00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Episode with two stories. First part, I.

2
00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Hope you enjoy this story. The inhabitant grew very agitated

3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:10.279
<v Speaker 2>when we erected a blockade on our property as it

4
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>stops her from trespassing into our yard. She has reached

5
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:19.440
<v Speaker 2>out to authorities, filed false grievances, and is causing distress us.

6
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 2>We used to get along great with our next door neighbor.

7
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 2>For context, she is an older Polish woman who lives

8
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 2>alone and is very ocd about her grass. She will

9
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 2>pick up leaves as they fall down from the tree

10
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 2>and pick up leaves off her grass even if it

11
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 2>rained anyway. She has a front fence that she didn't

12
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>run all down her property line. She stopped it at

13
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 2>the front so her whole right side of her home

14
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.799
<v Speaker 2>is exposed. Next two hours, then picked up the fence

15
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>when her back yard begins. We had more than a

16
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>few times where strangers would enter the side of our

17
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>house and actually try and enter our home, so my

18
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 2>husband decided to put up a front fence. At the time,

19
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>my neighbor was reach doing her backyard fence, and she

20
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 2>knew my husband also wanted to do his backyard fence,

21
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>so she recommend her guy. As she followed up to

22
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 2>see if my husband called the guy to get the work.

23
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 2>My husband told her that he did, and that he

24
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 2>also asked the guy for a quote for the front

25
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 2>as well. She immediately lost it. Since then, she has

26
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 2>been acting so crazy. It started with her calling the

27
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 2>alderman and she wrongfully accused us of taking her land.

28
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 2>The alderman came and spoke with us and sided with

29
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.799
<v Speaker 2>me and my husband. The problem is that she wants

30
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 2>to use our front walkway that's on the side of

31
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 2>our house to access her right side of her property,

32
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>the side that she didn't fence, so she fenced herself

33
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>out and has always just went on our property to

34
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 2>access her side. She's mad cause with our fence, she

35
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 2>can't just walk in and go to her side of

36
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>her house anymore. We told her we would give her

37
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 2>a key, and she said no. Since she accused us

38
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 2>of stealing her land, we didn't feel comfortable about allowing

39
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>her to come and go off our property any more,

40
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>but she didn't care. She called a handyman to install

41
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 2>a security camera and he worked on our side of

42
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>the property and she didn't ask. I ask the guide

43
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to please inform her for any future work she will

44
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>need to ask us for permission before she enters our property.

45
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 2>The security camera was to watch us because she was

46
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>so paranoid we would build a fence. This Saturday, we

47
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.599
<v Speaker 2>had the company begin work and she totally lost it.

48
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 2>She harassed the workers, telling them to stop work, and

49
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.599
<v Speaker 2>she was accusing us of stealing land. She threatened to

50
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 2>report them to the city and to call the inspector

51
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 2>on us. My husband had to stay outside with guys

52
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>as they worked, and when he went in, she would

53
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>come back out and harass them. Then she called the

54
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:41.759
<v Speaker 2>police for police cars came. I don't know what she

55
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 2>told them, but it was not the truth because the

56
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>cops sided with us and told her to stay inside

57
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 2>and not bother us. Then Sunday she paces looking at

58
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 2>our fence posts, staring. She looked at our fence posts

59
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>like ten times on Sunday, and then she was pacing

60
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>our back yard and we have her on camera just

61
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>staring and pacing and starting in so creepy. Then Monday,

62
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>she is walking and starting again, and she stops on

63
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 2>our neighbors and starts complaining to him about our fence

64
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>right in front of our house. She continues pacing and

65
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 2>staring through the day. Then later that Monday, a guy

66
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>comes and she walks him to our house and he

67
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 2>starts looking at our posts. My husband came out this

68
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>time and asked the guy who this was and why

69
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>he was interested in looking at our property. He told

70
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>us that he is a realtor and a good friend

71
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 2>of hers, and he came because she called him, telling

72
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 2>him that we stole her property from her and accused

73
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>us of putting posts on her property, which was all lies.

74
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 2>We immediately showed him our proof and he agreed with

75
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 2>us and tried to mediate with her, explaining that we

76
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 2>are legally able to build and that she can extend

77
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 2>her fence so she is not blocked out. She just

78
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 2>said no, no, and didn't want to do that, so

79
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 2>my husband just left. We made sure everything was recorded.

80
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Then to day she came outside and stared at our

81
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 2>property again, just pacing. She did the same in the

82
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 2>back yard, Then she went to the front and started

83
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 2>flagging down neighbors who she never talks to, and starts

84
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 2>to complain about our fence, calling us bad people and

85
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.719
<v Speaker 2>that we are stealing her land. She is acting so malicious,

86
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>What do I do? It's crazy? Edit so I called

87
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the police to see what she accused us of. On Saturday,

88
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>they said that she alleged we were encroaching on her

89
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 2>property and blocking her egress. The claim was noted as

90
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>false by the police. Update March twentieth, twenty twenty five.

