99% of my neighbors are cool with the Phantom. They love watching me fly it and ask all sorts of questions. Many ask if I've stabilized my wobbles yet. They're quite informed and into it.
One lady however, is the paranoid type. She stopped next to me while walking her dog while I was changing batteries. She asked "what is that thing?" I said it is an unmanned aerial vehicle (didn't want to use the word drone). Still confused, I told her some people call them drones, but drones have a bad name because this isn't a military attack drone which kills people.
Then she said "thats one of those things that steals phone conversations isn't it!?!?!" Immediately she was pissed off. I said, no this thing can't steal phone conversations. She insisted that it did, and that she "saw it on the news." I assured her that this device did not steal phone conversations, but if some hacker in his basement wanted to I'm sure he could do it.
This lady was a bit of an odd character, and really didn't listen to a thing I said. She was convinced that this evil drone was stealing her phone conversations.
This is what we are up against.
