Sadly I have to say that I am not at all suprised by your encounter with Shia. I have read about other fans' experiences with him, and they weren't very pleasant either. He just seems to be an ass who thinks he's better than everyone else around him. It's really too bad when people let the "fame" get to their heads.

Apparently, you two haven't even paused to consider what it must be like for him. He'd been working for a while. That was his break time; his time to rest and be by himself. And you, gahdp, show up at his place of business and interrupt his break? Yes, he's famous. Yes, he's a celebrity. But you know what? He's a human being first. And as a human being, he has the right to say "no" to you. He's not some mindless, emotionless robot that was designed to cater to your every desire and need. He's not perfect. I'm sick and tired of people like you; people who think that it's okay to show up at a place where an actor is working and to interrupt his quiet time. If anything, you and your friend are the rude ones. You're lucky he even let you take a picture of him. Be grateful for that, and get over it!

Also, he was probably tired. Don't tell me you're not irritable when you're tired.

Get over yourself, gahdp, and cut the guy some slack. You don't know what it's like to be in his shoes.

Apparently, he is not known for having pictures taken with his fans ... unless they're kids.

Quite frankly, gahdp, you and your friends owe Shia an apology. None of us knows why he decided not to grant your request. In your rant, you failed to mention three things:

1. Were you hounding him? Because people don't take too well to that.

2. What kind of tone did he use? Did he use a polite tone? Or did he use a rude one?

3. Did you even ask him why he refused to grant your request?

Anyway, read this article.

And like I said, be grateful for the fact that you got to meet him. Do you know how many people would have loved to be in your shoes? And here you are, griping because he refused to grant your request?

Please!

He's probably quite Exhausted. And I mean while he most likely does love his fans, it probably gets kinda annoying when everyone that sees him wants a pic with him/His autograph. I still deeply admire him and he is still very talented,And if he didnt care about his fans he wouldnt have talked to you or let you take a picture of him at all.

Posts #2, 3, 4: overreacting, much?

LOL Chocobear....I see where you are coming from and I pretty much agree with your main argument but there's no need to sound so....rude and obnoxious. There's no need to belittle gahdp for writing her personal take on the experience!

Dude's hawt!!! U r kewl!!!