91
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 2>It snowed and the neighbor came out with her hair

92
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 2>curlers and her hair and her pajamas and slippers, no jacket.

93
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>So she was in some hurry and went to the

94
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 2>front of our house to stare while she was on

95
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 2>the phone. Not sure what information she needed from staring

96
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>at our posts. Maybe she needed our address. Looks like

97
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>she's trying to call someone else on us. She is

98
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.279
<v Speaker 2>straight losing it as she knows. The fence will be

99
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 2>completed as soon as weather is better. Additional info Boop

100
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 2>clarifies the drawing of the fence. Boop, Sorry, yes, the

101
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.079
<v Speaker 2>drawing isn't the greatest, but to help explain, she has

102
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>a six feet iron fence in the front of her property.

103
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 2>It goes all the way down the left side of

104
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 2>her house, but on the right side. She stopped the

105
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.480
<v Speaker 2>fence at the beginning of her house and curved it

106
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 2>in so it leaves the right side of her house

107
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 2>not fenced all the way until the end of her house.

108
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 2>She then continues the fence and curves it in when

109
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>her garage begins. She is upset because with our front

110
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 2>fence she can't go on our property to get to

111
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>her side. Every day she is out staring and calling

112
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>people to her house to look at it and complain.

113
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Update one April tenth, twenty twenty five. Our fence has

114
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 2>been up for a week and a half. The neighbor

115
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 2>surprisingly did not bother the workers when they put the

116
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 2>panels up. I was so surprised, So that's why I

117
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't really do an update, because I was like, Okay,

118
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 2>this is over. Finally she must have come to her senses. Yeah,

119
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.439
<v Speaker 2>I was wrong. On Tuesday, I was coming home from

120
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>picking up my child from school and some man ran

121
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 2>out his car and shouted if I was the owner

122
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>of the home. I asked who he was, and he

123
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 2>stated he was from the city building in code enforcement,

124
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Speaker 2>while also briefly flashing his ID at me. I then

125
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>proceeded to tell him that I am the owner and

126
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>why was he here. He stated that he received a

127
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>complaint about a building violation and that our fence is

128
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 2>too tall and we must cut it down from six

129
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 2>feet to five feet. Keep in mind my neighbor's fence

130
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>is taller than ours.

131
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>B t W.

132
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I told the inspector that three licensed contractors that we

133
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 2>contacted all informed us we didn't need a permit, but

134
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.199
<v Speaker 2>that if they were wrong, we would gladly comply, of course,

135
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 2>and or apply for the needed permit. He stated that

136
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 2>there is no possible way the city would approve it,

137
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 2>and I told him we will work with the city

138
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 2>and find a solution. We don't want to cut corners

139
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>and want to do it right. My husband then comes

140
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>out and gets informed on what's going on, and then

141
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 2>my husband asks the inspector for his email or business

142
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 2>card so we can follow up and work together to

143
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>fix it. The guy refused to give us any card

144
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.600
<v Speaker 2>or e mail to follow up with him. He told

145
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 2>my husband all the information is on the city website.

146
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>Why do you need my information for? He was very rude.

147
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I know how to talk with people, so I told him, look,

148
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:15.959
<v Speaker 2>I get you come across a lot of people who

149
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>argue back and give you a hard time, so you're

150
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 2>on guard. But I assure you we don't want to argue,

151
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.199
<v Speaker 2>and we want to fix this issue. He then calmed

152
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>down and told us he has kids too, and he

153
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 2>understand why we need a fence, et cetera. He then

154
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.240
<v Speaker 2>told us he would give us forty eight hours to

155
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 2>get a permit, and then he left. Once I got home,

156
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 2>I reviewed the camera footage, and the inspector entered our

157
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>property and did not ring the door bell to try

158
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.399
<v Speaker 2>and speak with us. He just trespassed and was walking

159
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 2>around looking at our property. He didn't measure anything, nothing,

160
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>So I began to get suspicious. I then remembered when

161
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.399
<v Speaker 2>my neighbor threatened us and the workers, saying she had

162
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>an inspector friend and she was going to report us.

163
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 2>On top of that, why didn't the inspector want to

164
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 2>give me any information to follow up? So weird? Then

165
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.959
<v Speaker 2>he tells me to get a permit in forty eight hours.

166
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.120
<v Speaker 2>He didn't even tell me which one. And if he

167
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 2>said the city would not approve it, why didn't he

168
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.519
<v Speaker 2>tell me to apply in forty eight hours? Things just

169
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.000
<v Speaker 2>seemed off I'd so then I went to do my research.

170
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I contacted my alderman's office and asked for assistance in

171
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 2>applying for a permit. I wanted to make sure we

172
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>did the right steps after we apply for our permit.

173
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I asked the representative if they could look up the

174
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:33.480
<v Speaker 2>complaint for me because the interaction with the inspector seemed suspicious.

