Is it normal for people to get so upset over a phone call?

I had dumped my boyfriend and he called my phone after that because he wanted to talk so I called him back but instead of talking like he wanted I told him off because I was through with it and didn't want to talk anything over. I didn't threaten him at all, I just insulted him. We lived hours apart, too! Not like he was in danger or whatever. Anyway he got so upset over it and called the police! The police called me and wanted me to apologize to him for yelling at him!! lol!! I didn't apologize so he called the police again, then the police called ME again, asking me to apologize, again....I was like...uh, no...leave me alone!! Thankfully that was the end of it, but WTF?? Seriously?

Is this normal??

      If the police are siding with him, then there are some serious details missing from this story...

      • They "sided" with him because he and his mommy called them and kept asking them to do something! Who knows what exactly they said to the cops but when the cop called me he mentioned that I said "satanic things" to him. His family was nuts and also very religious. The cop thought it was stupid too but apparently they had really pressured him to do something so he had to call me I guess to shut them up.

    • Caller ID, friend. I know how police talk too so no 2 bit goon off the street could fool me into falsely believing they were a cop.

        Unless it was a 2 bit goon that was a cop, friend of a cop, or family member of a cop

    It sounds to me like your trying to win us over, only giving a partial truth and trying to play down his reasons for calling the police as a means of closure for feelings of guilt like a part of you knows his actions were partially justified and anger that he called the police on you. We don't know his side of the story, so I'm not convinced I want to enable you and say what he did is over react.

    Though, I do understand your position. When I started a job as a delivery driver and there was this girl at one of my stops which was an outlet store of the company I drive for, she sent a friend request to me over face book. I accepted it cause it would be rude not to but still didn't talk to her when I was there to avoid drama "don't shit where you eat". Over the roughly 5 months that these events took place, I sent maybe 5 friendly messages on her status updates so I didn't come off entirely cold with my avoiding her at work. She finally quit her job cause I guess my not talking to her made her anxious but I was just trying to avoid "romantic drama" at work. After she quit and became available in my eyes with her being at another job not linked to mine. I sent a text message to her phone number from her face book page wishing her luck at her new job and letting her know I was interested but was avoiding drama. I guess she and her 3 friends who worked at the outlet store forgot about this being on her page and accused me of "stalking" her and called the police on me. The police actually ended up coming to my work place cause of this, yes..cause of a few friendly messages on face book and one text message. When the cop heard my side he thought it was funny but he had to talk to me cause its part of his job. It made me the target of twisted gossip for my other coworkers like I'm a perverted weirdo and passively get bullied by a couple of guys there still 3 years later and everyone still kind of avoids me and I kind of avoid them to cause of how I feel around them cause of all this and it caused a lot of tension with the remaining girls at the store she worked at, they would intentionally flirt with this other driver to try to make me look like a fool for not wanting to flirt at work for example. All this drama was the one thing I was trying to avoid. They brought in a new manager to the outlet store and he found out what happened and fired all the girls there and runs the place on his own with one other helper. I'm sure this girl was semi interested at first and If I went along and talked to her something could of happened, but I didn't want that. It wasn't a case of mix signals though it kind of became that, she'd often come over to say hi while she took stuff to my area that could of waited until I was gone and she was the only one to do it, like they all knew she liked me and weren't trying to "cock block" her, and I noticed her unzipping her pullover coat exposing cleavage when I was there or before she would come over.Coincidence...maybe...but the look she gave to me other wise. Other times when Id be sitting there and shed bend over to fiddle with something and her bent over ass in her yoga pants would be like 4 feet from my face and her thong would ride up in her ass. When I didn't respond or give her the attention I guess I became the "creepy guy". I didn't want the romance at work and I feel like a dick when I respond to and when girls give over sexualized advances like that. It makes mixed feelings, they want you to like them for them and not look at them like they're meat then get mad when you don't look at them like meat, I get it though, they want you to like them for them and still want to feel sexy. Though I like my job, I'm almost ready to try to find a new one due to the bad first impression I made cause of this. How do I always go off on messages like this...im gonna end it now..

    • Seriously? Why is everybody thinking this is bullshit? It's not at all bullshit. It's quite rude for you and several other people to come on this post and say it's fake. FUCK YOU! Good thing I wasn't asking about a more serious issue that I was very concerned about because that type of reaction is pretty shitty.

      If you just think it's stupid, then I agree, it IS stupid. Who the heck calls cops over an unpleasant phone call?? I didn't think it was normal but this site is called IIN so what's wrong with asking? We live in small towns where the cops actually do have time for petty shit like this.

        Cops often don't seem to have time to respond to life-threatening calls where people's lives are actually in danger. Think of all the stories you've heard where women try getting restraining orders from the police, trying to get any sort of protection from their exes, but they aren't taken seriously, and then, lo and behold, they get murdered by their crazy psycho ex. So this same group of police has time to call people over a whiny breakup? Unless he lives somewhere were absolutely NOTHING happens, it cannot possibly be true. You know there are means to make it look like a phone call comes in from a different number on caller ID, right? I'm not saying your ex isn't insane, but I don't believe that this is how the police operate.

    What the fuck? I doubt it was the actual police. -_- but your ex sounds like my clingy ex. She told her mommy about me. And I got texts and calls from her telling me she'd call the cops on me. Just for making her cry. With WORDS, if I may add. And they wern't even that mean.

    • I have caller ID and it was the police. I've talked to the police before and I know how they converse. Funny you say that about mommy, his mom was involved too. They were a little mentally unstable which is one main reason I broke up with him but they were also religious fanatics. They got so upset about me using swear words and saying what they said were "satanic things". I lol'd so hard over that when the cop asked me about that.

    Sounds like my dad's wife...My sis and her had a little disagreement. So they went to their rooms and she started to cry and actually called the police up. They then showed up at our house... and my dad, my sister, and her had some explaining to do...
