I was feeling a bit antsy and there wasn't a thread yet at 22 past midnight.

Have a great day everyone. May you and the animals of the DT who like sunbathing get some sun.

Can you somehow make the bench unusable? I get that might be considered cruel but you shouldn't be scared in your own home or to be able to step out of it.

It goes against my beliefs - I’m really not a fan of anti-homeless architecture. Unfortunately I don’t want to give him a yoga mat for padding either because that encourages him to use that spot…

There’s a disused flat nearby with a porch he could move to but I don’t think he knows it’s vacant. Also it’s still very close to me :/

It’s not your responsibility to make it a hospitable place for him. You’ve already done the right things to get help for him, and now you need to look after your own safety. Make it unwelcoming for him to sleep there, he may move on if you’re lucky.

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I absolutely don’t want him here. He’s a threat.

It was just awful to watch someone sleeping in that cold. Really stressful even second hand

put poop on it

If he's a drunk he may not notice

Maybe keep stacking Miss Fluffy's poo poos under there until he's gone

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm a drunk and notice poo (usually).

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Yeah but are you a part-time drunk or a full-time one because the full-time ones will piss and shit themselves and still carry on mingling with the public.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

people will tolerate their own but will run from the other poo

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

😂

[–] Cendana@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

As a cat slave, I don't really have a choice here.

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

part-time drunk or a full-time one

That's up for debate :(

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

Oh dear

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

yeah but it's different when it's your own
