Rented a room to an ex girlfriend who was in need of a place after the wife and I divorced. Rent is $500/month, just under half my mortgage.
No I'll pay you $800, uh, ok.
After about 6 months my bank let me know her latest check didnt go through. Not bounced, a stop payment. I was at work, gave her a call and told her to get all of her shit out today and not be there when I got home and this is our last conversation. If you're not moved out, I will move your stuff out.
Got home to her truck with camper and other truck on a trailer in the upper driveway. I pulled into the lower driveway in front of my shop. Brother and buddy were in my shop working on brother's truck. I grabbed a beer and started helping out. The exgirlfriend roomie came down and started a rather good rant. I didn't even acknowledge her existence. She was done with me and started in on my brother. I gave brother a look to stop. He did. She ran out of steam, wasn't getting the back she was putting forth.
She left the shop, got in her truck and left. Buddy commended me on the non involvement.
Few hours later the sheriff showed up. Noise complaint, fighting. I started laughing, buddy was gone and my brother started using his mouth. Gave him another shut the fuck up look. He did. Talked to the sheriff for a few, let him know what was going on and that everything here is good.
Sorry for all the words, the thread just clicked a memory.
