Well i have to say so far i have had about 3 people take a picture on there mobile phone of me, i find this rude and lost my temper once told the girl she was being a idiot, does this happen a lot to people, i try not to get worked up by this but hell i would never dream of doing this to someone.
I think I had it happen to me once so far. I was in a store and I heard a camera shutter sound. I turned and there was this guy with his phone tilted sideways but pointed at me.
It was a creepy feeling. I was so shocked I didn't even react.
:( Sorry to hear - people can be real jerks sometimes. Even unsubtle ones! As you said its rude, not to mention pathetic and demeaning. When such incidents happen to me, a quote by William Blake from my high school springs into my brain and it seems quite appropriate
"The minds of the weak are not ready for it, for they shall mock and dance like the ignorant sheep they are"
At the end of the day, these people are getting their amusement from the way someone else looks and thats pathetic in my honest opinion
Thank you for the replys, your words have helped :)
