So, you go to a small party where someone wants to take a picture with you, but you don't want to

[Baitball Blogger]

be a part of it because you don't want to show up on social media with the person for some very good reasons. How do you politely say no?

[fierywoman]

1. Just say no. Smile.

[Achilleaze]

4. As your turn away from the photo perp, be sure to say

[Kali]

2. Please no thank you, I don't want my photo taken right now.

(This is a reason I am always the camera person! )

[Me.]

3. I Have A Friend Who Uses A Great Phase For All Situations

'Not for Me' she says whenever she wants to decline.

5. Pull out your standard modeling and publicity contract....

...and let them know that the $50,000 per photograph must have cleared your account before the picture is taken.

That's what I usually do.

6. My go to excuse... "I'm sorry I believe each photo taken steals part of my soul."

I got out of yearbook pictures that way.

[yuiyoshida]

7. I would say,

Sorry, I have to run, take it easy....

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Depending upon the situation, something between "I'd rather not" ...

and "Fuck off, wankmaggot"

[Baitball Blogger]

9. LOL!

[sdfernando]

12. wankmaggot?...I'll have to remember that one! /nt

[mitch96]

Leaves 'em stunned and smiling...

[Corvo Bianco]

11. No I'm good.

Why be polite? You don't approve of something they do right? Speak up!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

13. But, I do want to! That's why I'm wearing my wellies and dear stalker cap!

Oh! And trench coat!

[Cirque du So-What]

14. 'I'm 1% Amish'

'and that 1% doesn't want you making any graven fucking images that involve me.'

[surrealAmerican]

15. two words: ...

... gorilla mask!

[Mr.Bill]

16. Can't do it,

I'm wanted in five states.

[Major Nikon]

17. Easy...

You tell them they need to contact your agent.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Since I'm a vampire I won't show up in the photo, so there's no point in including me.

[Fla Dem]

19. Just a simple "No thanks, I don't like having my picture taken." Smile and walk away.

Or make as if you don't hear them ask and say. "Oh excuse me I see someone I want to say hi to" and walk away.

[JuJuYoshida]

20. I usually say to whoever's taking the pic, "you get in the shot and I'll take it"
