Random Man and the Bat

Scary (Funny) Event Numero Uno:
A few days ago I was getting ready in the morning for the day. I thought I may have heard a knock on the door, so I walked over to the door looked through the peep hole and thought I saw someone walk off to the right. I figured it was someone trying to sell something and they had given up so I went back to getting ready. A few moments later I heard something on the other side of our house. The gate is very hard to open and it scrapes against the ground. I went to our back door and noticed a man walking into our backyard with a ladder. I opened the door a crack (which apparently scared the man, because he jumped) and asked him what he was doing in my backyard.
Side Note: Now if you know me really well you know that I can be firm and a loud talker at times(to put it nicely), which is what I had to do with this man, since my heart was pounding a thousand beats a minute.
The man told me he was from AT&T and had to fix the phone line. He said he came to the door, but no one was home. I told him that obviously I was home, but he didn't wait for me to answer the door. He kept insisting that no one had been home. (I had not left my house since the night before). I told him that it was extremely rude for him and scary for me to just enter my backyard without permission and that he had to leave and come back another time. He was pretty mad at me, but I was not going to allow some random AT&T guy who didn't let me know he was going to be in my backyard come in and fix something. At least he could have left a note on the front door (He didn't, I checked)!!

Scary (Funny) Event Numero Dos:
Mike and I went to the mall on Friday and we were in Macy's riding down the escalator when all of a sudden I felt something on my head and I saw this shadow out of the right side of my eye. I flinched and then started telling Mike to get it off me. He just looked at me and started laughing because what I apparently had thought was a bat (yes ladies and gentlemen, a bat) was his finger moving hair away from my face. Mike has this thing were he thinks the hair that happens to be covering my eye at that moment is bothering me so he moves it. I know he's trying to be all sweet, but to me it's just creepy, especially when I think it's a bat. WE did have a really good laugh after it though!

That's funny. I can't imagine you arguing with anyone.
