Few places nowadays is it legal to lay around & do whatever you want outdoors, usually getting cited for loitering or something.

What kind of shitty place are you living in?

    I always find it funny to figure out that stuffblike loitering isn't something the Simpson invented. It's something americans are not allowed to. But freedom is very important to them

    Loitering laws are mostly just racism.

    The US is a shithole

    I once went to a park sat on a bench and right in front of me was a no loitering sign. It's a park, what else am I going to do?

    That is hilarious (well, sad actually, but you get what I mean). Also kind of reminds of that one politician once saying that "breast are not suitable for small children" in the public breastfeeding debate ...

    Most of those "no loitering" signs only exist to give the police a legal crowbar against homeless people. Realistically if you're just sitting and minding your business nobody will actually come along and eject you.

    I immediately thought of homeless people when I read this. I mean I could probably lollygag a lot of places but if you look a certain way, have long hair, dirty clothes, a few bags with you, you start attracting the wrong kind of attention fast. Often in the nicest places of all. Shittier places leave you alone.
