Life Was I wrong to call the cops? - Page 10

Bump · 12-10-2012, 05:56 PM

Really strange thing just happened.

So I'm sitting here lurking CP and Reddit. It was about 6:30 pm at the time.

My doorbell rang. People around here always go door to door and it's always an annoying foreign person trying to get money (often french, sometimes asian), so I didn't want to answer the door and I chose to ignore it since I'm not expecting anybody. I keep forgetting to get a no soliciting sign to put on my door.

Well then this guy starts ringing the doorbell over and over and over and over and over and then he starts banging the door really loud over and over and then more ringing the doorbell. It seemed really aggressive.

Mind you, I just watched Batman The Dark Knight Rises like 2 days ago. And without even knowing it, I yelled in a very loud batman voice WHO IS IT???

he yells PLUMBER in a loud manner and he sounded mexican, just to paint a picture.

I yell, I DIDNT ORDER A PLUMBER

The problem with the way my house is, I can't see from any window who is at the door. I have to do downstairs and open the door to see who it is. So I didn't know who the **** is out there and I didn't order any plumber.

So after I yelled "I DIDNT ORDER A PLUMBER!!" he starts banging the door and jiggling the door knob. So I'm like holy shit, this guy is trying to get in my house. I grab my knife and yell "I DIDNT ORDER A PLUMBER, SO LEAVE"

and he continues to jiggle the door knob and he's saying something that I can't make out. And continues to ring the door bell and bang on the door.

So I yell I'M CALLING THE POLICE

he continues to bang the door and jiggle the door knob for about another second and then disappears. Because at that point, my adrenaline is pumping and I already called the police so I march outside with my knife because at that point I want to see who the **** it is and why are they trying to get in my house. No sign of anybody.

There is a plumber van outside the door parked on the street, a reputable company. But nobody there.

He probably had the wrong house, but what kind of plumber keeps banging the door like that?

I told the cops, I don't know this just seemed really really off. They were like that's okay, thats what we are here for and they looked in the van but nobody in there and mentioned they wanted to speak to the plumber.

20 minutes later I hear the van start up and it drives off.

****ing weird.

Everything points to a complete misunderstanding except why did the guy keep banging the door, jiggling the door know and ringing the doorbell after I already told him to leave? Who does that?

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

Get a gun Son, don't dial 911

PGM · 12-11-2012, 07:55 AM

Damn Faider fans trying to break in and get yo weed!!!

WhiteWhale · 12-11-2012, 07:55 AM

After the weed wore off he finally remembered calling that plumber.

PGM · 12-11-2012, 07:57 AM

I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens

Predarat · 12-11-2012, 08:02 AM

That is creepy knocking loudly and trying to break the door knob off like he did, that is forced entry. Especially after you told him you did not need a plumber and to go away. In the good states you would be able to kill him to death, especially if he had successfully broke in, not so much the wussy bad states.

R8ers · 12-11-2012, 08:10 AM

Why don't this kind of shit ever happen to me?

You need indoor plumbing first.

The solution to all of this is to own a Sword. Preferably a Longsword. Maybe dual wield those bad boys. To combat a gun, use a shield to get in range and then cut him up with your longsword.
