Im A Liar Said The Reverand

Paul the Preacher called me a liar!



    The alarm bell was right under my bed.

     I live above a church, when i first moved in there used to be regular residents meetings in the church with housing and church officials.
    Not long after moving in, the alarm downstairs starts to play up, going off constantly and nobody wanting to take responsibility for it, i spent hours on the phone over time to the council the police housing the alarm company, none of them could sort anything out, nobody could get it turned off, this didnt just happen once it was every couple of weeks, nobody wanted to accept any kind of responsibility.
    So we have a meeting in the church, housing officials, residents the church minister or whatever he was, i bring up the problem with the alarm, mentioning one night in particular where i had made over 30 calls to different people Council (Environmental Health) local police the alarm company all the right people, the two ladies that worked downstairs and one church representative were apparently key holders at the time and refusing to answer their phones.
    I asked the alarm company telephone op for reference numbers for my complaint, i asked the EH to make sure my calls were logged, this had gone on for way too long and i was getting fed up with my sleep being disturbed so badly. The alarm bell was right under my bedroom.
    Anyway im explaining the situation to the minister, all the calls, no-one answering or coming out to turn off the alarm, all the places ive phoned, you know a long list of calls till 4 or 5 in the morning, yes the alarm is still ringing, it never silences, even now. I explain it perfectly, his reply, the minister from the church, i find that really hard to believe, you know, im lying, all that couldn't possibly have happened, he wouldnt/couldnt accept it, i must be talking shit, this is the church leader calling me a liar!
    So i get his email address and email him all the numbers and people i had called, the reference numbers, all the relevant information needed to show that i was telling the truth and not talking shit, i would of thought that acknowledgement and some kind of apology for pretty much calling me a liar, you know, sorry this shouldnt have happened.
    Did he?
    Nope, did he reply, nope, didnt even acknowledge the fact that i had sent him the email. How embarrassing is that, if i think ive offended you in the slightest i will do my best to apologise at the first opportunity, this is a church leader not even acknowledging it.
    Hassles with the alarm, constant, the bell was right under my bedroom, it didnt disturb anyone else, it could only just be heard from the hall or living room but in the bedroom it was like an alarm clock going off.
