I was out and about taking photos this morning and a man stopped me and asked if I was a photographer for hire that he needed portraits of his family done. I told him yes and answered his questions with ease. Then he asked for a business card, then stated "I will have my wife call you to set up an appointment". We shake hands and within 10 feet from me, he tosses my business card on the ground and keeps walking. How rude! I'm okay with rejection, but I thought that was a rude way of going about it.

that is extremely bizarre... Why even bother showing interest if you're going to go out of your way to be an asshole? I probably would have thrown my camera at his head

You are looking at this from a female perspective.
Just maybe he was assessing as to whether or not she was an easy hook up, so used the I want photos as a ploy to gauge his chances. I have learned over the years there are all types of jerks out there, and do not give them a second thought when they behave rudely. Unless they get physical that is, then that is a different story.

you make a good point but you really just make him look like more of a prick. Men will never cease to amaze me. Plus, if he was looking for a booty call wouldn't he want to keep the card with the phone number on it?!
Edit: and why would you mention a WIFE?! Do easy women prefer married men??

No he would not keep the card if he saw it as a dead end. And yes there are many women who will screw around with a married man. I like to do some amateur sociology experiments. In one I did I wore a wedding band, and hit up clubs. I got hit on more with a wedding band on then I did when I was not wearing one. It just shows that some buy into the all the good ones are taken, or gay saying.
