Sometimes, people make the wildest assumptions based on appearances.

This man was at a campsite setting up his camera to capture the beauty of the night sky.

A stranger approached him and asked where his supervisor was.

He told her to go away, but the lady continued to insult him.

Woman thought I was doing community service

I was at a campsite waiting for the sun to set so I could take pictures of the night sky.

I wanted to include a picture with the landscape.

But there was a bit of rubbish and some dead plants.

So I began to sweep and clear the rubbish from the area I wanted to look clean for the shot.

This man was asked where his supervisor was.

Afterwards, I sat down, put on my headphones, and ate a snack.

Then, a woman came up to me and asked where my supervisor was.

I hated her tone, so I gave her a dirty look and ignored her.

She very rudely continued to ask me the same question.

He told her to go away, and she responded with an insult.

I told her to leave me alone and go away.

She walked away in anger, then turned back to say:

“I can see why you are in jail, mate.”

Then, I realized she thought I was doing community service.

The lady continued to annoy him when he was trying to take pictures of the sky.

When the sun started to set, I set up my camera gear.

She decided to move her 4WD and park where I was obviously aiming to try and block me.

When I aimed somewhere else, she would move there. I had to juke her to get my shot.

Why the hell are people so miserable?
