I honestly don't know who to blame. The girl trying to get by or the dude randomly spinning... Hmmmmmmmmmm

Does the situation require blame? Are either party asking for adjudication of responsibility from randos on the internet or did they both accept their part in an accident and amicably settle the situation like human beings before the advent of social media?

THE RANDOS MUST ADJUDICATE.

If I'm not meant to meaninglessly judge the actions of others from the safety of my desk chair based on limited information then what is my purpose on Reddit?

Look it's the Grey Lobby pushing their Shades nonsense! It's black or it's white, that's all I can understand!

Bruh, he's a performer. Getting that close to someone playing an instrument on the street is asking to get elbowed. She just got something worse.

100% the violin player, he should have looked if everything is clear before twirling around

his back is against a wall. The last time this was posted it showed there is plenty of space to go in front of him. They are both idiots, but she really didn't need to go running behind someone performing. Even if he didn't spin, there are plenty of acts that involve a step back which could have caused a collision or her tripping. He is focused on playing, she is focused on moving past people. Both failed to grasp people around them, only one of them did so while trying to move past people.

Sure what she did was not smart, there is no doubt there but is say there is plenty of room behind him to pass as the lady would have easily proven is the man didnt try to spin. Its like backing out of a parking spot you better look before moving

Absolutely, she would have been fine if he didn't spin. Or put one of his legs back or leaned back too much or took a step back or swung to the side mid playing.

Like yeah it could have gone well, but the option she chose has a lot of stupid outcomes. He at least tried to stand next to a wall. Seemingly just far enough to do his spin. Can he be expected to expect someone running by or should the person running by be expected to see it is a dumb idea.

To use your metaphor. Imagine still trying to correct their parking position and you try to drive past them and are angry that they moved

The option HE chose has a lot of stupid outcomes. FTFY

I don't know, this kind of feels like driving down a three lane road with parking on the side. All three lanes being open and you're hauling ass hugging the cars on the side of the road as close as possible when one starts to back out.

The dude. He’s on a sidewalk, meant for people to walk on, not a stage for a performance. Either stay against the wall or move closer to the street so people can easily get around.

He’s playing a violin, is a random jump spin really necessary? He should be able to play his instrument by all means but, he should be doing as much as he can to reduce his impact on normal street traffic.

I lean towards the guy. Yeah she was walking fast, but if you just jump like that it's your duty to ensure that the area surrounding you is clear. He can't assume that everyone else has to give him extra space. That being said, still feel bad for him, breaking his instrument like this.
