| I may need Guinan to back me on this one! |
Remember my post about the Reverend Doctor? Well, some more stuff has happened since then. She often talks about her former
involvement with the 1 percenter motorcycle club.
Last night, I feel that she threatened me. I was sitting in the living room with my friend, the Reverend Doctor, and her daughter
(whom I shall refer to as the Reverend Daughter). We were watching Son's of Anarchy.
I personally despise this show but the couch is comfortable and I can sometimes blank out all the gory violence. Personally, from the way that Reverend Doctor talks, I think she watches it because she is homesick.
Friend walks in.
EMH: Hi! How was today?
Friend: Great! I took Reverend Daughter to see Puss in Boots.
EMH: (feeling jovial) Oh. Did Puss pee in the boots?
Reverend Daughter: (rolling eyes) Whatever EMH!
Reverend Doctor: (leaning forward with angry scowl) What did he say? What did you say? You know what? You don't know the past I have came out of or the kinds of people that I have connections with. So, just keep it clean is all I'm saying.
EMH: Are you threatening me?
Reverend Doctor: No. I'm making a promise! Just keep it clean.
Note that the Reverend Doctor knows very little about "keeping it clean." She often talks about the former days when she had her own place and how when guests come over, they must take off their clothes. She says she can't wait until she has an apartment again so that the sex-games can begin. Keep in mind that all of this is would be going on right in front of her daughter.
She wears a dog-collar 24/7 just in case she meets the right person on the street. She touches herself during Lingerie Football when she thinks no-one is looking.
In short, I tell a joke about a cat peeing in boots, and suddenly Doctor and Daughter have halos!
A colleague of mine is a former defense attorney. He said that since I told a dirty joke in front of a child, then the mother has every right to tell me to "keep it clean." I don't contest that. It's the comment she made about her connections that concerns me. The former defense attorney told me that I would probably be laughed out of the police station.
In the mean-time, I'm going to stay away from hanging out with my friends. But, if Doctor's comments are legit, then I kind of feel that some kind of documentation would be wise.
What do you guys think?
Is Rev. Doctor creepy, threatening and weird? Yes. Should you be hanging out with creepy, threatening, weird people? No, you should be staying the hell away from her. Do you have anything to go to the police with? No, not at all. And if you stay away from Rev. Doctor you will not get anything you need to go to the police with, which should be a goal for you.
ReplyDeleteSince you don't work with her (do you?) she is not a colleague. If you do work with her, then talk to HR or the Harassment Officer or whatever you've got about colleagues making threatening comments. But I gather you don't.
No, thank God, she does not work with me. And thank you for the concise direction back to reality.
ReplyDeleteMerely Academic has some good advice - I've got a colleague with a highly antagonistic ex-wife, constantly trying to pick a fight [I guess to try and push him to a place where he'll hit her, so she can call the cops, and maybe re-gain custody of the kids ...long story]. Anyhoo, on a number of occasions he's felt compelled to call the cops, who've come over. Their discussions with him, in a nutshell:
ReplyDelete"Okay, here we are again, she [hit/verbally abused/threw something/destroyed something], right?" "Right."
"So, bad things happen when two you tend to be in the vicinity of each other, right?" "Right."
"You're not ever 'forced' to be in the same vicinity as her, right?" "Right."
"So STOP IT! You don't ever need to be in the same house as her. We don't want to have to come here again. It's gotten to the point where we all think you're an idiot, because this is all avoidable."
Your former attorney friend sounds about right - they'll probably tell you to go away.
@ Prof Poopiehead,
ReplyDeleteThank you. Definitely going to stay away from this person.
I agree with Merely Academic - people say a lot of crazy things and much of those are idle threats, but might as well avoid the crazies. I mean, if that's how she reacts to a juvenile pee joke, do you really want to hang around and see what's next? Chances are she just likes to brag about her dangerous past and nothing more will happen, but she sounds like a real drag, best to avoid her until she moves somewhere else (if that ever happens - if not, just see your friend elsewhere, not in her own home where this crazy person has taken up residence).
