Mate on my estate has hit the skids & I can't deal with him.
Yeah I could carry on trying to keep him on the straight & narrow but I ain't. I also know that now it's apparent to him that I won't help him, the first thing he's going to do is to try & rip me off.
He's a crackhead.
I'm sitting up tonight & because he's desperate & he will try & get over the fence & steal my tools
Sounds harsh huh? Well dig this... Last year I gave him all my spare kit - a lawnmower, rake, shovel, clippers, I even fixed his strimmer for him. Basically I gave him everything he needed to do the gardens on my estate. Essentially I gave him a hand up so he could earn money...
I do the gardens on my estate, so I basically created my own rival & gave him some regular work to keep his head above water. The Winter wasn't kind to him as it ain't for all of us & he got on the pipe, sold all his kit, ripped off his regulars & now he's knocking my door again.
Everyone has been complaining to me about him & just how bad he's got has been made obvious by all the people he's fucked over phoning me to get their gardens done. Some haven't called & I dread to think what he's been doing. He's gonna take me down with him 'cos he doesn't care.
So I've been ignoring him & he knows it & 'cos he can't tap me up for money or food, I know he's gonna try & rip my tools, so I'm sitting here with a fucking pick axe handle waiting for the milk bottles I've stashed to alert me to him breaking into my garden & trouble will ensue.
It's a real bitch to come to terms with & all sorts of thoughts are going through my head 'cos I know that what I'm doing is pre-meditated & depending on what happens, I could come out of this worse off than him. But what the else do I do? Can't let him fuck me over. Police? Meh!
I've resigned myself to the fact that things are going to get ugly. I don't have the money for cctv & other security measures. I can't call the police 'cos round here that is absolutely taboo. I'm stuck here contemplating using 'reasonable force' on my drug addict mate ffs..!
Reasonable force is one of those fucking sound bites that doesn't exist, like 'compassionate Conservatism', or 'community policing'.
I know he's coming.
I know he's fucked up.
He may be out of his head, he may have a weapon, he may try & hurt me if I try to stop him, or worse...
Even Dealer McDope has basically green lighted him 'cos he flung him some weed to work off his debt & make some change but the prick even ripped him off. That news didn't sit well - it pushes me further up the target list & I know that he's gonna get a real beating from McDope...
So my fucking lockdown ain't going so well, peons...
I've got an extremely vulnerable old man to look after, who just wants to die in peace, a rampaging, out-of-control crackhead wanting to sting me, McDope associates checking on me that I ain't harbouring or helping him..! Fuck!
It's like an episode of Porridge with the comedy replaced with anxiety. All I wanted, like everyone else was a decent Summer, a nice bit of gardening work, maybe even a holiday! Instead & unlike everyone else, I'm dodging coronavirus, rockheads & tough guys.
This is my frontline!
At least if some fucking shit occurs, I have left my audit trail of woe here. I don't have any intent or malice but if I get pushed &/or pulled, I can use this thread to defend myself & defend myself & hopefully not end up a victim to the virus, the running man or his pursuers.đź‘Ť
