It's a scam. If she's having a seizure, he needs to call 911 and get his wife some real medical attention. The wedding ring is probably a pewter POS from a vending machine.

I would not be put in this position, because if it's 1:20 am and some random dude who I don't know is knocking on the door, why would I open? Secondly, if your wife is suffering from a seizure why would you go to walgreens first, wouldn't you call 911?

It would depend on whether you previously knew this person and whether you truly considered him your "neighbor". If it was some stranger you've never, or hardly, seen before, then no - you politely say you don't have any cash in the house, but that "I'll be right back, I'll quickly call 911 for you" (without opening the front door). If he then were to say "no, thanks", or anything of the like, then it's likely an act; wish him good night, and go back to sleep.

Now, if this is a well-established neighbor for you, whom you've dealt with in the past, and you know for sure the wife exists, then it's a different story, of course.

So-and-so's friend, a girl in her teens, is babysitting for a family in Newport Beach, Ca. The family is wealthy and has a very large house — you know the sort, with a ridiculous amount of rooms. Anyways, the parents are going out for a late dinner/movie. The father tells the babysitter that once the children are in bed she should go into this specific room (he doesn't really want her wandering around the house) and watch TV there.

The parents take off and soon she gets the kids into bed and goes to the room to watch TV. She tries watching TV, but she is disturbed by a clown statue in the corner of the room. She tries to ignore it for as long as possible, but it starts freaking her out so much that she can't handle it.

She resorts to calling the father and asks, "Hey, the kids are in bed, but is it okay if I switch rooms? This clown statue is really creeping me out."

The father says seriously, "Get the kids, go next door and call 911."

She asks, "What's going on?"

He responds, "Just go next door and once you call the police, call me back."

She gets the kids, goes next door, and calls the police. When the police are on the way, she calls the father back and asks, "So, really, what's going on?"

He responds, "We don't HAVE a clown statue." He then further explains that the children have been complaining about a clown watching them as they sleep. He and his wife had just blown it off, assuming that they were having nightmares.

The police arrive and apprehend the "clown," who turns out to be a midget. A midget clown! I guess he was some homeless person dressed as a clown, who somehow got into the house and had been living there for several weeks. He would come into the kids' rooms at nights and watch them while they slept. As the house was so large, he was able to avoid detection, surviving off their food, etc. He had been in the TV room right before the babysitter right came in there. When she entered he didn't have enough time to hide, so he just froze in place and pretended to be a statue.



The Legend:

A couple checks into a hotel and have to put up with a foul odor in their room all night. They call the staff to complain and somebody figures out the stench is coming from the bed.
Now, there's no way that scenario is going to have a good ending. You're almost hoping at that point that it'll turn out the last guest just got drunk and pooped behind the headboard. But, no, the staff take off the matress and discover the couple has been sleeping over the rotting body of a dead girl who had been stuffed in the box spring.

I will say this... its easy in hindsight to know to call 911, etc. When you've never been in that situation, its not so easy to come up with a decision. If you have a good heart, you want to believe people, and you know you can be on the other side in desperate need of help.
