Well i'm glad we solved this Punk threads are just the best. "Punk is a dick!" "No, he's not!" "Yeah-uh!" "Nuh-uh!" *Goes ten pages in two days* EVERY SINGLE TIME. God help us all if Punk and AJ ever split up.

my two experiences with Punk has been pretty good, met him at a comic book store that he always shops at, i went there to pick up my hold and he was there buying comics, i walked past him and just went "hey punk hows it goin" he looked back and said "good" and picked up my hold he asked me what i have in mine then gave me shit when the guy told him that I have the Kevin Smith batman's on hold despite not having a new issue for a few years now but Punk was more like "when do you just call it a day and realize thats never coming out just take it off your hold" which the comic shop owner went "Says the guy who takes like 4 months just to pick up his hold" it was all in good fun.
the other time was me and my friends leaving the comic con here in chicago and saw him and lita coming in, we waived hi to him but didnt stop him just kept walking, he ran after us to ask if him and lita can have our passes we said yeah and my friend asks if we could all get a photo with them, and punk went "yeah, sounds good to me lets do this" so we all took our photo and went our separate ways.

Not saying that he was doing this but are you sure he wasn't just heeling it up? Was Knobbs a heel in the match? I could see him as the type of guy who's naturally an asshole to begin with but doubly so if he's playing a heel. At the time I though my friend was about to get his ass kicked. Came off as one of those guys that goes to bars and starts crap just for the sake of starting crap. If it was him "heeling" up then he may have surpassed Flair as a heel right there in the gas station line. He looked legit pissed that my friend would have the nerve to talk to him. When he cursed him out he was pretty loud about it and was boderline screaming. We didn't get pissed about it. Just figured the guy was probably tired from traveling and just wanted to drink some beer and get the hell out of Baton Rouge and to his next stop and didn't want to get noticed by anyone.

Makes sense. He could also be the kind of guy who's just a dick sometimes.

Was listening to an old Art of Wrestling Podcast with CM Punk.
In it he mentioned that on an off day, traveling back to Chicago, he stopped off in Pittsburgh. While there he walked about 10 miles. During this walk he, and whoever he was with, took out there phone and set a clock to see how often people would stop him to talk, get a pic, autograph or whatever. In it he mentioned that during the entire walk he never made it 5 minutes without someone coming up to him.

If your going to be a celebrity than these are the risks you take when venturing out into the public.
I believe everybody in entitled to their privacy, but don't be surprised when people recodnise you in public.
From what I hear of Punk, if I ever saw him in person I wouldn't even bother trying to approach him.
Admitingly I could probably walk past about 90% of celebs and not know it.
I'm quite shy in person anyway so probably wouldn't have the guts to approach them if I did recodnise them.

I've heard Punk has always been the way that he has been dating back to when he started with the LWF. He was a fan growing up so what did he expect to happen when deciding to become a wrestler. After all, there is a photo floating around of him when he was younger meeting up with Stone Cold. Did he ever stop and think about how Stone Cold would come off and whether he wanted to be bothered or not?
It seems Punk wanted all the glory you can achieve in wrestling without realizing there is more responsibility that comes with being a top name than simply going out there stealing the show in main events. All that is said in here are the reasons why Cena deserved the number one spot more than Punk.

I think that some celebs need to take a chill pill.
Instant Public Recognition (IPR) is a side effect of celebrity.
DEAL WITH IT.

I think Punk would respond well depending on how fans approach him. Maynard James Keenan of Tool/A Perfect Circle is said to have a very stand offish, insulting, and dry sense of humor. But if you can deal with his style of humor and attitude he responds better to you. Maybe that's how Punk is? A lot of people probably can't handle his type of humor or attitude, so they sulk away instead of calling him out on it. A lot of that has been said about others. Ole Anderson comes to mind. As much grief as Ole gets for being a "bitter" old curmudgeon, a lot of people have come forth that if you handle him and his very rough sense of humor right, he eases up. Punk is a human being, first and foremost, like any of us. He has his bad moments and good moments. He takes his work very seriously, but he wasn't ready for some of what came with it, I think. A lot of that may come from him trying his best to keep to his roots and not go buy a gated mansion with security guards and what not. He wants to be the same guy he's always been and live the same way, but because of his proximity to them, he ends up with people camping out in front of his place and the like. That has to wear on you after a while. Also, I wonder how much Punk's personal relationships have come to define how he acts with others. His brother embezzled money from him, his sister (though he obviously loves her) has an addiction history and those can be very trying trust-wise, I believe his father did something to cause a falling out too (though I can't remember that one exactly). The people he should be closest to, he's learned he can not trust; I wonder if that has affected him outwardly to the point he just really doesn't like or trust too many people anymore. That sucks. But then again, Punk needs to DEAL WITH IT. If he cut me off in traffic, I'd still flip him off.

World of difference between meeting at a signing vs. on the street.

Meh, I don't think Punk, or any celebrity for that matter, owe the fans anything when they're off-duty, so to speak. While you're correct in your statement you have had celebrities like Michael Jackson who would be mobbed when in public and still be kind to fans. When asked how he handled it he said "always be kind and nice to fans. If they want an autograph give them one, they want to shake your hand let them, etc. Just as long as they don't try to hurt me." Of course it's Michael Jackson so when he was alive insanity followed him when he was out in the public. However, Punk, on the other hand, appears to sincerely dislike being approached by anyone when he's out and about. So who knows. To be fair Michael Jackson had the voice of an angel. If MJ said "You have a vagina" or "come over here and fight me, fatso and I'll leave you a broken mess of a man" it would sound like the most calming and serene thing in the universe. .

Eh I can see where punk comes from with the whole disliking people thing.
Hell Im not even famous and when I goto a store and its particularly busy I'm sort of put off and just wanna go back home. I could see how annoying it'd be if the place is both busy and people are bugging you every 4 minutes.

It is my belief that everyone saying "deal with it" has never actually dealt with it.

I could see how annoying it'd be if the place is both busy and people are bugging you every 4 minutes. I'm of the same mindset. I legitimately hate it when complete strangers try to makes small talk with me on the bus, train, or when I'm at work. Tact (and the desire not to get fired) prevents me from telling people I'm not interested in whatever bullshit they're spewing, but I can imagine having to deal with it multiple times per day would erode that quite quickly.
