Ohhh man reading this post reminds me of a similar incident that happened a few years ago.

I was just chillen in my apartment watching some Naruto when this girl starts yelling at some dude who was two apartments over. The dude comes out and the girl starts beating the crap out of him. She even threw a chair out the door?

I mean, I was minding my own business but, it shit got real. 😂

When I was away at university living in a coed dorm, one of my male roommates had to call the university cops cause there was a domestic violence dispute happening next door (it was the female screaming and throwing pots and pans at her boyfriend with him slamming her against the wall threatening to kill her). They (the university cops) came and sorted it out and told them to separate. Well I then had to call the university cops cause I'm hearing commotion outside my window and it was the same couple. The girl ran outside for him while he was leaving she was screaming begging him not to go, he pushed her, she started punching him, then he picked her up and threw her on the ground. Mind you I was describing all this to the campus police while it happening. The cops came again and had to use the taser on the guy cause he was trying to reach for the officer's gun. Both parties got arrested that night for domestic violence, possession of marijuana, and possession of an illegal handgun (thank God it was not used that night I know I was studying forensics but it was the weekend I needed a break after the week before). And all that was happening at 3 am going on to 5 am. I decided to go home the next weekend to visit family and to clear my head.

Yes several years ago my girls and I were home my wife was out of town visiting sister I heard a commotion out on the porch we were expecting my wife that evening and I assume that was her dragging all her luggage back down so I went open the door upstairs neighbor was laying on her butt on the landing in front of my dorm crying and she started to apologizing immediately anything she decided to bother us and please don't call the police blah blah blah so I agreed not to about 3 hours later 1:00 a. m. my kids were in bed by then but I was watching a DVD I went to change the DVD and I could hear her upstairs still crying and I thought that seemed awfully still be crying 3 hours later so I did call the police. They're right fairly quickly one of them coming to my door to announce that they were there and they let me know if they found out anything well as they started knocking on the door I heard the toilet flush several times I said well I know that I know they're there cuz I heard him flush the toilet when you got here in there cuz they peeked out the window when we started knocking they stayed up in front of that door for at least 3 hours and probably longer finally one of them open the door and after many words they took him to jail to cool off that was the only time I had to check on neighbors that were in a bad way I thought maybe I shouldn't have butt it in but anyway thanks for listening

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

I usually just listen out for key words but I try not get involved or eavesdrop. Sometimes I do just to hear the comedic value of their arguments. I remember one time I’m coming back from the garage at a hotel with bags and I’m passing by this woman. This woman was yelling at her boyfriend saying “if you don’t go back and get my shit I’ll cut your fucking dick off and toss off the roof!”

I honestly couldn’t believe how hard I was laughing and almost felt my legs turned into wet noodles. I struggled up them stairs to my room.

DenizLikesTennis · Answer

I am a super curious person, so yes I do check them out. Once I've witnessed how the ex-husband assaulted my neighbor. She was 21 and a single mother and was crying in the hall. I immediately rushed down to help her out. She wasn't wounded, thanks god. But he messed up her grocery shopping bags that was all on the floor.

So I picked the stuff up and called 911 (In Germany it is 110). She was being thankful and I was proud of myself for being Courageous.

Anyways just in case if you are reading this, I wish you all a great upcoming weekend🤗🤗

MTC29 · Answer

My next-door neighbors are great. The wife works for my insurance agent and her husband is the golf pro at my country club who has helped me with my short-game... he also has a temper, which I've seen a few times.

About once every year the pair have a big fight which moves out of their house and into the driveways with him shouting "I'm sick of your shit." He then drives away while his wife bursts into tears and runs back into their house. The next day, his car is back in the driveway.

I have no idea what sets them off. Both of are physical fitness fanatics so that neither drink- not even a glass of champagne at New Years. They have no brats and don't seem to have money issues. She works full time, cooks and bakes and keeps a neat house, while his job is essentially playing golf all day- nice work, if you can get it!

ohsheeT · Answer

Go through my neighbors that I probably know them pretty well and if it gets loud or if it seems like it's going to get out of hand and go a crazy way yeah I would say hey how long did the doctor say you guys had to do this I would do something smart ass just so they would calm down a little bit and I would probably get the guy's attention and have him come over so he comes down a little bit

dustybiker · Answer

It’s not nosy so much is having their back. We’ve had a lot of bad stuff go down in my neighborhood through the years. I like it when good people put their nose in my business if something is off, I feel safer. At least send out a text asking if they are okay.

Chaser3232 · Answer

Yes, especially if kids live there. Adult are responsible for themselves, as long as no one gets hurt. I do however take them dates and times and how many voices are heard in case I get pulled out, for questioning.
Most stuff, can we pick up my ring cameras I have to throughout my yard and was out of my houseMost stuff, can we pick up my ring cameras I have to throughout my yard and outside of my house. So there’s usually a video.

Massageman · Answer

I will "check it out" for our own safety.

If it gets too loud or threats are made, I call the local police.

There actually IS a home a few doors down on the adjacent street that has a "history"- they're the ones I would not hesitate to report.

Most of the commotion lately has been tree chippers and crews picking up debris from the latest windstorm.

petitedollbabee · Answer

100%. Nothing like a bit of late night entertainment.

Ευδεμονια · Answer

I always check them out. I don’t have to go near them since I live in condominium and I have neighbours from the South (souther Italy, so they love screaming while arguing), so it’s like watching a movie without seeing images.

Dazed0N0Confused · Answer

It depends. I have an infant & if he's awake, I try to keep him away from it. If he's sleeping I grab my phone & have it ready to call the authorities or record the incident of necessary

Yes and no, I take notice long enough to make sure they aren't doing anything stupid where it will effect my property or stuff. Long as it don't effect anything of mine, they are on their own.

NathanDavis · Answer

when in Mexico... this is just very common, lol I'm actually more concerned and feel the need to go check out things when it is quiet and I don't hear a thing... lol

AviatorTom · Answer

Not unless it's obvious that someone is being physically harmed. People argue all the time... it's often a healthy thing to do, to get conflict and disagreement out in the open.

Panzer21 · Answer

Unless its getting especially rowdy I dont care.

I did however watch 2 italians argue at the grocery store once, hand gestures and all, and then a third materialized beside them and joined in. That was too entertaining not to watch.

PJH359 · Answer

At times I do if something sounds overly heated or dangerous. I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt if I were available to intervene.

fonduegirl · Answer

Usually mom gives me the highlights. I only listen if it's either hilarious or some goody two shoes got kicked on the bottom. Otherwise no. Don't care.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

You might say “nosy”, i say “vigilant”. Can’t mitigate a problem you’re unaware of, especially if you choose to ignore it.

Absolutely, if there is something juicy going on I want to know everything about it.

Harbringer26 · Answer

I think I usually just instinctively turn my head or catch a glimpse of the situation just to make sure it's not something volatile. It always feels like that when you abruptly just hear an aggressive argument.

Blackcosmo · Answer
