00:10I don't want trash next to my sister's bench.
00:14You know, you're touching at me.
00:16I'm going to give you one chance to pay your damn rent.
00:21My husband's in the hospital. He died.
00:22I hope he died.
00:24What are you doing?
00:25Get out of the car.
00:27Stop. Just stop.
00:28Stop driving.
00:30Stop driving.
00:31You're being a menace. Get out of the vehicle.
00:33I believe in God.
00:34I would not be asking these neighbors for a cup of sugar anytime soon.
00:41As one in five Americans move to the suburbs, neighbor complaints double.
00:46Get the out of here, you broke bitch.
00:48People are spending more time at home than ever before.
00:51They have gotten to really know their neighbors for better.
00:55The out of this neighborhood.
00:57And worse.
00:57Stop.
00:59I'm suing the f*** at you.
01:01You're going to be sorry.
01:02From home sweet home to battle zone.
01:05What's up?
01:06Hey, hey, hey.
01:06These are...
01:07This is harassment, you fat piece of...
01:14Neighbors trash talking about trash is unfortunately not so uncommon.
01:19What the f*** is that?
01:21In Sarasota, Florida, a mother finds herself the target of a neighbor's frustration after her son leaves a bag of
01:27snacks beside a seaside bench before heading off to the restroom with his sister and dad.
01:32This bench, I donated because of my late sister passed away.
01:38Okay, so my son just said it there and he walked to the bathroom and he'll be back soon and
01:44we'll pick it up.
01:44I'm asking if it can be...
01:48Okay, but now you're attacking me because it's just sitting there and my son will bring it.
01:53I'm asking you to be respectful.
01:55Caught off guard by the woman's tone, the mother pushes back, causing the woman in black to pipe in.
02:01Because my son just set it down and he's going to come right back and pick it up.
02:04It's really not that big of a deal.
02:06For other people, it is.
02:07And they can literally walk back and pick it right back up.
02:10But she only asked you if it was okay if she...
02:12If I could respectfully move it.
02:14And when the mother continues holding firm...
02:16It's not your business to pick it up, though.
02:18The woman is set off.
02:20I don't want trash next to my sister's f***ing bench.
02:24Now you're messing at me.
02:25F*** you.
02:27Angered, the bereaved woman storms away.
02:29But moments later, the daughter of the mother on the bench returns, recording the altercation from her phone.
02:35She paid for this bench because she had a very difficult, difficult life.
02:42Just stop talking for one minute so I can tell your children.
02:45I don't even know.
02:47She will not stop talking.
02:49And the talking over reaches a boiling point.
02:52She will not shut up for half a second.
02:54You're minding my business, reading a book, and you come and tap it.
02:59So I'm so sorry, children, because...
03:04According to the mother, the woman in black walks away in frustration.
03:08And the bizarre interaction ends without further incident.
03:11And while donated benches are designed for good memories, this moment is one worth forgetting.
03:17I don't want trash next to my sister's f***ing bench.
03:26California's Bay Area is a picturesque region with plenty of wonderful landmarks.
03:32For one homeowner, going by Lori, who doesn't wish to show her face for reasons that will become apparent,
03:38says the region and her condo are second to none.
03:41I really love this area.
03:43Love the redwood trees.
03:45I also like the access to the city.
03:48I'm like, I'm in my dream home.
03:49For Lori and her husband, there are many positives that come with the home.
03:54And according to them, one noticeable negative.
03:57The neighbor who lives in the unit below mine, she can be incredibly friendly
04:02and then flip a switch and be a really nasty, rude person.
04:09One afternoon, Lori hears scraping noises coming from the front of her building.
04:14So she goes outside to see what's causing it.
04:17I see her car pulled up, blocking the staircase, and she starts kind of basically going up and back and
04:24up and back.
04:25She's hitting the building.
04:26You shouldn't be driving.
04:28You just hit the side of the...
04:30Oh, my God!
04:31Despite Lori and her husband's pleas that the neighbor is driving on an area intended solely for pedestrians,
04:37she continues.
04:38Stop!
04:39Just stop!
04:40Stop driving!
04:41Stop driving!
04:42You're being a menace!
04:43Get out of the vehicle!
04:45The neighbor continues her erratic driving while Lori's husband is on the phone with the police.
04:51She just backed up into a tree and she's hitting the building.
04:56Soon, the police show up and are told details of the incident, details that the neighbor rebuffs.
05:02Everybody parks their car there.
05:05Don't touch me!
05:06Then stay over here.
05:07Don't go at people like they're going to attack them.
05:09Don't touch me.
05:09Maintenance people always are up in the lot, so why can't I?
05:13I've got to put my very heavy...
05:16As the officer tries to speak with the neighbor, things get physical.
05:20We don't touch me!
05:26What the hell?
