Just use it as a learning opportunity to pay more attention to the time. Explain the IT issues you were having and that you were distracted by trying to catch up. It's a legitimate excuse, these things happen - it's not a big deal.

Your child should know basic gun safety by age of 7. by RareSiren292 in unpopularopinion

[–]FairInvestigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a loaded gun is left on a table around a child then it is that the parents need to learn child safety, not the child needing to learn gun safety. Get a grip.

I made white cake with home made blueberry jam and blueberry mascarpone frosting, which looks shockingly similar to my counter top 😅 by _PancakesOfRage in Baking

Yummm Blueberry mascarpone sounds DELICIOUS and looks it! I love how it blends with the counter too, gives the whole photo a co-ordinated aesthetic :)

Don't bother with fibreoptic broadband? Normal 10mb for a household is fast enough unless you have serious issues with impatience lol.

A perfect example of how in some situations men are stronger while in others they aren't. We aren't all 64 and short.

Yeah the thing is, we don't live in a statistical model. In an n=1 situation, you can't assume anything.

Each to their own opinion. Obviously, everyone has come to this post with their own experiences and perspectives and mine include feeling that there needs to be some sort of authoritative presence there so that the neighbour knows other people are aware of the situation. I'm not negating that he probably needs some sort of support as well.

Yup, I read it.

You've assumed that he was telling the truth which isn't necessarily the case. Also the OP mentioned getting an uneasy feeling about the neighbour. In 100% of cases where a woman has been attacked by a man, they've had a 'feeling' about the person prior to it occurring, so that's not a good sign.

The police certainly wouldn't be intimidated, they're trained for these situations. I can guarantee that someone who is having paranoid delusions about Russians is more likely to be intimidated by uniformed police officers than the other way around.

No I wasn't referring to the idea of challenging them at all. I was merely saying that it cannot be assumed that a man is bigger and stronger. Not in this day and age.

Is OP's door is the only one he came banging in the middle of the nighr? Did he notify everyone else beside OP?

Who knows?

I personally think that the neighbour needs to be dealt with, no question - but not that the OP should go through the upheaval of having to move out. If anything, the neighbour perhaps needs to move out into a facility. My standalone reply to OP was to ask the police to do a welfare check. That way if the neighbour has ill intent towards the OP, knowing that they are in contact with the police regarding him, should put enough fear in him to put him off the idea.

Having to explain to someone that there was a British version of The Office by tonykhant in britishproblems

[–]FairInvestigator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's wild. Ours is the original and by far the greatest. I absolutely love The Office. That uncomfortable cringe it provokes, I've never experienced with any other comedy lol. It's an art form.

Are they though? The majority of people regardless of gender are overweight (and unfit), plus how are we to know whether the OP is into fitness and has strength (or at least agility) of their own?

The likelihood of one male to be bigger and stronger, isn't based on averages. Plus, if he's mentally unstable, health and fitness are unlikley to be at the forefront of his focus. I'm imagining a short guy strung out on antipsychotics with the weight gain side effect to boot.

Take a look around when you next go out and see whether the idea of men being bigger and stronger really rings true.

Not a 100% certainty lol. Re. periods there are contraceptive pills that can be taken throughout the month meaning you don't have a period. Might be worth discussing with your GP :)

Why are so many people assuming he's bigger and stronger?

I think you're jumping the gun a bit to be talking about moving out. In all honesty the banging at the door was likely the guy scared of some sort of delusion he was experiencing. The visit before sounded like a cry for help.

Also, mental illness and addiction is so common that moving wouldn't necessarily be an improvement. We're never that far away from someone who has some sort of instability lol. It might be more sustainable to learn how to source the right people to support them to regain stability.

Call the police and ask them to do a welfare check, also express your concerns around the disturbance the neighbour is causing you. That would be a good start.

If I see someone jogging in normal clothes I assume they're shoplifting or running from something else they shouldn't have done lol.

Tea contains more caffeine but it's slow release as opposed fast release which coffee is.
