Tourist demands resident move away as she takes a picture of her husband in a busy area, resident refuses to give in to her entitlement: 'You don't own the pavement'

Back in the day, when people didn't have smartphones and the only camera you could take to your vacation was a film camera, you knew that every picture mattered. You only had a limited number of moments you could capture from your trip, so you took every single one very seriously. You had to make sure everyone is standing still, that your hands are not shaking, and hope that no one blinks the moment you press the button.

You had to make sure nothing was in the way, because it can be quite disappointing to come back from a magnificent trip and get the pictures developed, only to find out that most of them were blurry or had people crossing right in the middle of the frame.

But these days are behind us, which is why we all have thousands of pictures on our phones that look identical to one another. We can press that button as much as we want to ensure we get at least one perfect picture, and nothing stops us from taking even more if that is what we want.

Which is why people like the tourist in the story below are so annoying sometimes, because they act as if their picture is the most important thing in the world.
