Yeah, seeing as this is a "I regret I didn't act the way I should have"-topic, I will post a little story myself and I'm sure you guys will either want to slap me in the face or laugh in my face for it. I was at lowlands festival ( Netherlands ), it was in 2002 if I remember correctly. There was a stand at the festival called "contra-naked operations". They were having a contest on 1 day of the festival where they were looking for people to do a naked run. The winner would get a free outfit form some clothing manufacturer. I prepared myself for it by buying a camera and was all set up when the event was about to take place. As I felt like a voyeur, I sat down in the grass somewhere and tried to look inconspicuous. Some idiot came sitting next to me and started talking to me. He was dutch and translated said something like: "So, you're going to take pictures, huh... Now the cat's out of the bag...Yeah I like this thing too." Then he winked at me and nudged me. Then he started to make comments of people walking by and asked me some more irritating questions. I was totally uncomfortable with this idiot next to me before the race even took place. The race started, my heart thumping heavily. first off: naked guys, which I suppose nobody was waiting for. Then the girls, and there were some beautiful girls there. About 3 or 4 were gorgeous. But.... I felt so uncomfortable with this guy next to me that I couldn't take any pics. Damnit, I still hate myself for not taking pics. Later I realised that nobody knew me there and it wouldn't have been any problem to take the pics. I tried a google search for it some time later, but I could only find 1 pic of the event and it was of the naked guys ...So, am I a total idiot and wuss or what?
