Well, everyone has their horror stories, and I finally encountered mine last weekend at a Quinceneara.

The uncle/family-MC was about to bite my head off while I was taking the formals with about 10+ Pshooters behind me including him. I still remember the exact words because it was too funny.

"I am not going to tell you again, you have to remember, you are not the only one taking pictures and you got the best spot".

The quinceneara was fun, and there was so many PShooters there, but I didn't mind, as long as they didn't ruin my shots. But apparently this uncle-Bob was taking it personally because I got the "best spot" and in front of everyone.

I did come over right after to politely tell him that I was paid to do this, but he wouldn't take anything for an answer so I turned around, about to talk to the parents to explain things to him but the videographer, who witnessed the whole story, already talking to the dad about it. After the ceremony, he avoided me & didn't bother me at all. I of course thanked the videographer, whom I know is a very sweet person & a good friend of my friend, whom gave me the shoot.

I'd have said something like "Well, how about that!" in response to the "you got the best spot" comment.

Gold, pure gold...

LOL good thing I am not very quick witted like you guys. He'd have had either a heart attack or my head bitten off. His veins were about to pop yelling at me. If it weren't for everyone around watching, I'd laugh so hard when I heard that: "You got the best spot"

I think you'll be OK, they have a thin candy shell. I'm surprised you didn't know that.
