I’ve read a bunch of comments from homeless people on reddit saying that after a while they lose respect for society ignoring them and both hoarding what ever is available and leaving garbage anywhere just becomes part of their life.

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.

Good that they capped the syringes at least

I have no insights. The soap and shampoo quantities confused me.

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.

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
