On another note - since you brought up the incident where parents called the cops on me

Not that it's any of my business or anything but what did they call the cops on you for?

So what happened was, it was a nice day out (surprisingly) during winter time in February, so I went out to find a park to sit at and read my Naruto manga. But because there weren't alot of benches to sit at, I went to the playground area where kids were playing and the parents were watching cause I figured no one would care that I just casually sat there and read.

Boy was I wrong there.

When it was closing time, there were cops out for whatever reason. One actually wanted to talk to me, so I did as he asked, and he brought up that they got some calls from some concerned parents about my presense which made me a little confused. Thankfully the cops were super friendly and I just did everything as they asked (gave them my id, number, blah blah), and one was curious about the manga I was reading (I just told him it was an old anime I watched when I was a kid). So they just told me to be more careful where I sit and then I went on my way.

I am thankful that the parents didn't lie to the cops and made up stories like "Oh, he tried to kidnap my child!" Or anything like that, but I was pretty embarrassed and angry simply because these (clearly) overprotective parents couldn't just mind their own buisiness and just let me read my book.

But yeah. After that day, I haven't been back to that park since.

Jeez... Sensitive people these days. That's just scary.

I mean, I can understand why parents were concerned, given that I was by myself without a kid, but even then, I was just minding my own business and if a parent just politely asked me to leave so others don't get a wrong impression, I would have been more understanding.
