Margery Kempe was seen by some in her lifetime as being a Saint. The Catholic Church never made her one, but the big reason why some thought she was one had to do with her annoying habit of openly weeping. On a pilgrimage to the holy lands, Ms. Kempe was such an annoying presence that her fellow travelers abandoned her, leaving her open to the roaming marauders, killers and rapists who swarmed over the countryside at the time. (That's why travelers went around in groups at the time.) When Margery showed up at the next town untouched and with all her valuables, the others began believing her to be a Saint. They chose to let her tag along with them afterwards, learning to live with her constant weeping. One could say that they qualified as saints after dealing with her annoying nature.
