Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I want to preface this with some context - I'm an early 20s guy living in an American city where it's not uncommon to be approached on the street, usually by people that either want to sell you something or ask you for money or just generally do something weird.  It's not a constant occurrence, but it's not out of the ordinary.

So, I'm sitting on a bench waiting for my bus to arrive.  I'm having a phone conversation with a family member when this guy dressed kind of oddly walks up to me holding a selfie stick and talking into it (clearly filming himself).  He walks up to me and asks me how I'm doing, angling the camera to film us both.  I realized later on in this interaction that he was livestreaming, not that that particular detail necessarily matters.

Anyway, at this point I tell him (admittedly sounding a bit annoyed) that I'm on the phone and can't talk right now.  This part of the interaction genuinely wasn't his fault - I'm talking using a Bluetooth earpiece, so it's entirely understandable not to notice that I'm on a call.

At this point, the guy extends his hand and says "I just want a handshake, man" along with a few other things that I couldn't make out since I was mostly focused on my conversation.  At this point I just ignored the guy since I was trying to listen to the person I was on the phone with telling me a story.

This is where the interaction gets a little weird - he keeps his hand extended and just repeats himself, louder, a few times telling me that he wants to shake my hand.  I'm a little weirded out by the fact that he's filming me this whole time and I finally just snap and, without raising my voice, tell him "I have no interest in whatever the fuck this is."

The guy looks surprised, mutters something to the effect of "Well fuck you too, then," and walks off.

In retrospect, I realize that this was mostly a misunderstanding and if I'd processed the situation better at the time I probably would've just shaken his hand and hopefully that would've been the end of the interaction.  My gut reaction to how he approached me and the fact that he was filming me was that he was just some weirdo approaching me to ramble about politics or get me to debate him™ or something.

Anyway, I think my response to him alone makes this *at best* an ESH situation and at worst, well, I'm the asshole.  I've been thinking about this all day and I'd appreciate some input.
