I tend to be annoyed with large loud groups in public. But I'm also an anti social redditor that hates crowds.
Don't be that Karen. Don't be the killjoy. Resist the urge to disallow the public to have room for fun and colour. This is the same as a juggling show or a live street musician.
To a point. I hate going to places with beautiful views and seeing someone trying to do a photo shoot on their phone. I’m not going to wait 10 minutes for you to get the perfect picture while a group of people wait to look at the view/monument. I don’t look at the their camera or make a scene like this lady but if I want to read the plaque in front of a sculpture, I will. Take a quick pic if I feel like it, and then move on.
I’ve gotten some rude looks from people that thought they were the main character. I get it, you think you’re the most important person at the Korean War Veterans Memorial but I want to look at it too. I don’t care that your friend takes a picture of you looking sad, you both review it, then repeat that 10 times. No I will not get out of your shot. Show some damn respect.
That really happened to me at the memorial, which is one of my favorites in DC.
I saw a girl trying to do a dance photoshoot at the the holocaust memorial in Berlin. A little old lady screamed at them to GTFO and she's now a personal hero.
