I'm not kidding and I'm not a troll.

Me and the lady got into a heated discussion tonight, and my phone was running out of money. I told her I was coming to her place to discuss it, and hung up. She didn't send me a message telling me not to come.

I got to her place, knocked on the door and waited. She sent me a message telling me that her sister is home. That's it.

I see the cops roll up to her building, so I leave. Walking home, I see cops around, seeming to be looking for someone. I don't feel I did anything wrong, so I just keep walking my usual route home.

Am I just paranoid? She never told me not to come, and didn't tell me to leave, but she didn't come out either.

So what you are saying is your woman may have called the cops on you after you had a little battle and told her you were coming to see her.

If she did call the cops, you may want to re-evaluate that relationship.

I strongly agree with Joe666.

Your title is misleading. Sounds like your "visit" was unwanted, but you insisted on making the trip. Her not answering the door should have been a clear message. Lingering around and still arguing may be considered harrassment and grounds for arrest. There are two sides to every argument. I'm sure she has her side of the story.

My girlfriend (now ex) called the cops on me once. Get out of that "relationship" and cut her off. Of course knocking isn't illegal, but people can make shit up, especially if you're foreign.

How much do you want to bet that "knocked on the door and waited" actually means "pounded and pounded on the door and screamed profanities at her and her sister"?

I'm not a psycho... I knocked a few times and waited. I didn't want to force myself in or anything like that...

And no, I didn't get my incense. Smile

Maybe the ski mask, rope, and duct tape set someone off?

I think I would put her on ignore for now. And wait and see what happens. Let her make the next move. And maybe just act not interested and boring when she does touch base with you again.

Thanks for the constructive feedback, Robot_Teacher. It's hard not to sound like a psycho in this situation.

Illegal to knock on a door?

Op, from what backwoods college did you manage to get a degree?

Proof positive that Korea will hire ANYONE with a degree from the big six.

Shocked
