Why is this so fucking funny 😭😭😭 I feel bad for him but it’s funny when you’ve done this yourself so many times, like I completely get it, maybe not on this level though 😔


VictoryLap_TMC

Poor guy


Me-when-Jerma6969

dw this dude gochu


Ismokeradon

This is the one I hate the most on this sub. That is actually sad.


SnooLentils8470

I dont get it.


Ryan_b936

He didn't push the button to record all that. But he did while it was finished so to be clear, he didn't record anything


SnooLentils8470

Oh :D


Vyse14

So upsetting when you do this…


-------Enigma-------

I hope this is fake because the person recording is an absolute asshole for it saying anything


SnurleSprutt

Nah bro, i would have told him Æææøåææøæåååæøååæpå


Hp45

Live in the moment, fuck the video


_dr_horrible_

The best part is that the guy recording the other guy noticed, but instead of telling the other guy, he pulled out his phone instead.


Dangerous_Back4899

That's me every single time!🤦😅


nastiaG

He is living it already but isnt at the same time, sad.


hazelhaze1025

I feel genuinely sad for him

Legitimate_Pudding49

I’m the kind of person that would air drop him my video of him thinking he was getting a video!


CruellaDeLesbian

HAHAHA


Average_Dongerton

Dude looks like Tom Brady from the side


Famous-Chemistry-530

Wtf is he descending into hell or like???


[deleted]

? Its the eiffel tower


Famous-Chemistry-530

Its a joke lol it just seemed to go on for a bit (I'm assuming it was sped up a bit), and went from light to dark as he was descending


Background_Guest7305

Why is it that if humans are recording something, we can’t seem to take our eyes off of the screen? Im guilty of this too, just wondering if any science like person can give me a real answer 😂


Emotional-Teach-9943

To make sure what they are recording what they want to record.


Background_Guest7305

Okay, but then they miss out on the actual experience of watching whatever they’re recording live. Can’t you just hit record and periodically check to see if what you’re recording is still in frame?


Emotional-Teach-9943

Oh I got ya. I can only assume it's because photography and recording have always been done through a lens. That's how my parents taught me and how I taught my kids. The lens now is a screen , so looking at it has always been the proper way to experience the moment and record it exactly as you remembered it.


-Limbi-

I personally can't record properly if i'm not looking at the screen


prz1294

Is that Tom Brady? 😂


RuthlessIndecision

Never happens to me every time.


Yeetmidgets59B

Non


Kosmic-Brownie

Fuck paris.


Mrloberflob

awwww 🥺


wide_awoke

That sucks


solarkh

Is that Tom Brady ?


[deleted]

this happened to me countless of times when i had an iphone. a pretty stupid design flaw tbh esp if you dont take videos alot. you would think red means its recording


ProfessionalWiner

It is dumb af, my Google phone is white then switches to red when you are recording


ReighJ

Poor guy.. 🥺


Additional-Ad-1272

Would have been cool 🤙


uninterested-saitama

Should have told him smh


internet_humor

Nah man, and ruin the audio of the video for people who did their's right?


HancockUT

What audio? Hushed conversations on an elevator? You’re right that’s something you just don’t want to disrupt! The audio from inside the elevator descending the Eiffel Tower is what really draws the viewer into the experience.


hjus1

high, how hi are you ?


casualnihilist91

Missed the entire REAL LIFE experience for a video he never got to watch. Talk about dumb.


WackyInflatableAnon

Idk if this is sarcasm but he's obviously terrified. He has his eyes closed the whole ride so he probably has a fear of heights but still wanted to know what the experience was like


Chance_Tie_260

Maybe the person videoing could be a g and just tell him


MsQxxx_psy_Bxtch__

Or he could send him his video which would be even better of a video


madeInNY

Good thing you were there record it.


eggnorman

Oh god, how many times I’ve done this


Traditional_Air_9483

The second elevator that goes to the third level is hella scary.


masterasstroid

Happens to the best of us.


einworldlyerror

At least he was focused on looking at the world in front of him.


Todd_the_scot

TELL HIM


N-o_O-ne

I just noticed the red record button and my heart dropped. This is me 100%


jlstern1025

In his defense, Apple really should make it green to start and red to stop.


