Three people approaching one person, interrogating them, demanding stuff and threatening the police and Eleanor feels harrassed. Well done Eleanor. The experience of 15 years in customer / client facing roles, dealing with all manner of people, has done you proud there...
The only way to stop people acting in an entitled manner is to first call them out on it, and second let the world see them for what they are. So FP keep up the good work
6:18 'We develop computer games in that building which are confidential.' Yeah and I shit in my bathroom. That's also confidential. It's the reason I do it behind closed doors.
"Where did we go wrong"? Over a long time when people said "I don't like that", people just stopped doing it. This has led us into a position of many people believing that everyone must do as they say. I'm glad now that the tide is turning. Thank you for turning it.
Now I’m older in my 50s with a taller broader physique than most my age ,I go about my daily business, wait at the station for a train,walk to the store (whatever)and the paranoia vibe I see and feel from the public around me just by my presence is just palpable. Yesterday two incidents , 1: A little un ran around a corner smacked into my shins got knocked over and the mother went mental like I’m the problem! 2: Stood at least 6 ft between a physical wobbly loud foul mouth lewd.druggie and a young teen girl receiving those “advances”,on the tram (as the right thing to do) and the police targeted me ? Just goes to show the point you made about the selective doctrines of feelings enforcement ,reactions with zero responsibility or accountability and suspicions. At a hospital today, pushed aside by a rude condescending individual who then after a short walk fell down the steps. Just walked ,enough is enough with these entitled scummy people.
The way you articulate your position and point out how ludicrous the way they react is always top notch FP. Love the way you introduce the piece and give the video context. Hope to see more from you in the near future.
Aboustley brilliant and your play out song struck a cord with me a song from 1973 nearly 50 years later and so relevant in this day and age depressing in some ways but sad oh for the seventies and eighties xxx
They are used to giving orders, and having those orders obeyed without question. This is fine in their office, but outside of the office they are nobodies with no authority over anyone.
Entitled Karen & her sidekick well & truly doing the Walk of Shame!! FP at his articulate best putting these random people in their place. Love the closing music ( Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads ? ) Absolutely brilliant.
Without trying to sound like a stuck record Mr focus, absolutely excellent ! There are auditors out there, some fair, some good, even some superb. And then there is Focus Pocus, totally unique in terms of quality. 👍
Completely agree. Focus has everything well balanced. The presentation is top class, the music is excellent, the wit second to none and the points he gets across on each video are clear and precise. There's no attempt at confrontation and not a hint of aggression. I really look forward to these marvellous pieces of work. long may they continue.
Ironically, they approached you, in a group, in a confrontational manner and they are the ones who feel "harassed"? They quite literally came out mob handed demanding to know what you were doing, on a public highway. I think your description of entitlement is absolutely spot on. Jokers.
I think that managerial types take the subordinate nature of their employees for granted and it feeds the sense of entitlement that sometimes spills out when dealing with people who aren't on the payroll.
Harassment starts when someone says please leave our site and don't film us, and you continue doing it regardless and even argue with them. That's harassment.
@@paullangton-rogers2390 But irrelevant here as he never entered their site, so he's in public, so Graham was correct. I gather your autism isn't the type that helps you see clearly on the issue of right and wrong.
Absolutely speechless Focus by the attitudes of Mr & Mrs Richard Head. Who the heck are they to tell you what you can and can’t photograph from a public place. In a way I’m glad it was you and not someone else, you have a certain air and grace of how you speak with authority and thorough knowledge to these type of idiots. Your videos may be few and far between, but by heck they’re top drawer. Number one auditor out there, keep up the great work and the great sounds 👍👏👏👏
Software Developer here. So many things wrong with this interaction: 1. If they have made it possible for a member of the public to film source code on a monitor through one of their windows, than that's on them. They have a duty to protect their intellectual property. If you can film it from a public place, then they have failed to take appropriate action to protect their intellectual property. 2. The Karen claimed that it is the same as standing outside her house filming into her windows. Actually, it's not the same, e.g., her house is residential property, filming into her windows could come under voyeurism laws. However, the office building comes under commercial property laws. 3. The Karen claimed it was a form of harassment to stand outside the office filming. Actually, it's not. Harassment (section 5 of the public order act) is presupposed on threatening or abusive behaviour. The fact the ACPO and NPCC have issued guidelines to every force in the land advising that it is lawful to film anything and anyone that can be seen from a public place negates this claim. 4. They threatened to call the Police. I ask what crime would they report? A man with a camera exercising the right to engage in lawful activity in a public place. It is a criminal offence to make a false report to the Police, I believe it carries up to 6 months in prison. 5. The company had an opportunity to get some great free publicity. Instead, they acted like tyrannical bullies who believe they have a right to go out into a public place and give unlawful orders to members of the public, along with threats of calling the Police for refusing to comply with those unlawful orders. I'm a gamer, but i'll never buy any of their games for this reason.
