00:10You touched me.
00:11Don't touch my camera.
00:12The cops are on the way.
00:14What are you doing?
00:15This is private property.
00:16What are you doing?
00:18We think it's okay to let your dog piss all over stuff.
00:22Have a nice day, you f***head.
00:25Hey, what are you doing here?
00:28I like people who follow the f***ing rules from this property.
00:31That's what's wrong.
00:32I want you to stop stopping.
00:34Stop it.
00:34I hate you.
00:35You're in the two-way street.
00:37I hate you as much as you hate me.
00:39I'm not as into it something.
00:41Oh, my God.
00:42My kid?
00:44Did they get out of my house?
00:46As one in five Americans move to the suburbs, neighbor complaints double.
00:51F*** out of here, you broke bitch.
00:53People are spending more time at home than ever before.
00:55They have gotten to really.
00:57So they're neighbors for better.
00:59The f*** out of this neighborhood.
01:01And worse.
01:02Oh, f*** my God.
01:04I'm chewing the f*** out of here.
01:05You're gonna be strong.
01:07From home sweet home to battle zone.
01:10What's up?
01:10Hey, hey, hey.
01:11These are.
01:12This is harassment, you f*** piece of.
01:19When neighbors make too much noise, some complain.
01:22I'm banging doors, banging everything.
01:25No, no, no, no.
01:25That's kids, man.
01:26No, no.
01:27And others retaliate.
01:29Like this woman who starts playing even louder sounds through the AC vent.
01:38In a downtown apartment complex in Atlanta, Georgia.
01:42How the f*** up?
01:43The guy in the blue shirt's partner starts recording when his downstairs neighbor shows up with her son and a
01:50noise complaint.
01:50I want you to stop stomping.
01:53I'm not intentionally stomping.
01:55You don't have to walk that hard.
01:57I understand.
01:58I don't know what you're talking about.
02:01Despite the man's protestations, it seems the downstairs neighbor is picking up sounds no one wants to hear.
02:07When you go to the bathroom, because you get up and you're like stumbling, and I hit the bathroom, because
02:13you got air in the pipe.
02:14Boop, boop, boop, boop.
02:15I don't want your pee.
02:16I don't know what this s*** is.
02:18I care about that.
02:19And for her, it's become personal.
02:21I'm your worst enemy.
02:23I'm my pain.
02:23My pain is a two-way street.
02:25I hate you as much as pain is.
02:28However, the man is flabbergasted by what she says next.
02:32As you see, I'm shooting some of my s*** right now.
02:37Awesome.
02:37I keep stomping on my head.
02:41Look, I'm going to jail just to get your ass.
02:46All I'm asking you is to be mindful that there's somebody below you.
02:52I could be a b***h, but I'm going to be a b***h, and I'll be a b***h to you if
02:56you act like a b***h.
02:58As the standoff continues, the man's partner attempts to break the tension.
03:02I'm calling now because you shall go.
03:04I'm not talking to you.
03:05I'm sorry.
03:34I'm sorry.
03:36I'm coughing on my head.
03:37I'm seeing the sheets of a f***ing thing now.
03:40Often.
03:47When 60-year-old Natalia Williams relocates from Georgia to Hollandale Beach, Florida, she's
03:53excited to buy an apartment in an over-55s community.
03:57I said, oh, this is going to be lovely.
03:59You know, I could go out in a swimming pool, swim, relax.
04:04Natalia is dealing with a recent diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
04:18Natalia says that her issues start with the president of the board, who is also a resident in the complex,
04:24and the property manager, who takes care of day-to-day operations.
04:28They've taken away my serenity.
04:32They take away my serenity.
04:34Natalia claims the president of the board is rude.
04:38And one day, her security camera catches his exchange with a fellow resident.
04:57Natalia feels compelled to act on behalf of her neighbors, so she uploads the video to social media, where it's
05:03seen more than 56,000 times.
05:05The story is picked up by a local news channel, and the president resigns.
05:11These are old people, and they need somebody that is loving and respectful.
05:16You can't handle people like that.
05:19After the video goes viral, Natalia claims the co-op tells her to remove her camera, but she refuses, as
05:25she says they are allowed.
05:27However, one day, when she is relaxing outside her unit with a friend, the property manager instructs her to take
05:33it down.
05:34You are not allowed to have anything outside on this corporation building, okay?
05:42It has to be inside.
05:44Your property manager, your right will be revoked now.
05:48Is that the thing you want?
05:50Suddenly, the property manager attempts to take the camera down herself.
05:55Oh, if you push me, girl.
05:58What are you doing?
05:59What are you doing?
06:00Don't you touch me.
06:01What are you doing?
06:02The police is on the way.
