NPI= no pun intended.
So I was walking Eva around the development today. She was sniffing some grass in an unfenced yard when an old man burst through his back door and started shooing us away.
He kept repeating something about getting "off his property", "hate to have to report you", "bylaws", etc.
And I was like, "sir, she's not on your property, and besides she doesn't go to the bathroom on walks". Which was true. All she had done was sniff his grass. And she hadn't gone to the bathroom on a walk since she was 4 months old, of her own choice, I didn't train her not to. But I always keep a newspaper bag on me just in case.
Well, he started raising his voice. Eva's only 7 months, she's still a puppy, and him raising his voice got her excited and she tried to run towards him, ending up on his precious grass (OH NOES), and then apparently everything I said fell on deaf ears.
"OFF MY YARD! I'D HATE TO HAVE TO REPORT YOU! I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE! LEASH BYLAWS!"
"Dude, good for you. She's not soiling your property, she's not digging any trenches, she DOESN'T go to the bathroom on walks and all she did was SNIFF!"
And he just kept mumbling the same thing over again!
So now that I'm raising my voice, Eva's hackles go up around her back and shoulders, and I'm like "well she doesn't like you, either. You tell 'im, girl."
So we reach the end of the road and cross over to the other side, heading back in the opposite direction, passing the old man's house, and HE'S STILL STANDING THERE, staring at us!
So I say, "you don't have to keep looking. No offense, but it's kind of creepy, an old man watching a 19-year-old girl."
And he keeps going on and on. Repeating again, "report you, blah, bylaws, blah, know where you live, blah, on my yard, blah! (Oh, something that hasn't been said already), do you even have a bag to pick up it's mess?"
So apparently the last couple times, he didn't hear me because of the wind, so I shout accross the road as loud as I can, "SHE DOES NOT GO TO THE BATHROOM ON WALKS."
And then he mumbles something like "I'd like to see that", and then goes back into his house.
Honestly, I'd love it if he would call and report me. I'll report him back for stalking (watching me obsessively and saying that he knows where I live even though we're on two different parts of the development) and harrassment (I'm on the other side of the street and he's still arguing). All I have to say is that he caused me severe mental distress.
You want trumped-up charges? Let's duke 'em out, old man. My trumped-up charges will own your trumped-up charges.
