The above header is something some San Frncisco " cleaning up "-type said to me this morning , 100% the actual words , syntax , or very close to it anyhow , this morning .
I was in an (all-concrete , on a " nice " strech of Mission Street where there's art gallery/ies and the like .)
I was sitting in it , 100% not blocking anyone , we'd had words before that morning in...

Were you sitting on the ground?

Do you look homeless?

I am often in parks, either skateboarding or using kids play equipment for doing workouts. I always fear this happening to me, people get pushy and weird getting their kids onto stuff I am clearly in the middle of using. And of course what kind of monster would I be to make kids wait their turn. But at times it really seems parents drag their kids over just to oust me outta there.

If the guy ain't bothering anybody, people should mind their own business.

...(continuing exactly from where I left off) front of a 7-11 down the street , where , after getting my stuff I went to a (I emphasize here) not-walked upon by most pedestrians strecth of the sidewalk near the road , he had bothered me over my sitting & eating on that non-used portion , he had even called a cop (who didn't really bug me when I said I'd leave after eating , which I did , tho I had planned to stay there and read/cull my excessive amount of newspapers for a longer time )
.
Well , now sitting in a clearly allowed seat space in this parklet , 100% not blocking the pedestrian stream , he , in reply to my " This is a public park " , said " It's not for people like you , sir " , or similar - I did somewhat water down my " noble gentle homeless martyr " status by yelling/cursing at him a bit - He made some vague (probably realizing he'd gone too far in his words) " Do you want me to call the HOT Team ? " or similar (A " helping HL " street team in SF) , I said not from him , later left after enough time had passed/he was far enoughaway...
Later on , at 12:15 PM , guards kept me from going into this here Main Library , saying I had too many bags and wasn't clean enough - The lunchtime guards here are it seems inclined to sometimes crack down .
Later on , presuming (correctly ?) them off , I came back and got in , as now .
Yes . I am VERY " homeless-looking " .
Just thought I'd cry/self-pity .

...I am really out of money now , and I am really min pain , a lot , when I walk it is truly limiting my tgetting round...To rather repeat what I said in Seattle , even if I could not stay with anyone , if I could arrange ~ with people's help ~ an " adequate/passable " shelter stay , as I've outlined , I could - maybe- try to do medical...and try to talk to the CCSF people about what I could , possibly , do to be in the position to go to CCSF in the Winter semestrer , anyway - If I could get some help in transportation , getting around to important appointments , as well as setting them up ~ Please ?

...Basically , I think I could make progress on things that would be seen as " improving myself/getting myself out of this situation " - IF I COULD GT SOME HELP ON LIFTING MYSELF UP/GETTING INTO A FAVORABLE POSITION . Please .

...I am in San Francisco , CA , USA now , remember...

...Now I am completrely out of money , really , and I haven't yet eaten this day .
There are some free feeds , but they're rather up hills , for one thing...and MY FEET HURT !

...Hello , after about a weekish , I have acces to a 'puter again - I want to talk about bad things , and good things , which have happened to me - And , something conventionally " bad " that could turn to " better " - If I could get some help from fellow Aspies - I will post a new post about it , in the main section(before it gets moved here - I wish there was a " steaming " 'motie visible...) .
