Woman captured on Google Maps says camera 'did me dirty and got me on lazy day'

A woman from Dublin has said she was "done dirty" by Google Maps Street View, when they captured a picture of her on a "lazy day".

Amanda Byrne was wearing a matching lilac tracksuit bottoms and hoodie outside her home one day, while carrying a takeaway, when the photo was taken.

The Google Maps Street View car passed by and took a photo without her knowing, which later ended up on the platform.

Amanda's brother found the photo on Street View and sent it to her, which was a surprise. Speaking to Dublin Live, Amanda said: "My brother sent me the screenshots and was like 'you're famous'."

"When I first saw them I didn't realise they were from Google Maps. I thought I had a stalker outside my my house taking photos of me."

When she worked out that it was from the Google Maps Street View car, she found the photo quite funny.

"Google Maps did me dirty. It genuinely looks like I'm off trick or treating," Amanda joked.

Her friends also found the photo "hilarious" and appreciated how "real" it looked.

Amanda's friend told Dublin Live: "This could only happen to her. It's hilarious and she's representing all the girls out there. She's in her comfy clothes, getting some takeaway and having a bit of a lazy day."

"She's real and she's showing all the girls on Google Maps that it's okay to give yourself a bit of TLC. Truly inspiring."

Amanda was also wearing fluffy sliders outside, and looked very snug and warm in the Google Maps photo.
