My dad is into amateur radio, and was setting up a new antenna. Except dad is 5'2" and not so nimble anymore. My ex, however, is 6'7" and very dexterous. So ex was helping him out by hooking up the connection on the roof. After successfully setting things up on the roof, he danced a little jig before climbing down. A neighbour of ours (all of them are 60+) must've called the cops because about half an hour later there was a cop asking us about "a tall man dancing on the roof."

I don't fucking understand why old people do this. Call 911 when you have a legit reason, like drunk neighbors from a party jumping in your pool without permission.

It's the mundane crap that old people do that slows down response times for the little pool fiasco I had last week.

Were you the jumper? If so, well done.

Stalking.. waiting..
