Influencer Filming Livestream In Park Asks Man To Move Off Bench But He Refuses

One influencer encountered a pretty odd situation after attempting to stream a Livestream in a public space.

The woman was surprised to see a man choose to sit on a park bench next to her as the stream continued after she had set up her tripod.

The strange debate has been hailed as the "most British argument ever" since the strange encounter.

However, it seems strange when a member of the public refuses to leave the shot despite being aware that they are being recorded for a livestream that will be viewed by a large audience.

And for one man in particular, who appeared to have no such concerns and who remained firmly seated on a park bench, this was the situation.

Everything about this situation seemed staged like it was taken from a comedy.

A man enters the shot and settles down behind the fitness influencer as the live stream is still going on and she is in the middle of telling her followers a little bit about her morning run.

The woman, obviously startled by the unlikely guest appearance, remarks to the guy right away: "Excuse me. I'm just filming, are you alright to go to another park bench?"

The man merely replied, "And?" in a concise way.

She started to ask him to move once more, but he responded by telling her to relocate the camera.

After a good few awkward exchanges, the man began to say some - quite honestly - hilarious one-liners. They are so funny that they almost feel scripted.

"You're going to be online now for everyone to see you," the influencer explained.

The guy answered, totally unconcerned by the situation: "I don't care at all."

"Look, if you don't like the answer, don't ask the question," he went on.

Both parties continued to argue, obviously showing no signs of giving up.

"My followers, I know, will not want to see you," she explains.

The man then hits back with: "Your followers? Oh so are you Jesus now?"

The strange encounter, which has received over 21,400,000 views on Twitter, has since sparked a heated discussion about who was right and wrong in the incident.

Many people sided with the park bench user and pointed out that the influencer wasn't 'asking' but rather 'expecting' that he relocate.

One Twitter user wrote: "Asking may result in a yes or no. He politely said no and she wouldn’t accept that. Cheers to the man for teaching her a lesson."

"If anything," a second revealed, "I want to see more videos of him interrupting people’s videos."

Others, however, chose to support the influencer.

"He didn't have to be so rude about it, she was being polite," one noted.

A second added: "Man, I do kinda feel bad for that kid having to endure a mental joust with some dude."

Some even believed that both sides were to blame.

"Both are in the wrong; dude is being a d*** for no reason, a lady is forgetting she’s recording videos in a public space, both could be nicer and compromising, bad vibes for everyone involved," stated one very diplomatic Twitter user.

Another went as far as to call the odd encounter the 'most British argument ever'.

The argument continued, with some contending that the odd set-up was entirely staged.

The footage was 'most likely' staged, according to one commenter.

Another person had doubts about the truth of the exchange and posed the following questions: "Who brings a tripod on a morning run?"
