A lot of people think their personal issues give them a right to treat others like crap while I had people with severe disabilities or serious injuries happy to talk about life. I realized a lot of adults are immature self-centered d-bags, in the whole time talking to thousands of people I met a few hundred small children; not one of them was rude or inappropriate. Children being more well behaved than adults, what a crazy weekend.
I gotta ask... what kinda "gig" was this you were working? Were you wearing a branded polo-shirt and attempting to sell something? Striking up conversations with strangers passing by, rudely interrupting them and demanding their attention with a hollow introduction like "Hey guys! Beautiful day, can I talk to you about something?" while clutching a clipboard your hands? Much like those pushy sales people in airpot/mall kiosk?