175
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.879
<v Speaker 2>She agreed and looks up the report. There was a

176
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.159
<v Speaker 2>report made seventeen days ago by our neighbor before our

177
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.600
<v Speaker 2>fence panels were up, that our fence was not on

178
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 2>our property line. The report said nothing about fence height.

179
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 2>She also told me there was no inspector assigned to

180
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>the case and that it was still open pending investigation.

181
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's weird. I'd maybe he was legit and didn't

182
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.159
<v Speaker 2>update the case, but it's all not adding up. So

183
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 2>the alderman agrees this is weird and states that they

184
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 2>are going to get someone from downtown involved to speak

185
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.120
<v Speaker 2>with my neighbor because she is harassing us and it's

186
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 2>just too much. The report she made was false, Our

187
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 2>fence posts are on our property lines. We have our

188
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.559
<v Speaker 2>plat survey that proves all of this, in addition to

189
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>all the other things listed in my other Reddit posts

190
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.200
<v Speaker 2>that she has done. So today, I'm just minding my

191
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.320
<v Speaker 2>own business like I usually do, and I get a

192
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:29.200
<v Speaker 2>notification on my camera. I see someone sticking their hand

193
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 2>through my fence, pointing at my back, and moving down

194
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.759
<v Speaker 2>my fence repeatedly doing the same thing. So I go

195
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:37.080
<v Speaker 2>outside and calmly ask the women, do you have any

196
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.039
<v Speaker 2>questions about my fence that I can help you with.

197
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I see that you're sticking your hand through and pointing.

198
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 2>She tells me, I'm your neighbor down the block. I

199
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 2>was just speaking with your next door neighbor and she

200
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>has a problem with your fence. I let her know

201
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 2>that the neighbor's claims are bogus, and that we now

202
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 2>have a permit for the height of our fence, and

203
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.039
<v Speaker 2>I have a survey of our property proving we are

204
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>on our property line. I told her that the neighbor

205
00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>is crazy and if she has any concerns to please

206
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 2>speak with me. As I turn, I see my neighbor

207
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>in her bushes by her door. She was outside the

208
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.080
<v Speaker 2>whole time and stopped the neighbor as she was walking

209
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.559
<v Speaker 2>her dog to complain about our fence and spread false

210
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 2>claims again. Then the neighbor leaves and immediately stands and

211
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:16.960
<v Speaker 2>stares at our house, looking at the permit displayed on

212
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.200
<v Speaker 2>our front door. This is getting crazy and I really

213
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.279
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to do tit for tat, but I reported

214
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>her illegal basement apartment, which is not a false allegation

215
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 2>because her zoning does not allow for a basement apartment.

216
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.399
<v Speaker 2>She also does not have two entrances. I really didn't

217
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.159
<v Speaker 2>want to do it, but she is really pushing me

218
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.840
<v Speaker 2>to become a person I don't want to be. I

219
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 2>want this all to be over already praying she can

220
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:45.279
<v Speaker 2>finally understand reality soon. I will update if anything else happens.

221
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Additional information from O O P, who has received the

222
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.360
<v Speaker 2>translation of the audio file. Oh O P, I got

223
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>the translation here. It is if you're interested. Women is

224
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.240
<v Speaker 2>my crazy neighbor. Man is her realtor friend She called

225
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.320
<v Speaker 2>over to look at my house and complain. It looks

226
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.200
<v Speaker 2>like he was trying to actually help us, and she

227
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>was getting mad at him. He was mostly trying to

228
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:10.480
<v Speaker 2>mediate with her, allowing us to close the back fence

229
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 2>that has always been closed for over twenty years. But

230
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>now that she is mad, she is not allowing us

231
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:16.840
<v Speaker 2>to close it because she owns a couple inches of

232
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 2>property next to her garage that is unfenced and open

233
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:21.279
<v Speaker 2>to our property, So in order to close it off

234
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 2>from the alley, we need to close it on her

235
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>few inches of property, or else someone can slip through easily.

236
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.080
<v Speaker 2>She is just using that as leverage. Doesn't matter to us.

237
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.120
<v Speaker 2>We can just fence it straight down our property if

238
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:33.919
<v Speaker 2>we have to, and she will have awkward fenced in

239
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 2>boxes on the side of her house and she can't

240
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.039
<v Speaker 2>get in. Makes no sense. She is just using that

241
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 2>as leverage, cause it's all she has. That's the back

242
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 2>story on the back L O L and below in

243
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the transcript, Woman, it's mine. Man, Yeah, but you use

244
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:53.480
<v Speaker 2>this M. The rats were running in front of the garage. W.

245
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:58.399
<v Speaker 2>He should catch those rats. Em ok today W curses,

246
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry the rats were running. M. Does it bother

247
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:10.120
<v Speaker 2>you why? W? Yes, it bothers me. And he will

248
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>destroy it because he is so mean and it will M.

