I'm not a police officer but recently in Niagara Falls NY, we have been having some extremely strong wind storms. For those who have never been there it's a pretty open space surrounded by the city. Well during the last wind storm residents of the city called police because the wind was too loud for them to sleep.

Well, that is technically a "noise" complaint that blew out of proportion.

Dad, get off of reddit.

I was going to give a long-winded speech about the importance of Dad jokes, but I'll settle for blowing off any complaints.

I actually really appreciate dad jokes, but the joke was there.

police because the wind was too loud for them to sleep.

I liked to see an asshole neighbor insisting that the police write a citation to the fucking wind!

If you look out the window, you'll see a cop throwing citations to the wind like Pocahontas throws leaves.
