Lawful Stupid.

Last night I stepped into an argument between my next door neighbor who is a short middle-aged woman, and a dude one house over. This dude was threatening my neighbor because someone parked in front of his house, and he believes that the public parking in front of his house belongs to him. Well, when I overheard that the car parked in front of his house didn't belong to anyone in our apartments, and that the guy insisted on threatening my neighbor, I felt I had to step in to make sure this guy didn't try to hurt my neighbor.

Well, long story short, once I stepped in and reasoned with both parties (public parking, the guy has no legal recourse and there are witnesses who would speak in favor of my neighbor), the guy stepped away.

Later that night, the lady's husband came home and found out what happened. He spoke with the guy and essentially told him not to threaten his wife, ESPECIALLY if the so-called problem has nothing to do with them. My neighbors thanked me for stepping in. I should have my head examined for sticking my nose where it don't belong, but my buddy Joel says I'm just "Lawful Stupid" (my Dungeons and Dragons alignment).

Oh, today's my birthday. I am now 28 years and roughly 5 hours old. Yays.