249
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:21.159
<v Speaker 2>But he asked you and you agreed. W. No, nobody

250
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.840
<v Speaker 2>talked to me about it. They just put up the

251
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 2>fence English part. W cries Jesus on no, no, M.

252
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 2>And now what's bothering you that it'll be open or

253
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 2>that it'll be closed? W? What that? M? So if

254
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 2>he closes it and puts something. It'll be safer for

255
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:47.159
<v Speaker 2>you and for M. W. But but it's mine. M.

256
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Why does that bother you? W It bothers me because

257
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll have the entrance there M where W from that side? M.

258
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:01.480
<v Speaker 2>But from that side you block the entrance yourself. W.

259
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:06.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm going home because it's too cold. Are we going? M?

260
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Wait a second, W No, No, I don't want to

261
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.000
<v Speaker 2>talk to him. I'll talk to some one else. I'm

262
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 2>going to go to the city hall. M. What do

263
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:21.039
<v Speaker 2>you want them to do? Two? Put here? W. I'll

264
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:24.919
<v Speaker 2>just sort this out. I'm not giving up. M. To

265
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.360
<v Speaker 2>be honest, I'll tell you I live in a building

266
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 2>far from the down town and I've done something to

267
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.840
<v Speaker 2>my neighbors too. They have something near their house. W.

268
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>But why are you talking to them? You came to

269
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 2>see me. M. You know what. I think you could

270
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.320
<v Speaker 2>stand your ground. But it doesn't make sense because he W. Yeah,

271
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll stand my ground and he will do the same.

272
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 2>You know what, Nobody asks me for my permission and

273
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.480
<v Speaker 2>do what they want. M. He said that he asked

274
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 2>for permission. W. You know what I'm saying, M. But

275
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:04.480
<v Speaker 2>why do you need the entrance to the garage from

276
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>this side. W. They did everything. Nobody asked me. It's

277
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.440
<v Speaker 2>mine M. But you should look and see what you

278
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.080
<v Speaker 2>did to the neighbors. Something with the entrance. W. This

279
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:21.639
<v Speaker 2>had been like this since the beginning, do you remember, M.

280
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:23.480
<v Speaker 2>But to day some one could come to you and

281
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:27.080
<v Speaker 2>tell you to take down something. W. Then I'll take

282
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 2>it down. M. That would satisfy you. W. You know what.

283
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm going home. M. If I were you, I would

284
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.159
<v Speaker 2>let him to do that thing. W. And I won't M.

285
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.519
<v Speaker 2>But it'll be safer, and he will put a fence

286
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:45.039
<v Speaker 2>here W and know M, so you will have W.

287
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.600
<v Speaker 2>No nobody asked me, and I won't allow it. So

288
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm going home. I'm cold. M. I'll go with you soon. W.

289
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.360
<v Speaker 2>You shouldn't be the one sorting this out. English Part

290
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:02.399
<v Speaker 2>update two, April twenty nine, ninth twenty twenty five. I

291
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 2>know it's been a few weeks since my last update.

292
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>A few of my neighbors actually found my post. So

293
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.120
<v Speaker 2>to protect the privacy and security of myself and my neighbor,

294
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I removed my old posts because there was pictures and

295
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.799
<v Speaker 2>videos that I didn't want getting shared to neighborhood platforms.

296
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.679
<v Speaker 2>I mainly made my post to vent and get feedback

297
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.919
<v Speaker 2>and didn't intend on it getting so popular. It made

298
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.080
<v Speaker 2>it around the world and back to my block. Lol,

299
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.799
<v Speaker 2>But I do appreciate the support and advice from everyone

00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:29.840
<v Speaker 2>on to the update. So a lot has happened in

301
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.240
<v Speaker 2>the past two weeks. To start, the workers came back

302
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 2>to paint our fence and weld some mesh on the fence.

303
00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Our neighbor freaked out and thought the workers welded our

304
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 2>fence to her post. She called our mediator representative from

305
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 2>the Alderman's office. She came out to check and immediately

306
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:50.240
<v Speaker 2>saw that we did not connect her fence post to ours.

307
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Then our neighbor got mad and started demanding for us

308
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>to personally show her our fence plans and permits. We

309
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.120
<v Speaker 2>had our permit on our door. She got more mad

310
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.600
<v Speaker 2>and used a racial slur towards me and my family.

311
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:03.879
<v Speaker 2>And keep in mind she said the racial slur about

312
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>us to the representative of the Alderman's office. So it

313
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.159
<v Speaker 2>has been documented. That same day an officer from the

314
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.840
<v Speaker 2>city department from Building and Code Enforcement showed up to

315
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:16.000
<v Speaker 2>our house. Again. It was a different guy this time.

316
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.279
<v Speaker 2>He told us that there was a report made alleging

317
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.639
<v Speaker 2>we were building a whole new garage without a permit.