YOU ARE THE BEST FOCUS POCUS. How dare these people tell someone what to do in public. The public should have redress in the form of POLICE NON CRIME ORDERS which the police readily use. But the police won't because they are biased in favour of corporations!! PEOPLE MISUSE THE WORD "DISTRESS" THE LAW CLEARLY STATES THAT A PHYSICAL OR VERBAL ACT HAS TO OCURE. TAKING PHOTOS ALONE DOES NOT QUALIFY.
Mr angry barking out his orders and Karen playing the harassment martyr both showed themselves to be the entitled picks that they actually are, Mr angry was realy cruising for a bruising and with his attitude he will surely get one, I and most subscribers appreciate all the work and time that goes into these posts, Stay safe my friend. 👍
They really believe they are enticed to another man or woman what to do. Another great sound track by the way. Evokes many memories of the people we use to be.
Well made! The sad thing about claiming harassment, typically by a female instigator trying to lure out some protection for her maybe later paying, is the Police loves such cases. Easy prey, no danger, get to strut egos and so on. These people cannot think rationally, and it doesn’t seem to embarrass them the slightest to lie about some way the feel, on a totally useless measure. Keep up your good work!
Yes, she clearly doesn’t understand what harassment actually is. It’s just her go-to. Ironically, the ‘harassers’ are those approaching FP, imposing their false sense of authority onto his rights. He didn’t solicit their attention or stop them from leaving - quite the opposite in fact.
It’s not just now, I had a camcorder and camera back in the 90s and I had to deal with similar people. I think you handled the situation with great diplomacy. I am glad you called him out on his choice of words, all language designed to escalate their argument. Superb drone shots at the beginning, beautiful and revealing. People and companies try to hide all sorts behind fences. It is a pleasure to discover your channel again. Please keep on auditing, and thank you to all the others doing the same. 👍
It's quite menacing and harassing to stalk up to a person with your group of three and demand he answer your questions and, even more audaciously, demand he leave a public area or stop doing perfectly lawful things in that area. It's not at all surprising that bullies like that feel they are the ones being harassed. Like the people who cut you off in traffic then act offended when you sound the horn at them. Massive sense of unchecked entitlement.
I know a guy who works for a company that develops games. The shit they do, non disclosure agreements, spying on each other etc. one story was a group of employees went out to the pub for lunch and a guy was recording their conversation to try gain info about the game they were working on. Saying all that though, if a person can gain info while taking photos from a public footpath they have only themselves to blame
I used to be an obsessed photographer, i had a darkroom and 3 enlargers and several different format cameras, it was an amazing hobby, and I never had any issues in public, in fact most of my shots were in public, taking images of people in a candid manner, I also dabbled in night photography, I managed to come 2nd in the amateur photographer of the year in 1995, then I got a computer and my hobby switched to computing, one decade later I jumped on youtube with a phone camera N80! but eventually got enough money from youtube revenue from a anti TV license video and got a canon 600D in about 2012, so in the last 5 years, or there abouts photography seems to have turned 180 on the user, as correctly pointed out, we used to jump in to have a photo taken, and way back when photography was first introduced, many people would stand around looking at the photographer wondering what the hell he was doing, all as an interest and not taken as hostile. More people have cameras these days (than eer before) on phones and such, so what the hell happened that seems like over night the attitude in photography? Perhaps as cameras are used to catch people out these days, CCTV, and on the roads especially! perhaps an attitude of hate has been manifested and as such people sub consciously react to cameras in a hostile way due to the conditioning of one of the main ways photography is used these days, to catch people out!
They were so full of their own self importance , so up themselves and then they approached FP, and that was when they knew they'd fucked up. The walk of shame followed. Loved that old tune at the end ' Whatever happened to the Likely lads. 🤣🤣
What a load of Codswallop, the feeling of self importance is incredible. And for a woman with 15 years of Customer Facing experience to act like a spoilt child is shameful. Keep up the great work FP, as you say those kind of people are becoming more and more prevalent in our sad society.
Another couple of self-righteous clowns. You can tell they're senior management by their holier than thou attitude. It took one of the workers to show them how to have a civil conversation with someone. What's alarming is that woman boasts on her profile as having 15 years experience in a customer facing role! Well I didn't see any evidence of that in this interaction 😂
absolutely fantastic as usual , the clarity of your diction and skill manoeuvring around pathetic arguments of harassment etc is simply second to non , brilliant stills and skills
Genuinely, the intro photo montage has some really nice stuff - I’m imagining some of the architects/landscapers had some of those in mind while drawing up, just no-one normally sees them outside of the plans - great framing, colours etc. as well
Lets not beat around the bush, those two must be vile to work with. Their arrogant, egotistical sense of entitlement was off the chart. The cap nerdy guy was decent.
Yes,he had the sense,in the beginning,to keep his gob shut, and observe,and make a judgement that FP's actions weren't sinister( or illegal) So well done to him, ----- gob shut,brain engaged.
