It all boils down to "never judge others by one's standards."  

I remember when I was taking a picture of a farmer tending to his veggies.
I was 30 meters away, standing on public property, and he was part of his
environment (No sireee..... I did not poke my tele into his face).  He saw
me and charged at me with a lump of mud in his hand.  I just had enough
time to get into my car and drove off when that lump of mud nearly
splattered on the vehicle.    I suppose his "personal space" is wider than
his farm.