05:27Northern California.
05:30A neighbor smacks a police officer after he responds to a call about her erratic driving.
05:35Do me a favor.
05:36You're not free to leave.
05:37Do not touch me.
05:38Don't hit me.
05:39Put your hands down.
05:40No!
05:41They cannot do this to me.
05:43I can't.
05:44Ultimately, they arrested her for drinking and driving.
05:47While it's not known that the neighbor is charged in court for her actions behind the wheel,
05:51Lori claims her arrest results in a disturbing interaction the very next day.
05:56Yeah, cool.
05:57Don't touch me.
05:58Stop.
05:59You're hitting me.
05:59I'm pretty shocked that someone would do that.
06:02It's outrageous.
06:03It's traumatic.
06:05And in the most disturbing, disgusting manner.
06:08Do it.
06:08Video was given to the police and used to help secure a restraining order.
06:12But Lori claims she doesn't listen.
06:14What are you doing?
06:15You're not supposed to be up here.
06:16The DA does nothing.
06:18There's no accountability there for her.
06:21What are you doing?
06:23The neighbor's ongoing behavior has a very upsetting effect on Lori.
06:26You should be driving.
06:27But she takes comfort that her ordeal will be a lesson for others.
06:31I just hope that for anyone who is dealing with a neighbor dispute, that they're able to recognize that this
06:38person has their own issues and it really isn't about you.
06:42What are you doing?
06:43Get out of the car!
06:49Many neighbors are landlords and tenants, and the financial agreements between them can be quite complicated.
06:55This is your last rent.
06:57I can't live under duress.
06:59In Notoway County, Missouri, a landlord is at the front door of a renter who is late on her payment,
07:05and he isn't happy about it.
07:07You, I'm going to give you one last chance to pay your damn rent, or you're going to be homeless.
07:15Okay.
07:16I will take every step I can for your skanky ass to go homeless.
07:22The landlord is furious with the tenant, who he thinks is taking advantage of him.
07:27We took a chance on you, helped you out, and this is how you repay us?
07:31And the amount of disrespect from my mother yesterday?
07:34When the renter tries to explain herself, she's met with even more outrage.
07:39My husband's in the hospital.
07:40He's dying.
07:40I hope he dies.
07:42I hope he dies.
07:43You are the worst tenants that we've ever had.
07:47Pay the rent.
07:49I have $500 right now.
07:51That's all we wanted.
07:52Treat her with some respect and pay some rent.
07:55I've got so much going on.
07:56I know you guys don't want to hear any of it, okay?
07:58I've kept my own problems.
08:00Seemingly fed up with her excuses, the inconvenienced landlord dishes out his frustrations.
08:06You push people and push people and push people, and then when they push them,
08:10you push back, you can't understand it.
08:13Ultimately, the tenant pays her rent, and the argument ends, but not before she is given
08:18some unsolicited advice.
08:20Maybe the trash you got living with you would help you a little bit.
08:24Your life would be easier.
08:26Pay the rent.
08:34Methuen, Massachusetts is a vibrant town just 30 minutes outside of Boston.
08:38And for Megan Sargent, her wife Steph, and their six children, the community is accepting
08:44of their relationship and welcoming to their large, blended family.
08:48Methuen is cool.
08:50It's diverse.
08:51There's a lot of different cultures all living side by side here.
08:55And it's, you know, kind of like a little suburban paradise.
08:58While Megan enjoys her neighborhood, she says one set of neighbors have been less than ideal,
09:04and their initial irritation over free giveaways left in Megan's yard quickly becomes personal.
09:10It is a very common thing if you aren't using something.
09:13We put it out back, and sometimes it's gone within a half hour.
09:17But we have neighbors, and we did not have the chance to have a good relationship.
09:24They just wanted to yell at us.
09:25First, it was about the trash, and then it quickly devolved into slurs and opinions.
09:34One day, the neighbors confront Megan's wife outside their home.
09:38You people think that you have the whole world to yourselves.
09:41You people.
09:42I stick up for God because I believe in God.
09:45Who do you believe in?
09:46The offending neighbors, they're very religious.
09:49They talk about, you know, how we offend their, you know, sensibilities and whatever.
09:55She said, F God, I don't like that talk.
09:58Not to me she can.
10:01And you.
10:02We created you too.
10:03And everything's to my wife.
10:04I need you to do it to her.
10:06According to Megan, the neighbor's personal beliefs lead to targeted comments about her family.
10:11You're the talk of this whole neighborhood.
10:14You know what they say about that house?
10:16As Megan's wife defends herself and the family, the woman gives some choice words, which are volleyed right back.
10:24Don't you ever insult my life to my faith.
10:26You don't know what you're lying.
10:28I am a slut.
10:29You are a lawyer.
