People are so unreasonable and so ready to take offense. Reminds me of a woman who screamed at me that I was threatening her and said she'd report me for harassment when I pointed out that she'd thrown a load of litter down.
I forgot to post this, I think the chap has a great spirit, and rather than scowling at people walking by or looking at his phone, he's engaging in a lovely way. In any case, I appreciated it and found it amusing.
