If you were sitting at a bus stop in the pouring rain....

Asked for a lift.

He was going the other way.

Chucked something at him through the open window.

I don't get it. Why would it be patronising and ageist?

I'm a bad shot.

Funny old people waiting for a bus in the rain? If you don't get it, you don't get it.

Just grinned and waved

It may well have been a great photo though.

Not necessarily patronising

Just a snapshot of a moment in time

How poetic am I!

Perhaps street photography is his hobby, and that was a genuine observation.

Wouldn’t have bothered me at all. I’d probably have laughed

Asked for royalties when the photo was published.

Was the man in the car Prince Andrew by any chance?

Did you bite your thumb at him?

I wouldn't be offended.
Any group of people waiting at a bus stop would probably make a good picture to an artist.

It wouldn't happen I never catch a bus anywhere.

Didn’t get it then gonegirl 🚌☔️

What didn't I get Maw? (Went to bed last night)

There was no way he would have said that to a group of forty year olds. It was ageist.

Well, one of the old blokes would have been my husband, sat with me. We would probably have looked at each other and shrugged. Wouldn’t have taken offence or thought it ageist, just thought it odd!

I'd have thought the driver was drunk.

I just didn’t

Oh right! I see.

Were they wearing clown outfits or fancy dress? My brother used to take random photos and some went into exhibitions.
My first, probably vain thought was, that I couldn’t care less if no one I know would see them though I try to avoid having photos taken whenever I can.

Why such a negatife opinion, is that really your assessment of yourself? How very sad.

Clearly the man in the car did not think like you.

Or maybe you think these wonderful old ladies in Paris, are also "funny" ? When I took this photo I thought (and still do) that they were charming.

Someone needs to start a "People at Bus Stops" Twitter account.

Does anyone else follow LakesBins, LakesStiles, MyFaveBench, etc? They can be quite amusing.
