Dublin girl ‘done dirty’ as Google Maps Street View captures her during ultimate lazy day

A Dublin girl claims to have been “done dirty” by Google Maps Street View.

Amanda Byrne was casually rocking the matching tracksuit and fluffy jammies outside her North Dublin home.

She was minding her own business with her takeaway in her hand, only for the Google Maps Street View car to take a photo of her without her knowing.

Many moons later, Amanda’s brother found the picture on the popular app and the Cabra local was surprised to say the least.

She told Dublin Live: “My brother sent me the screenshots and was like you’re famous.

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

But Ms Byrne did see the funny side of it, she joked: “Google Maps did me dirty. It genuinely looks like I’m off trick or treating.”

A pal of Amanda’s said: “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.”