318
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:23.879
<v Speaker 2>We haven't changed our garage at all. It's the same

319
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:25.720
<v Speaker 2>as when we bought our home, and it's clear to

320
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.679
<v Speaker 2>anyone it was not just built. The building inspector immediately

321
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 2>closed the case. At this point, our neighbor is being

322
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.960
<v Speaker 2>malicious and is making false reports to harass us. What

323
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:38.919
<v Speaker 2>really worries me is that if we ever want to

324
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.240
<v Speaker 2>sell our home, these reports stay on record, even though

325
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 2>they are false and dismissed. After this, we did a

326
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.919
<v Speaker 2>FOYA Freedom of Information Act for any three hundred eleven

327
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.559
<v Speaker 2>reports for our address. She made three reports to the

328
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.879
<v Speaker 2>City do B Department of Buildings, all made in March

329
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 2>and all made before our fence panels were even put up.

330
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.080
<v Speaker 2>She alleged we built a new garage, that our fence

331
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.519
<v Speaker 2>posts was not on our property line, and that we

332
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:08.319
<v Speaker 2>had installed a side fence without building permit, all false allegations.

333
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Keep in mind we adjust the posts up March eighteenth,

334
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.240
<v Speaker 2>and our panels didn't get put until April fifth. We

335
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:19.519
<v Speaker 2>also didn't build the side fence she is talking about yet,

336
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:22.400
<v Speaker 2>so she did a complaint in advance. Assuming we have

337
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 2>no permit. Can't even make this stuff up. It's insane.

338
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Then she made a false allegation to a police officer

339
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.799
<v Speaker 2>and told them my husband was yelling and screaming at

340
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.039
<v Speaker 2>her and throwing his hands up, intimidating her during a

341
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.160
<v Speaker 2>time she was talking to her neighbors. Then the said

342
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.400
<v Speaker 2>neighbor walks to her car at the same moment her

343
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:41.640
<v Speaker 2>and the cop are talking in. My neighbor points telling

344
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.720
<v Speaker 2>the cop to go ask the women our neighbor from

345
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.240
<v Speaker 2>across the street. The cop goes over and talks to her,

346
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and the woman tells the cop my husband didn't do

347
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.720
<v Speaker 2>what was alleged. Then the cop goes back over and

348
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.319
<v Speaker 2>tells my neighbor that the witness to the alleged incident

349
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.720
<v Speaker 2>says nothing like that happened. I also had the video

350
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 2>and audio recording of that conversation. My husband went outside

351
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.839
<v Speaker 2>because she involved three neighbors at this point, calling them

352
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 2>over talking about our fence and us. He went outside

353
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.279
<v Speaker 2>to talk to the other people and not her. Even

354
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:13.680
<v Speaker 2>his body language in the video was not aggressive and

355
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:16.839
<v Speaker 2>he was not talking to her directly at all. After

356
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:19.440
<v Speaker 2>he told the neighbors what is happening our side, he

357
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.839
<v Speaker 2>left and let them continue talking. Yet she wants to

358
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 2>actually lie and try and put him in jail. So

359
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.240
<v Speaker 2>glad I have every interaction recorded. Same day, she gets

360
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.799
<v Speaker 2>very erratic and upset that things didn't go her way.

361
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:35.880
<v Speaker 2>That she comes outside while I'm outside and starts singing

362
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.839
<v Speaker 2>humming like an opera singer. She has never did this before,

363
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.799
<v Speaker 2>and it was just weird. I ignore her as I

364
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:46.119
<v Speaker 2>always do and just let her be. Then she decides

365
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.240
<v Speaker 2>to go inside and get her purse to pretend like

366
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 2>she is going somewhere, and goes across the street, intentionally

367
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:53.000
<v Speaker 2>avoiding crossing in front of the neighbor who told the

368
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.599
<v Speaker 2>truth to the copse. They were outside on their porch.

369
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I assume she is now upset with them because they

370
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.240
<v Speaker 2>told the truth. When she goes and talks to their

371
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.640
<v Speaker 2>next door neighbor, who was just watering her grass, she

372
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.519
<v Speaker 2>proceeds to talk about our fence and us to them.

373
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.680
<v Speaker 2>I saw it all plain as day because I was outside.

374
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I let it go because I want to avoid her

375
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.599
<v Speaker 2>as I always do, but it was so annoying. Then

376
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:19.400
<v Speaker 2>she leaves and literally five minutes later she comes back

377
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:22.359
<v Speaker 2>in her house. She just went around the block and

378
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Speaker 2>pretended to leave to just talk to another neighbor about

379
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.319
<v Speaker 2>us and just slander us and paint us as bad people.

380
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I honestly cannot understand this behavior. Then same day she

381
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:34.640
<v Speaker 2>calls some one over to come look at our back yard.

382
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 2>I literally can't catch a break with her. We aren't

383
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.559
<v Speaker 2>doing anything wrong. Our fence is permitted by the city.

384
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:45.720
<v Speaker 2>She is just mad that she can't walk down our

385
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:47.960
<v Speaker 2>property as she did for twenty eight years to reach

386
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.240
<v Speaker 2>the side of her house that she fenced herself out from,

387
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.079
<v Speaker 2>and she can fix, but she refuses and instead blames us.

