Fanit eivät aina ymmärrä, että Hollywood-tähdillä on myös oma elämä valkokankaiden ulkopuolella. Tai vaikka ymmärtäisivät, niin hyvät tavat luulisivat olevan itsestäänselvyys.
Jerk Nowitzki eli WHUTUPDOE tapasi Jacksonin kadulla ja pyysi päästä fanikuvaan tähden kanssa. Jackson kieltäytyi.
Mutta miksi?
Se selviää seuraavista twiiteistä.
Man I just saw @SamuelLJackson like an hour ago and was like, “Mr. Jackson you think I could get a photo with you?”
Samuel L: “I think not.”

Tässä kohtaa voisi jo luulla, että Jackson oli vain tyly.
And @WHUTUPDOE nowhere in your request was the word “Please”. Call me old fashioned…but try it next time. Now, did you tweet to paint me as an asshole or let folks know you’re part of a big ass club now, too?

Kyse ei ollutkaan tylyydestä, vaan hyvistä tavoista. Jerk ei sanonut ”please”.
Aw man I would never wanna paint you as an asshole. I tweeted it just because I thought it was a funny story that’s all. I even tweeted that I understood why you couldn’t/didn’t stop to take the pic.

I PROMISE y’all I would never try to disrespect @SamuelLJackson lol. Not even a little bit. I only tweeted about that interaction because I thoroughly enjoyed lol. Best believe I will say ALL of the pleases and thank you’s if there’s ever another time.

I saw him in a Safeway once, he was looking for something and my husband started talking to him and he was super nice, I wanted to ask for a picture but I thought he’s literally trying to find food, so I let it be, but he took time for a conversation 👍

I don't think he had any plans to grant your request, regardless of whether or not you said please, but ultimately it's his choice who he spends his time with, and we've got to respect that.

Lopulta Jerk tajusi homman jujun ja pohti asiaa hieman tarkemmin.
The polarization of my SLJ tweet is interesting. The ppl commenting & rushing to judgement against me & against SLJ has been equal parts hilarious and a case study in ppl.
Everyone ascribes intent on other ppl’s words w/out having context because we’ve already made our minds up.
