Once upon a time I was at scenic Milford Sound in NZ, and saw this woman taking pictures. My first thought was that she must not know much about photography because it appeared that she didn't even know how to hold her camera. For a brief moment I thought about offering her some tips, but then reconsidered and decided to mind my own business. Later, she struck up a conversation with me, at which time I learned she was a professional photographer from the US, sent to NZ to take photos for a national magazine. Man, I was glad I hadn't opened my mouth earlier.
My pet peeve: Cyclists who berate others who ride nice bikes that they supposedly haven't "earned."