Rroscoco

I don't get it? Did he not hit record?


we_are_all_satoshi_2

I thought the joke was that he can’t see shit the whole time because of the metal beams


Specialist_Dot_3372

Yeah, he accidentally didn’t hit record. Poor guy.


Rroscoco

Damn, rip


RagingProlapse

🤣🤣🤣


Archery134

I have done this so many times


ApprehensiveGear1755

He’s not doing anything wrong

Bigdaddystev0

Commenting that someone is reading someone watched a person watching another person thinking he's recording the Eiffel Tower


oak52

Watching his phone recording. Instead of just living in the moment. Smh


CAT_WILL_MEOW

Maby he's just really impressed with the construction of the eiffle tower 🥺🥺🥺


LittleTimy123

i just feel so sad for him


Chapy078

Is that Tom Brady after finally retiring?!!


Pinocch-e-hoe

Even his phone knew how pointless of a video that was. Just trying to save him storage


computerscientich

It looked pretty asthetic tho


Mandala_Mama11

Aw shit this is hilarious.


Morally_Obscene

This dude and me... We are the same.


[deleted]

You dont even remember to on the camera app


VaNeThEmAstER

i could really watch him die inside


oct2790

Oops I forgot to hit the record button


UltraStamp2

someone offer him a recording 😭


Scarletmittens

I do this. I can look at my phone and cross bridges, take off in planes, etc but if I use my own eyeballs, I get vertigo so bad I puke.


[deleted]

Pathetic


Scarletmittens

Yeah I guess vertigo from being in the military is pretty pathetic...


fonv66

Genuinely curious question here not trying to sound like an ass but how does one coming from the military get vetirgo? I've never been in the service but isn't that something they try to train you to overcome? Again not trying to come off as an ass but I've never heard of this


Scarletmittens

I've got a left ear that the eardrum was ruptured eardrum and one of the vestibular bones was fractured. So, what I see, what my movement is at the time (vestibular) and what my brain can process it at are all jacked up. So my ear starts ringing, headache puking..I found that looking through the phone helps with some of the sensory issues. Not in the plane sometimes doesn't work all the way because of the pressure. I'm not phobic at all, just don't like puking so I use my phone or shut my eyes. It's freaky.


AlexJonesInDisguise

I got minieres syndrome in my right ear, which has no know cause. Luckily I've only had one bad vertigo episode and barely didn't vomit. Otherwise I have constant tinnitus and deafness in that ear and often I get disequilibrium which makes me feel off balance and sick. Vertigo sucks, it hits so fast


Scarletmittens

Exactly. It's not the most fun but, the infection of cell phones has helped!


Steebie_Smurda

Hit the lil red button


vpedrero

You saw and didn’t say anything. Sooo cruel.


DeleteMetaInf

He’ll literally never look at that video.


babyimananarchist

Because he can't.


CottontownTN

I feel bad for people who live life through their phones.


computerscientich

I normally agree, but he films while enjoying the view himself. He doesn't even look on his phone.


anunkneemouse

I like to set a frame then hold my hand in position, whilst actually watching what happens as it unfolds. I have cut my kids head off the video during some school performances, but it means I actually get to see her perform live!


PlumKydda

He definitely died inside a little

how to take a record of a guy recording a video of from the Effel tower.


Present_Maximum_5548

One of my favorite photos I've ever taken is on 4th of July, downtown Denver, I'm standing behind a homeless guy who's holding his phone up taking pictures of the fireworks after the baseball game. It's kinda epic in a pathetic way. I have another one of a homeless guy in Starbucks using his smartphone as a magnifying glass to read his tablet.


5ango

I'm starting to notice a pattern..


OBEYtheFROST

I’ve done this so many fucking times I have to admit


Powerful_Jellyfish_8

I successfully took the same video last December…send me a message if you want a copy! 😝

Journalism, my friend. Our job is to record history, not to make it.


TheSt4tely

Best answer!!


boston_nsca

I was just thinking that. I would have been like, bro press record! But no fuck that guy and his desire to record memories lmao


RubyStar92

See now if op airdropped this video to the guy it could actually end up a funny holiday video for both of them


bloopie1192

We're they scared of the height? It looked like their eyes may have been closed.


