so today i went down to intersection where the homeless guys stand and i stood there for a few hours with the sign i made:
.
the reactions i got were pretty interesting.
most people wouldn't even look at me.
many smiled and laughed and waved.
five people tried to give me money. they didn't understand when i wouldn't take it.
one guy yelled "get a fucking job."
about nine people took a picture.
some folks talked to me, they didn't understand what i was doing, if i was begging or not.
a few cops came by, one smiled and gave me a thumbs up, one guy looked a bit frustrated, didn't say anything to me, wrote something down and drove off.
i don't think the majority of the folks actually read the sign. of those that did, i dont think many knew what to make of it. i think the "god bless" at the bottom threw them off.
so...if you saw a guy standing there holding that cardboard sign, and you actually read it, what would you do?
