Phone Cameras & Secret Picture Taking
Discussion
Just wondering how you felt about this.
On the tube yesterday siting minding my own business at the end after along day at work and noticed the woman next to me leaning over and talking to the woman sitting opposite. Didn't pay any attention.
Then the tube stopped and heard the woman next to me was talking about the woman opposite's shoes being dog fur, coming from China and she shouldn't be wearing them. I looked and she did have some furry shoes on.
Got to Stratford a couple of stops later where the tube stops and noticed the woman next to me's phone had a Facebook page with the woman opposite's head and the yellow hand rail on it (also the disticntive looking woman sat next to furry shoe woman). The woman next to me was typing frantically under the picture.
Everybody got off and I waited for the woman with the phone to catch up with me and told her I'd be pretty pissed off if somebody took a picture of me on a tube without me knowing. She went on about dog fur shoes, I said they may have been nylon, but she said she knew alright.
She didn't appear to be a nutter or anything,
Anyway, I found that a bit much, just taking a picture of somebody on a train opposite without them knowing and posting on social media. Unethical shoes or not.

there is some uproar in the news today because some "lifestyle blogger" type took a photo, put it on Instagram for all her followers, of a group of tradesmen in McDonalds and she captioned it "These lot look theyve only got 1 GCSE between them" or something.
Sure, no expectation of privacy in public but, feels a bit wrong to have your image used in that way, does it not?

That should have been the end of the story, and all of the story.
Sorry it it's a bit cool story bro, but how do you feel about being photographed and stuck on Facebook without your knowledge? OK with it?In answer to your question: could not begin to give a s
t about it. Supremely indifferent. If the point of the OP was "tell me I did the right thing and back me up", then no.

You asked for opinions. Mine is that you should have continued to mind your own business.

There's a difference between minding my own business, and saying to her that I would have been pissed off he'd taken a secret picture of me like that.
But whatever.
