Homeless person; wtf 

Guy comes and lays down in front of my store about half-hour before opening.

At 20 minutes till, I head to the store to grab something, and poke him on the way out. "Hey, you need to be gone in like 10 minutes." *noncommital grunt*

Coming back from the store, I prod him again. "You need to leave."

He jumps up, yells at me loudly, "I'll never shop at Phoenix! Rosicrucians will burn in hell!" and other random crap as he storms down the sidewalk. o.O

Well okay then.

I can... /almost/ get the thought process of someone who, in a defensive fury, tries to pretend he's a loyal customer that I just kicked out of the store itself, rather than off my front stoop, and loudly yells it to everyone just in case it defames us. But the bit about the Rosicrucians doesn't do him any favors.

I'm pretty sure he's never actually set foot in here, much less bought anything like he claimed.

But hey, at least he got the store's name right (even if it was right in front of him on the door). Some folks can't even get that when they're /in/ the store.

@emanate I used to go to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in the Santa Clara area when I was in grade school. I remember the museum being pretty fantastic, but I have no idea why the Rosicrucians were so enthusiastic about ancient Egyptian stuff. I'll probably look it up, now that I've remembered that. XD

@green @emanate lore is their order started in classical Egypt I believe. That said the museum has a nice collection of predynastic and Hellenic period stuff which is really a great surprise.
