have a little courtesy, please!

wow i'm shocked at how completely rude some people can be to others. from a first hand experience, let me tell you that sitting outside the church pretending to be homeless for the sole purpose of raising awareness and money for the cause, seeing a "homeless" person in "the bubble" can be confusing at first glance, but here are some of the remarks people actually said to our faces (they could have at least waited 5 seconds until they were inside)
"are you guys actually homeless?" --as if the sign "homeless" didn't give it away--
"what kind of game are you trying to play here?" --like it's fun game to sit outside in the rain without shoes on--
"i know you're not homeless because you look too good to be homeless" --i'm speechless--
"it's raining, you could have picked a better day to be 'homeless'" --like they have a choice--

so if i've learned one thing from this whole experience it's to be nice to everyone because you never know the whole story, and please, don't assume you know everything about a person by their appearance or by knowing where they live.
