Or passers-by who hang back politely when they see you point your camera when in fact you were waiting to get them in the scene as random passers-by! I only started to have this problem after I realized that shots of monuments and architecture can be improved by including some anonymous people for scale and interest. Prior to that random passers-by filled my shots when I was trying to get a de-peopled scene.
