00:13And go brush your dirty mouth.
00:14f**k my dirty mouth.
00:16Yo, bitch, get my phone back.
00:18She didn't steal your phone, bro.
00:19Yes, she did. I had a pretty phone, bro.
00:21Didn't take f**king from you.
00:24I'll see you again.
00:26Okay.
00:33What the f**k is wrong with you, bro?
00:35F**king my f**king minor.
00:36You almost hit me.
00:37F**king minor, bro.
00:38What the f**k is wrong with you?
00:40I'm recording you, bitch.
00:42As one in five Americans move to the suburbs, neighbor complaints double.
00:47Get the f**k out of here, you broke bitch.
00:49People are spending more time at home than ever before.
00:51They have gotten to really know their neighbors for better.
00:55Get the f**k out of this neighborhood.
00:57And worse.
00:58Oh, f**k my God.
01:00I'm suing the f**k out of you.
01:01Let me stop.
01:02From home sweet home to battle zone.
01:05What's up?
01:06Hey, hey, hey.
01:07These are.
01:08This is harassment, you fat piece of t-
01:16Boardwalks are popular gathering places in many beachside neighborhoods.
01:20Where locals and tourists can enjoy the coast in a fun and active way.
01:26But in Hollywood, Florida, a teenager and his friend are cruising through pedestrian traffic
01:31on their bikes.
01:32When this happens.
01:38The bike rider is suddenly knocked on the ground by a middle-aged man.
01:42Caught off guard, the rider confronts the individual, giving him a piece of his mind
01:47and gets a piece of his in return.
01:50What the f**k is wrong with you, bro?
01:53What the f**k is wrong with you, bro?
01:55I'm a f**king minor.
01:56You almost hit me f**king minor.
01:58What the f**k is wrong with you?
01:59I'm recording you, bitch.
02:00I'm a f**king minor.
02:02Infuriated, both sides begin yelling at one another, believing the other is at fault.
02:07You want me to call the cops?
02:09You just assaults f**king the f**king jail.
02:11You're going to f**king jail.
02:13You lucky I converted.
02:14I gave my life to Jesus.
02:16That's the only reason I'm not f**king holding my hands on you, bitch.
02:19The rider immediately calls the police as his friend and the man's companion try to control
02:24the scene.
02:25Hello, this man just assaulted me and pushed me off my bike and I'm 16 on the boardwalk.
02:29Yeah, I'm recording everything on my camera.
02:31He just pushed me off my bike.
02:33Yeah.
02:34As the team follows the man down the boardwalk, he repeats his frustrations.
02:39I'm f**king 16, bro.
02:40You just assaulted me.
02:42I have everything on GoPro.
02:44After following the man for several minutes, the two finally see a police officer and approach
02:50with their complaints.
02:51Officer, he assaulted me and I have it on camera.
02:54These guys are riding down.
02:56The officer listens to both sides and after reviewing the rider's video, gives his thoughts.
03:02You can't wheelie on the boardwalk.
03:03It's a violation and a city ordinance.
03:05Okay.
03:05So you're technically broke the law at that point.
03:06Also, it doesn't give any right for you to push someone off the boardwalk.
03:09I wasn't trying.
03:09I was just trying to stop.
03:11Listen, I'm trying to explain to both of you guys.
03:13I'm not just saying that you're wrong and he's right and he's right and you're wrong.
03:16I'm saying that you guys are both.
03:17All right.
03:18I agree with you.
03:19With the cyclist's mom now present, the officer explains the situation.
03:25He just showed me video of him wheelie on the boardwalk.
03:27It's a city ordinance and a violation and you can't do that.
03:30Cutting in and out of people is unsafe.
03:32Gentleman here, push them off the bike.
03:34All right.
03:34So if you guys want to go on to that cause of him getting pushed off the bike, it's a
03:38battery.
03:39You guys take it to the state attorney.
03:40I can tell you this.
03:41It's going to be the same thing.
03:43He's going to have to have a violation on him.
03:45It's not known whether either party faces consequences for their actions, but it's
03:50a helpful reminder that two wrongs don't make a right.
03:54And when it comes to beachside boardwalks, it's hopeful that this one in Florida can be
04:00enjoyed safely by all.
04:04What the is wrong with you, bro?
