Two women are repeatedly blinded by a nearby group’s camera flash as they take multiple videos at a late-night sushi spot, ignoring the women's polite requests to stop filming, the group goes on to mock them further: 'The flash shining at us'

We genuinely think that this could be a Top 10 internationally-recognized worst public pet peeve! It's no shock that people don't just jump with joy at the idea of someone shining a flashlight into their eyes and filming them in a dark restaurant without their consent… we'd also prefer to eat our Maki in peace, without the impression that the 6 a.m. sunrise has come early. We can also all mentally picture the type of obnoxious 'phone-eat-first' individuals who use every piece of fish as an opportunity to film a full-on video production in public, instead of simply snapping one picture of all the dishes and politely slipping their phones into their bags.

Maybe it's an age thing… however, I'm in my early 20s, and I have had a similar experience with two moms who were using their flashlights as a temporary lamp in a dim sushi restaurant. Now, their intentions weren't the same, but we, too, eventually had to politely ask them to turn their flash down, because as sweet as they were, we preferred our sushi with a side of soy, not a side of 30 lumens…

These two women were fed up with this group's intentionally bright filming. It wasn't about the pictures; it was about the fact that those pictures were disturbing everyone else around them. After one woman politely went up to them, requesting they stop filming, the group only mocked her and proceeded to film the pair more. Perhaps instead of making enemies and avoiding further inappropriate disruptions, they should get the staff involved from the get-go.

AITA for asking someone to stop filming at a restaurant?
