I saw Richard Stallman at a pet shop in New York yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, "Oh, like you’re doing now?"

I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen parrots in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she started to typing the receipt, he noticed that she's using proprietary software, stopped her and told her to install Gentoo "to prevent any nonfree software from infettering his life," and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she downloaded GNU+Linux and started installing the printer drivers, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
