Until last summer... I was blueberry picking one morning with my mom. We picked 3 very full buckets and called it a day and headed for the checkout hut. We're hot sweaty and tired and just wanted to checkout and go home, but we were suddenly blocked in the middle of a row of blueberries with no way to get out! Why? Because someone was photographing a lady in a sundress and hat caressing the blueberry bushes. We ended up walking through the photo and I've never felt such "get off my lawn" sentiment before. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 years ago (5 children) Lol for real though, ruining an influencer’s shot - or even better, a live broadcast - when they’re being an obnoxious asshole gives me no small degree of pleasure. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 years ago (4 children) When my wife and I got a chance to go to musee d'orsey in Paris there was a beautiful manual clock on show. There was this annoying influencer standing about 15 ft in front of it and not letting anybody get closer. She would constantly whine that they were in her shot. I walked right up to the mechanisms of the clock to inspect it while she just yapped at me and my wife laughed and laughed and laughed. Best experience in Paris by far. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 years ago (3 children) Lmao that honestly sounds delightful! Hope you guys enjoyed the rest of your trip too! Tangentially, did you get a chance to catch a performance of the string quartet that plays in Sainte-Chapelle cathedral? If you’re at all into that style of music, it’s one of the coolest experiences I have seen like that, and I cannot recommend it enough. The cathedral itself is gorgeous, the acoustics are absolutely breathtaking, and the quartet is like crazy talented. Can’t recommend that enough. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 years ago (2 children) We sadly did not get to take that in. But the second chapter of the story is how two canadians visiting paris brought covid to basel switzerland, and caused a whole company campus to close.
