Liquor Store Incident

A few days ago when I was out trying to get some good street shots, I walked down this one block that was partially closed off for construction.  There was a liquor store down this particular block and a guy just standing outside the store.  I was already weary because as I stated when I posted this on my Flickr page, I don't have anything against people who go to liquor stores.  However, when you hang out at the liquor store, and in the daytime no less, you've got some problems.

As soon as the guy spots me and my camera, he starts with the stupid remarks.  "Oh, yeah.  Paparazzi.  Paparazzi."  I ignore him and keep walking.  As I pass him, he says to my back "I love you.".  That does it.  Few things in this world piss me off more than douchebags who insist on "giving compliments" and flirting like sleazeballs.  I turn around and say "Excuse me?"  He says "What?  I was talking to her" pointing to a woman who just happened to walk by.  "Why would I talk to you?  You're ugly."  (Yeah, I'm heartbroken that some drunk loser thinks I'm ugly.)  I aim my camera at him, and he does the following gestures.  I made a collage, complete with a full on face shot of the douche.





































In between flipping the bird, he kept saying "Put this on Facebook!  Put this on Facebook!".  Thank you.  I did.  My only regret is that I wasn't able to get a video.  The sidewalk was narrow on account of half of it being blocked off and I didn't want to be the jerk who was preventing people from being able to get by.
