asshats - gotta love them

2:30 am Sunday:

*honk* *honk*

*honk* *hooooooonk*

*honk* *honk* *hooooooonk*

WTF?

i blearily look out my window and there is a chevy cavalier sitting in the middle of my parking lot.

*hooooooonk*

grumbling i get up put on some flannel pants and a shirt and walk downstairs to the door. ren was woken and does the same.

opening the door i walk towards the car. arriving at the car, i say, "are you defective or something? it's 2:30 in the morning!"

window rolls down and there is a little thug chick with the mouth of a trucker. out of the passenger seat steps out a skinny guy in his late teens, early 20s. they decide it would be better to argue with us than to leave the parking lot.

the little thug girl starts to get up into ren's face as the skinny punk threatens me with physical violence, clearly an empty threat as he won't come within 5 feet of me. the yelling match has begun, the little chihuahua starts barking obcenities at my wife and ren starts yelling back. her scrawny boyfriend starts getting up into ren's face as well.

i go inside and grab the phone and dial 9-1-1.

"9-1-1 emergency services, please state the nature of your emergency"

"hi, there is an incident occurring at ... i am afraid there may be some physical violence", as i am glancing out the door at the punks invading my wife's personal space.

the dispatcher is calm in the situation and directs me to get my wife indoors.

"this is a public parking lot", spouts the lanky guy

"no, this is private property", replies ren. at that moment, my next door neighbor slides her window open, now awake to the commotion.

"it's private property!" she yells from her second-floor bedroom. "get their license plate number!"

i give the dispatcher the licence plate number and the details of the silver cavalier with red door panels. the noise continues as i have ren go inside. in the meantime, the guy had gone to my neighbor, laurie's house and starts ringing the doorbell.

shortly after, two cruisers pull up and i walk out to meet the two officers. i explain the situation and they walk over to the parked car. another girl pops out of theback seat of the car. she hadn't said a thing during the whole time.

"officer! i witnessed the whole thing!"

the officer, directs her to get back into the car.

the arrogant guy starts to arugue with the officers and one of the officers replies, "i don't care why you're here, you are causing a disturbance! if you want to get somebody at this time of the night, you get out of your car and use the doorbell."

the punk starts to dare the cop to arrest him and lights up a cig and exhales in the officer's face. this goes on for another couple of minutes; finally the door to my neighbor's condo opens and out comes a young man, hair disheveled. he quietly walks to the car and gets into the back seat, not saying a word. the thug girl and punk guy get into the car and leave.

the cops come back to my door to make sure we were ok.

one of the last thing the cop says to me is, "if they come back and pull that shit again, feel free to smack the shit out of him."

the cop was *pissed* at the punk who had just left. they ended up sitting in their cruisers for a while to make sure the cavalier didn't come back.
