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.
