Here's an update- it went from annoying to completely bizarre last week. I came back from being away at work and decided to go for a swim. I saw one of the locals (lives next door to the Crazed one) and stopped for a quick chat. As we were talking Crazy ***** suddenly appeared and started tearing a strip off of me- apparently she decided that I had tried to run her and her dog over a few days earlier, that I was evil and a bully, and she was taking steps to "deal with me!". Alrighty then. After she had her rant and was storming away I said "have a nice day" to which she said "f**k you". I then said "I love you too" which earned me a "go f**k yourself you piece of s**t". The guy I was talking to was laughing his ass off- he indicated that he's witnessed this type of thing several times and that having her for a neighbor is kind of stressful.
But wait folks, it gets better. She called the cops........
Yep, crazy as it sounds she decided that I've become a terrible, menacing threat and that someone has to put evil me (yes, she told the cop I was evil) in my place.
Here's how it played out. After she called the cop shop they called me. Constable such and such asked some questions and indicated he wanted to come out and chat with me the next day. No problem.
The Crazed one panicked. She went down to "burn the evidence" (all of the most recent clippings from her ongoing vandalism at the dock) and started a fire that got out of control- flames 30' high were mentioned, a building got scorched, and a small brush fire started as well (I missed the show, I was sleeping). A few of the locals ran down there with pails to put it out, tore a strip off her, and left once the fire was out. She then proceeded to load the rest of the brush into her car and hauled it off somewhere in the middle of the night. The next morning she went to the individuals who put out the fire and instead of thanking them gave them s**t for being "mean and rude" to her.
The next day the cop comes out. We chat a bit- he made it pretty clear that he'd already done his homework on Crazy ***** (talked to neighbors, indicated that she's a frequent caller to complain, etc.)- he suggested I avoid her (duh) and carry a recording device just in case she comes at me again. My major concern was The Kid- what if she were to do something to get back at me via my daughter? He indicated that he would talk to her about that and let her know that my concern about my daughter and that various neighbors concerns about her actions (the vandalism, fire, general behavior) was going into the report he was doing up in hope that it would deter her from further stupidity.
Oh ya, the attempted running over allegation, turns out another of the locals witnessed me driving by her- I had downshifted (going up a slight grade) and revved the engine a bit as one normally does. The truck is a bit loud so the Crazed one decided I had done it on purpose to scare her. She had gone to the local pub and whined about it to anyone who would listen- over the next few days she had built it up in her mind so much I guess the next logical step in her mind was that I was going to run her over......
If you've read through this whole ramble my thanks to you. It completely blows my mind that this has been happening, it's so.........surreal
