Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Got attacked by my neighbor in my driveway he tried to knock me out. I’m in my home now with all the doors locked Feeling very unsafe
So sorry that happened, that’s horrible. Is this a situation where you could report to police? Even if they don’t do anything, I think you need a record to get a protection order.
Nah I ducked both of his punches and managed to create enough distance to run away. So i dont think that counts as assault. After half an hour of freaking out and pacing around my house he came and knocked on my door and returned my water bottle and apologized and said we are all good now and I shook his hand through my window.
He lives next to me and I don’t want to cause any trouble by getting police involved. I got my dad to come over even though I’m an adult and I’m gonna find a new place to live as soon as possible. I worry for myself but I worry for my lgbt flatmate more.
Hang on, he threw punches which luckily you avoided, that’s attempted assault in my book. But it didn’t end there, he was pacing around your house? WTF?
His apology seems a bit of a “cover my ass” policy by him. Report him!!!
No sorry I was pacing around my house wondering if he was going to come attack my house. I am moving house asap then I’ll put a report in.
Good plan by the sounds of it. Be careful, take pictures if there’s any issues.
Glad you’ve got family nearby to fall back on but what a stressful way to start the weekend.
That’s horrible! Hope you’ll be ok. Seconding reporting it to the cops if you haven’t already.
Good grief, hope you are OK.
As others have said, report it. Do it now, and say you’ve locked yourself in to be safe.