06:03What are you doing?
06:03If you touch me, I will defend myself.
06:06The cops is on the way.
06:07I was just terrified.
06:08Don't touch my camera.
06:09If you touch me.
06:10Don't touch my camera.
06:11The cops are on the way.
06:12The cops is on the way.
06:13What are you doing?
06:14It just feel like my head was about to explode.
06:17My heart beating so fast.
06:20This is private property.
06:21What are you doing?
06:22What are you doing?
06:23It is not.
06:25Move.
06:28This is private property.
06:30What are you doing?
06:30It is not.
06:31What are you doing?
06:32It is not.
06:34In an over 55s community in Hollandale Beach, Florida, 60-year-old Natalia Williams is in
06:40a dispute over whether she is permitted to have a security camera.
06:44And the situation is spiraling.
06:48Move.
06:49What are you doing?
06:51Move.
06:52Why are you pushing me?
06:53You are blocking my way.
06:54It was just terrifying.
06:57I wasn't sure what's going to happen next.
07:00You have a right to occupy the bubble inside in a parking lot.
07:04That's all you own.
07:06Natalia calls the police.
07:07But when they arrive, she says she has a panic attack.
07:11And she's taken to a hospital.
07:13My blood pressure shoot up.
07:15I come here for peace because of my health.
07:21And this is what I end up with.
07:25Turmoil.
07:26Hate.
07:27That same day, Natalia returns home safely.
07:30She later files a stalking case against the property manager.
07:34But the judge dismisses it, ruling her claim doesn't meet Florida's legal definition of stalking.
07:40Natalia says there have been no further incidents.
07:43It's a little bit quiet, but I'm still living here.
07:47What are you doing?
07:48Although the property manager insists she has the legal right to take down the security camera,
07:53for now, Natalia leaves it in place.
07:56But Natalia no longer feels at home.
07:59I am putting the apartment up for a sale.
08:02I'm excited about this new move.
08:04You know, like I could just see, like, at the end of the tunnel that it's going to be all
08:09right.
08:10You're going to be okay, Natalia.
08:13Put one foot forward.
08:14You're going to be just fine.
08:17This is private property.
08:19What are you doing?
08:20It is not moving.
08:21It is not moving.
08:31Typically, fences stand for privacy and peace.
08:35But in some neighborhoods, they're an invitation for chaos.
08:47For these neighbors, tugging an overhanging branch turns into a surprise demolition project.
08:59And jumping a fence is definitely a safety hazard.
09:05But when a neighbor is out to impress, a few bruises are just part of the show.
09:14This delivery guy sizes up a metal fence with trepidation.
09:18Then he goes for it.
09:22Landing himself a spot as a neighborhood legend.
09:35In a quiet suburb of Ottawa, Canada, the man recording has a beef with a neighbor who lives close by.
09:41Here we are.
09:42We're going to confront the guy.
09:44The guy lets his dog piss in the f*** over my property.
09:47The neighbor he wishes to speak to is outside his home with his daughter.
09:51You have two dogs, right?
09:53Yep.
09:54You stop every morning and let your dog piss all over my stuff.
09:57Piss?
09:58You're a nut.
09:59I'm a nut.
10:00You're letting your dog, you just, can you explain to my daughter why you let her piss on her bike
10:04helmet?
10:04Because it was on the road.
10:06It wasn't, it was on my grass.
10:08The man recording claims that when the neighbor walks his dog past his home,
10:12the dogs relieve themselves in inappropriate spots.
10:16And he is not backing down.
10:18You let your dog piss all over my stuff.
10:21Please, you don't, you have to try to get out.
10:24You're going to threaten me?
10:25I have to piss on her helmet.
10:26Sorry, sorry.
10:28Despite the daughter's attempt to placate him,
10:30the man recording is becoming increasingly irate.
10:35This is a guy who thinks it's okay to let your dog piss all over stuff.
10:40See, look.
10:42There's a guy.
10:43Have a nice day, you f***ed head.
10:45Oh, yeah, nice.
10:46Bye, buddy.
10:48Suddenly, the neighbor stops his vehicle.
10:51You don't touch my property.
10:52You're going to threaten me?
10:55Come on, old man.
10:56What are you going to do?
10:57Get your cane this time?
10:58Bye-bye, old man.
11:00Oh, yeah.
11:00Come on.
11:01Bye-bye.
11:02Finally, the neighbor leaves.
11:04But according to the man recording, his pets are still allowed free reign.
11:09So this feud's not going to heal any time soon.
11:14Have a nice day, you f***ed head.
11:16Oh, yeah, nice.
11:17Bye, buddy.
11:19Hey!
11:20Woof, woof, woof!
