lmfao that's sad and funny
Sounds like a Family Guy kind of move. lol
I was picturing it that way, exactly. It took reading this to realize FG was the source. Very funny.
Definitely ! Picturing Peter Griffin backing up slowly...
Lmao I always see him on campus as well and he honestly just looks sort of tired. It was probably because you said you didn't recognize him at first then started saying how you were a fan.
So it takes people a minute to remember who someone is when you mention some of their works, not everyone has a good memory unless something jogs it.
"I don't know you....I know your shows." You basically answered the very reason he gave you the look he did. It was nothing to do with being 'stalkerish' it was all to do with being illogical.

If it makes you feel any better, NOBODY in physics takes this loon seriously. He's completely out of step with the science of physics, and has made a name for himself by watering down theories to make them marketable to people who live in a fantasy world. Plus, those physics guys are often on the Autism spectrum and don't do well with personal interaction. I doubt it was anything about you at all.
“He’s...made a name for himself by watering down theories to make them marketable to people who live in a fantasy world.”OH, you mean like making the complex subject matter of physics more COOL and ACCESSIBLE to people otherwise excluded from the Ivory Tower?!Science is Awesome, and EVERYONE should be able to experience the excitement and fascination that comes with discovering a bit more about how their world works. Dude, that’s why Bill Nye the Science Guy was such a great show! We need more science beans who can also communicate, because you can’t educate people if you can’t reach them (and lord knows we have a pandemic of ignorance in this country).Wait... Bill Nye better not be on here... oh shit. 😥
Comedian Jim Norton live(s/d) in the same building as him and although he was a repeated guest on his radio show, he always seemed freaked out when Jim would see him around and say hi. It could be social awkwardness, Asperger's, or he could just have prosopagnosia.In any case, this is hardly a "mean" incident, more than just weird. And people saying your approach was illogical or awkward...still doesn't warrant his reaction.
My brother had Asperger's,and while he wasn't shy at all,he had to be the one to start talking for it to be a comfortable interaction for him. If a person came up to him and started talking, he found it awkward,like he didn't quite know where to jump in unless it was a topic that was in his area,and if someone tried to steer the conversation away from something he was comfortable with,he would try to redirect it back so he would feel comfortable jumping in again.
