SCARY.

For the first time since we moved here, I don’t feel safe in our apartment complex. Last night around 3 am, I awoke to a weird knocking on the door. I thought I was hearing things so I listened, but the knocking didn’t stop. I woke up Barry and told him someone was trying to get in our house. By the time he made it to the door, the person was pounding. Barry looked through the peephole and discovered it was a girl, so he opened the door thinking she might be in trouble. She asked to see someone and very politely Barry said, “I’m sorry, that person doesn’t live here.” I heard her snap back at him and ask to see someone else. Once again a little more forcefully, Barry said “that person doesn’t live here”. After that, the girl started shouting, “Angela! Angela!!!” and she tried to shove the door open and push past Barry. He actually had to grab her and throw her out of our apartment. He slammed the door closed and locked it, and she went away… for a couple minutes. We listened and heard loud music coming from a neighboring apartment, they were throwing a party. After we realized what was going on, she came back and started kicking the door and yelling whoever’s name she was looking for. Barry called the cops and told them a stranger had just tried to force their way into our house and the operator told us a cop was on their way. Finally, we heard a man’s voice saying “Do not bust that door down!” She started yelling at him, and he told her that “Angela” and the other people she was looking for didn’t live here. She said, “yes they do!” and he went on to tell her that a young couple lived here. She kept arguing and finally he said they just had a baby, the people you want don’t live there. After he said that, she just walked away. I couldn’t believe it! This woman was sloshed out of her mind, spilled her beer all over our front patio, and left the can right in front of our door. But what makes me the most upset, is that the cops never even showed up. Glad they are working so hard to serve and protect. I suddenly want to buy a gun, some mace, and a taser (haha). But really, I was scared out of my mind.
