What is a street photographer thinking while taking photos?

f8? f11? f16?
Is that 10 feet away?
Zone focus or hyper focus, that's the question
Aperture priority or shutter priority?
Look at that juxtaposition!
Look at that gorgeous a**! got to move closer! :drool:
Oh my god! she saw me and now she poses like a model!
Why is he winking at me? :fear:
When I told my girlfriend that the ideal length is 35mm, she stared at me and said "oh my god! this is TOO short!"
Great light! 100 ISO, f16, 1/125 sec.
FFS, it's getting dark and my ISO are so poor!
Oh-oh is that guy looking at me?
Dammit if only that man would move just a half step...there! stop! freeze!
Why do the most amazing scenes ALWAYS happen when my battery is dead?
Dammit I need a dog passing there. Where are the dogs when you need them?
Come on, move out of my frame you idiot!
Look at that symmetry!
Stop stop stop! please please please stay still a second!
Now? Now! 
Too late
God, my feet are killing me
I bet this scene will look great in b/w
What would Henri Cartier-Bresson do in my place?
Did I leave the oven on?
Damn shutter lag! 10 photos per second my ass!
Look at that mimic!
Should I sell my manual camera and get myself a fancy point and shoot?
Should I sell my body for a Leica?
I've got to take a leak
