While being recognized publicly is probably cool the first time it happens, it also has to be something that can get really annoying fast when you aren't able to simply go out for lunch or hang out with friends without people coming up to you.
The Way I Am by Eminem summed this type of stuff up pretty well.
But at least have the decency in you
To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
In the streets when I'm eating or feeding my daughter
To not come and speak to me
I don't know you, and no, I don't owe you a mothafuckin' thingAnd I'm thankful for every fan that I get
But I can't take a shit in the bathroom
Without someone standing by it
No, I won't sign an autograph
You can call me an asshole, I'm glad, 'cause...
I am whatever you say I am
