It is rather rude to invade on his private life like that. He just wants to have some fun with the family, and here you come asking for a picture?

Public figures, when in public, are subject to at least the attention of the masses. Not like Gergroy was rude to him or made any untoward demand (or was trespassing on Romney's land). No different than asking a celebrity for an autograph in a chance encounter

That is equally rude. Just let them have their lives and stop harrassing everyone just cause they are "famous". They are people that also want to have their own life. Just imagine everyone and their mother coming up to you asking for pics/autographs.

There's a difference between harassment and asking for attention. A few months ago, i was walking to class and saw a girl sitting under an umbrella in the rain in a garden, the scene looking so picturesque that i went up to her and asked if i could take a picture, quite politely. Gergroy's conduct was similar, here. If he asked in a rude or pushy way is one thing, but Romney should expect people to ask, at the very least.

omfg a bad day for a well known person.

we all have them and there are times when people dont want to be bothered, he might have been pissed with ann about her nagging. so he couldnt fake happy even he wanted to.

plus i can give a shit if the guy is an asshole, i just need him to know how to run the country unlike the dickhead in now.

Remember that this polite request is probably asked every five minutes in his life when he is in public. Great stuff.

I bet Obama would have said yes.



gergroy on 10 July 2014

I am sure he was just annoyed at me invading his family time, but he could have been more polite about his refusal, made the wait in line kind of awkward... I certainly understand his annoyance and refusal, just the abruptness of it caught me off guard

For those wondering, I was very polite about asking and about his refusal. I am generally i pretty polite person anyway, even if it is somebody I dont necessarily like...

The "conversation" went kind of like this.

"Hey, Mr. romney, would you mind if I get your picture?"
"Absolutely not"
"Oh, ok, thats cool, nice meeting you"

But you weren't invading his family time. You're both out in a public space, he's subject to a degree of non-intrusive or bothersome interaction. A photo request would be one such thing.
