>>11768231I've see Taleb in the supermarket yesterday. I said to him how nice it was to meet him in person, and that i didn't wanted to be a jerk and bother him asking for photos or anything else.
He said: "Just like you're doing right now?"
I was taken by surprise, all I could say was "Wha-?", but he kept talking and repeating "Wha-? Wha-? Wha-?" and closing his fist on my face. I left to carry on my shopping and I heard him laughing while I was leaving. When I was paying the cashier I've seen him trying to sneak out the market with fifteen packs of hummus without paying.
The cashier was really professional and said "Sir, you need to pay for it". At first he was pretending tiredness and that he couldn't hear her, but he end up turning back and taking it to the cashier.
When she scanned one packing she started scanning it over and over, he stopped her and told her to scan each package individually to "avoid any electrical interferece", then he blink his eye for me. After scanning each one, she puts it into a bag and say the price, he kept interrupting her, sighing out loud.
