lagatta, you've reminded me of a disturbing event that had been banished to the dusty corners of my memory.
One night, a few years ago, I was out with some friends at the pub. Mr. Sun was sick, so I was bach'n it. Anyways, somewhere halfway into my first pitcher of beer, a friend of a friend showed up with his new fancy digital recorder. No big deal, we're all geeks, so we all ohh'ed and ahhh'ed over it, and used it a bit. But then we returned it and resumed drinking.
Well, near the end of my first pitcher, Mr. Camera offers to buy me a second. Turns out he though I was cute (but married, although I didn't mention this part - hey, free beer was at stake!). Again, no big deal. I'm out with a large group of friends. But I begin to notice, through the beer haze, that the video camera is out a lot, and he keeps talking to me to get me to look his way. Creepy, but I just shrugged it off.
But then I remember it getting really creepy. He kept trying to get me to say stuff and do stuff. At one point, he wanted me to pour him a glass of beer (across the table and down a bit, I would have had to stand and bend forward), and already had the camera set up for the 'down the front of the shirt shot'. That was it for me. I rather rudely pushed the pitcher his way, and announced that I needed to leave. Before he could say/do anything, I had a few good friends (who really were good friends, and most likely more sober than I at this point) offering to share a cab 'since we lived close together'. Well, we didn't, but they got me off home safely in a cab, alone.
The next day, when I realized what had happened, I was so freaked out. There was this stranger taping me, and me three sheets to the wind, for a few hours, and I had/have no idea what ever became of that footage. I feverently hoped that he was also drunk and would wake up the next morning and delete it (I'm not nearly so cute the next day :) ), but the abilities of video editing just scared me. Since then, I'm way more hesitant around strangers and cameras. Friends, I don't mind so much.
