Sweets1919 Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 I am freaked out a bit right now and also a bit sad. About an hour ago at 11:15pm I was here at home lying on the couch just watching TV. I had a few lights on inside the house and all was quiet. Then the doorbell rang. It freaked me out and made my heart totally race and pound. I wasn't expecting anyone so I did not even get up (scary stranger on the doorstep late on a Saturday night when I am a female at home alone...not going to answer that door!). So I lay there and it rang again...and again. I was like WTF!! I thought MAYBE it is my ex bf who has been calling this week (who i did not respond to). I went upstairs and looked out the upstairs window onto the street. I saw a little hatchback car in front of my house...not a familiar vehicle and not my ex's truck. So I sat upstairs for a bit and the guy was still ringing the doorbell (up to three times in a row) and also knocking. I thought I heard him calling out but I could not make out what he was saying. Finally after probably 5-7 minutes I went downstairs again to get the phone in case I had to call 911. Then seeing he was still ringing the doorbell I went to the door and figured it MUST be someone I know. But I peeked out the blinds instead of opening the door (thank goodness!) only to see a total stranger. It was a guy who was wearing glasses and he was trying to say something to me through the door. I just let the blinds close and walked away, turning off the lights as I went upstairs. I watched out the upstairs window and saw him walk down my walkway, get in the hatchback and drive off. I checked the front porch after he left to see if he left anything for me, but there was nothing there. So that was the freaky part...the sad part was that I wanted to call my ex to tell him my scary story...I just needed someone to talk to. Seeing it was so late I didn't want to call girlfriends or worry family....I wanted to hear a GUY tell me that it would be ok and that he wished he was here to "take care of me"...seeing I really was freaked! But, alas, I did not call him. I did tell my mom the story and set my house alarm. I know that's the better decision...thanks for reading. Sweets.
shygurl Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 Hello fellow Canuck :-) Damn, that's freaky stuff for sure. How old did this guy look? Promise that if he comes back, you call the cops ASAP! I'm so glad you didn't answer the door. I used to live in a house that didn't have a peephole, and there was really no way to "see" who was out on the doorstep - and a few times I had people come to my house late at night and ring the bell........and I was new to the city and there was no way it was someone I knew. I would definitely keep a lot of lights on in your house tonight............but keep the blinds all closed. Make sure all your doors and windows are locked - double check them all. Do you live in a decent neighborhood? Could he have maybe been a delivery guy? I had one come to my house once.........he obviously had the wrong address but he was realllly ringin' the bell.........obviously thinking he had the right house and surely wondering why I'd have ordered all that food but wouldn't answer the door? Did you see this guy carrying anything?
smile95 Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 I think it is pretty normal to want to call the ex for comfort. When I had my surgery, I felt the same thing...but I did not call. I called other friends. Good for you for calling your mom. Just try to look for comfort from others that love you. Kinda weird about that man? You live alone? I would have called the cops! Please.......be careful!
