A woman and her dog strolled directly by the unsettling man.
R
That is one of the more Bugs Bunny sneak-a-ways I’ve seen
M
How the fuck didn’t she scream?!?!
K
I can only imagine that the sheer weight of her massive balls of steel kept the scream down. Seriously though, what an exceptionally smart move on her part. No reaction, screaming, or engaging. She saw him and got the fuck out ASAP, and immediately got help. The trespasser could hear the male voice and knew not only had he been made, but these two likely were going to come out armed, and so he dipped–no confrontation, no violence. Woman has a head on her shoulders for sure
Q
I just hope the dog didn’t get hurt, saw the pupper going after him at the very end.
A
Dog at fault for not alerting owner immediately
P
My Rottweiler would have noticed him!
Q
My GSD would have, too. But I probably would have after turning the light on. And I’m not sure why she doesn’t have a way to turn the light on from the inside.
B
It’s funny. I was thinking if not for the camera, it would be a situation like that dancing/singing frog. She swears up and down there was someone there, while he scoffs at the notion because there’s no evidence of it. No person running down the street. Especially with the dog just walking past like that. Every damn dog I know goes apeshit when there’s so much as a squirrel in the yard. It would be hard to believe the dog didn’t notice anything.
W
quick thinking on her part once she saw him…don’t engage, don’t yell, just get the house asap
D
Yeah well we’re gonna have to have a serious conversation at the next guard dog quarterly evaluation.
W
and re-evaluate the choice of doorbell cameras. fuck, even cheapies alert you to ‘person detected’
F
They most probably they disabled the alert option after it kept ringing every time one of them sat on the porch.
A
We cut on the alerts by delineating the area directly in front of the door. West facing house and shadows at sunset made it go crazy
P
So you’re just saying I need to directly approach your doorway at sunset?
A
I should clarify that what sets it off is the shadows on my lawn. I cut out that area, but any activity on the porch gets alerts
P
We’ll see about that (jk have a good day)
A
Hahaha, thanks you too
J
PERSON DETECTED! That’s a spider PERSON DETECTED!!!! That’s a big rain drop PERSON DETECTED!!!!!! That’s a black bear

That critter must’ve been really motoring.

That’s basically my camera every night. Last night it went off at 348am. It was just deer grazing on my lawn. One night it was an adorable raccoon climbing down the drain pipe. Rarely ever is it a person, and when it is it’s one of the neighbors running their dog out for emergency potty breaks at odd hours. I did once have an elderly lady who was confused walk all the way down my drive way and right into my back yard. The camera caught it, but my dog did not. He was too busy taking his 5th nap of the day.
J
I literally just had a notification that turned out to be a racoon lol. It is a bit fun seeing just what the heck is out there at night. I’ve caught about 5 black bears on the Ring since getting it two years ago (including one a few months ago that was climbing the fence to the neighbours and skidded off it, had the whole OH SHIT look and everything as it fell), I’ve lived in this place for over a decade so makes me wonder how many times I was just chillin at home oblivious to Mr. Bear cruising around the yard!
S
>That’s a black bear Well hold on now. It’s not a person buuuut…
T
not always, our ring camera would sometimes fail to capture amazon deliveries- even after we changed the parameters

M
Welp, that bitch just left me out here to die, so I guess I’ll roll with you.
G
honestly as chill as that guy was I can totally see the dog thinking he was just supposed to be there.
G
Yea. That’s an epic dog fail. I have the sweetest dog ever, but he never ignores people on the property. He wants to go make frens, but an alert is still an alert.
J
It looks like the poor dog tried to alert her but she sushed it and he’s so well behaved he made the matter much less urgent lol. I think he smelled the person but didn’t know where exactly he was
B
Get that dog on a PPIP (Puppy Performance Improvement Plan)
T
I mean yelling wouldn’t have been a mistake. Would alert others nearby that someone is in trouble, in case she needed help. I don’t think being quiet here helped, but it happened to not hurt either.
J
Yeah but you never know if yelling would’ve set the guy off into reacting in some kinda way
I
Exactly. He was perfectly still and she didn’t take a really good look at him. As far as she knows he could have been napping, daydreaming, high as a kite, or in some other way absent. Not a good idea to jostle him out of his stillness.
E
What if yelling alerts the other…. creepy guys?
K
Creepy guys!…ASSEMBLE!
H
Damn is it bad that I heard this echoing across the horizon?
J
well, it’s not good.
D
By the power of your rings, I am… CAPTAIN CREEPAZOID!
D
Yelling at a creepy guy should aggro every creepy guys.
D
From the TikToks I’ve seen, viciously barking like a large dog seems to be very disarming to men and will cause them to scramble in terror if it’s coming from a woman. But you’ve gotta put your whole chest in it.
I
Yelling can cause creepy guy to panic and try to stop the source of the yelling. Immediately getting inside and then yelling, as she did, absolutely has a potential to help her, and it’s impossible for you to say it couldn’t have caused a negative reaction.
J
You clearly don’t understand the Predator-Prey reflex. If she screams she can immediately cause this guy to panic and initiate something physical.
M
Nope would have escalated the situation and bystander effect stars would indicate no one would care. Smartest play was to quickly and silently get into house and get husband.
D
bystander effect deals with strangers. In a single home neighborhood surrounded by neighbors you have some connection with the chances of everyone saying eh someone else will handle it is far lower

Or phone or multiple other options

But the dog…
C
I’m glad my porch light switch is on the inside by the door. I turn it on *before* I go outside early in the morning, thank you.
A
The switch is prob on the inside as it was already flipped. They must have had the list sting pulled off during the day to run the fan and save on the light. So when she flipped the switch the light was still off and had to be pulled back on.