388
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.640
<v Speaker 1>That's the end of the first story. Let's begin the

389
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:01.680
<v Speaker 1>second one. I hope you enjoy this story. My privileged

390
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 1>parent insisted that I transfer ownership of my residence to

391
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 1>her because my younger sibling is expecting a baby and

392
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>supposedly requires it more than I do. I, a thirty

393
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:13.640
<v Speaker 1>one year old man, have a twenty eight year old

394
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.039
<v Speaker 1>sister who has honestly been the golden child to my

395
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>mother but not my father, for as long as I

396
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:21.799
<v Speaker 1>can remember. My parents divorced when I was a teenager

397
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:24.319
<v Speaker 1>because my mother cheated with an old high school ex

398
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:30.119
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend and has always been controlling, manipulative, and narcissistic, and sadly,

399
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.680
<v Speaker 1>my sister was like her little minnie me. Our mother

400
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.440
<v Speaker 1>also seemed to believe she had total authority over me.

401
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Any time she so much as snapped her fingers, she'd

402
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.680
<v Speaker 1>snap them and order me around like a dog. It

403
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:46.440
<v Speaker 1>was demeaning, and my sister always backed her up too,

404
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 1>so no surprise, I went to live with my dad

405
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 1>full time after our parents split, while my sister stayed

406
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:54.960
<v Speaker 1>with Mom. The two of them were very alike and

407
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.680
<v Speaker 1>both pretty much stopped speaking with my father unless it

408
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:01.119
<v Speaker 1>was about money. Though I'm more like my dad. My

409
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:04.200
<v Speaker 1>father was very business oriented and started teaching me how

410
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:05.839
<v Speaker 1>to do his line of work as soon as I

411
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:10.079
<v Speaker 1>was sixteen. I got pretty good at it, and after

412
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.400
<v Speaker 1>twelve years of working for my father, I was made

413
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:15.880
<v Speaker 1>a partner in his company. Things were great, but then,

414
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:19.920
<v Speaker 1>about eight months ago, tragedy struck. My father had become

415
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.839
<v Speaker 1>somewhat immuno compromised due to being a heavy smoker for

416
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>much of his life, and died at only sixty years old.

417
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:29.119
<v Speaker 1>After he caught seat. Nineteen, I met my mother and

418
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.359
<v Speaker 1>sister for the first time in years. After we had

419
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:34.359
<v Speaker 1>a socially distanced funeral for my father over video call.

420
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.200
<v Speaker 1>My father was cremated by his own request and buried

421
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:41.359
<v Speaker 1>in a local cemetery, so there was no body or casket.

422
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.240
<v Speaker 1>My sister seemed to grieve, but my mother looked indifferent

423
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.319
<v Speaker 1>the entire time, though I honestly was not surprised. The

424
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:51.920
<v Speaker 1>last time she saw my father, she screamed at him

425
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:54.279
<v Speaker 1>that he owed her more money, and then threatened to

426
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>sue him, to which she just laughed at her. He'd

427
00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:59.440
<v Speaker 1>paid alimony and child support as long as he was

428
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:02.640
<v Speaker 1>legally mandated two and no more than that, and he

429
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.720
<v Speaker 1>even put thirty K toward my sister's college fund. But

430
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.440
<v Speaker 1>ten years after the divorce, he was no longer legally

431
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:10.799
<v Speaker 1>required to send MO money any more because of the

432
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.880
<v Speaker 1>judge's ruling, and she's by no means broke. She works

433
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.599
<v Speaker 1>the same job she has had for nearly three decades,

434
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:20.319
<v Speaker 1>fully owns the old family home we used to share,

435
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:22.480
<v Speaker 1>and even rents out two of the rooms in it

436
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.680
<v Speaker 1>to Airbnb regularly. She's by no means hurting for money.

437
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Some time after the funeral, my dad's will was read.

438
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Apparently he'd figured that if his heavy smoking didn't eventually

439
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:37.160
<v Speaker 1>do him in something else would, and even joked about

440
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.319
<v Speaker 1>it in a pre recorded video. I was pretty much

441
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:42.640
<v Speaker 1>willed nearly all of his assets, from most of his

442
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:46.079
<v Speaker 1>money to his business and home. He left my sister

443
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.799
<v Speaker 1>a car two thousand fifteen Nissan Ultima and about ten

444
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:53.559
<v Speaker 1>k in cash. My mother only got one grand and

445
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a few other items that she'd been claiming were rightfully

446
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:58.960
<v Speaker 1>hers since the divorce. Beyond that, I got the rest,

447
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:01.279
<v Speaker 1>and my girlfriend now lives with me in the house

448
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:04.799
<v Speaker 1>my father passed down to me. My sister pretty much

449
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:07.599
<v Speaker 1>went from finishing two years of community college to living