11:24When disasters hit communities, neighbors don't stand by, they stand up for one another.
11:40Oh, my God, get the f***ed head.
11:42Get the f***ed head out.
11:43Early one Thursday morning in Richmond, Indiana, a woman wakes up to hear her neighbors yelling.
11:49Oh, my God, get the f***ed head out.
11:50My kids?
11:51Get out.
11:52To her horror, the woman realizes that the house next door is ablaze, and she is terrified
11:58the fire will reach her own home, where her children are asleep.
12:02Get out of the house!
12:03Come on!
12:04Each second, the smoke thickens as other neighbors rush to help.
12:08Hey, get out!
12:09Got it.
12:09Get him, help.
12:11Over there.
12:12It's burning!
12:14Get out!
12:14Come on!
12:15With the fire intensifying, the window to escape is closing fast.
12:23Now!
12:27It's burning!
12:29Come on!
12:30As a fire rages next door, neighbors in Richmond, Indiana, join forces to help a woman save her
12:37sleeping kids.
12:38Now!
12:40And every second counts.
12:43Now, baby.
12:44Come on.
12:45Come on, baby, now.
12:47Come on, honey.
12:48Is that it?
12:49Yes!
12:49No, my cat!
12:50Don't worry.
12:51I'm sorry.
12:52That's it!
12:53Are you okay?
12:53Did they get everybody out?
12:54Yeah.
12:55Luckily, the woman, her children, and the family cat reach safety, but the courageous neighbors
13:01who come to their aid remain in danger inside the house.
13:04Get everybody out!
13:05Is there more people upstairs?
13:09Come on!
13:09Hold on.
13:10Get out!
13:10Get out!
13:11Finally, everyone makes it out.
13:16And the emergency crews prevent the fire from spreading.
13:20The neighbors next door are airlifted to the hospital, where they're being treated for
13:25severe burns.
13:26The mother is 23-year-old Sierra Marley.
13:30She and her children are checked for smoke inhalation, but they are fine.
13:34Sierra is shaking, but grateful to live in a neighborhood that shows up when it counts.
13:39Did they get everybody out?
13:41Yeah.
13:41Did they get everybody out?
13:42Oh, there's cops here.
13:51While some avid anglers cast their lines with consent.
13:55I was looking to get permission to fish, and I figured I would come up and ask.
14:00Oh, fishing is f***ing crazy.
14:01Yeah, I bet.
14:03That's a good one, dude.
14:05Others end up hooking neighborhood rage instead.
14:08If you don't leave in five minutes, we'll call them the police.
14:11We'll get your s***.
14:12I have all my s***.
14:14In the relaxed Gulf Coast city of Palm Harbor, Florida, a woman is recording herself fishing
14:20with her stepson when a stranger makes a complaint.
14:23No, there's no fishing.
14:25The stranger is coming in hot.
14:28Hey, how about we fly?
14:30Come on, we're going to get off my mouth.
14:32And she does something jaw-dropping.
14:34Oh, really?
14:37Oh, f***.
14:39Hey, what are you doing with you?
14:42I like people who follow the f***ing rules on this property.
14:45That's what's wrong.
14:46Call cops.
14:47We take it.
14:48I do it.
14:49It's unclear whether the pair are allowed to fish in that spot.
14:53But without warning, the confrontation takes a wild turn.
14:57f*** my f***, b***h.
14:59Would you like me to right now?
15:02Drop him.
15:03I got teeth.
15:04Go somewhere else.
15:06The woman stops recording, but she says when the police arrive, no charges are pressed.
15:11And she doesn't see the angry stranger again.
15:14When the video goes viral, racking up over 4 million views, it's clear the biggest catch of the day isn't
15:22a fish.
15:23It's some serious pushback.
15:25Would you like me to right now?
15:28Drop him.
15:29I got you.
15:36Across the pond in England, 40-year-old Alan Warburton and his family move 30 miles from London to a
15:43pretty village in Hertfordshire.
15:45And at first, he is charmed.
15:47It's a really nice neighborhood that we live in.
15:50It's a very small village.
15:51She's only got two pups in it, one church, and that's really all there is to it.
15:56Next door to Alan is a woman in her 30s, and he is delighted when her boyfriend moves in.
16:02Well, I was thinking, this is great.
16:03This is a new guy next door.
16:04We can go for a drink in the pub.
16:06After Alan's fence is damaged by a storm, Alan claims his neighbor's boyfriend offers to replace it.
16:13Little did I know at this point, this was a start of a nightmare that was actually going to cost
16:17me far more than I originally thought.
16:20Alan claims that he gives the neighbor's boyfriend over $1,200 for the job.
16:25But after three weeks, only the concrete posts are installed.
