PHOENIX -- Officers dispatched to what they thought was a domestic disturbance Monday night discovered a lone Mesa man fighting with himself, authorities said.

Though the original call reported a verbal argument between a man and a woman, police said they found the 21-year-old man arguing with himself, changing the pitch of his voice as he acted out each part.

The man was also destroying the inside of the apartment, officers said. He broke the front window as officers tried to calm him down and coax him out of the home, according to authorities.

A crisis team decided the man was a danger to himself and obtained a mental health pick up order, police said. The Mesa SWAT team responded and took the subject into custody.

Make up sex would be even more disturbing.

That song was the first thing I thought of.

"police said they found the 21-year-old man arguing with himself, changing the pitch of his voice as he acted out each part."

Do police know which personality started the fight?

[stevio]

Damn. LOL.

[Sacajaweau]

Oh hell...I do this all the time. It's usually about who takes out the garbage....in a one person household. I lose either way. Sometimes I flip a coin. I still lose.

My shrink says I have "I don't wanna" syndrome...Something from my youth.

He pays for my parking with a few coins if I take out his garbage (positive reinforcement.

Since I don't drive, I pocket the coins.

I now have $80,000 dollars of this dumb dudes money.

I don’t want to know how “they” made up..

“The Mesa SWAT team responded and took the subject into custody.”.....

Which one?...

[imintrouble]

LOL thanks for the break!

[hosepipe]

The Sheriff in Blazing Saddles took himself hostage..

[NativeSon]

The Mesa SWAT team responded and took the subject into custody.

Overkill? Since when was SWAT intended for "[what] thought was a domestic disturbance " ?

I guess it was a hostage situation.... reminds of the Cleavon Little scene from Blazing Saddles...

[GOP_Raider]

I think this was first perfected by one Jim Carrey in the film “Liar Liar”

[AuntB]

LOL! You are too funny.

Seriously, a couple years ago, I let a down and out nephew-divorce, etc. (couldn’t figure out why that MBA wasn’t doing him any good??)stay at my home.

He would have these kind of conversations in his room. Sounded like 2 or 3 different people...all of ‘em ticked off! Scared me to death! I didn’t have a clue how troubled this guy was. I got him out shortly after...it was not fun.

I didn't think of that one.

My first thought at the title was that the libs were going after shadow boxing.

[kidd]

[Arrowhead1952]

Talking to oneself and answering is bad enough.

Did he lose all the arguements during his spat?

[vietvet67]

lol. That guy’s a riot. Especially like the old man.

"I'm fine now."

"I am NOT!"

"Yes, I am!"

"AM NOT!"

"AM TOO!"

"Who asked you, anyway?!"

"I did!!"

I tell the voices to quiet down or I’ll stab them with a q-tip again.

[OCC]

I’m sure the female sounding voice got the last word in.

[aculeus]

A crisis team decided the man was a danger to himself and obtained a mental health pick up order, police said.

In my world a "mental health pick up order" is something you drink.

[MaryFromMichigan]

Of course the female got the last word.
Anything the guy says after that is the beginning of the next argument.

They needed the f-ing SWAT team to take this clown in? What a bunch of losers.

[TalonDJ]

They needed the f-ing SWAT team to take this clown in? What a bunch of losers.

What to bet the SWAT team pointed automatic weapons at him as they 'protected him from himself?'

[Xenalyte]

Dude, that is EXACTLY what I thought of.
