Have refrained from sharing this before, buuuuuuuut …
Came to work this morning, and found that someone had set up camp in the portico of the building I work in. No-one in sight, but mega debris left behind. I would like to know, from a purely scientific basis, what possible scenario would include :
7-8 empty and semi-empty packets of Dine cat food.
1 broken bottle of cheap sherry.
3 used syringes (capped).
a baby soother.
many many cigarette butts.
the wrappings from at least 2 soap bars.
various items of discarded clothing including underwear.
3 empty bottles of hair shampoo.
orange peel.
1 cigarette lighter (empty).
the supports and foam packing from a small pallet.
a secondhand paperback copy of Pride and Prejudice (much used).
a couple of packets of jelly babies (broken and contents scattered).
a whole onion (undamaged).
Can anyone enlighten me? And yes, I had to clean it up. Thank god for cheap woollies tongs.
I’ve read a bunch of comments from homeless people on reddit saying that after a while they lose respect for society ignoring them, both hoarding what ever is available and leaving garbage anywhere just becomes part of their life.
Me too. I could understand most of it, the cat food, the syringes and butts, jelly babies etc. but the baby soother, and hair shampoo were a bit of a facer. The onion confused me.

This is someone who is most likely shooting ice. The give away is the collection of random shit.
Take it from me: if you’ve ever lived that life, it makes perfect sense.
100%. This is meth behaviour.
I’m sure they had such grand plans for all the assorted crap

Good that they capped the syringes at least
I have no insights. The soap and shampoo quantities confused me.
