About an hour ago, there was a knock at the door. I'd just got comfy in my pjs for a night watching a film with the kids so I peeped out and didn't recognise the person so (foolishly taking mumsnet wisdom at face value) I decided not to answer.
5 minutes ago there was a heavy knock and repeated ringing of the bell. Peeped out and it was the police.
Of course, I immediately started to go through the list of catastrophes but opened the door in my pjs. Cue policewoman shouting to colleague "it's ok they're in"
Turns out the first caller was a neighbour (not sure who or why they were calling) who didn't get a response and saw a bedroom window was open so called the police to say they thought I was on holiday and had left the window open!
I've not lived here long and whilst it's good to see a level of watching out for the community I'm also stunned at the nosiness and shocked the police came out so quickly.
AIBU to feel a bit put out by what was probably intended purely as a good deed?
