17:18full recovery this is quite the experience and these brave neighbors prove that when the heat is on
17:24Having each other's backs can make all the difference.
17:28Aaron's carrying a dude.
17:37Neighborhood leash laws differ from state to state.
17:40But there's one thing that unites them all.
17:44Could you please put your dogs on the leash?
17:46You're unsophisticated.
17:47Please.
17:48And you're obnoxious.
17:49Neighbors get fired up over off-leash dogs.
17:52You're ugly.
17:54You have no manners.
17:56There's actually a California leash law.
18:00Like in Los Angeles, California,
18:02when a woman sees her neighbor's pet freely roaming in front of her apartment.
18:07Let me educate you.
18:08Let me educate you.
18:10Go back to China.
18:11Oh, wow.
18:12The woman recording asks her neighbor to put a leash on the dog.
18:15But tempers flare when the neighbor refuses.
18:18I don't want your dog to get hurt.
18:20This is the woman who called me a bitch.
18:22You are not putting your dog on a leash.
18:26Los Angeles law requires dogs to be on a leash when out in public.
18:30But as the argument continues, it's clear this isn't their first run-in.
18:36Everybody hates you now.
18:37Breaking the California law.
18:39And she called me a bitch.
18:39And you are racist.
18:40For being outside my house.
18:41I'm having Karen.
18:43I'm just educating you.
18:44I'm an Asian, Karen.
18:45You are.
18:46And you look like one.
18:47I'm just.
18:47You look like one.
18:49I'm just educating you.
18:49You told me.
18:50Tell me to go back to China.
18:52What did you tell me the last time I was here?
18:54Go back to your country.
18:55You told me.
18:56No, I'm asking you nicely.
18:57You know what she said the last time she met me?
18:59She said, bitch, go back to your country.
19:01So do I have to look Asian to be told go back to my country?
19:07The woman recording stands her ground.
19:09But the neighbor doesn't fold.
19:12His dog, you're on leash.
19:13There's a police station at the top of the road.
19:15Go up and do what you want to do.
19:16I will come.
19:17I will send this video.
19:18Oh, my God.
19:19You're going to break my camera.
19:19You're so ugly.
19:21I'm not.
19:22I am.
19:23I'm asking you nicely.
19:25But you are being a Karen.
19:27You don't have to ask anything nicely.
19:28You are breaking California law.
19:30The leash law.
19:31Do you understand English?
19:32Okay, I'm done with you.
19:34Do you understand English?
19:35And I will formally do you listen?
19:37Do you understand English?
19:37Yeah.
19:38Okay.
19:39What's your last name?
19:40What's your last name?
19:41Wong Kong Hai.
19:42Okay, you're a finger racist.
19:44After the confrontation, the woman recording heads to the local police station to file a complaint.
19:50The woman says she hasn't run into her neighbors since.
19:54And in this neighborhood, it's clear dogs aren't the only ones who need to be kept in check.
20:01California, you're a bitch.
20:02You're a racist.
20:10One Friday evening in an unassuming neighborhood of Terrell, Texas, two friends show up at their buddy's house.
20:17We can't answer the door right now, but if you'd like to leave a message, you can do it now.
20:21Bottle in hand, they're ready to kick off girls' night.
20:25Bottle in hand, they're ready to kick off girls' night.
20:26But where is everyone?
20:30Hi.
20:31Hey, how are y'all?
20:34I'm Terrell.
20:36Oh, wait.
20:38Wait.
20:42Is Maddie not here?
20:45Maddie not here?
20:46What?
20:47The friends seem shocked to discover that they have just walked into the wrong house.
20:52Probably the next house you want to.
20:53I'm so sorry.
20:54I'm just walking.
20:55I'm so sorry.
20:57What the f***?
20:58As the friends make a hasty retreat, one thing is clear, the real party is somewhere else in the neighborhood,
21:05and so is their dignity.
21:08Is Maddie not here?
21:09No.
21:10It's Maddie not here.
21:10It's Maddie not here.
21:11It's Maddie not here.
21:11It's Maddie not here.
21:11It's Maddie not here.
21:11It's Maddie not here.
21:12It's Maddie not here.
