I woke up, brushed my teeth, walked to supermarket, rolled a cigarette. I felt good. Then I opened my mobile phone and checked what’s happening in the news. Then came into my mind that I will write about my experiences about past two years.
I have needed to move from an apartment to a new apartment many times during the past years. Why? Because of money. I have needed travel abroad to work because here Finland it’s not easy to find a job. But that’s only a minor reason. Bigger reason has been that I haven’t felt good and comfortable where I have been. Neighbors and other people have been disturbing me.
I give you few examples. While living in one apartment my landlord contacted me that my that my friends are making noise. Yes, one friend was visiting me many times but we didn’t make noise. I was listening music quietly and using my laptop and my friend was checking phone being quiet too. But I heard many times noise from the corridor someone going up and down in the stairs. They were not my friends as the landlord stated. They were some other people. But my landlord put that into my responsibility. It wasn’t correct. Landlord resigned my rent contract and I needed to move.
I moved to stay in the countryside. When I went to check the apartment for the first time for some reason the landlord asked from his wife when I was leaving that “what he has been taking?” and answered to his own question “probably pills”. It’s my personal matter if I take pills or I don’t. About that I will write later. But also there in that house happened a lot of so weird stuff that it would be too long story to write in this post so I focus on the main events.
No one was supposed to visit me and my door was knocked loudly. I got a miserable feeling that now everything isn’t okay so I took a knife in a sheath into my hand to protect myself, just in case because of the situation, which I never ever did before and opened the door. Then I hear “don’t open the door” and saw a blue clothed hand pushing the door to close it. I realize that it was a police and after they wanted to talk with me. They asked me why do you come to open the door with a knife. I explained the same as above and then the police had few more like ‘general issues and matters’ to talk about. It was just a very weird situation.
In one apartment I was staying and suddenly the police came to my door. They said that neighbor or neighbors had informed them that I have been making noise. I was drinking beer and enjoying and I didn’t make noise. After when I wanted to investigate that issue more I asked from the official offices by using official channels to give me information about the notification they received about me making noise. They replied to me with an empty e-mail. In Finland here is only 1 official channel, 112, to get help in emergency cases. In the end the police that time took me to a mental hospital for 5,5 weeks to recover. About that I will also write later.
When I heard noise there in that building in the middle of the night and called to emergency response center they answered to me that’s not an issue they will check up. Hmm, I don’t make noise, they come, they make noise, they come. And then the neighbor sends me a message “Sorry I was making noise”. So weird, so wrong.
One time police stopped me while I was walking in a market square saying that they are searching for a man who has been walking in peoples yards. Then they said that person had a jacket and I didn’t have so they continued. Again I didn’t understand.
While I was staying in a different apartment the landlord or a neighbor, depending of whose story I’m checking, the same police couple came to pick me up again into a mental hospital, that time for about 3 weeks I needed to stay there. Of course I needed and need to pay money to them of taking “care” of me.
Summary. What are they doing? They like to come to me and for no reason.