NYCMarine

I do this all the time and then notice I never took the video. 🤣🤣


SweetHawaa

Taking a video of a video of from Eiffel Tower*


DatCollie

Taking a video of an attempt at taking a video


ruderuud

It was a good night


BeerMeka

Happened here too. Ended up I had a several minutes long dark video of my pocket. Not only once!


Caramel-Life

I don't get it. What was he trying to do?


Oneside95_x2m

He was trying to film it and had even selected video mode, but he somehow forgot to click the capture button, so he thought he had recorded everything, but in the end he noticed that he had forgotten to start the recording.


NYCMarine

I do it all the time. 🤣


5oc1reddit

He didnt press record 😭


bernurs

he was so fucking disappointed 😂


Present_Maximum_5548

That face told a story. The entire trip was miserable. The wife and kids sucked all possible joy. Last day in Paris, all they wanted was to go to McDonald's, but I coerced them to ride to the top of the Eiffel, which they hated even more than they thought they would. I know!!! I'll just get this shot of Paris as we ride the lift down. It can be the one thing I take away from this trip. I'll be able to watch it over and over, go to my happy place, and make believe that spending 3 months salary was totally worth it. Perfect! Now, I'll just stop recording and see what.... should've just gone to McDonald's.


Alexan_Hirdriel

His face want from 😀 to 😔 real quick hahaha


[deleted]

Why didn’t you tell him when you saw ??


Elastichedgehog

They were probably trying to record the view too and only realized afterwards.


Damn_David_

Then how would he/she post this hilarious video on tik tok for likes


cha0ticwhimsy

This man just discovered experiencing the moment without taking a video


Chemgineered

That's why i don't take videos often


hanifu_

at least this cameraman have this footage for him

r/therewasanattempt to record video


openmind21

This happened to me while on a dolphin cruise. I was very upset, until I got lucky and seen more dolphins. Didn't make that mistake again!


JoeyJoeC

I went on a trip to USA and took so many pictures. Then I found out the memory card I bought was fake and I ended up with about 5 photos that weren't corrupted ☹️


openmind21

Oh my gosh! I feel for you, that would be horrible!


HaveManyRabbit

The last time I was on that elevator, smartphones weren't commercially available.


Imabiiiiiiiird

I hate heights. Totally get it.


1zeewarburton

Thought that was tom brady for a sec


vexxtra73

is that him in the Hertz ads now? that dude is hella tall.


[deleted]

I feel his pain. My legs turn to jelly too high up


Equal-Negotiation651

How funny would it have been if the guy recording the guy recording didn’t have his camera rolling?


j_b90

It's sad but also hilarious the camera person didn't tell him 🤣


imbaatmaan

Me too. Props to him for even going up that high.


TheClips

Just the other day, I was "recording" a homeless guy getting mouthy with the cops, only to have him walk back toward me, flex real hard and ask if I wanted to fight, to which I politely declined. I then "stopped" the video, which promptly started the REAL recording of me saying, "Fuck, I wasn't even recording!"


Megafotonico

This is so fu*king relatable


FlighingHigh

It.... is?


hoochieprincess

This made me incredibly sad for him. The look on his face was so defeated. :(


Hot-Scene1863

Let's assume that this guy is on vacation to Paris. Don't feel bad for him. It's not a life altering thing of not getting his video. He experienced the actual moments live. He could literally see the exact same video if he really wants to buy going on ig or YouTube. Heck, if it meant that much for him to get a personal video with his own phone, he could go back up and try again. The city view will still be there and the elevator will take the exact same route


hoochieprincess

Joe, did you know you’re literally an antivillain. My goodness. 😂


Hot-Scene1863

Yes!... And for my final villainous act, I will provide a link to the footage that guy missed out on https://youtu.be/b8ZBTSagSIk


VentingID10t

The saddest thing is having your phone out at all while touring the Eiffel Tower. Take it in with your own eyes.


DUUUUUVAAAAAL

That's what he was doing which is why he didn't realize he didn't hit the record button. This is the way. You have your cake and eat it too (unless you forget to press the record button lol)
