Traumatizing way

 I told a friend yesterday, I had been to the US for 35 years and I've never experienced something like this. I had to go to a Polices station here in Paris. I've never stepped into a police station back in the US.

Yesterday morning, I prepared myself to go to that mean woman's place. Wait for the physical theraphist and she will just hand me back my computer. It was funny because I can see the theraphist doesn't want to get involved. But I've asked her please, "just be a witness" just in case that woman do something bad to me. She obliged ,but she said she really need to get to her next appoinment. We rang the bell together and the woman was on the third floor window ,so I've asked I'm just here to get my computer. She was yelling down at us because she was up there so I had to yell back to tell her what I needed. We went up, she opened the door and she started yelling at me saying why I had to get other people with me. I said, I just came here to get my computer please.She's like im not a dog,  you dont just yell down there to me..Im like, what? she's at the third floor. The she kept yakking and yakking and said she just wants to talk to me. But I calmly told her, "no I don't want to talk to you."..I was thinking her harraassment in Facebook is enough. Then the more she got mad...The theraphist looked scared..lol..so she said, I really must go. So I told the mean woman calmly, "If you wont give me my computer , I will go to the police."..she said, go! go! and was scaring me by saying I'll get in trouble...I just ignored her and left with the theraphist.

When the theraphist was leaving, I told her..Thank you so much for helping me..I am so appreciative. She said, "Angel it was nice working with you I will miss you,I said I will too." Then she goes, "Be Strong Angel! Be Strong!"...ah...she was my first Angel. Thank you Lord for her being there.

Then I googled where Bastille's office is and went there. It was quiet. There were two offices by the door and asked me what they can do for me. I told them, that the woman didn't want to give me my computer. So he said, go and file a complaint (which I was avoiding,i don't like papaerworks) A woman at the desk speaks English and she told me to fill that paper and wait. In my head, I'm thinking..am I really here in this Police station??? it felt weird. The officer called me and asked what is my complaint. He asked me the mean lady's phone number but she doesn't answer. He said, it was just a minor thing and not an emergency and told me to go to the residence where the woman live and dial 17..I'm like ok. I took a picture of my report just incase the officers would asked me if I really did go.

I went back, I dialed...but my phone is US still so I have no access to the 17 number...ugh..

I went looking to buy a sim card, but it doesnt work on my iphone ..argh

So it took me 2 hours to figure this out, I thought..filipinas are everywhere here in Paris..I would see them in the metro,,they would smile at me and I woud smile back,,like a silent message that I know youre filipina like me. 

I went to look for one around there but there was this young chinese woman who has her cellphone out..so I asked her if she could help me. She was really nice, good thing shes also a french citizen. She called the 17 number and talked to the police that I needed help. Then she siad they'll be there after 25 to 30 mins. I'm like..cool..I've asked her ,her name she said it's CC..and I said, I'm Angel..she said, "I'm your Angel today!!...ha ha ..How AWesome is that?

God, typing this is exhausting already..mentally since I'm replaying the incident here...

Then 4 police officers came, one woman and 3 men. She asked me what the problem is and I told her. So we 5 rang the door again..first the mean woman didnt answer but I guess she changed her mind when she saw the police officers..

We 5 went up there and she opened the door. She was calm in the beginning but she started yelling and the police told her to calm down. One of the officers was shielding me from her. I didn't say anything the whole time. Then we went down to get my computer. As soon as I got it back, one of the officers said I can go leave now.

I waited for them outside and asked how is everything and they said it's ok..and left. Before I left I went back to the young chinese lady and thanked her and gave her a hug. I'm glad that there are kind people here in Paris. I  haven't really met any rude Parisians yet...only that mean filipina woman and she's not Parisian..obviously.

A funny thing happened, on my way home..I passed by the filipino store ad she was there...OMG>..she started her big mouth again. Like she wanted to embarasssed me. I just turn around and left the store. 

My question is, doesn't she have any "dignity" left?

Why would you declare to everyone that you got policed??

Then I went home in peace..well..nit really...I'm delayed reaction..I can't believed that happened..ugh

I really didn't like what happened yesterday..I was just pushed to do what I had because I dont want any trouble. It was so Awesome that I felt protected by the 4 french officers here.
