I live in a shitty apt complex and my old man neighbor keeps harassing us by ringing our doorbell then running away but the thing is he is a weirdo and watches out the window and specifically does this when he knows I’m gone and my gf is home alone. Half the time he runs away but when my gf tells him to stop he gets super aggressive and starts yelling calling her a fucking stupid bitch and saying shit like she should die or her mom should have killed her. He first started by opening his door every time my gf would come in or out of our place and be like “hey girl” and watch her coming or leaving from out his window
We’ve tried talking to his partner who works and is gone a lot and we hear her yelling at him all the time but nothing changes, we’ve tried talking to the apt office several times but they say they can’t do anything other tell us to call them every time it happens or file police reports. Well today we called the office because it happened again and the person working there acted all annoyed we were reporting it and got mad at our frustration that they refuse to do anything
i really dont know what to do anymore he’s making her feel unsafe and with the way he’s escalated his aggressiveness its hard to say what he is or isn’t capable of anymore, especially when he knows im not there. I don’t want to get the police involved and I don’t want to beat an old man’s ass because that would just put me in jail
Your area probably has some sort of Department of Aging or some other social agency that supports elderly people. It might be worth making a call to them since this person seems like they might be senile and not getting the support they need.
I would definitely stop answering the door and have something defensive by the door and pepper spray or something else in hand when she leaves the apartment. Hopefully ignoring him helps but if not I would want to be able to defend myself if it came to that.
If he’s like pounding on the door until she answers maybe it would be good to record this from inside your apartment in case you do need the police or something later
we have something defensive by the door but im looking into pepper spray now.
he doesn’t pound on the door he just rings our doorbell a bunch and its one of those thats a loud BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ sound that scares the shit out of one of our cats
Can you remove the doorbell, or better yet, keep it there but disable it the noise, or reduce the volume? You can put a towel over the speaker or something to muffle the sound. Remove the battery from the button if it has one. have people call you when they come instead of ringing.
