Glad you hooked him up. If anyone else is having problems with harassment and sleeping in your cars around cities I can say go to Walmart parking lots, planet fitness lots, or any trailhead, truck stop and you will pretty much always be left alone and unbothered. Hope it helps
I'm actually currently homeless and sleeping in a van. I just got a job a week ago at an amazing local retail/glass store and it's a constant fear of mine that they will find out I'm homeless. I was denied a job at a sandwich place after I confessed I was homeless "because if a customer saw you outside brushing your teeth and then working in my store they would never come back."
I'm well kept I think, I brush my teeth and do laundry. Deodorant and nice clothes with some cologne. I'm don't do hard drugs and I've kept my alcoholism in check(why I'm currently living on the streets, bad choices).
I rotate spots to park but the best spot is literally right behind where I work because the signage there allows for it and it means I can easily get to work. I'm super cool with the ticket guy and he understands my situation and that I'm working now. But when ever a coworker parks behind here in this lot I duck down and hide and I'm just scared of being found out then fired.
I don't think my boss would fire me as she's amazing along with my coworkers, they are all understanding. But still. It does suck sometimes. I'm happy with my situation, and I've never felt better having this freedom. But the social aspect keeps my anxiety from dwindling. It's a constant thought in my head.

Simple decency. I'm a little sad that seeing this is so rare it had me grinning...
