No, I'm not kidding. You think that people suggesting SHOOTING a maintenance man is OK but scaring him out of the apartment by crying wolf isn't? You must because those statements didn't get a response, but mine did.
Until a person has had a MALE intruder, which I have, they can't state what is OK and what isn't. Until you have dealt with the knowledge that an univited man in your house could attack you and do you bodily harm, WHICH I HAVE, then you cannot state what is OK and what isn't. I don't care if you are a man or if you are a woman, you can't say that it's OK for someone to barge into a woman's home unnanounced. NO MAN should enter a woman's home and say that it IS NOT OK for her to do whatever needs to be done to prevent him from coming back!
These insensive jerks should be made to stay out of this poster's home in whatever way she has to do it. She has that right! She doesn't know these men. They could do her harm. Just because they are employed by the apartment complex DOES NOT make them safe nor ethical!
On that note, assaulting them with pepper spray or a gun would only get her into trouble with the law. Screaming wouldn't!
