Keep your camera strap around your neck. That way when they grab it you can head-butt them and say it was THEIR fault. Then the only problem becomes not getting their nose blood on your camera, but hey, they won't do it again any time soon...
Hmm... come to think of it, so did I. ;o)
I'd offer up my spot to a giant dump truck too!
Well, maybe they saw you w/the camera away from your face and don't want to repeat the experience? ;-)
But Ross, you've got such a knack for explaining things in so few words....
Sans the head-butt, that's exactly what I do. I grab the camera by the lens barrel and turn it around so they can see.
A lotta cr@p
Thinking of nothing, especially, is my fortay...
"I'd horse-whip ya if I had a horse"
Yeah, on those rare occaisions between thinking of nothing, not a lot gets by me...
Nice try but possibly futile at best.. Besides, I'm still trying to figure out "It's Pants" similarly like you're tryin' to figure out "YMMV"...
No doubt...

Not really..

I'm sorry I just don't see IRL as sharply as some shots I see on the screen, with or without my glasses on & it shouldn't be possible on the screen neither, since I use the same eyes, with or without glasses, to look at the screen... Ya know what I mean???
Oh!!! I wanted it to be Yelping Monkeys Mar the Varnish!
I did know FWIW, BTW (and FWIW), and may have figured out YMMV eventually, like I did "IYKWIMAITYD" back in '89...
Someone had to. Thanks for the info.
I did this once to show how Renoir painted skin to reflect the surrounding colors. Tasteful, I thought, but that didn't mean Steve didn't needle me abpit it... so I'll reconsider next time.
)That was my intent (that's my story and I'm sticking to it).
I don't think I would have been amused, either.
IRL? I'm missing something.
I think I've pretty much decided on the NEC LCD2070NX-BK, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Wouldn't one have had to visit a porn site to be reminded of one? ;-)

Yeah! I couldn't get my d@mn finger over to that button fast enough but I did get a look at em before they were nixed... ;-}
So which aspect(s) of photography do you find annoying / irritating
? I'm not neccessarily talking about vehemently hating something -
just things which you find mildly frustrating.
I'll start off with my list of two pet hates:
1. Looking at pictures of an interesting place only to find that
the same person appears in every picture! I'm sure you're familiar
with a scenario - as soon as someone finds something they like to
photograph, a fellow travel companion feels absolutely duty-bound
to stand right in the middle of the frame, with the same grin. In
every picture!! Here is an example of what I mean:

(with apologies to the owner of the gallery)
2. Exchanging lenses. Love the advantages offered by my SLR - but
absolutely hate - (and always have done) - having to change lenses.
I can probably do something about issue number 2 (zoom with greater
focal range etc) - but as for number 1 - searching through web
galleries to find photographs of a particular place, only to be
confronted with the same face in 100 pictures is very...irritating.
I guess people do it because they feel they may never pass this way
again - so its a memory for future and you can show your loved ones
you've been there. But a few proper portraits will do that - not
standing infront of the camera of every landscape shot with
everything from the top of the head to the shoes showing.
Aarrrghh!! Did I say mildly frustrating ? OK, make that moderately
annoying!
Rant over. Feel better.
;-)
