I had a neighbor once who hated both me, the gal who lives in the apartment on the other side of her and the gal who lived under her. She once reported us for allegedly painting swastikas on her door and the police came to talk to us.
How nice! I lived in a government social housing building one time where management had obligation to take in a certain percentage of 'hard to house' people, ie persons with mental health issues and supposedly taking their medications properly. Not always. To make a long story short that policy was rescinded. Yes, there were people there who were like the neighbor you had trouble with.
She is a Russian immigrant and thinks the world owed her something. She found out that she couldn't pull off that stuff when she grabbed me by the front of my shirt during an argument and I had her arrested. Years have passed, she and I are now on passable speaking terms, but those first years were awful.
I guess not. They even had me walk all the way in to town to the police station (over a mile) to be ... uh ... "interviewed" for an armed robbery I inadvertently walked in on; and then I had to walk back home in the dark (they claimed there were no officers available for transport)).
The Sheriff, however, paid me a visit for carrying a baseball bat while talking to an a$$h*** (every other word form that officers mouth was curse word).
Not myself. But my husband has. They pulled him over cause his vehicle and description matched a bank robber. He told them they had the wrong guy, he was just on his way to work. Rhe officer was nervous and pointing his gun. My husband asked him to cuff him so they could talk. He cuffed him but said I cannot let you go...you match the description. Shortly afterwards, the officer was informed that they caught the actual bank robber.
