Today, I heard screaming coming from my neighbor's house. Since her husband has a history of abusing her, I called the cops. After they left with him in custody, she called to yell at me because they were "working things out" after "having a few drinks". FML

Today, I heard my downstairs neighbor being beaten by her husband. I anonymously called 911, hoping to help. She must've seen me giving the cops my statement because as soon as they left, she knocked on my door and punched me square in the face while screaming, "Mind your own business bitch!" FML

Today, I had to call the police to get my crazy stalker of a neighbor out of my house. When the police arrived, I found out that she was friends with the officer. FML

Nice neighborhood

Today, I awoke to the sound of my neighbors attacking my car with a baseball bat accusing me of calling the cops on them. I did call the cops on them, after they screamed at me last night, drunkenly, to call the cops for them because they thought they were being robbed. FML

Today, I heard my neighbors having a violent argument in their front yard. I listened in, and soon found out why the wife wasn't happy with her husband. Apparently, she had caught her husband peeking through my windows for the second time this month. FML

Today, I desperately needed to let off some steam at work, so I went outside and screamed obscenities at the top of my lungs, before heading back inside. The police then showed up to investigate complaints of a "raving lunatic" in the area. FML

Today, I punched a drunk woman who kept trying to force herself onto my husband. She turned out to be an off-duty cop. FML

Keep it down

Today, after my old downstairs neighbor, who would come upstairs to bang on my door and yell at me every time she heard a sound from me at all times of the day, had finally moved out, it became clear that my new downstairs neighbor gets drunk and yells at the TV in the early hours of the morning.

Through the wall

Today, I bumped into my next door neighbor. She said, "Not for nothing, but I heard you fighting with your boyfriend last night, you're pretty harsh on him." I don't have a boyfriend, I was just drunk and castigating myself. FML

Not taking it well

By runsinthefamily - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Aurora

Today, my neighbor called the cops on me, claiming I'd threatened him with a gun. Despite zero proof, they took me to the station and gave me hell. I guess what I've learned today is that you should never offend your crazy neighbor by breaking up with his daughter. FML

Cops can't catch criminals

Today, I called the cops on a couple who was fighting outside my window at 4 a.m. They hid in the bushes when the cops came, came back out when they left, and started fighting again. FML

You did the right thing. A couple like that shouldn't work things out yelling over drinks. Chances are they really weren't.

You did the right thing. She yelled because she felt like she needed to justify being with this abusive loser. She'll come around. Thank you for not turning a blind eye.

Time to cut down on the drinks, methinks. I hope the lady appreciates your considerateness in the future, OP.

Screw her. I'm a cop and I tend not to have much sympathy for that type. It's frustrating as hell

Who gives a flying shit? If someone's in trouble or getting assulted by their spouse, we help them. She could have gotten killed or land in the hospital. "Not your business" my ass! What if YOU were in the woman's place and no one helped you?

So if you saw someone have a heart attack in the street or get hit by a car, you wouldn't do anything? You're a waste of oxygen.

coming from a cop, you did the right thing. id much rather deescalate the situation before it turns into a domestic assault.

Don't beat yourself up Op. You did the right thing. If he has a history of abuse and you hear screaming, you call the cops.

Since he has a history of abuse, I don't blame you. 'Working things out' is just the nasty cycle of domestic violence, and could, no doubt, happen again