10:29You are in your winter.
10:30Maybe if you had an orgasm every now and then, you won't be such a bitch.
10:33Don't you ever make fun of my life to my faith.
10:35You want to stand?
10:36I will.
10:37He is my lawyer.
10:38You don't talk like that to me about him.
10:40I can say whatever I want about you.
10:42You've been doing that.
10:42I am a queer.
10:43We're getting gay bastards.
10:48Methuen, Massachusetts.
10:49Lesbian couple and parents of six kids.
10:52Megan Sargent and her wife, Steph, are in an argument with their next door neighbors who have strong opinions about
10:57their sexual orientation.
10:59Don't you ever insult my law to my faith.
11:01Then don't you care.
11:02We're getting gay bastards.
11:03I'm a gay bastard.
11:04You have to mention God to me like that.
11:06We don't care.
11:07We're not talking about God.
11:08We're only asking you to walk away.
11:10If you don't want us to talk to you, stop talking to us.
11:14Fed up with the conversation, Megan and Steph walk away.
11:18And the interactions between the two sides cease, but only temporarily.
11:22Their signature move is keeping calm, keeping quiet for a while.
11:26And then when they think, oh, maybe everyone's forgot, they start up again.
11:31Months later, Megan hears her wife arguing with the neighbor.
11:34So she heads outside and starts recording.
11:36We have recorded you talking about gays and stuff.
11:39So good luck to you.
11:40I f***ed you.
11:41Right here, right here.
11:44Oh, f***ing God.
11:45At least I have a f***.
11:46You don't have.
11:47You wish you had one.
11:48You disgusting freak.
11:50I have you on camera.
11:52No f***ing at us.
11:54You can shove it up your ass.
11:56It was not okay.
11:57It was like one of those, if you didn't see it, would you have believed it?
12:01That somebody could just be so brazen and just say these things and do those things?
12:06Furious by what she's witnessing, Megan calls out the neighbor for his behavior before walking inside.
12:11You've told us a lot of stupid s***.
12:13Go in the house.
12:14Days later, after another outburst results in police stopping by, Megan records an officer addressing the neighbor.
12:21Back up.
12:23Back up.
12:26Back up.
12:26Yeah, she's going to go to arrest him.
12:28When he started yelling at the police and she yelled back, I was like, finally, you know, like somebody put
12:38this man in his place.
12:40Jeez, that felt so good.
12:44Megan and her wife don't file any official complaints with the police, but they do try to keep contact with
12:50the neighbors to an absolute minimum.
12:52I would not be asking these neighbors for a cup of sugar anytime soon.
12:57And as frustrating as the situation is to Megan, she isn't willing to change who she is, saying...
13:03It's okay to be gay.
13:05You can shove it up your ass.
13:11Mailboxes are a common sight in many neighborhoods.
13:14Unfortunately, for some homeowners, they're also targets.
13:18Like in Hudson, Wisconsin, where a red sedan passes a freestanding mailbox and seconds later...
13:28...bashes it to pieces.
13:30In Topeka, Kansas, a homeowner's doorbell camera captures his neighbor's mailbox getting clipped by a passing vehicle, sending debris flying.
13:44An SUV driving through one Memphis, Tennessee neighborhood goes off-road and takes out a defenseless mailbox.
13:55The loud crash, an alert from the security camera, sends the homeowners out to their front yard.
14:01Are you serious?
14:03F***ing serious?
14:04Pull up the whole f***ing mailbox.
14:06The husband is less than thrilled by the errand rundown, but his wife seemingly takes it in stride.
14:12It sounds good. I said I wanted a new man.
14:15While the previous incidents are all seemingly senseless hidden runs caused by strangers,
14:20one mailbox in Oklahoma City is taken out by an unlikely culprit, the mailman himself.
14:27On his normal route, the mailman loses control of his truck, which clips the mailbox and sends him tumbling out
14:34the open door.
14:38Multiple home security cameras capture the wayward truck as it careens across a neighbor's yard...
14:47...crashing into a tree.
14:50Thankfully for the postal carrier, the accident only results in a few bumps and scrapes...
14:55...and a bruised ego.
15:00And instead of racing off like other drivers, this mailman does the right thing...
15:05...delivering the news of his damage directly to the homeowner.
15:15A common and somewhat obvious similarity between suspected neighborhood porch pirates is their desire to not get caught.
15:23Come here right now. I'm trying to steal my s***. I work f***ing hard for it.
15:26In Fayette County, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta...
15:29A police officer is investigating a call about a suspected porch pirate who just fled the scene of a car
15:36crash.
15:36Okay, you got porch pirates here. That's where all these packages are from.
15:41The call sends the officer to a suburban neighborhood where other officers have tracked the man who is believed to
15:47be armed and dangerous.
