I feel like sleeping on the sidewalk?

Question

I have the strong inclination to sleep on the sidewalk tonight. Probably a block and a half into the downtown area as opposed to right in front of my building, as a few of my neighbors might recognize me. Has anyone done this and how did it turn out. Do you think the pigs will remove me before I get a good night's sleep?

Answer 1

Love the avatar Willster.....Hey...I say if William wants to sleep out on the sidewalk, then damm-it! Will shall do what Will wants to do!

Answer 2

Grab some newspaper and hit the concrete.  Sounds like a blast.  Sweet dreams.

Answer 3

Buy a tent and say you're camping.  Put it up in an area and lay down outside it, how can you get in trouble for sleeping outside if you are camping?

Answer 4

Answer 5

What a stupid idea. I think you should do it and enjoy your night in jail.

Answer 6

If I had to sleep on the sidewalk, I'd be less afraid of the police than of whoever else might come along while I was totally defenseless. Anyway, what's the point?  To have the experience--to be able to say, "Been there, done that"?  What about the possibility that you'll be saying it to St. Peter?

Answer 7

I have slept on the sidewalk.  Bring some sort of padding because it is very unforgiving.  The pigs will get you if you are on a busy street so you will need to find cover but other than that you should be fine.  The main issue I had was the frequent mosquito spraying through out the night.
