It doesn't matter that you don't think it is. You weren't there, she was, and she was startled.

If you're taking exception to the word "terrorizing", it could just be a translation thing.

    Being startled is a long way from being terrorized. While it may be a translation thing, it's more likely this was a clickbairt title. "Woman was Startled by a Robot Waiting Patiently Behind Her" just doesn't have the same punch.

    "Old Woman Overreacts" could be another title.

    Me. I help out at a local village social club full of old women and, oh yes, do they love you overreact and complain about everything. Everything!!
    "Did you hear about that fire that happened down the road? It made a right smell, it did. It was caused by a tumble dryer, you know. Back in my day it wouldn't have happened, we didn't use dryers. We used our hands and hung things the line, that's the proper way to dry clothes. Kids these days always trying to do things wrong.
    And did you hear about Glasgow train station catching fire? A vape store caused it. It wouldn't have happened back in my day we didn't use vapes, we smoked. Kids these days always wanting to yada yada blah blah moan moan blah.."
