No kidding. No *hit on your shoes in my car either! That would be pretty barfy. I have plastic shopping bags for emergencies like that. I like the way they leave notes for one another. :) That is sad the way they can go into that place and sleep. I cannot imagine what it is like at night, crawling with God knows what.
There were no real clues (for me) as to what this place was all about, but I can tell you, crawling through that itty bitty window would be out of my wheelhouse. It's that step down that will kill ya.
I manage to get lots of other types of junk on my shoes, but shit is going a little far. Those grubby thin sleeping bags are not going to keep you warm.., it's almost zero here right now.
I have boots that I use to muck out the horses' stalls and even though it is something that comes with the territory, every time I get fresh horse manure on the bottom of them, I scrape it off and chuck the boots aside for a bit. It was a whole lot grosser when I was walking through the field barefoot and had it squishing between my toes.
We are unseasonably warm here for some reason. it was 20C for a few days now. Probably the end of the good times I am thinking. I think there is a temperature that would make sleeping in those places look good. Of course, that is easy to say from this side of homelessness.
