What I would do in case of a burglar...
Ever wonder how you'd react if someone was trying to break into your house? I do, I've often wondered if I would just scream or hide or crawl out a window. Last night I got the chance to work it out for real.
I fell asleep on the couch and woke up at about 2 a.m. with the lights on, the TV on and as I was coming out of my daze I saw through the window on my front door that someone was opening the screen door. I sat up and just started shouting, "NO. GET OUT OF HERE. NO. NO. NO. and then the door closed and I realized my front window was open and a face appeared. By this time I was on my feet and my adrenaline was pumping. I just continued shouting, "GET OUT OF HERE. GO AWAY. NO!"
Turns out it was my across the street neighbor that was wondering if I knew who's car was parked on the street that left their interior light on. I apologized for freaking out and explained to her that she had just scared me into a panic. I was still shaking when she left. She said I had scared the daylights out of her, too.
Do not come just walking up on my porch!

I think that would have startled anyone - reminds me of when you had that break in when you lived downtown Chas.

When I lived by campus I had someone break out one of the windows on my back door and try to get in that way. I was scared shitless and reached for the nearest thing I could find - an iron skillet. I started yelling and I swung that skillet at that hand that was reaching through the window. I hit it so hard it cracked the door and the person on the other side screamed in pain and ran off...
In retrospect I probably could have gotten rid of them just by yelling. That would have saved me from 1) a cracked door and 2) having to clean gore off of my skillet.

OMG, Charlie! I feel so bad for you. That would have scared the crap out of me.
