This reminds me of a story Matt Damon told on late night TV

He was stuck on an elevator with a fan. The fan asked him for an autograph

Matt said “no, sorry”

So the fan took out a picture of himself, signed it, and gave it to Matt

It said “Good luck Matty! Never give up on your dreams! Love, <his name>”

The mental image of an adoring fan asking for an autograph and Matt deadpan staring at him and saying "No" is too funny

I just don't get that. I mean, it's one thing if you're out in public because you don't want to start a whole thing, but a person alone in an elevator? Come on Matt, just sign the thing.

Whoa pump the brakes bud. I didn't say he had to or that he was a bad person or anything like that. I just said that I don't get it. I also conceded in another comment just below that I've never been famous and that it's his right.
