Maybe @enterthewarrior was just a bit starstruck.
I remember in my late teens I was working in the McDonald's drive through when my cricketing hero Nathan Astle came through. At the time he was out of action with a knee injury so all I could think of to say was "how's the knee?" He gave me this pissed off look like he couldn't be bothered dealing with fans while he was trying to grab some Maccas and just said "yeah fine" as he drove off.
Wow that was rude The Fleming era had an arrogance to it. Wagner would have had a chat about it
