I have found a few SPOTD sparks based on walking down the street, and this one is no exception. My walk home from work had me pass a group of people dressed in superhero attire (T-shirts of one hero's logo per person but one took it a step further with a helmet and fake mustache) carrying fancy-dancy clipboards. As my SPOTD, these petitioning superheros were on their way to perform some sort of justice to put those clipboards into good use.
I've encountered a few types of petitioners thus far since living in the Bay Area:
- The "save our animals" people. They are particularly drawn to people with animal-like features or clothing that features an animal. "Nice white shirt, lady. Wanna save a polar bear today?"
- The "save our schools" people. These guys bury you with unsettling and depressing facts about the state of our education system, but the more they badger me the less I want to interact with them.
- The "save our environment" people. I had one guy compliment me on a floral skirt I had only to end the compliment by asking me to "save the real thing." Save the flowers, I guess? Nice try.