450
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.279
<v Speaker 1>off her boyfriend and only working part time online for

451
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>several years, and during that time she got pregnant but

452
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:18.079
<v Speaker 1>suffered a traumatic miscarriage. I wasn't aware till after the

453
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.079
<v Speaker 1>funeral because we were practically no contact and no one

454
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.119
<v Speaker 1>else told me when lockdown hit. Her boyfriend's job started

455
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:28.000
<v Speaker 1>downsizing little by little, and eventually he was only able

456
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to stay on part time, which hampered hers and his

457
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>finances to the point he was finally telling her she

458
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:35.279
<v Speaker 1>needed to look for better employment as well, since he

459
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>was trying to find a second job. And then she

460
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:42.160
<v Speaker 1>got pregnant. She claims her and her BF were careful

461
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:45.759
<v Speaker 1>but calls at her miracle baby. One evening, I got

462
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.559
<v Speaker 1>an unexpected knock at my door, and when I answered,

463
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.279
<v Speaker 1>I was unpleasantly greeted by both my mother and sister.

464
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:54.160
<v Speaker 1>They both walked right in without even asking, and made

465
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>themselves comfortable in my living room. My girlfriend and I

466
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.480
<v Speaker 1>shared a look of confusion, and I asked why they'd

467
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>come by. My sister was giggling and looking all over,

468
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:07.400
<v Speaker 1>opening doors and seemingly giving herself a tour of my home.

469
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:10.960
<v Speaker 1>My mother had just plopped herself down on my sofa

470
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:13.880
<v Speaker 1>and snapped her fingers while demanding a cold bottled water.

471
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:16.960
<v Speaker 1>My g F got the water for her, and I

472
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:20.519
<v Speaker 1>asked what they were here for. My sister seemed all

473
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:23.599
<v Speaker 1>giddy and just ignored me to continue snooping around my home,

474
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 1>and before long I heard her yell from down the hall, Mammy,

475
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:33.400
<v Speaker 1>it's perfect. Yes, she still calls her mommy. My mother

476
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:36.119
<v Speaker 1>finally spoke up and said, well, I think it's time

477
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.279
<v Speaker 1>to did your brotherly duty, to which I was like what.

478
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.799
<v Speaker 1>My mother then proceeded to say, now that your father

479
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 1>has passed, this house should have gone to me since

480
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 1>I was his only spouse. But you can still fix this.

481
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.279
<v Speaker 1>You make plenty of money and could just buy a

482
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:54.279
<v Speaker 1>new house. Your sister needs this one so much more

483
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:56.279
<v Speaker 1>since she's the one with a baby on the way.

484
00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.079
<v Speaker 1>But if you're so determined on staying, you could just

485
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:01.319
<v Speaker 1>keep to one room and cover all of the bills

486
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:04.759
<v Speaker 1>until you decide to move out. My GF and I

487
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.200
<v Speaker 1>read enough Reddit to know exactly where this is going

488
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and how it had play out if I let it

489
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:11.599
<v Speaker 1>go on, So I guess you could say we were

490
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 1>mentally prepared. I took a deep breath and stated aloud,

491
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:19.759
<v Speaker 1>that's not fucking happening. You don't order me around, especially

492
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:23.559
<v Speaker 1>not in my own goddamn home. Yes, I make plenty

493
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.960
<v Speaker 1>of money, but like dad, I'm gonna save it for

494
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>when I really need it, not that you care. My

495
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.799
<v Speaker 1>mother started snapping her fingers at me like she used to.

496
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:38.279
<v Speaker 1>In loudly stated stop. I am your mother, and you

497
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:40.480
<v Speaker 1>will do as I say because I brought you into

498
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:43.720
<v Speaker 1>this world and I'm the one in charge here and

499
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>as far as you're concerned, I am God. That means

500
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.799
<v Speaker 1>when I say jump, you say how high this house is? Rightfully,

501
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:56.400
<v Speaker 1>mine and your sister will live here. Consider this your

502
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:59.519
<v Speaker 1>formal eviction. But since I'm gracious, I'll give you two

503
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.039
<v Speaker 1>weeks to pack your bags and transfer the deed to me.

504
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:05.200
<v Speaker 1>In the back of my mind, I'm thinking this can't

505
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:08.880
<v Speaker 1>be real. But then I just grabbed my cell phone

506
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.799
<v Speaker 1>and started dialing. My mother quickly stood up and yelled

507
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:14.720
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? And I retorted, I'm doing what

508
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:16.839
<v Speaker 1>I should have done as soon as this shit started.

509
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:19.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm calling the cops to get you out of my

510
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.359
<v Speaker 1>fucking house. She started swiping at me and managed to

511
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:26.119
<v Speaker 1>knock my phone out of my hands. Then she proceeded

512
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.160
<v Speaker 1>to try and stomp on it, but I was quick

513
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:31.079
<v Speaker 1>enough to snatch it up before she could. That's fucking it.

