My window blinds are busted. To open and close them, I have to turn the bar with pliers. I'd love to replace them, but there are so many other things that need fixing around the house.
Around 9 PM PST, I hear a tap on my window. I thought it was my roommate, so I pushed aside the blinds. Gun. In. Face.
It was the police. He asks in a tone of a pizza delivery driver "You call the cops?". I said no, they turned around and went to the front house.
bless'ed scary man.
I just stayed in my house. I don't really care for interacting with the police, and I had already had my adrenaline spike for the month.
-
bizarre? thats scary as golly. good thing he didn't have a twitchy finger.
-
For sure.
-
Gun. In. Face.
I'd pee in my pants.
-
I think my roommmate talked to them, I was putting the dog in the bathroom. Cops + dogs = heartbreak.
-
You have a dog? What kind?
-
I think I posted a picture of her around here somewhere, but she is an Australian Shepherd.
-
My neighbor had one but she killed it by over feeding it.
-
I would have had to ask them WTF and watched them until they left the neighborhood.
-
Hi.
Weird bit to me is that you said no, and they just went: "Okay", and walked away.
Did you find out what they were there for?
-
I might not have overtly reacted but my heart would have jumped out my throat.

Yeah, that is odd behavior for cops.
-
Welcome to the party, megamarkd. It's good to see you around.
-
8ully, that's just bizarre. I can't imagine such behavior on the part of a cop, unless he thought he was pursuing an armed, dangerous suspect into your apt. Otherwise, knocking on your window with a gun seems like really unprofessional and inflamatory behavior.
And megamarkd, great to see you here.

Like I said, I'm pretty sure my roommate talked to them while I was stashing the dog in the bathroom, but that was my entire conversation with the officer.
As to the dog, that's horrible but I could see it happen, my dog will eat anything put in front of her.
[Update] Apparently the up front neighbor isn't just crazy, she's litigious! One day while washing the dog in the yard, I heard yelling, so I walked out front to see what the commotion was. The argument broke up pretty quick, but I heard crazy lady say "We'll see what my lawyer thinks about this."
Apparently, anyone she gets mouthy with is served with a restraining order. I thought there was a burden of proof applied to restraining orders, but apparently this madam gets em like candy.
Apparently she wasn't paying her rent, and served her roommate with a restraining order.
Brilliant bless'ed plan.

OH I don't do well when cops wake me up.
Neighbors. I get it.
Man, I wish I could spill incidents on here like you, usually I am in some sort of fray though, put on either unintentionally, or without my consent and honestly, I am embarrassed to talk about my shortcomings. It's a problem I've had for awhile.
One thing about you is, 8ully, the incidents in your life are usually not shortcomings on your part, I don't really see you fall short of much.
-
Bea, I think that this problem, whatever it is, might be better placed in a private section of this site. We are concerned for you. Why not move this topic there?
-
No concerns are suited for me. Don't worry, please.
Most things I can handle, and otherwise have a pretty good support system of friends and family to help me get through the rough times.
I'd like to talk to you about it Six, personally. I honestly just hate typing out messages about my life's problems, I'm more of a talker and listener.
No need to move the thread for me, it's really on 8ullfrog, I didn't mean to interrupt. I don't really want to go into topics like he does, I sometimes just need something to answer to. Another reason why this fine website has helped me.
