• Woke up to a domestic dispute

  At around 3 AM, I woke up to a domestic dispute. When I first started waking up and becoming conscious, I thought it was a kid and some other kid messing around outside. Then, I decided it was a parent and their child or someone else's child. After the person screaming started to sound like a woman, I look out my window. Then, I decided to slip my glasses on. It was a woman and a man. I have a feeling that both were drunk or at least one of them. The guy said that she had hit him. I suppose they live together, as well. She stayed on the sidewalk and cried loudly until I called the police. Now, I'm not sure where she is or where he is. He is probably inside somewhere. She is probably walking around outside somewhere. I heard tons of screaming and yelling and crying and running.

  When I called the police, I was asked questions about the situation and what I had actually seen. Then, I had to describe the womana dn the man, I never actually saw the man. I saw the woman but from my window and in the dark. I realized that despite my call, they may never actually resolve this particular incident, even though it woke me up in the middle of the night and sounded pretty serious. It's better to handle these things when they are small opposed to big. You can only imagine how much bigger it could get.

  Now, I can't sleep. I can't sleep because I'm scared shitless that they are going to argue on the street another night. I'm scared that I'm going to wake up to a couple fighting on the street again.

  If I'm late for work for this, I'm going to be upset.

  I'm just glad nobody got seriously hurt... that I know of.

  Have you ever witnessed something you weren't expecting?
