So, I'm hitting foam golf balls in my court yard like I have been doing the last two days, when I notice the "handy man" from our apartment building power walking towards me.
I think to my self, OK, I guess he is gonna tell me to leave... no big deal. Nope, he starts just being a dick and a half to me right off the bat and normally I would consider him very nice too so this caught me off guard... To keep it short we exchange a few words and he tells me I'm a smart ass. So I say, "It's better to be a smart ass than a dumb ass."
Now he gets nose to nose with me and is about to hit me in the face. I'm like, "Are you really going to hit me in the middle of the court yard?" I bend over pick up my foam golf ball and he kicks me in my arm with his cowboy boot hard and leaves a pretty damn noticeable mark almost looks like a bee sting and drew a little blood.
I start to try and walk away and he keeps following me trying to intimidate me physically since he is a much larger man than I. So, I give him several warnings to leave me alone or I'm calling 911. He doesn't leave me alone so I call 911 because I really thought this guy was going to try and fight me. As I'm calling 911 he still is trying to follow me around and threaten me saying it will be my word versus his word and since I'm young they will never believe me.
So 911 sends an officer out and the first thing the officer tells me when he sees me is, "Ugh, I shouldn't even have to be here right now." I give the cop my side of the story and he goes and gets the "handy mans" side of the story. Cop comes out saying our stories are conflicting and nothing is going to happen. He ask me if I would like a police report, I respond with a yes. He then proceeds to try and talk me out of it several times suggesting that nothing will happen. More like his lazy ass doesn't want to have to do paper work. I did end up doing a police report and we'll see where it goes from there I guess.
The reason this upsets me is because if it were to be on the other foot, young man who kicks the older handy man, I would have been arrested on the spot! Nope, since he is old and I'm young my word and injuries mean nothing. I bet this guy doesn't get fired or disciplined by his employer. If anything happens from all of this it will be me getting evicted from my apartment complex for some bullshit reason.
