Holocene stay out, this isn't a bash the LEO's thread.
So it goes like this. Last night I had to pull an all nighter for a test this morning. Since I had to be on campus all day today, I figured I'd try and catch some sleep after my test and before my lab. Since I have recently discovered the comforts of my ENO hammock, I took it along with me.
I got out of my test and headed to the drill field. I proceeded to locate two suitable trees, string up some nylon webbing and hang my hammock. I promptly got comfortable and fell asleep. About two hours later I heard a voice from above me.
"Excuse me sir"
As I stumble out of slumber "Yes?"
"What are you doing?"
"Well I... I had an all nighter last night and was catching some sleep after my test before my next class. Is there a problem?"
"Well you aren't allowed to hang you're hammock here. It is unusual and potentially disturbing. It could freak some people out and since April 16th is coming up we're trying to keep that to a minimum. You understand what I mean?"
"Not really, I was just sleeping officer. But if you feel I need to take it down that's no problem."
"I'd appreciate it if you did. We just don't want people getting uncomfortable and this is very unusual and has the potential to cause some commotion."
"No problem sir, I'll take it right down."
At least the officer had good timing, my buddy was walking up as the officer was leaving. We were about to go to lunch anyway.
Now my gripe is this. Where did I pose any threat or cause some kind of unease? What threat did I convey? I know it's slightly unusual but people nap on the drill field all the time, just not in hammocks.
For those not familiar with the hammock, here is what it is:
So I was strung up in the middle of campus on that. What threat did I pose? I'm so confused... I've written a letter to the newspaper and plan on contacting someone higher up to talk about it. But jesus...
