> [@Wheelz](#): > > But here’s another thought – Is it possible that someone actually\* is \*hearing the noise they’re describing and mis-attributing it to your home? How close are the quarters we’re talking about here? Could this whole thing just be a misunderstanding? My thought exactly. I own a NYC apartment and I am president of the board as well, so I get all the complaints. My upstairs neighbor told me two or three times that her new next door neighbors were haing violent domestic disputes…I am also the person that interviews and approves new owners and tenants…she was coming down on me for approving them. I told her that they seemed very nice and mature during the interview and she should call the police if it happened again, I felt that any fight would’ve been an anomaly and the young couple would be embarrassed enough to never do it again. A month our so later I asked her for an update and she said…“Oh, it wasn’t them, the autistic kid across the hall was screaming and I misheard where it came from.” I was furious, I thought since she had slandered this nice young man and his pregnant wife to not only me but to other tenants and she never felt that she should go back and correct herself. On another occasion, I was in my apartment and I heard voices outside of my next door neighbor’s door ( the doorways are so close the doormats overlap and a knock at their door sounds often like it’s coming from mine). The voices were discussing whether they should break down the door. I opened my door and found two policeman, they told me they were responding to a domestic violence complaint. They asked me a few questions and were much relieved when I told them that the apartment was occupied by a mother and son ( not a couple ) and that I had been home all day and hadn’t heard a peep. Again, I suspect the autistic kid upstairs. ---

> [@LurkerInNJ](#): > > Officers have to respond to calls, and peering in to your place is standard. Your psycho ex could be holding a gun, it could be a setup, anything at all really. They don’t have a gazing ball to stare into on their way over to show that you are just two people on a couch, minding your own business. They don’t want to be ambushed and they also don’t want to be explaining to their bosses how they answered a noise or domestic dispute call at your place, and two hours later one of you is now dead on the floor. Absolutely. If the police ignore the call or don’t take it seriously and it transpires that somebody was beaten or killed, there will be huge repercussions for them. ---

> [@Imago](#): > > Look, I know we both look gay, but that does not mean it’s with eachother you fuckbag. We don’t need to hear your voice dripping with revulsion as you go “You _both_ live here, right?” like you’re expecting us to say, “Yes, and we scissor twice a day.” Officer Fag-hater, immediately after you inform us that the noise complaint was for what the neighbours called “banging and shouting” we do not need your pig ass to ask us, word for word, “You weren’t having a domestic dispute, were you? Were you throwing plates at eachother?” You know what I should have done? I should have put on a shocked face and been like “Why would I be having a domestic dispute with my half-sister?!” THAT would have showed you to assume shit, you homophobic cocksucker. > . We had to call the police a couple weeks ago. A person got out of their van which then rolled across the street and hit our fence. The person retrieved their van, went into the bodega on the other side of the street and then left the scene. Luckily, the manager at the store witnessed everything and got a license plate number too. Wen the police came, my partner and I explained that we both lived at the house but weren’t home. The officer’s default was “brothers, right?” Uh, no. We didn’t default to ZOMGHOMOPHOBICFREDPHELPSBIGOT!11!!!2!@ We just thought it was a quick and basic assumption with no malice intended whatsoever. ---

It’s possible **Imago** is flying off the handle, but I’m not really seeing it, and based on the circumstances I’d forgive an overreaction. The existence of the police + the presumption of sexuality. The point made was that a presumption of lesbianism does not a bigot make. ---
