To ask if your family heard you'd been arrested- what would they assume you'd done?

[Midge1978]

Light hearted thread obv!

Breach of the peace or Assault.
I can be a bit of a radge at times but so far I've Managed to wind it in and stop myself being a banshee.

100% murder, no question.😳

Probably murder but in the vigilante family rather than the serial killer family.

They would think I had finally lost it over the twat up the road with his hypersensitive car alarm and destroyed the said car with a hammer whilst screaming "Alarmed? Alarmed? I'll give you something to be fucking alarmed about!"

I had finally punched the twat a few doors down that makes most of the street including my garden smell like a cannabis factory every time we have a bit of nice weather.

I think those that know the history would assume it was a set-up by MIL or FIL in revenge for me telling them some home truths a few years ago and refusing to see them until they changed their attitude and apologised (still waiting). MIL has form for tryi v to get people in trouble and managed to get an exBIL sacked 😲.

Probably they would Assume it was Some kind of activism.

Driving without due care as I’m really boring, very even tempered and scrupulously honest. I’m not a bad driver but it’s the type of thing that only takes a moments mistake. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not that I’m planning to do it.

Well I have a reputation for being terrible with money (im not that bad these days but try telling them that) so maybe they’d assume I was being carted off to the poorhouse.

Other than that they’d assume drunk and disorderly - don’t drink very often these days but when I do I get —hilarious in my mind anyway— obnoxious.

Just asked dh and he said either a road rage or a supermarket rage incident.

I hope mine would assume I was innocent 😁

Criminal damage for moidering some weeds belonging to ndn. Deed not done yet, am plotting

Fled abroad with the kids to avoid their birth father attempting court custody.

Murder. Or possibly speeding... I do get a wee bit carried away on the A roads...

Menacing, speeding, or felony assault on my exh.

Mine would assume I’d been falsely accused. I’m very well behaved.

Drunk and disorderly because I was a bit of a tear away at university 20 years ago and my parents seem to forget that was 2 decades ago and keep telling me that I shouldn't be getting so drunk.

My family and friends would assume I had been arrested in a political protest.

Sadly either assault or drugs

Oh this is such a good question!

Um... probably drugs I think.

But I imagine a whole range of things would go through their heads.

My family aren’t exactly angels and I know some of them have been arrested or at least escorted home by the police, (my severely alcoholic uncle for drink driving, the utter fucking twat . One of my siblings for shoplifting, another one for fighting. I could probably go on ). I’ve never had any sort of interaction with the police myself, except to report a stolen wallet . But, given the state of my ridiculous family, I doubt much would surprise them, other than murder, arson, kidnapping or a serious assault or something.

Not paying for petrol. I only go to one garage - they know me

Up until very recently, they'd have assumed a wrongful arrest. However, now they'd go for arson and murder (I'm not entirely joking when I threaten that I'm going to kill my former boss and burn my former emoloyer's premises to the ground ).

I'll go with drunk and disorderly.
