Great story. Jackass. :lol8: :lol8: :lol8:

Quote: This guy was on the corner of Stockton and Columbus in San Francisco yelling at a homeless man. Anger, conflict, drama — sounds like a great shot to me. I crossed the street but was unable to get anything interesting, since I only had my 50mm lens on the camera and I was just too far away.

However, Mr. Angry Overreaction Man decided that he now had a problem with me. He confronted me, demanding my camera. Of course, I refused. He got in my face and started threatening me, telling me that I cannot take his photo without his permission. I told him that yes, in fact, I can. He then walked up and bumped into me, trying to act tough. I told him that one more touch and I would call the police.

Of course, he didn’t like that very much, and at that point told me that if I put his picture on the internet, he would call his laywer. I assured him that his photo would be on the internet, and he then walked up and grabbed my camera lens. Well, that’s just not something that I will put up with, so I pulled the camera away from him and reached for my phone and started dialing. Once he saw that he turned away, still yelling threats, and continued on his way.

I felt bad for his daughter, who was with him, because she was obviously embarrassed by his antics and kept pleading with him to stop. I have a great shot showing her looking up as if saying “Oh boy, here he goes again”. But I’m not going to post that one, as she was not acting like an idiot and I don’t want to embarrass her. Mr. Angry Overreaction Man seems to do enough of that.

So, Mr. Angry Overreaction Man, your photo is now on the internet. Call your lawyer. Tell him somebody on a public sidewalk took your photo while you were on a public sidewalk. Then tell him you physically assaulted the photographer. See what he says.

Great story.


I saw this on DIGG earlier but there was so much traffic that it had the site shut down when I checked on it. Reading the story makes more sense.

Note the Bluetooth device. Sure sign of a self-important dickhead.

Sweet. I work in customer service for a mail order company and people love to say "I'll call my lawyer." over our shipping charge ($5). Right if you bitch about $5 you don't have a lawyer. Sorry pal that threat was old in 1912.

This guy has tool written all over him. In San Fran no less sheesh..

See that ring on his finger? 100% chance he is married to a vacuous trophy wife. They can't stand each other.

Vacuous is an excellent word choice!

The greaser hair-do belies a wannabe mobster. A phony Vinny if you will. A career real estate agent. Drives a 'vette. All this, of course, trying to forget the horrible things Father Flannagan did to him in an all-boy Catholic school back east.

Distant self-absorbed mother, father who beat him...

Then there's that uncle, the one who made Fourth of July picnics a source of horrible lurid memories.

Sheesh. Now I feel sorry for this guy.

I think there's another story to this picture

[scoutabout]

This reminds of an experience I had a few weeks ago. I walked into a Fedex-Kinkos in Palm Beach, Florida. I was on the phone talking some bidness. I walked to the back and sat down in the laptop section between two other people. After about a minute, the guy to my left started telling me that this was supposed to be a "library environment" to which I responded that he's mistaken. Then he tells me to move my phone to my other ear so I can't take pictures of him with my camera phone. I let him know what I thought of his fragile mental state.

Polite people use their cell phones outside or away from others.

I couldn't help but wonder what he was yelling at the homeless man for. Any idea?

Ha! I hate to admit it, but Rev Coyote has this guy nailed!
He and the trophy wife deserve each other. I'm sure he gave her herpes too. :roflol:
