I was threatened by an off-duty cop.

And he wouldn’t admit it if he did. Capiche?

The next time the cop comes around your place, throw your bed bug riddled mattress at him. As the flesh eating creatures surround him and consume his still writhing body, he’ll realize he shouldn’t have fucked with you and your mob connections.
Then take pictures of the scene and tape it to your neighbor’s door, and with a rusty pocketknife scratch “YOU’RE NEXT” on the woodwork.

Dude. And then the neighbor can contribute to Passive Aggressive Notes and win the internet.

Devil’s advocate:

Knock-knock.
-What’s the problem here?
-It’s my f’n neighbors! This is the f’n 10th g-d time I’ve called you guys and nothing gets done!
-Can you tell me the specifics?
-They’re too f’n loud, how many times do I have to explain it to you guys?
-Can you lower your voice please? Tell me what kind of noise it was?
-No, I will not lower my voice! You guys are useless! If they won’t shut up I won’t shut up! Are you going to do anything or not?
-Well, I need some specifics, and need to hear for mysel…
-Just what I thought. You ain’t gonna do sh*t.
-Look, if you don’t calm down I’m going to smack your head against the concrete. Now, do you want to cooperate with me so I can attempt to help you?
-Are you threatening me? I’m going to have my neighbors AND you thrown out of this building! Do you hear me?! I have rights!
-Good night sir.

He may be in a (seriously fucked) situation like me.

If I call the cops due to noisy neighbors/drunken parties in the street, the cops tell me that, since it is in an apartment complex, there’s nothing they can do short of an outbreak of violence. They tell me to report it to the property manager/complex management.

The property manager and her reps. tell me to call the police, and get it documented. Otherwise there’s nothing they can do.

My lease is up in March. I’m outta there.

Right.

Almost exactly right, except the cop was the one who said that both parties were gonna get evicted.

Please avoid personal insults.

What?!! A humorous story with the closest thing being a person insult is “bed bug riddled mattress”. How is that a person insult?

So you’re saying you were beligerent and rude to the rent-a-cop?

The statement implies that the person and his mattress are bug-infested, lacking basic hygiene.

I’ll admit it’s not a particularly vicious insult, so I didn’t give an official warning – just a reminder to eschew personal insults.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Making references to months-old threads is off limits now?

Believe it or not, I don’t follow Bosda’s adventures all that closely.

Well, I walked right into that one, didn’t I?

You’re missing out!

No.

Wait a minute.

You said Hampshire’s devils advocate post was a pretty accurate description of your interaction with the cop.

Crap like that may fly in Rudesville, USA but in the south you act like that and even a priest will be tempted to kick you in the nuts.

So, was it accurate or not ?

Why’d you bring it up since you are seemingly unwilling to discuss it?

You must be joking. :rolleyes:

Bosda - you’re not making a lick of sense in this thread. The post you said was an accurate reflection of your conversation would suggest that you were being a total ass to the rent-a-cop.

So why don’t you tell us what happened so that we can try to help you out?
