Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

When I was in highschool I was home alone at an apartment complex, already riddled with anxiety, and would never answer the door.
Cops started banging on the door one day and it sounded like they switched to kicking at one point. Bellowing about how they'll arrest anyone inside unless we open up.
They went around back and started banging on the glass sliding door when it didn't slide open, which would of course have been claimed to be open the whole time I'm sure.
The management office across the street had left minutes beforehand, and one yelled about getting the keys, went over to bang on that door too.
After about half an hour of me frantically trying to get a response from my sister or parents, the former ignoring me because higshcool siblings, the latter were on a date night, they got really quiet and all hurried away. I assume someone finally realized they were in the wrong place. Were it any other situation I would have had things handled, but I was not prepared for cops.
Management got pissy about the boot scuffs all over the white door, and refused to believe it was cops since "police don't make mistakes" (whitest boomer Karen you've never seen said this) and demanded we pay for the damage. My parents stuck by my story. Ultimately management just repainted everyone's doors and trim a month later so it didn't matter.
ACAB/ALLAB Combo right there.
Glad you didn't end up a police murder statistic. Is self-defense against cops at your home a thing in your jurisdiction? I can't tell if they are always this stupid in the US only because in most places people aren't allowed to defend themselves.
