It’s not easy being in the Navy. Sure, you’re guaranteed a new album every November but the object of your affection is likely to assault you with a microphone or scream expletives if you ever cross paths. Rihanna‘s latest master class in how not to deal with fans occurred during a recent shopping trip in New York City.

RiRi was swarmed by fans and paparazzi on leaving an American Apparel store in the West Village on August 19 and immediately lost her cool. “Back it up!” she said cooly, before ordering courageous onlookers to “back it the fuck up!” In her defense, there were more paps than fans in her immediate vicinity but it’s still a bad look.

Would it kill her to smile and wave? Watch the unfortunate interaction after the jump.

Should Rihanna make nice or is her bad girl image part of her appeal? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
