Today, I heard my downstairs neighbor being beaten by her husband. I anonymously called 911, hoping to help. She must've seen me giving the cops my statement because as soon as they left, she knocked on my door and punched me square in the face while screaming, "Mind your own business bitch!" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard screaming coming from my neighbor's house. Since her husband has a history of abusing her, I called the cops. After they left with him in custody, she called to yell at me because they were "working things out" after "having a few drinks". FML
Today, I saw a woman being mugged. I ran up to help and pushed the guy off of her. She then punched me in the face and called the cops because she was, "just living out a fantasy" and I'm, "a lunatic for trying to help." FML
Today, I heard my downstairs neighbor pounding on her roof/my floor. I thought she was being a Karen and wanting me to be quiet, even though I wasn’t doing anything. I stomped back defiantly to make a point. Turns out she was having an asthma attack and was asking for help. Oops. FML
Today, I had to call the police to get my crazy stalker of a neighbor out of my house. When the police arrived, I found out that she was friends with the officer. FML
Today, I awoke to the sound of my neighbors attacking my car with a baseball bat accusing me of calling the cops on them. I did call the cops on them, after they screamed at me last night, drunkenly, to call the cops for them because they thought they were being robbed. FML
Today, I heard my neighbors having a violent argument in their front yard. I listened in, and soon found out why the wife wasn't happy with her husband. Apparently, she had caught her husband peeking through my windows for the second time this month. FML
Today, I called the cops on a couple who was fighting outside my window at 4 a.m. They hid in the bushes when the cops came, came back out when they left, and started fighting again. FML
Today, my coworker got angry at a mean customer. She came to the back where I work and started punching the wall repeatedly. When I tried to intervene and stop her from breaking her hand, she punched me in the stomach and uppercut me. FML
Today, I punched a drunk woman who kept trying to force herself onto my husband. She turned out to be an off-duty cop. FML
Today, while working as a plain clothes police officer, I witnessed a fight in a front yard. My partner and I intervened and clearly identified ourselves as police. Unfortunately, the two guys' mother didn't have her hearing aid in, and hit my arm with a baseball bat. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Call the cops on her

What happened is unfair and it sucks, but still... it's great you called. It's always better to have tried to help an ungrateful idiot than to risk letting a poor woman die under the blows of her husband without doing anything. I'm sure a lot of abused women wish they had a neighbour like you.

No good deed goes unpunished I guess

There's a reason nothing was done, clearly.

And you then called the cops and filed an assault report, right?

Sounds like you interrupted some S&M play there. Apparently, she can take care of herself.

So call the cops on her assaulting you. She'll get away from the abuser ...

Isn't the whole point of calling "anonymously" to remain unknown? You're not supposed to have to talk directly to the police when you call anonymously. Specifically so that who ever you called on won't possibly see you talking to them and therefore, won't know who you are and possibly act aggressively towards you. Calling anonymously is supposed to prevent exactly what happened to you. It was a good thing you called, and it sucks that you got hit because you were trying to be helpful, but you should have given them all the information they needed over the phone, so you wouldn't have to talk to them in person and been able to remain...anonymous.

And now SHE can go to jail with her husband, since clearly they're both a menace to society.

If the girl complains about interfering in private matters, tell her it's no longer private if you can hear it through a wall.
