A former neighbor called the fire department on me because she smelled incense coming from my apartment.
When the fire department guys found out they had been called for something so stupid, they gave her a ticket and knocked on my door to let me know and asked me if I wanted to press charges for harassment. I said no and they left.
After they left, I went to this woman's door, let the air out of my colostomy bag, knocked on her door and when she answered I told her "Now you have a smell to *itch about."

I know I shouldn't have done it, but it worked. She never bothered me again.

I’ve only been on this site a little bit, I hardly know how to navigate it, LOL! I just want to say that everyone seems so kind and supportive to each of the members and it’s not only helpful, it makes me happy that there really are so many nice people in this world that can sometimes feel so bleak and cold. I didn’t even know about this site until I found it by accident. I think the hospital staff should bring it to their patients’ attention. Thanks to all, even if you’re just listening!
