Technical term from the photography field. A
Comp Stomp occurs when a person'
s artistic sense and visualization causes them to....well, completely copy your photo composition by lining up so close to you that you can feel their body heat and sense a complete violation of
human space.
Extra points go to motivated
Comp Stompers who practically dry hump you while taking a photo, massage your
leg with their tripod, and cause condensation on the back of your neck from them breathing so close to you.
Hall of Fame
Comp Stompers
will act completely baffled when you protest that they are just a little too close to you for comfort, then inch their equipment a couple inches closer when you are not looking. Photoshop workshop groups are filled with Hall of Fame Comp Stompers.
Of course, a Comp Stomper could go find their own photo location, but why not just copy somebody who is better, or appears to have nicer equipment?
"I can't stand going out to shoot with Tim, all he does is Comp Stomp me after I decide what to shoot."
"
Bob is the worst Comp Stomper I have ever seen, his tripod was way too
happy to see me."
"Did you see that huge photo workshop Comp Stomping me? I got here 2 hours for sunrise, and all they want to do is
crush me because they can't find their own place to shoot."
