In reply to the discussion: How do you feel about publicly shaming private citizens who behaved badly? [View all]Behind the Aegis
(56,113 posts)Given the info in the article, we don't know how loud he was or wasn't, much less the condition of his voice. I have really good hearing, so I can hear all kinds of things, that many would think I wouldn't/hadn't heard.
The photo taker was likely very annoyed after two hours of that and so she took some revenge.
BINGO! REVENGE! That was what this was about...REVENGE. Though it can be quite rewarding to some, revenge hardly ever works out well for any involved.
Makes me think of people who discuss their medical affairs ad nauseum. If it's private, then why are you telling me? Why couldn't I pass that info on to others? If it's someone I know well and they ask me to keep it to myself it's one thing. But if I talk about it in public and people hear me, why do I get to expect them to keep it to themselves?
People do stupid things all the time. Also, some people are talking in a normal speaking voice with the expectation that the conversation is between them. There are more than a few people who will almost give themselves an aneurism straining to hear others' conversations. Just as some are pissed at this man for not thinking of his wife, why is the same "pissed offedness" not leveled at this person?
