A Little Shaken Up

Tweet

I'm unaccustomed to vitriol, so today when someone knocked on my front door and started calling me a "b****", I was taken aback. I wasn't going to answer the door with that kind of behavior, so I just sat in my living room and listened to my neighbor yell threats at me. I looked out the peephole and saw who I thought was my neighbor in the apartment next to me. She went back to her place, but came back later. I was in the bathroom at the time, but when I got out I went to the front door, but she was gone. A little while later I decided to go over and see what was going on. There was a guy about to go into that apartment, so I asked him if someone in his apartment had been trying to get me to come to the door. He said he didn't know, he was just getting home. So he opened the door, and asked the girl if she was trying to talk to me, and the girl came out. Apparently, she thought I called the cops on her last night. I didn't call the cops on her. I heard the commotion that prompted someone to call the police, but it wasn't me. It was a huge fight, and there was screaming, and just a lot of noise. But they have always been good neighbors to me, so I when I heard it I just went back to sleep. I guess not everyone did the same thing. I'm still kind of shaken up. I've never been around anyone who would behave that way. She said she had gotten drunk last night, and she apologized for what she had said through my door. She and her boyfriend have never been anything but nice to me. They are both probably in their mid twenties. I like them, and I guess I still do. But it was very disconcerting to experience the whole thing. Anyone go through anything similar? By the way, before I went over there I got my phone, hit the record button, and made sure to tape the whole thing. In case something bad happened I wanted proof that I hadn't done anything wrong. I still have no idea why they thought it was me who called the police.
