I have. I was 21 at the time and had been evicted from my apartment for "having a pet". It wasn't mine. It was a cat I'd borrowed from a friend for 3 weeks to get rid of the mice the landlord refused to get an exterminator for. After the 3 weeks were over there didn't seem to be any more mice so I returned the cat to his owner with many thanks (after said cat had left a number of "offerings" buy my bed and on the rug). Nonetheless, I was homeless, crashing on one couch after another and wondering where I was going to sleep next while perusing the want ads for someplace to rent. I was also working at the time. I finally found a tiny place, third floor walkup, about 6m x 3m I would guess, with a shared kitchen and bathroom, but at least it was mine and I didn't have to worry about where I would sleep. Yeah, I was kinda depressed when I was homeless for those 6 weeks, but I was NOT mentally ill, nor was I at all violent nor a criminal.
Blow it out your ear, Eloon!