04:12The beauty of Northern California and the convenience of a homeowner's association
04:17seemed like a winning combination for Vincent Petrosini when he moved here to help his mother
04:2310 years ago.
04:24The community's pretty quiet.
04:26It's, uh, she has a lot of trees, has a swimming pool, has a hot tub.
04:30While 49-year-old Vincent mostly enjoys the condo they live in, he says he doesn't like the
04:36way the HOA is run.
04:38I've never thought it would he ever be like this.
04:40Just a whole bad situation all around.
04:43Vincent raises what he sees as problems, but he claims to receive pushback from several
04:48HOA board members.
04:50Are you guys going to do something about that?
04:52No, we're not going to do anything about anything.
04:54Exactly.
04:55Say that again?
04:55You're not going to do anything about anything?
04:57As a board member?
04:58I put up flyers and explain, you know, what's long.
05:02Are any people here upset about it?
05:04What can we do about it?
05:06We put flyers on our garage door and the property manager is seen on video ripping it off.
05:14One evening, Vincent catches the manager removing a flyer and he confronts her.
05:19Get away from our garage right now.
05:21Get away from it.
05:22You don't care?
05:23I've got it off.
05:25Yeah, once again, destroying our property.
05:28I pulled it off.
05:31It's unclear if Vincent is allowed to put up flyers on his property, but he also installs
05:36a security camera, which the HOA board says is not permitted.
05:40The board claims Vincent is a nuisance, but he says one board member's behavior makes him
05:45feel uncomfortable.
05:49She flipped off the camera and this is completely violated.
05:53To be honest, it's totally saucy.
05:56It's a real Latin.
06:02Northern California.
06:04Longtime resident Vincent Petrosini and his mother are in an ongoing feud with several
06:10members of their HOA board.
06:12You don't care me, not even a little bit.
06:16Well, Sarah will be singled out, but somebody comes to me and points savers at my security
06:20camera or flips off the camera.
06:22I'm going to have to say something back.
06:24According to Vincent, negative interactions with neighbors who he claims side with the
06:29HOA and its members have become an all too common problem.
06:32At this point, we're used to all of this happening.
06:35I just was sticking on myself like, when is this going to end?
06:38It's just, it's never going to end.
06:39Yo, go ahead.
06:41One morning while pulling into his parking lot, a neighbor with a dog stops it.
06:46No, really?
06:48Now you're going to tell me where to park?
06:49Not when you're going to speed at me.
06:51Am I speeding at you?
06:52You did.
06:52Vincent claims the constant spats and quarrels take their toll on him, but he's more concerned
06:57at how they affect his mother.
06:59My mom's in her 70s.
07:00She shouldn't be going through this.
07:01It's not right.
07:03Vincent and his mother are taken to court for violating the HOA's regulations and for being
07:08a nuisance.
07:09Ultimately, the parties settle and agree to a dismissal of the case, and the Petrocyans
07:14consent to limit all contact with the HOA members.
07:17As far as the situation now, it can be kind of calm.
07:21They stay away from us.
07:22He is driving.
07:24Having endured his ordeal, Vincent does offer this advice for anyone in the same boat.
07:29This whole situation has taught me if you're going to live somewhere, make sure there's
07:33no HOA.
07:35You don't scare me.
07:37Not even a little bit.
07:43Oh my God.
07:45Oh my gosh.
07:46Neighbors can witness all sorts of wild scenes right outside their front doors.
07:51There is a freaking bingo tiger in this yard.
07:57Holy cow.
07:59In Anderson, South Carolina, one woman relaxing on her porch has a front row seat to two neighbors
08:05yelling in the street.
08:07Three o'clock.
08:09Shut up.
08:09You're welcome.
08:11The woman filming thinks the neighbors, a father and his grown son, are arguing about
08:16a ride, the younger man needs from his dad.
08:19Three o'clock.
08:20Can't you f***ing hear?
08:22Three o'clock down there.
08:24You f***ing up here.
08:26The bickering heats up, and suddenly the older man charges his son.
08:31You told me to tell you, I'll fire you out.
08:32Shut up.
08:33You're all right?
08:34I said shut up.
08:36Listen.

12:46over my classic car and then when i saw what was happening with the lawnmower in my car that angered

12:58property line to protect his car from the neighbor's mower and errant trimmings
