Whoa, unless I'm completely reading this the wrong way, this sounds like a classic Jerry Seinfeld anecdote:
a guy eating at a restaurant notices Jerry Seinfeld sitting at a table across the way with a woman and some children. Being a fan of the show, the guy feels compelled to say hello and meet one of his favorite TV stars. He's nearly done with his own meal and after Seinfeld's table's orders have been taken, he makes his approach:
"Mr. Seinfeld! Hi, I'm ____. I'm a huge fan of your work...", the guy says with eyes gleaming.
Seinfeld briefly glances at the man and then turns towards the woman he's seated next to and smiles.
"Would it be a bother to ask you for a picture?", the guy continues.
Without missing a beat, Jerry blurts out, "_____, can you believe it? A person would walk up to me, ME, while I'm taking my family out to a nice family dinner, interrupt us, and then have the nerve to ask me for a picture. A picture? Can you believe it? Some people!"
Jerry never breaks eye-contact with the woman and never again acknowledges the guy standing by his table and family. The guy eventually slumps away back to his table, pays for his meal, and leaves.
