another interaction i had with homeless people was when i was fresh out of high school and working at a furniture company. im from the chicago area but indiana side so its technically chicagoland but not considered the burbs either. anyways, we had a few junk semi trailers in the back that wed throw furniture removals in for random people to take at their own risk. occasionally wed get homeless people sleeping back there, which if they stayed hidden, no one would care.  once while we were doing a load up for a customer in the back, this homeless guy kept yelling at me and my coworker and the customer. so after the customer left and our store office called the cops, he got really mad. so it turned into a parking lot rock fight until the police got there and he was properly irate at that point.  another time it was pretty much the same situation, homeless person annoying or harassing us and customers, so i gave a m80 to a roofer guy on the roof to throw and he ended up tossing it way closer than him or we anticipated and probably blew up 3-6 feet from this homeless guys head. ive never seen anyone jump up like that from a dead, probably fent induced sleep like that in my entire life
