Life Was I wrong to call the cops? - Page 3

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?

she's is not a guard dog lol. She just got excited but I put her in her room but she wasn't barking, just acting excited. I don't know if that's how black labs typically are or not. I would like her to be a little defensive of the home lol.

Bump · 12-10-2012, 06:51 PM

at some point, when I move out of here and have more land I'm going to get another dog that's more aggressive, as long as it gets along with my dog now. I think that will rub off on my dog and once one dog starts barking and acting badass, the other one will to.

No, you were right to call the police.. It was pretty dumb to run out your door with a knife though.

You weren't wrong to call the cops. Lots of home invasions start with some bullshit line like 'I'm a plumber'

That being said, why don't you own a handgun?

**petegz28** · 12-10-2012, 07:59 PM

Firstly, no, you were not wrong to call the cops. This guy may be doing this elsewhere and if so the cops need to know he was at your house, in your neighborhood, etc.

Secondly and more importantly, buy a mother ****ing firearm!

That's a landshark encounter if I've ever heard one. Better upgrade your knife to a harpoon.
