Mine is during the photo taking and this has happened any number of times....
I'll set up my tripod to take a shot of some obvious landmark/view - like last time was waiting for the setting sun to shine through the lightbox of the lighthouse at Peggy's Cove. I'll politely wait while any people right in front of me clear out - it's a public spot and they have every right to be there. Someone will come up and look at my setup, look at my gear, see what shot I'm waiting for, realize it's a good shot and then WALK RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME to take it themselves. Always with a cell phone. Always with a girlfriend. Always nine different poses.
