> [@Paranoid\_Randroid](#): > > Assuming everything he’s said about the experience is more-or-less accurate, I suspect that what really peeved him – what would have pissed me off, anyway – was the neighbor calling the cops. I mean, yeesh, what a way to waste _everyone’s_ time. Depending on the jurisdiction, the OP might have committed a criminal act requiring an affirmative response by law enforcement. For instance, you’d better watch your step [in parts of South Carolina](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/15/mom-arrested-for-swearing_n_5681837.html). > [@](#): > > According to North Augusta law, disorderly conduct can occur if a person happens to “utter, while in a state of anger, in the presence of another, any bawdy, lewd or obscene words or epithets,” WJBF reports. The South Carolina state law’s definition of the misdemeanor includes “use obscene or profane language on any highway or at any public place or gathering or in hearing distance of any schoolhouse or church.” I guess you’d be safe in North Augusta, SC if you told an annoying person to “fuck right off” while smiling pleasantly. ---
