1. Attacked at a Bar<\/h2>\n

One of the most infamous incidents involving Google Glass occurred when Sarah Slocum was asked to remove<\/a> her Glass while at a bar in San Francisco. The patrons there repeatedly told her to remove the device, not wanting to be recorded. Eventually, one patron took matters into their own hands and grabbed the Glass off her face<\/strong>.