16:29And the neighbor's boyfriend keeps asking for more money for materials.
16:33So Alan says he sends him a text.
16:36I'm a bit worried about the cost and the time going up.
16:40So I think it might be a good idea to get a fencer to finish the job.
16:44And the neighbor's boyfriend responds.
16:46This is why I don't do side jobs anymore.
16:49I realized sort of inside that I wasn't going to be getting that money back,
16:53and I wasn't going to be getting a fence done either.
16:56Alan says he asks for a refund, minus what the neighbor's boyfriend has already spent.
17:01But several weeks later, he has not received one.
17:04So he sends a text to the neighbor and her boyfriend.
17:07Where has the money gone?
17:09I will give you till 6 p.m. tonight to do a bank transfer.
17:14The next day, his neighbor shows up to his door.
17:21And it emerges there's an issue with his neighbor's boyfriend.
17:25I don't even know where he is.
17:27He's just done a run-up.
17:29I find the whole thing strange.
17:30Well, so do I.
17:31But he screwed me over more than he screwed you over.
17:34So I've lost a boyfriend.
17:36I'm single again.
17:37Your boyfriend is a liar, a cheat.
17:38Yeah.
17:38So now you're getting nasty.
17:40My neighbor's getting upset in front of the house.
17:42She's shouting at me.
17:43Things are escalating.
17:44Not quite sure how she wants me to behave.
17:47Does she expect me to just pretend everything's okay?
17:49So where are you coming out?
17:52Your boyfriend is a liar, a cheat.
17:54So now you're getting nasty.
17:55In a picturesque village in Hertfordshire, England, 40-year-old Alan Warburton is locked in a heated dispute with his
18:02next-door neighbor.
18:03Over a fence her ex-boyfriend is supposed to build.
18:07I'm deliberately trying to stay cool.
18:09How am I lasting?
18:10What's the thing?
18:11You've just come around to my house.
18:15Alan realizes that the neighbor is trying to give him the cash owed to him by her now-absent ex
18:20-boyfriend.
18:21I'm not asking that and I'm not going to accept it.
18:23Despite Alan's protest, the neighbor dumps the money in his hallway.
18:27However, a couple of hours later, Alan suddenly hears a noise outside his window.
18:33And he says he recognizes his neighbor's dad.
18:37It's 47 days I've waited for this money back.
18:40It doesn't matter.
18:40It's got nothing to do with her.
18:42Do you understand that?
18:43Show willing now to give her the money back.
18:46Alan does indeed give the money back and no charges are filed.
18:50Alan employs a professional to build a new fence for his yard.
18:54He's surprised that he never hears from the neighbor's boyfriend, but he treats it as a lesson learned.
19:00I'd be absolutely wary of trusting friends, family or neighbors to work on anything to do with my house again.
19:07And while the relationship with the next door neighbor is poor, there is a glimmer of hope.
19:12If we can move on from this, we want to.
19:15But obviously the ball's not in our court, the ball's in our neighbor's court.
19:1847 days I've waited for this money back.
19:21It doesn't matter.
19:21It doesn't matter.
19:22It doesn't matter.
19:22Do you understand?
19:28Cops get called over neighborhood issues.
19:31Get off!
19:34No matter how small.
19:41Like this police officer in Bradenton, Florida, who responds to reports of an unusual neighborhood visitor.
19:49Large and in charge, this eight-foot gator is blocking access to the front door
19:54and keeping the neighbor's meal across the street out of reach.
19:59Sorry, I'm just celebrating.
20:01Oh, okay.
20:03Stop, stop, stop.
20:04There's an alligator underneath that car right there.
20:07The not-quite-fearless delivery worker is determined, but unsure how to make the handoff.
20:14I'm from New York, and I've never seen...
20:17You don't want to see.
20:18Maybe go around the back.
20:20Um, she...
20:21I'm a little scared.
20:23So, it's up to this policeman to save dinner.
20:26Do you want to do an officer?
20:33But his duty is not over yet, as the elderly neighbor opens the front door to a snappy surprise.
20:40Ma'am, get back over there.
20:42There's an alligator right under your car.
20:44Oh, my God!
20:46Not even an alligator can deter her appetite.
20:50Get in the house!
20:52Where's my pizza?
20:54I'll take it to the back door.
20:56Holy...
20:59Here's your pizza.
21:02Because in this neighborhood, cops don't just serve and protect, they serve dinner, too.
21:07Yeah, how much was it, three?
21:08I have no idea.
21:09I'm not the pizza man.
21:10So, I'll tell you...
21:10soup, it's not a royalty.
21:10Okay, so...
21:11What's up?
21:11Or I'll cook them for another drink.
21:11Then, take it to the back door.
