People are frustrated in Greece, and reporters covering the country’s debt crisis are getting an earful–also, on occasion, they are having their liveshots ruined.

Today, it was Bloomberg reporter Joe Wiesenthal, who wasn’t just interrupted, but had his microphone taken right out of his hands.

Wiesenthal, who took it in stride despite being spun in a circle and left unable to complete his report, later shared a bury-the-hatchet selfie he took with the microphone thief:
