00:10Oh, she asked, was me to change the music down a little bit?
00:14Get off my property or I'm calling the police!
00:19Stick your camera straight out of your ass!
00:23Look, I hate the guy, I want him to die.
00:26Legally, how can I...
00:27Here we've went, you can't.
00:29Stay away from me.
00:30You don't know what you're doing.
00:31Stay away from me.
00:32You don't know what you're doing.
00:33It isn't a problem.
00:34So when I went to go turn the tree, I get shot.
00:41As one in five Americans move to the suburbs, neighbor complaints doubled.
00:46Get the out of here, you broke bitch!
00:47People are spending more time at home than ever before.
00:50They have gotten to really know their neighbors for better.
00:54Get the out of this neighborhood.
00:56And worse.
00:56Stop!
00:57My God!
00:58I'm suing the out of you.
01:00Do that myself!
01:01From home sweet home, to battle zone.
01:04What's up?
01:05Hey, hey, hey.
01:06These are...
01:06This is harassment, you fat piece of...
01:12My five-year-olds are f***ing tired of you.
01:15It's common courtesy to keep the noise down in the neighborhood.
01:18But when the volume stays up, so does the drama.
01:22I'm tired of having to listen to your crap every night.
01:24I don't do it every night.
01:25A woman and her daughter find themselves sounding off against their neighbors,
01:31who they claim don't respect noise levels in their neighborhood.
01:34Oh, I want to.
01:37And you can't even have a decent conversation.
01:40The mother in white claims her neighbors continuously blast their speaker through the night.
01:46And one day, she yells her complaints over the fence.
01:49But the neighbors respond with an even louder answer.
01:52Now go f***ing out of me!
01:55F***ing out of me!
01:55F***ing out of me!
01:56F***ing out of me!
01:57F***ing out of me!
01:59F***ing out of me!
02:00F***ing out of me!
02:00F***ing out of me!
02:01F***ing out of me!
02:02The daughter recording steps in to defend her mother.
02:05Oh, she asked for you to change the music down a little bit!
02:09But the neighbors become even more irate,
02:11as they say that their music is at an appropriate noise level.
02:15F***ing out of me!
02:15You can't even do that!
02:19You just hit the head of me!
02:21F***ing out of me!
02:23F***ing out of me!
02:24F***ing out of me!
02:25F***ing out of me!
02:26F***ing out of me!
02:26F***ing out of me!
02:27The screaming match is over when the neighbors disappear behind the fence.
02:31The mother and daughter say they've contacted their landlords in regards to the issue.
02:35But the neighbors still live next door.
02:37And while the fight for quiet rages,
02:40they're holding out for a little less noise and a lot more peace.
02:44Oh, she asked for you to change the music down a little bit!
02:54Drawn to the lively neighborhoods of Minneapolis, Minnesota,
02:5733-year-old Davis Mottori and his wife, Caroline, settle in to their first home.
03:04My neighborhood is an average, moderate-sized city neighborhood,
03:07but it's still right next door to the hustle and bustle of, you know, bars and restaurants.
03:12As a first-time owner, Davis puts care into maintaining his yard,
03:17including a pear tree that sits on the edge of his property.
03:21I take a lot of pride in my lawn, you know, my first home.
03:24So I wanted to make sure the lawn was, you know, in tip-out shape.
03:27Davis claims his neighbor asks him not to touch the tree as it falls on their shared property line.
03:32And he agrees. But he says things go downhill when he catches the neighbor exhibiting odd behavior.
03:40At, like, 1 a.m., he would have used an air horn.
03:47Outside of our window, I was furious. Furious.
03:52Over the next week, Davis spots his neighbor pouring a mystery substance onto his plants multiple times,
03:59which Davis believes affects their growth.
04:02One night, while Davis is working on his roof, the neighbor approaches him, holding a shovel.
04:11Fearful, Davis attempts to keep his distance from him.
04:15He starts staring at me again.
04:16Stay away from me.
04:18I'm on my property.
04:19Stay away.
04:20Davis says he pulls out pepper spray in case it gets worse.
04:24I'm on my own property.
04:24Stay away from me.
04:25You don't base me on my own property.
04:27.
04:27Away from me.
04:29Stay away from me.
04:30You don't know what you're doing.
04:31You don't know what you're doing.
04:32You don't know what you're doing.
04:33Stay away.
04:34You can't throw a punch, can you?
04:35Stay away.
04:36When I was 13, I took out somebody three times my size.
04:40Stay away from me.
04:40You scared me.
04:42You scared me.
04:42Davis calls the police.
04:44But no action is taken.
04:45He says things remain calm until a month later.
04:49Davis notices the pear tree in the front lawn looking overgrown.
04:53And he decides to trim it.
04:55So when I went to go turn the tree, you know, a chainsaw,
04:58I borrowed my father my chainsaw and all that.
05:01But then, without warning, the situation turns violent.
05:08I get shot.
05:09I'm the window.
05:12My mind was just set on, you got to make it inside.
05:15You got to make it safety.
05:17You get there immediately or else, you know, who knows?
05:23Minneapolis, Minnesota.
05:25You're a .
05:26Davis, don't forget it.
05:28While trimming a pear tree on his property line,
05:33Davis Maturi is suddenly shot by his neighbor and is fighting for his life.
05:38It felt like the world was moving.
05:41Medicine was wrong.
05:42Been seriously wrong.
05:43But it hit me in my neck.
05:46There was no time to panic.
05:48With my mind, you know, I made my sleep.
05:50We got my way inside my home and I passed out.
05:55Once he regains consciousness, Davis calls 911.
05:59He's rushed to the hospital with a fractured spine and concussion.
06:02Despite injuring his spine from his fall on the concrete,
06:06he miraculously makes a full recovery.
06:0954-year-old John is charged with second-degree attempted murder, stalking and harassment.
06:15He denies the allegations.
06:17And while his alleged attacker no longer lives next door, the impact of the ordeal still lingers.
06:24Physically, I was stuck in a brace, a neck and a back brace for months.
06:29Even after being shot, Davis says it's his other neighbors who give him strength when he needs it most.
06:36It felt really good to have support from neighbors and the community.
06:41And ultimately, that sense of solidarity helps him stand his ground.
06:46Even though I'd have been in my face, you know, I was shot.
06:49I have all leaves.
06:50And I'm not going to let someone drive me out of the phone that I own and just can't be
06:54done.
07:01Can you please get off the vehicle?
07:02Not until I got your name, little boy.
07:06Finding a parking spot can be a challenge in any neighborhood.
07:09But in San Francisco, California, it's like striking gold.
07:14Rare, valuable, and sometimes worth fighting for.
07:18Your car's being towed for breaking the law!
07:24And for one couple, that fight begins the moment they pull into a public spot.
07:29Only for their neighbor to say, that's where she parks.
07:33This is not your parking?
07:35I have the photos for them.
07:37Are you kidding me?
07:38I don't even think you are.
07:39They claim their van won't fit in their garage.
07:42But their neighbor isn't interested in excuses.
07:46Don't park it here!
07:48Five days, one time, you were seven days you were here!
07:51Who do you think you are?
07:53Oh, I move every Wednesday and weekend.
07:56San Francisco law requires cars to move every 72 hours, or they risk being towed.
08:02I have the photos!
08:04I have the photos!
08:04You want to see them?
08:05Because the parking is going to see them!
08:09My son, you have to park here!
08:11Now, my son, wait!
08:13What do you do?
08:13Look out the window!
08:14Oh!
08:16Oh!
08:16No!
08:17Oh!
08:18Because you're parking here!
08:20Weak after!
08:21Weak after!
08:22Weak after!
08:23Weak after!
08:23You park somewhere else!
08:25Weak after!
08:26Then, the neighbor issues one final warning.
08:29You park around here.
08:31How are you?
08:31Well, I am.
08:32You are being reported.
08:33You're being reported.
08:35After a heated exchange, the man stops recording as the neighbor goes back inside.
08:41And, despite her threats to report him, nothing ever comes of it.
08:46Because, in this neighborhood, parking isn't just a place to leave your car.
08:50It's a battle where every space comes at a price.
08:54Weak after!
08:55Weak after!
09:02The quaint town of Waterford, Ontario, welcomes 35-year-old Jessica Shields after she moves
09:09there from busy London, Ontario.
09:11The reason I fell in love with this house was because it's on a quiet, dead-end street.
09:17Shortly after moving in, she notices her backyard flooding more than usual during rainstorms.
09:23And discovers a faulty municipal drain is to blame.
09:27It flooded so bad in my backyard, it rendered half of my backyard unusable.
09:34She pushes the city to fix it.
09:36And they do.
09:38But just as one issue is resolved, Jessica says another begins when a family moves in next door.
09:46Within six months, they were pretty abrasive.
09:50She claims the neighbors repeatedly race motorbikes down the road.
09:54And she asks them to stop.
09:56Days later, a display appears in their backyard.
09:59A sign showed up in the back corner of my yard that said KRN.
10:05Jessica believes her neighbors may be calling her a Karen, but it's never confirmed.
10:10She hopes the incident blows over.
10:12But she says the family begins building a shed in their backyard, which blocks the fixed drain, causing the flooding
10:19to return.
10:20The neighbors argue they are entitled to build the shed and deny blocking the drain.
10:25Now there's less ground to absorb the water.
10:29With her drainage issues on hold for winter, Jessica takes to social media to share her frustrations over her neighbors.
10:36But one snowy day, she hears something outside, and it's the neighbors.
10:41And they're not happy about what she's been posting.
10:44She has nothing better to do with her life.
10:47When are you going to leave us alone?
10:49I want to know, Jessica.
10:52Stick your camera straight up with your ass.
10:55You're watching my YouTube.
10:57You must alone?
10:59I've had enough.
11:00And if this is how you want this to go, then fine.
11:03Get off my property or I'm calling the police!
11:09You are stalking us!
11:11I'm done!
11:13My heart was pounding.
11:14I didn't know what was going to happen next.
11:16Why are you over here?
11:18Do you have any idea how stupid you sound?
11:21Get out of the truck and come over here, then!
11:28Get off my property or I'm calling the police!
11:32Waterford, Ontario.
11:34Jessica Shields is at odds with her neighbors over a trailer she says is making erosion in her backyard worse.
11:40And after reaching her limit, she stands her ground.
11:44Get out of the truck and come over here, then!
11:47As long as she throws that first punch, I'm not scared to lay her out.
11:52You're such a loser.
11:54You're a loser.
11:55This is what you do with your life.
11:57Why don't you get a job and a family and leave my home?
12:00I literally have no idea what you're talking about.
12:06They drive off and Jessica calls the police.
12:09But with no evidence of wrongdoing, she says there's nothing they can do.
12:14And even though her drainage issue still persists, she makes a plan to deal with the flooding herself.
12:21I decided that if water backs up in the backyard anymore, I'll just take my house plants out there and
12:27set them in there.
12:29Double duty.
12:30And while the conflict continues, Jessica says she's still holding out hope.
12:36We don't have to be friends, but we also don't have to be mean to each other.
12:42I just want them to be happy in their own home and leave me alone.
12:47That's all I want.
12:49Stick your camera straight out with your ass.
12:58In neighborhoods across the U.S., summer brings sunshine and sometimes slip-ups.
13:04In Minnesota, these neighbors build a DIY water slide to beat the heat.
13:10But they misjudge the physics.
13:16For these neighbors, DIY should stand for don't injure yourself.
13:24In Las Vegas, Nevada, this man's trying to get his pool ready for summer.
13:29But the latter has other plans.
13:35And his summer prep takes an unexpected turn.
13:39This Australian neighbor hits the paddle board to show off his dance moves.
13:43But instead of breaking it down, he just breaks his balance.
13:48Much to the amusement of onlookers.
13:52And one thing's for sure, summer fun always hits hard in these neighborhoods.
14:06In Matawan, Michigan, police respond to a call from a man claiming he's been attacked by his neighbor.
14:14First off, what happened out here tonight?
14:16Cutting track of the little firewood.
14:18And I didn't hear him come up to me.
14:20He grabbed me by his left shoulder.
14:23His first hit, I think, was here and then I went down on the ground.
14:27He says his neighbor was furious over the chainsaw noise and claims he was punched in the head and arm,
14:33leaving him unconscious.
14:35He hit me about 50 times.
14:38After speaking with the alleged victim, the officer sets out to find the suspect, unsure of what he'll uncover.
14:46I already know why you're here, but you want to come in?
14:50No, I'll just stand outside and talk with you.
14:53You want to put your dog in?
14:54Yeah.
14:54So what started this tonight?
14:58He's always doing things to annoy me.
15:01He's right there.
15:03Just in the middle of the night, running his chainsaw, and I take it personally.
15:12The neighbor admits he and the man next door have been clashing for two decades.
15:17A feud rooted in property lines and petty grievances.
15:21He believes his neighbor is cutting wood close to his home just to spite him.
15:26He pays taxes on this, right?
15:28He can come right up and cut every blade of grass right up to your line.
15:32He can make as much noise. He can do whatever. There's no noise ordinance.
15:35There's nothing. He can do whatever he wants on his property, okay?
15:38The conversation takes a dark turn.
15:42Look, I hate the guy. I want him to die.
15:46And I'm trying to help him.
15:48Was your attempt tonight to kill him?
15:50I want him to die.
15:53But I can't.
15:54How can I kill him?
15:57Legally, how can I kill him?
15:59You can't.
15:59And the neighbor drops a threat that even the officer can't believe.
16:04He has kids. He has grandkids.
16:06I told him I will take them.
16:09What?
16:12If he does not stay away from me, we're both gonna go up there.
16:19Matawan, Michigan.
16:20What starts as a petty dispute turns into a terrifying confrontation
16:24when a man attacks his elderly neighbor over noise from a chainsaw
16:28and gives a chilling warning.
16:30I have prostate cancer.
16:32When I go, guess who's gonna go with me?
16:37Guess who's gonna go with me?
16:39I'm gonna die of cancer anyway.
16:41As the threats escalate, the officer decides that he's hurt enough.
16:46At this point right now, what I'm gonna do is I want you to turn around
16:49and put your hands behind your back for me.
16:51I want you to interlace your fingers.
16:53Keep your hands right there.
16:56And as he's loaded into the police vehicle, the neighbor doubles down.
17:00Next time I see you, I'll probably be in a coffin.
17:04And so will he.
17:07Which I'm planning on.
17:09At the station, a breathalyzer test reveals his blood alcohol content is .25,
17:15indicating severe intoxication.
17:1958-year-old Gregory is charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder.
17:25He pleads guilty and is sentenced to three years of probation.
17:29And while this feud nearly turns deadly, the two men remain neighbors.
17:34For better or worse.
17:37If he does not stay away from me, we're both gonna go up there.
17:48Get the **** out of here.
17:50Fart kick your ass.
17:51Among epic conflicts on neighborhood wars.
17:55Get the **** out of here now.
17:58Some stand out for their profound pettiness.
18:01And Caitlin Bowden is in a war of what might be the pettiest neighbor complaint ever.
18:06Keep the water off my driveway.
18:09One day, while Caitlin and her husband are washing their car, water flows onto the neighbor's side of their shared
18:16driveway.
18:16And that doesn't sit well with her.
18:19I mean, it's water.
18:20It's water.
18:23Yeah.
18:24It's water.
18:25She claims the water might damage her side of the driveway, leading to cracks.
18:31And she's not letting this argument evaporate.
18:34Ruins your driveway.
18:35You just got water on your driveway.
18:37Is that gonna ruin it?
18:38I'm doing it.
18:39The conflict quickly shifts from water to property lines.
18:44I can do what I want on my driveway.
18:46It's my property.
18:47You know, you run over for your dog.
18:49Do you not understand the word trespass?
18:52Oh, my gosh.
18:53Call the cops.
18:55I don't have to call the cops.
18:57There's rat poison in my yard now.
18:59Oh, great.
19:00I hope so, too.
19:02Because now I have that all on recording.
19:04And when they do run over there and die, it'll be your fault.
19:07Caitlin tries to end the conversation.
19:10But the neighbor won't let it go.
19:12Yeah.
19:13I don't go on your driveway.
19:15I have my own driveway to go on.
19:17I'm so sorry that water got on your driveway.
19:19God bless your soul and I hope your days get better.
19:22My days are great.
19:23I don't see it like this.
19:25The neighbor heads back inside and Caitlin continues washing her car.
19:30A few months later, the driveway drama finally dries up when the neighbor moves out.
19:36And Caitlin says her new neighbors don't care if a little water splashes their way.
19:41It's water.
19:43It's water.
19:44It's water.
19:44And it went into the driveway.
19:51New York City is a place where you never know what you'll see.
19:55From subway performers to rats carrying pizza.
20:00This is your best life.
20:00Nothing phases New Yorkers until these neighbors see something truly unbelievable.
20:07What is going on?
20:09He just ran.
20:12Jumped from one to the next.
20:13A man in a suit strolls along the edge of a high rise 23 floors up.
20:19Usually it's like a teenage kid that does this.
20:22But he's like an older dude wearing a suit.
20:24Yeah, right.
20:25He doesn't get paid enough to do whatever the he's doing.
20:28Before the neighbor can process what's happening.
20:31Here he goes.
20:32The man launches himself across the buildings.
20:35What is he doing?
20:39What the wind looks so windy out there, dude?
20:43Somebody's opening a window on the end.
20:45But just like that, the mystery man lands safely on the other side.
20:50Wow.
20:56The local news tracks him down and learns he's the building super.
21:00A tenant has a plumbing leak and instead of using the elevator, he takes a high stakes approach.
21:06Only in New York City does the neighborhood watch involve parkour.
