Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
I participated in a vintage train excursion. At several points in the journey, the engineer stopped the train so that people could disembark to take photos and videos.
Miss Manners should know that these bros had not asked for quiet before the filming began. The unfairly chastened passengers didn’t say anything. I looked their way and rolled my eyes in sympathy.: Who exactly are the fools? The people pretending that a public place is their film set, or the ones innocently trying to enjoy the experience for which they paid?
But in reality, these extras were not getting paid, nor benefiting from product endorsement deals, which means the would-be cinematographers should be considerate of them -- not the other way around.Your sympathy was warranted. And the unfairly chastened pair could have reasonably said, “We weren’t aware that we were on a sound stage.”: I co-hosted a small luncheon with a few retired girlfriends. The other hostess, Doris, made the entree, and I took care of the appetizers and desserts.
