You just handed a gadget to gadget-intensive people. What do you do with a gadget? Fiddle with it! Put something into someone's hands and of course they will start messing with it. I don't mind with my view camera, because the film is in the holders.

Good point, I hadn't thought of it this way. Personally, I'll give the rewind knob a twirl to see if there's film in a camera before opening it.

Very funny! Maybe more than just a camera was "loaded" in this situation?

Of course. I should have stated that I was referring to situations where I come across a camera that hasn't been handed to me by someone, such as at a flea market, garage sale, thrift store, etc.

In which case it's fair game.

I guess I'm funny that way.
If she lets them do all that, there's for sure something funny about you!
I do use a digital device in my photographic pursuits when necessary.
When someone rags on me for using film, I use a middle digit, upraised.

to make sure the film and paper are in there, before i buy it, i don't want to get ripped off.
I try out every match in a box in the shop before I buy them!

Not necessary. All you have to do is test one and look for all the others that are a match.

I noticed the same with one person, but i pronounced a loud "hey" and quickly and efficiently woke that person up from their object fondling trance state reminiscent of the infant years, with the mouth open and big wide eyes and stuff...
Nobody ever handed me a film camera before though...maybe back in 2000 but i dont remember.
