I'm going to consider mini-padlocking my tent (from the inside when sleeping too) next time.

We did from Friday night, Cosy Camper were giving away free padlocks

The Hell work is going to turn into from Friday.

Not having work, or anything to do because my equipment is bogus and I can't quite afford an upgrade, since I have to start paying my loans back. Le sigh.

Accidentally pulled the head off a chicken today, and dropped the body in surprise, which then did the classic headless chicken thing spraying blood and bouncing madly off every solid object (mainly me) in a 3m radius.

That I was wearing a suit and on my way to a job did not improve matters.

had one of these bodged onto my tent zipper pulls, would've deafened any potential thief. Wouldn't stop them if they just decided to take a knife to your tent (which they did in other instances)

I can sympathize if one is a homeless person, and I've even given to charity at points.
I really do, however, despise those bums who stalk you when they see you making a purchase, or withdrawing from the ATM, giving you some bullshit story so they can get money, go off and feed their drug/alcohol habits (the honest ones tend to just sit against the wall and leave you mostly alone, after all).
Decided to get some food while waiting at the train station, and at the kiosk, while wondering if I should poison my body with a doughnut or some chips (I went with the doughnut, although I got jam on my shirt - fuck), some rash-ridden psycho woman comes up and starts begging/demanding money off me so she could pay for her methadone. The argument became heated, as a polite “No, I have no change to spare” became a “FUCK OFF! You're the one who chose to become a heroin addict; you're the one who must suffer the consequences of withdrawal and paying for alleged treatment. I work to pay for myself, and while I may indulge myself on crappy food that is probably bad for me anyway, that doesn't mean I should give my money away to strangers who feel entitled to it because they live in a desperate situation and here I am throwing change away at a package of fucking diabetes. Well, guess what lady, by doing this I am throwing away money that could be spent on real food, and in a few days, once my rent and utilities are paid, I’ll likely be kicking myself that I wasted my money on a fucking doughnut at the train station instead of letting it accumulate so I have enough for my food budget, which covers all of my square meals; or any other situation where it would have come in handy; none of which involves me giving it away to some drug addict!"
With that I got on the train, ignored her obscenities, and let the diabetes flow through me on the way home.

Sorry, I did not realize that I would go on a rant.

Sugar rush from the doughnut, huh? My kids get like that, too.

Sorry Billy, but I had a bit of a chuckle reading that

Damn Billy, that's some Patrick Bateman shit right there.

I hear ya, something similar happened to me in Newcastle not so long ago, and once again at the train station when I had change in my hand and was buying from the ticket machine and they come up to me then and... argh!

Hard though it may be for everybody else here to believe.... been there, done that but not with a suit on.
