Have you ever taken a picture of someone in public without their permission?

Like when they're drinking a coffee or waiting at a bus stop?

Never. It would tick me off if someone did it to me.

But oh my, was I ever tempted at the bike trailhead parking lot. 🤤🔥 ;-)

No but someone did that to me few years ago. Felt really weird I had never seen that. It was a guy, I did find him attractive, but, it felt still odd to me and like, um what are you doing?

@Coralmist the same happened to me years ago also. I was on a long bike ride on a hot day, and my phone died. I had stopped on the sidewalk in the shade of a building to change the battery on the phone. Looking up, I noticed a station wagon stopped in the middle of the street. The driver, a white-haired gent with an equally white goatee (he looked a lot like Col. Sanders!) had his hand extended through the open window holding a smartphone, pointed directly at me. I can only assume he was photographing me. Upon noticing him, I made a shrugging gesture, and he immediately retracted his hand, the window went up, and he sped away. Weeks later, riding on the same street, I saw him puttering around in his yard. I called out to him to ask how the photos came out, but he hastened back into his house and shut the door!