15:49There's a hat back here. That's probably his hat.
15:51In addition to the K-9 unit that helps canvass the area, a drone provides aerial support.
15:57See, he went this way?
15:58The search continues across multiple neighbors' backyards to a manhole where the suspect is hiding.
16:04Come out! All the way out!
16:06Back up! Come on!
16:10Come out with your hands first!
16:12In Fayette County, Georgia, a suspected porch pirate is trying to evade capture by hiding in a drain.
16:21No one's gonna hurt you if you come out.
16:23But instead of complying, the man tries to escape.
16:27That's the wrong way, buddy!
16:29For several minutes, the officers try to coax the suspect out of the drain, but to no avail.
16:34Put the dog in, he's gonna bite you.
16:36With units positioned at potential openings nearby, they wait for the man to climb out.
16:42Then they send the drone down to get a better look at the situation.
16:46All right, we're trying to throw a drone in there.
16:49The police are able to see the man, but he's refusing to cooperate.
16:54He's not going anywhere. The problem, the issue is how do we get him out of here?
16:57We're gonna get him out of here. Let's go!
16:59The K-9 unit is sent through a separate entrance.
17:02And it flushes the man up and out of the drain, with the dog literally nipping at his heels.
17:08Hands up! Stand still!
17:11After nearly two hours of tracking, the suspect is taken into custody and booked on nearly a dozen charges,
17:19including theft by receiving stolen property, obstruction of an officer, and drug possession.
17:25Hands up!
17:26Thankfully, with the coordination of law enforcement and one determined dog,
17:30this suspected porch pirate won't be disappearing down a drain again anytime soon.
17:35All right, the dog's coming out!
17:40For most youth sports spectators, the attention is directed towards the field,
17:45but sometimes more drama is happening on the sidelines.
17:49I'm not running in the middle of your door!
17:51Oh my God! No!
17:52In Sunnyvale, California, a bizarre confrontation on the sideline of a kid's soccer game is captured by one of the
18:00player's mothers.
18:01I love it!
18:02Hey!
18:03Okay!
18:04Thank you!
18:06Thank you!
18:06All right, have a lovely day!
18:09According to the mom, the woman in red takes issue with a wagon blocking the walking track beside the field,
18:15and gets into the face of another parent.
18:18We're all recording you and how aggressive you're being and insane.
18:21The two record each other before the woman starts calling the police.
18:28Lady, you're gonna go to jail. I'm telling you right now.
18:31We all witnessed your behavior, so you can complain to whoever it is you want to complain to.
18:36You're against all of us, and we all...
18:38Despite the teen parents' collective outrage, the woman stands firm as she talks to the police.
18:44Oh my God! The Karenism is real.
18:48For for sake, you're a grown woman.
18:51We're watching you.
18:52As the woman explains her side, the parents take issue with her claims.
18:58You did not ask kindly. That's such crap. You slipped off our children. You said the F-bomb.
19:03When the woman finally finishes the phone call, the parents give her a piece of their minds.
19:10You're crazy!
19:11She called the police because she felt threatened when she was testing it up.
19:16She called the police because she felt threatened.
19:19It's not known that the police show up.
19:21One parent has some parting words for the disruptive woman.
19:25The game's already over. You can get out of here.
19:32After a fun night of drinking, making it safely back inside the house can be trickier than anticipated.
19:42In real Wales, a man celebrating his 21st birthday is walked home by his friends.
19:48It's not the wrong one.
19:49It's not the wrong one.
19:49It's not the wrong one.
19:50It's not the wrong one.
19:52Yeah, you've got too many.
19:53It's not the wrong one.
19:54You're at your limit.
19:55It's not the wrong one.
19:56Despite being a little merry, the man's friends give him some good advice.
20:08I want you to go in.
20:11Watching the hilarious moment through the doorbell camera is the man's mother who cheekily pipes in.
20:19Don't you be being sick?
20:21Your mum's talking to you.
20:22No, he's not being sick.
20:23No, he's not being sick.
20:24No, we've got him already.
20:25He'll be being sick.
20:28Where's your ass?
20:29Are you in yet?
20:31I'm locking the door.
20:33It's the wrong door, mate.
20:34It's the wrong key.
20:35It's not the wrong door, mate.
20:37They'd have to swap the door mid-day, have they?
20:40Realising the man is struggling, one of the friends helps him out.
20:44Get yourself in.
20:45Oh, Lord.
20:48Right, thanks for walking.
20:50With their mate securely inside, the friends take their leave.
20:53Get in.
20:54I know, I know.
20:59Everybody's awake, it's fine.
21:01And their good deed is not lost on the appreciative mother who can rest easy with her son home safe
21:06and reasonably sound.
21:09Cheers for walking him home.
21:10Bye, Lawson.
21:11Bye.
