Dumbest/Most Regrettable Utterances

I prefer to get close enough to be able to use a wide-angle

Huh, most of the women I meet you have to use a wide angle.

I got you covered: https://www.pexels.com/search/puffins/

Sure, but don't tell my wife...she is still waiting for my wonderful pictures of puffins.
PS: I just ordered an RF 800mm plus 2X extender for "birding" .

Too long: 400mm on 5DIV.

I used to be very socially awkward until I started working in a library. We're constantly trained on interpersonal communication techniques. Mostly to prevent staff from getting shanked by hobos I suppose. When I'm taking pictures of someone I usually keep it to "very nice, beautiful, great, awesome, whoa that looks good" (even when you mess up a shot) etc... it's short and sweet, and very corny, and cliche things for a photographer to say. But in the moment, your subject will always believe it.

Very different from taking pictures of animals, which usually includes plenty of f-bombs when you miss the shot.
