Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Long story short, I take the train to commute to work in the morning. Every morning there is this man who is sleeping in the same seat. For the last few months, every day I take a picture of him sleeping before I find my seat.  This morning, the flash on my camera was on and he woke up and was upset that I was taking a picture of him.  It’s a public place so I should be allowed to take a picture of whatever I want. It’s not like I’m taking a picture of him in his private home or anything. So, am I the asshole?
