You know what's sad? I can pick out a californian out of a group of strangers really easily just by their attitude. My GF and i were over at some souveiner shop in Zions national park in Utah some months back, and we ran into this couple, where the female rolled her eyes, and let out a "UGggghhhh" type of heavy sigh. It was clear that we "inconvienced" her by our very presence because she had to stop what she was doing because we were going by her. I forget exactly.. getting in/out of the car or something very normal. My GF picked up on it, and i said, "heh.. probably from califorinan. We, 'got in her way' probably."

As they got in their car and left ( were were still sitting in the car), we both peeked around and sure enough.... License plate was from california. I laughed pretty hard, but at the same time i was ashamed.

Sorry for hijack, but it never cease to amaze me how you can pick a Californian out. Maybe its easy where you are one. i dunno.
Profiling

I found it funny that the guy says 'dont touch me' and that just inspired the 'toucher' to pick it up a notch.

I have never been above self criticism.

edit:
Eventually im going to move out of state. When i do, the very first thing im going to do is ditch the Californian license plate and drivers license. They're like big badges of shame in some areas.

Well I think at first the reporter over reacted but then the guy just keeps on touching him, if I was the reporter I would be getting annoyed too!

Personally, i think that touchy guy is either gay, from the deep south (their more touchy/feely down there if i remember right. Cultural thing as i recall), or he was deliberatly egging the douchebag reporter on. One of the three.
