QOTD #2

I'm thinking of situations in your neighborhood, but obviously this could really apply to any circumstance.

    Ever called the police on someone? No, I did call the fire dept once when my idiot neighbor started a fire in his garage of a 12 unit building.

    Ever had the police called on you? My mom called once when I didn't call fast enough when I flew back to law school.  I was like, "Mom, I'm sure the Newark, NJ police have more to do than track down your daughter who didn't call you fast enough."

  • We've never called the cops on anyone, but our elderly neighbor in the apartments we used to live in called the cops on my christmas party!  I was pissed.  We weren't even being loud!  The cops came and told us that we didn't seem to be causing any problems but to try to keep it down. 

    In our new neighborhood there always seems to be some sort of feud between people... Gotta love the neighborhood gossip!

    Ever called the police on someone? Uh yea...I lived in Detroit. lol

    Ever had the police called on you? Not that I'm aware of. My mom & brother had a police officer come to my apartment in Denver to check on me. I didn't know they did that & I didn't answer the door. I was a little freaked out as to why there was a cop knocking on my door.

  • Ever called the police on someone?  I did, not long after we were married and living in an apartment.  The woman above us was a total nutter with lots of obnoxious friends that would stare in our window.  It was disturbing.  Ever had the police called on you? No.

    Ever called the police on someone? There was a crazy driver on the freeway who tried to hit us once.  We called the police on him, only to find out that two other people had always reported the incident as well.  Just yesterday I called the police on some neighbors who are constantly burning random items in their yard.  Apparently other people have been complaining about that too.

    Ever had the police called on you? Not me personally, but a funny story from my childhood is coming to mind.  There were some neighbors across the street from us that everyone in the neighborhood had a problem with.  They let their kids get away with murder, they didn't keep up their property, they threw loud parties and were just crappy neighbors overall.  The kids kept coming over to our house and opening our gate so that our dog would get loose.  One day their mother was getting out of her car and my Mom took the opportunity to walk over and talk to her about the problem.  The mother just denied the fact that her kids were doing it, and was a total B to my Mom.  My Mom walked back over to our house and in the process picked up a rake that was in our yard.  The crazy neighbor lady ends up calling the police and telling them that my Mom threatened her with a rake.  The police came out to our house, and quickly realized that neighbor lady was nuts.  We still tease my Mom about how violent she is, and frequently use the expression "Well why don't you just get your rake out".

    The end.

  • A neighbor was drunk one night and slept in our front yard. This happened more than once, so we called the cops one night and they escorted him home because he was violent when approached.

    Cops got called on us for having a bonfire in high school. We were allowed to burn but the neighbor didn't like people walking around the backyard so he called the cops.

    Ever called the police on someone?No but we should have this past weekend when we were on our way home from airport on Monday early AM. Some driver either was drunk or fell asleep b/c they drove up onto the shoulder and then onto the embankment then headed right for our lane. Scary!

    Ever had the police called on you? Nope. Thank goodness [knock on wood hopefully never will either]

  • Ever called the police on someone? not yet but we've only lived here a year, it's still way too early LOL

    Ever had the police called on you? One of the neighbors last year reported us to the ordinance police because we had bricks in OUR driveway. We are building a retaining wall in the front so DH got them on clearance last fall and obviously couldn't do the wall in winter. So the ordinance cop came by and looked at them and pretty much laughed and went on his merry way.

  • Ever called the police on someone? Twice, both times were drunk drivers

    Ever had the police called on you? No.

  • Ever called the police on someone?  Yes, I called the non-emergency line a year or 2 ago when we were in Knoxville. We lived in a condo association and the neighbors 2 doors down were blasting music at 4am on a Wednesday and I couldn't sleep. I realize I could have went down there and asked politely before calling the cops but they were the biggest WT people in the world and I didn't feel like dealing with them.

    Ever had the police called on you?   Yes, when I was 17 I threw a party at my mom's house when she was out of town and I am pretty sure my neighbors called the cops b/c they came and I got a "house party" ticket for being too noisy. We lived on a road dirt on 4 acres, WTF. Stupid neighbors. At least I didn't get an MIP though!
