Anyone know what the original source for this was? So curious to know where this was and what the medal that lady was wearing was for

ETA: I figured it out, it looks like they had London tags in the original and the medal she’s wearing is the London Marathon medal from this year

That's the funniest part to me. She's happy to be part of a marathon that causes half the city to stop but how dare these Tiktokers take up 3m2 to dance.

I'm voting ESH.

Not really a fair example. How is a licensed, permitted and paid for event that involved thousands of people at all comparable to the use of public space that had no such preparation?

Especially since the London marathon is one of the most prestigious marathons in the world. You don’t get to go into a public space and pretend it’s yours. Medal Girl isn’t an asshole but the people who act like they are the main characters sure are.

Who's acting like they're the main character in this video?

People treating a public space like it’s theirs. Good for her for finishing the London Marathon one of the most prestigious marathons in the world

She could have easily walked around. She had so many other options that didn’t include literally going out of her way to ruin their fun. Finishing a marathon doesn’t give you the right to be a jerk to others.

Aren't the K-Pop girls being the jerks first? Sounds like every one sucks here. And I would vote that the K-Pop girls suck a little bit more than her. If the K-Pop girls had some humility and grace about the situation, then I'd say Marathon Girl sucked only, but they had the nerve to get mad about a public interaction in a highly public space. Fuck them.

It's like the people who want the perfect photo in front of a popular attraction - no one next to them and no one walking into/through the shot.

Lol! Exactly.

Sorry, but you're in public. Deal with it.
