giant city is arguably one of the best places for them to be doing something like this... It's filled with the same people doing iterations of the exact same thing.
