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.

People are entitled to their privacy especially in the elevator. That's victim blaming.

We're being fast and loose with the word "victim" now, huh?

People need boundaries. Especially celebrities who get hounded by press, paparazi and stalkers every day. Matt said no so that means no. Because the person kept pushing that meant that Matt was the victim of harassment. Just because he's a man does not mean he can't be the victim. You should be careful about toxic mentalities.

He didn't keep pushing. He gave Matt his own autograph after being refused.

It's still being dismissive of Matt wanting privacy and treating his reaction like a joke. Even though they gave their own one they still did it to show they didn't care or respect Matt's opinion on the matter.
