Hello, can you help us take a picture?

perhaps i guess just switch to full auto will do.

Teaching someone uninitiated to take a picture through a viewfinder is too difficult for that short while. Liveview might make life abit easier but I still am going to pass a PnS for them

May be tough with a DSLR but with a P&S, its possible to use/do this :

Probably adaptable with a regular tripod with ballhead.

You must have arms of steel to hold that...

Unless you have an LCD that you can reverse to face you, hard to frame your shot though. And like tjhan pointed out, with a DSLR, people will be wondering why you always look like you're straining

Where did you see this? Just curious. Personally I haven't seen this ever, and I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

What I'm worried about with tripods is some kid will be running without looking and *blam*. Or some clumsy adult (possibly talking on cell phone while walking).
