When you’re prepping up for a nice picture with your villager who’s sitting somewhere and they just up and leave just before you take the picture:

Ain’t it the absolute worst, though?

 

[Balverine]

I hate this lol
I was tryna get a picture of my rep with Julia sitting in her garden, but every time I tried to take the picture, she got up and started sweeping

 

[Bluebellie]

Aww I hate this. I’ve been trying to get a certain villager to sit in a particular spot, and whenever I actually do see him there, I bring the canera out, only to have them stand up. They do this on purpose.

This happens when I try to take of picture of Raymond doing anything and then tangy comes and sits where he is I already have enough pictures of you lol

 

[Matt0106]

What I hate is when I find a cool villager on an island hunt, and when I leave them I like to take a picture as a keep sake, but whenever they're around a rock, they keep heading to the opposite side of the rock.

Like okay, they do be rude though.

Also when you sit next to them and they immediately stand up. It's like, I see how it is

 

[Aurita]

Also when you sit next to them and they immediately stand up. It's like, I see how it is

Omg the heartbreak they hate sitting next to the players

 

[dino]

i'm actually convinced there's a coded 'shyness' trait associated with camera/sitting next to villagers, in the game. ain't no randomized way SO MANY villagers do this so repeatedly

shakes fish!

 

[JellyBeans]

every. single. time!!! i just want to take cute photos

 

[Ace Marvel]

I hate that! for the fair event it took me ages for chief to sing with me lol!
They should program the game that if the villagers are doing something and you use the camera they can't stop.

 

[Dunquixote]

For me, it happens when I catch a villager without the singing hobby singing like Kiki, Lily, Punchy, Sherb, Raymond, Rudy. I get my camera out to take a picture and just when I’m about to take it, they abruptly stop singing and walk away.

 

[Shellzilla_515]

This happens about 80% of the time I attempt to take pictures with my villagers. I'm not sure if it's just an untimely coincidence but it still messes up my photos. It hurts even more when your villagers tell you that you can sit beside them and get up moments later after you do so.

 

[saucySheep]

Villagers do be poopheads from time to time...
Mine love me doe c ; Sherb and Audie were chillin together and they actually bothered to look at the camera and smile ; ' ) I caught Audie with half-closed eyes and a weird mouth but it's still cuteee xd

 

[lawnClippings]

I don't need to bring the camera phone out...
I just sit next to them and they leave.

 

[WalceDony]

I just want to hang with my villagers and they just nope out every single time.
This game is too much like real life

 

[Skandranon]

I think they are programmed to move as soon as the camera is focused on them, sure seems like it to me how they act every time i try

 

[Lynnatchii]

I hate it so much, every time I want to get a picture of Marshal, he just go bye bye

 

[hakutaku]

I'm really slow at taking photos so this is a big mood. They just love to turn around the moment the camera is at a perfect angle.

 

[RedPanda]

This happens to me all the dang time, haha! That, and I will sit down next to them and they immediately get up like I offended them.

 

[amemome]

this is a BIG mood. I also hate when they stop doing the action I wanted to take a pic of.
