Called out for Photo Taking - Story for Why?

I was doing a shop today and a customer called me out for taking a photo of another customer (she thought). I needed to take the photo quickly due to time and the other customer was in the way. I wondered if you all have some canned stories you have at the ready in case this happens. LATER, I thought I could have said I was playing with my new phone while waiting in line..??

I take photos of advertising in stores to send my daughter. I have offered to show my phone to anyone who is concerned about what I captured. I also take photos of food I order because my daughter & I are on a dare this week about what we are each eating.
My son is a Google local guide. He takes pictures everywhere he goes and posts them on google. It gives the businesses good advertising. And it gives him an excuse to take pictures when he's supposed to be covert.

And when I'm doing gas audits if they make a fuss, I tell them, I gave you a chance to get out of the picture, but you chose to step in front of the camera anyway. I am standing here in a traffic safety vest and obviously taking pictures. If you don't want your picture taken, maybe you should have some kind of spacial awareness or pay attention to your surroundings.

I avoid taking pictures of people, and especially their faces as often as I can, but I can't be responsible for folks from the planet oblivion.

I've had people jump in front of me while taking pictures, wanting their picture taken and smiling big. I've even had people strike a pose and tell me to take their picture. But I've never had pushback.