I must say I have just stumbled on your channel by some people mentioning you in the comments section of blackbeltbarrister new video, and what an amazing channel. I hope you keep doing what your doing as you seem like the best at it! 👍
When he said "do you know what we do here?" I was expecting it to be a nuclear power plant or a military site packed with explosives or something. "We make computer games" LMAO, well done pal jog on.
He was very full of his own importance wasn't he, jog on back into your little office in your imaginary world where you are brave knight defending the honour of all those Karen damsels at risk of harassment by people with a camera.
@Paul Price depends, flying drones is usually restricted. And could get you in trouble around nuke plants and bases, but if it’s visible from public roads then take all the pics you want
Great start with Benny Hill, then a brilliant introductory talk, then encounters which were 50% hilarious because the idiotic things said to you, and 50% infuriating because of the entitled arrogance and sheer stupidity of these people. And then Highly Likely's so so appropriate song - very poignant in today's suspicious society which you describe. Thank you for your usual articulacy and overall excellence.
Focus Pocus take Auditing ,Photography, knowledge, wit and common sense to another level. As you said, auditing needs to be an ongoing thing….and you’re the best out there. Keep up the great quality, entertaining work 👍🏻
He seemed confused on what a camera does. You were never lost for them to find you. If they are so worried then they should install blinds, frosted glass or brick in their windows. The best part had to be when Karen opened her trap and claimed harassment. 🤣Karen's are always funny!
Especially if they had journalists trying to look through the windows. You'd have thought they would learn to block off the windows. Us programmers do like to work in the windowless offices - less distractions. 😅😅
When I see the number 1 on the bell 🔔 on RU-vid and I click and see it’s focus pocus. It makes my whole week love this guys stuff absolute legend the best there is
Where did it all go wrong? Well if you think we have cops who can't get their heads round the basics of public photography what hope is there for members of the public?
It must be a real poor quality building if a guy outside with a camera can see everything that goes on inside it! These people really are dim if they think you can see what's on their computer by standing over the road with a camera. Do they not understand how ridiculous that sounds?
They don't possess common sense, and are overly paranoid. Maybe the main guy doing the talking needs to hand his laptop into the nearest police station pronto, sounds like he's got a lot to hide.
Yes, they say things like 'what are you taking photos of', while looking at the same scene as the photographer. They are either trying to be thick, or as I suspect, actually thick.
Yeah she's right it is harassment, three people coming out to confront a law abiding member of the public, telling them they should "remove themselves from the area", implying you are doing something wrong by filming their building, etc. Astonishing. You just KNOW she's the Karen who started and instigated it all.
Harassment I think it was the other way around. you handled the situation brilliantly without making them cry. It’s amazing when people don’t get what they won’t they feel harassed alarmed and distressed which all started by feeling police.
Great video. The composition, the music, the schooling of the entitled numpties. Well done. I now feel compelled to go watch a few episodes of Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads for some reason!! Welcome back!
Yes, so true that Auditing is not a fad - I could never tolerate the conveyor belt of ****** telling me what to do because, well, they asked nicely. Respect to you for staying calm and composed. And you totally stumped them 😆
What a PR backfire for the company. As an avid gamer and community member on various gaming forums I'm sharing this wide and far. The gaming community is very interested on what happens behind the scenes at a developer. I have a feeling this is going to backfire on them. Bravo fp.
For sure avid gamers as well here if they are so private why are most the blinds up as well. They also put out ads for future games and get paid a lot when it’s on there terms of course I’m also a tester on several gaming platforms before games are released so know a thing or two on privacy for those and even they allow some to record once the games almost released it’s good publicity for them.
As always you shot them down,they should be ashamed of the way they think they have the right to tell you to move on. Pmsl. Fantastic photography and love the benny hill song and the theme to the likely lad’s. Please do more audit’s. This one was such a long time coming.
Outstanding,as always. The best auditor by some distance,and the only person who I subscribe to that I immediately watch as soon as it is uploaded,very well made,informative,and I love your interactions,love the opening song too,it sounded like Benny Hill I’ll have to check that out. Thankyou Focus Pocus you are brilliant at what you do,please keep doing it. Pete.
FP absolutely Brilliant! We need more! When you were talking to the Programmer and Darren & Karen were listening in the background, you mentioned to him about how the sensor on the drone was excellent, you should of slipped in how good the "Xray feature" was and watched their faces drop 😄
WELL!!,... Thats set me up for the week! Massive dose of sanity, in a world of craziness! Loved the music, photography, and your usual, exceptional wit! Fantastic. Please do more! Always worth the wait! Pure class! 👌 💯 👊
When I saw your videos 3 years ago I was amazed for your editing. You still have amazing film production skills. Don't forget the music at beggining that matches the moment
I really admire the casual confident way you are able to deal with these people. I think they expect to intimate you or hope you are ignorant and give up your lawful right. Good on you. That aside the photography on its own was worth the watch,thanks for that
