Whoa Sarah Ann, your neighbourhood is exciting! Good for you for a kick in the dangly bits...no less that Mr. C. deserved.
Last summer we had a conflab with our neighbs, 12.30 midnight we're sitting out back talking, my Mum and her man were over here and we hear all this yelling out front...I went upstairs into my son's room to find him awake and looking out his side window... the neighbour was staggering up and down his pathway yelling obsenities at the top of his lungs...we watched for a while and he kept banging on his front door, so we thought maybe he'd locked himself out...Hannah was awake by then too, so I woke Dave and asked him to go out and see what all the fuss was about.
He went out and asked the neighb, also Dave, what was up and neighb boy, got all bolshie and kept telling or trying to tell my Dave not to cross his threshold, it was quite funny as he was so piddled he couldn't say thershold, so said line instead after a couple of stumbles with the word. Dave told him he needed to quiet down and go indoors and he was still yelling obsenties at the door, his bloody great rottie was barking and howling from indoors and then he started to swing for Dave who dodged which wasn't hard as neighb was so drunk...I called the police then and we came back into our driveway.
The cops made me laugh as they parked by the side of my house and crept around to the front of our house with their guns drawn and torches, neighb boy was rolling and crawling through his front bushes by this time, swearing and thrashing about, and the cops asked us where he was...they wanted to surprise him with using torches, but as they passed my driveway, my sensor light came on and they were flooded in light!
He didn't notice anyway, he was too sh**faced to have a clue, they pulled him out the bushes and asked what he was doing and they called the fire dept and the paramedics, so we had five emergency vehicle out front....and they're not quiet in the middle of the night... neighb boy then started throwing up all over the cops and paramedics, and finally his girlfriend opened the front door... and asked what was happening? She told the cops that she thought he was upstairs asleep....turns out, he'd had a few pops at her and chased her out front, but she was quicker than him and got back inside and locked him out.
I don't know why she didn't call the police herself, she was really scared and had horrible bruises the next day, she had to police take him indoors and he passed out and she had a friend come and take her to her house, bus she came back the next day and asked my Dave to come with her into the house to collect some stuff as she was staying away from him....Dave went with her and neighb boy didn't have a clue what had happened, doesn't remember a thing...she didn't press charges against him, although she could have and he'd have woken up in jail the next day...she came back to him about two weeks later, and they say hi, if we see them out front, but they're a little too weird for my liking and I think he's still mad at us cos I called the police...but I'd do it again, so kudo's to you Sarah...and I also think the wife should have given you a lot more than flowers to thank you, but at least you got an appology....that's something at least...keep us posted.
By the way, it rained this morning, first time in about five months, was lovely to see little rain drops hitting the pool....humid as anything though, monsoon season is upon us
Have a good one all....
for your interview lou!
