I walked over to him and he began apologizing even before I said a word. He asked his daughter if he knew me, and apparently she told her father that he helps with their drills, and he has big icky leg muscles. The owner then told me that a rival shop sent several people to his shop, one evidently, to have work done on an old Jaguar, only to use pictures from his shop to show customers restoration work and paint work they allegedly did themselves.
I told the owner I was just taking a picture of my watch pointing toward the grille for my watch friends, "two classic beauties."
I told him that I felt embarrassed and felt like a scolded child. He smiled and said he probably would not have kept his cool as well as I managed. I said that I guess he didn't hear me tell him to "go f*** himself! he laughed again and said "no,"he was too upset about the pictures.
We both laughed and laughed, now I have an open invitation to tour his shop, and I invited him out to dinner on Saturday night.

Finally, I made a mistake typing elude instead of allude, get over it! It was a poor attempt to escalate the contempt you feel for me. I forgive you. Please forgive me for being human.
We speak of expensive watches, cars, and jewelry in many of our posts and I can see how many members thought that I was using these items, or my degree, to think I was better than the owner; my thinking was that he should have not treated "an obvious professional man" as an adult may speak to a child ( that is where my anger came from). THE END

Hmm, then why haven't you made me one?

Have been on both ends of this and in all cases it's a just don't touch policy. Don't sweat it Doc! Whichever end I find myself or if a situation gets messy I just send the wife in to do the "Dirty Work" as I mostly prefer to stay inside and play with my watches

The guy throws around, and I am paraphrasing "oh yeah, where do you go to school?"

I'm sorry, but what kind of person/adult does that? What is next, my dad can beat up your dad? He comes across as the douche that he is. Ooh, he went medical school, maybe. Who cares? So some guy goes to medical school and he is now entitled to be a poser in front of other people's property?

I would request a MODERATOR please close this posting. It is getting out of control.

if you were sitting on the fender snapping selfies then I would be pissed too but this was obviously not the case

why should he be required to park in a garage to keep folks from taking pics?

i believe it would be considered his private property extending all the way to the street/sidewalk, doesn't yours?
