What would you have done?

I felt so embarassed I was like "I am not sure.........that.......................I am........comfortable with.......that"

Has this ever happened you? I mainly said no cos I didn't want to have to explain it to co-workers. Maybe if it was on the street I'd have been ok with it.

Were you wearing your best golf outfit?

So what happened after the customer uncuffed you?

I hope you're not a model.

It's happened a couple of times for me. Either some art project on campus or else promo guff for the library's publications, so it's not totally random. Still odd, though.

Hahaha, I was asked for photos as well for a college art project.. and I think there's some thread where the pictures still exist.. maybe. I'll, um, leave it at that.

last week when i was djing, a couple of japanese girls asked to pose with me for photos.

i guess it was payback for me, for taking so many photos of people on stage.

So you're saying the customer wasn't cute?

ugh when i was in college i worked at this big restaurant/club that had private parties in the penthouse/roof area - but one afternoon i had to work for some brat's bar mitzvah handing out little snacks and sodapops. it was so embarrassing. anyways, the kids parents and the photographer asked if they could have a picture of me on my knees serving the bar mitzvah boy some candy on a tray. i was like 'wtf, no' - but they got someone else to do it.

She was ok looking. I didn't really think of it that way. I just thought it was quite weird.

I work in a record store, usually it is a refuge from stuff like this.

the paparazzi you mean?

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

i think he means pussy, mark

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

i'd ask them what it was for and then say yes provided their reason sounded convincing enough.

she was a Japanese tourist, gareth said this happened him before with a Japanese tourist aswell. is it a normal thing to do in Japan?

If so, in hindsight, I feel sort of ignorant.

I once got to say a line for a short film.

I was once asked for an interview by some teenage girls with a video camera in some musem (space museum, maybe?) in Washington, DC. As soon as they found out where I was from, they started asking me about "shagging" (thx, Miek Myers) and then asked me to rate my own prowess.

― .ada.m. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

did you give yourself an A?

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

no.

― .ada.m. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

an 8.

― .ada.m. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

This was out of 500,000 though.

― .ada.m. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

My brother was standing right next to me. It was uncomfortable.

― .ada.m. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

did he give you a 800,000?

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I was stopped on the street once by a camera crew who asked if they could document my life for the next few hours.

I asked them what it was for (school project) and politely told them I had planned on masturbating when I got home and they could not come.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

nyarf nyarf yancey.

an 8 is still a pretty poor performance

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)

As I have related countless times on ILX, I was also stopped once and the street and asked to be in a video for britpop combo Sleeper.

Sadly, I agreed.

you should carry that "CUNT" sign around wth you incase it happens again!

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

having worked in record stores, i would much rather have someone ask to take my picture than have someone attempt to sing something they heard on the radio in the hopes that i knew what it was...
