Most know that I live on a mountain right, well here I am replying to a post when a hear a helicopter. Not unusual but this one sounded real close so I turn around and it is like 100 feet (i think I have conversion right lets sat it was darm close) from my living room window!!
It was a private helicopter!! Not like the fire one or the rescue which we usually get. I'm still in my bathrobe drinking my coffee and not much of a morning person so I'm like what the #*@* and then the people inside laughed!! (yep that is how close they were). So I put my coffee down put my arms into a shotgun pose and 'shot' them, then I gave them the one fingured salute (kids were in their rooms). So they flew away then.
I was starting to think, I shouldn't have been so rude but now I think about it how dare they!! There are only 3 houses on our little mountain, nothing else is up here so they obviously deliberately did it, I think the pilot was showing off to his friends.

arrrrghh the rudeness of people.

Luckily I wasn't scratching my bum!!

(Doesn't take me long to get over it )

Can you say bum on here?

Please forgive me for laughing, but you painted such a colorful picture of this scenario that I just burst out laughing! (you're very good with words!)

But of course if it had happened to me, I'd be pretty mad too! How dare they peep in on you like that?! What nerve!!

You put a positive spin on it all when you commented, "At least I wasn't scratching my bum." The situation could have been much worse, I suppose! Still, how embarrassing!

I wonderful if there is a way to complain about a pilot based on those numbers they have painted on the side of the aircraft?

- that was somewhat funny (the way you described it!)!

Something similiar happened while growing up- only it was a helicopter searching for pot plants (the joys of living in the woods in our area!)- but they were not that close thank goodness!

I think you had the perfect response towards them- the nerve of some people! Thank goodness you weren't scratching your bum !

I have to say, I just had to laugh on this one. Reading the way you were describing it seemed so real that I just had to laugh..

I think if they had come after I had drunk my coffee and it had kicked in I probably would have thought about that but at that particular time of morning I was seriously contemplating on going to the gun safe and going out with the shot gun, a piece of grass in my mouth and an old crappy hat on and yelling at them to 'get off my god damn property'...

I just texted DH at work and needless to say it is lucky for them that he wasn't home as he would have done exactly that.....

Is there an airport near you, like a small one? Over here, flight plans have to be filed, but I don't know if it pertains to helicopters. Here we could complain to the FAA, who has jurisdiction over the skies.
