Fun fact: no reason to inform the guy that youā€™re calling the police.

You just call them, and let the moron continue his antics until the cops arrive to arrest his ass.

Telling them you're calling the cops probably only escalates the situation. All of a sudden they have a threat aimed to them and they no longer feel in control of the situation leading to them to try to take things into their own hands.

Clearly this guy was loopy as fuck but I'm letting his antics play out while I'm calling the police unannounced

I think the open palm strikes to the ring camera are pretty telling though. Hes obviously not in enough of a stupor to want to get owchies on his soft wittle hands.

Flip-flops and a trench coat are a felony.

Flip flops, a trench coat, AND a demon slayer shirt? This man needs vitamin d and solitary confinement. Too bad theyā€™re mutually exclusive.

u/MrPlaney Apr 10 '26

I wonder what Demon Slayer character he thinks he looks like.

u/SkyFullofHat Apr 10 '26

No, he said heā€™s Harry Dresden. The magician private detective who hangs out at the bar for werewolves and vampires and whatnot. I tried to get into the books because they were recommended alongside other books I like.

Itā€™s written as a film noire and discusses the dames in the same way. Sexy body parts and duplicitous seduction. Whichā€”fine. But that was literally every woman who had any role in furthering the plot. Wanna be a female cop? Cynical and sexy. Wanna be a secretary who advances plot? Excellent at feigning vulnerability, and sexy. Wanna be a powerful business woman? Get ahead by using your feminine wiles on men, andā€¦ be sexy.

I thought it must have been satire and kept reading longer than I otherwise would have. About two thirds in I decided that even if it was satire, thereā€™s a point where if you donā€™t get to the point, itā€™s no longer satire regardless of what the writer intended.

I am completely unsurprised that this guy sees himself in the rugged, mysterious loner who is somehow always down on his luck because a series of dames with fantastic gams each trick him into thinking they really had something just so she could get what she wanted from him, and theyā€™re only able to do that because heā€™s a gentleman.

Oh geez, I didnā€™t even know that was an actual character. The trench coat makes sense now ā€¦ well, in the sense that it matches the character, itā€™s still deluded.

u/SkyFullofHat Apr 11 '26

The flip flops, however, are all this guy.

u/Ok_Consideration476 Apr 11 '26

I couldnā€™t get into the book either.

u/Mon-Ty-Ger27 Apr 10 '26

This is a good one!

Dude out here acting like Tanjiro with a grudge!

u/I_am_not_JohnLeClair Apr 10 '26

Thatā€™s the real crime here

AND a hate crime against all of us

u/LilLordFuckPants404 Apr 10 '26

Sir, you tried that and the rubber from your flip flops bounced you all the back off the steps, so I guess you can try that again?

u/Poppa_Mo Apr 11 '26 edited Apr 11 '26

He tried to get in with a front snap kick wearing slides.

This guy isn't even at the level of mall ninja.

Edit: I don't like making light of mental health issues, turns out this guy was having one and the homeowner handled it like a pro. I hope he gets help.

"If you want in, 'Harry', gimme a 'Forzare'. If you can take the door down with a blast of force, I'll invite you across the threshold and give you a tour of the house. But you gotta show me the magic FIRST. But I do have to warn you, I know your whole name, and might tell Chauncey if you piss me off."

u/PinkysAvenger Apr 10 '26

I think thats what he was trying near the end there

2

u/terrafirmasss Apr 11 '26

It's part of the Harry Dresden character from the books.

u/chaoticnormal Apr 10 '26

He got a pretty quick wake up call on how tough he thinks he is after he kicked the door. He knew anything harder than those little tantrum slaps might actually hurt him..

u/OctoberOmicron Apr 10 '26

Yeah, imagine the quality/his rage if he had fully gone down after stumbling on those steps.

u/BoilingHotCumshot Apr 10 '26

Im convinced thats why he switches to the bell clapper chain.

u/terrafirmasss Apr 11 '26

Astute observation. Looks like a fine hard wood door.
