He came to my University...

He came to my University on two separate occasions (I hear he is coming again) and he was so fickle and rude, both times! I told him he was my hero, and that I'd love his autograph and he just yelled "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO REMIND PEOPLE, NO AUTOGRAPHS!" He then started going off on how he asked for (a certain brand of water, I don't know, maybe Smart Water?) water 5 minutes ago and that they brought him the wrong one. It sounds dumb, but he was serious about it. It really put me off, and I no longer admire nor respect him. He's a jerk.

So no person can have some rules about THEIR live? He MUST give you his signature? If you really were his fan, you would know that he openly says he doesnt give autographs. And ofcourse you think you were the only one that asked him for that and he were rude for no reason? hundreds of people ask him that dont make yourself so special, you are just a one of milions of fans. I have intollerance for sodium cations so I cant drink mineral water with sodium dominance. If you invite someone like him and ask him tfor his time, make some effort. Bringing him the water he wants is not such a big of requirement. Maybe he simply cannot drink any other water.

Yeah, he's allergic to any other water. Sure. Are you kidding? In public, he will PURPOSELY call attention to himself so people will approach him, then when they finally do, he bitches about it. He was at an event where people are NORMALLY going to ask for an autograph, not like he was on the sidewalk hailing a taxi and some rando asked and made him miss a taxi!

..."ask him for his time..." It's possible he was giving his time, but it's more likely that his time was bought and paid for by some group at the university. Besides, how difficult is it to smile and say sorry, I don't give autographs rather than give a rude response?

Many celebs don't like to give autographs because:1. They may be worried that if they give you one, everyone present suddenly wants one.2. There's a lot of people who ask for autographs, only to sell them on eBay to fanatical fans later for money.3. He may not like people who see him as a hero, preferring people who treat him as an equal or peer.
