 I worked in small-town TV. I repeatedly interviewed someone, complete with 40lb broadcast camera, microphone, and live truck emblazoned with "WHERE YOUR NEWS COMES FIRST", and after the conclusion of the interview they would say "so what newspaper are you from?"

Please tell me the same happens to you in reverse.

I'd get way too many instances of talking to someone for an interview and at the end have them go "wait, you want this for a STORY!?!?!" and try to retract everything. Like no, man, sometimes I just bomb around town, introduce myself as being from the newspaper, ask a series of related questions and jot down everything people say in a notebook. It's a hobby of mine.
The same thing happens with TV. 40 pound TV camera. Big bright light. Interview ends, "you're not going to put that on TV, are you?". No. I'm going to take it home and cherish it.