514
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.240
<v Speaker 1>If you don't leave, I will force you out myself.

515
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 1>My mother proceeded to slap me across the face, and

516
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.759
<v Speaker 1>I returned the favor twice as hard back handed, so

517
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:43.160
<v Speaker 1>much so I ended up knocking her back down onto

518
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the couch. She held her hand over her reddening and

519
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.519
<v Speaker 1>smeared make up face in total shock, and then yelled,

520
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 1>how dare you. I went back to dialing on my

521
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:54.880
<v Speaker 1>phone and said that if she didn't leave, I would

522
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:58.400
<v Speaker 1>have police come and remove her by force. My sister

523
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:00.799
<v Speaker 1>came barreling in between us, holding her arms out and

524
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:02.680
<v Speaker 1>saying that I should just do the right thing for

525
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.640
<v Speaker 1>once in my life and be a good big brother.

526
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I snapped and said, oh, really, I'm the bad sibling.

527
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 1>Last I checked, I was the one who's had to

528
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.400
<v Speaker 1>work for a living since I was a teenager. I

529
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:16.319
<v Speaker 1>had to do all the chores in the house while

530
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:18.559
<v Speaker 1>you just sat on your ass playing video games or

531
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.720
<v Speaker 1>talking with your friends all day. And you used to

532
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:24.240
<v Speaker 1>steal my heart earn money just to go out shopping

533
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:27.799
<v Speaker 1>after you spent all of your allowance. You're a complete

534
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:32.119
<v Speaker 1>mooch and thief. So I don't ow you shit. Now,

535
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.319
<v Speaker 1>both of you get out before I decide to dial

536
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:38.039
<v Speaker 1>this last number. My sister started to tear up, crying

537
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:40.559
<v Speaker 1>like a baby and said, Mommy, make him stop. My

538
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:43.359
<v Speaker 1>mother began hugging her and kissing her cheeks while giving

539
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:45.680
<v Speaker 1>me a death glare. Then she seemed to think she'd

540
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.039
<v Speaker 1>gotten smart and said, you know, if you do call

541
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the police, I can just tell them that you hit me,

542
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:52.599
<v Speaker 1>and who knows, I could maybe say to every one

543
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:54.440
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to do a lot worse to a poor

544
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:56.839
<v Speaker 1>pregnant girl in need. I don't think that it'd be

545
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.799
<v Speaker 1>very good thing for you. I cut her off with

546
00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:03.599
<v Speaker 1>a raised hand and said, just stop. If you haven't noticed,

547
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:05.920
<v Speaker 1>my girlfriend over there has had her phone out recording

548
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>almost this whole time, and that means we have recorded

549
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:12.359
<v Speaker 1>evidence of you assaulting me first and openly stating you'd

550
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 1>lie to police. I don't think that it'd be so

551
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.880
<v Speaker 1>good for your reputation at your job or your little airbnb.

552
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:21.839
<v Speaker 1>If looks could kill, my mother would have blew me

553
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 1>up like a tactical nuke. But she quickly deflated and

554
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:29.240
<v Speaker 1>started dragging my crying sister out by the arm. My

555
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:32.359
<v Speaker 1>sister was somehow acting like a complete toddler and broke

556
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:34.400
<v Speaker 1>loose of our mother's grip to sit down on my

557
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.720
<v Speaker 1>porch step and have a tantrum. I just gave my

558
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 1>mother a look and said, do you see now, this

559
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>is the result of the spoiled way you raised her.

560
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:46.119
<v Speaker 1>She glared at me again, and then I was treated

561
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:48.079
<v Speaker 1>to a show of my mother trying to drag my

562
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:51.759
<v Speaker 1>sister off of my porch steps, but she latched onto

563
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:55.559
<v Speaker 1>the porch handrails and kept saying you promised me over

564
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:58.839
<v Speaker 1>and over again. I let out a cackle and told

565
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.880
<v Speaker 1>them both from the door to never come back. My

566
00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:04.039
<v Speaker 1>mother flipped me the bird and then went back to

567
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:07.400
<v Speaker 1>trying to drag my sister off the porch. It took

568
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a few minutes, but she finally got my sister to

569
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:11.759
<v Speaker 1>get up and leave with her by saying I am

570
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:14.200
<v Speaker 1>a cruel, heartless bastard who will go to hell for this.

571
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I laughed some more and said that there's also a

572
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:20.359
<v Speaker 1>special place in hell for liars and narcissists who try

573
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to manipulate others to get their way. My mother clenched

574
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:25.960
<v Speaker 1>her fists and was about to say more when I

575
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:28.680
<v Speaker 1>just held up my smartphone again with it recording, and said,

576
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:32.279
<v Speaker 1>the clock is ticking, Mom, get off my property. My

577
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:34.920
<v Speaker 1>mother then walked my sister to the car, gave me

578
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:38.359
<v Speaker 1>one last snooty look, and drove off. I thought that

579
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:41.279
<v Speaker 1>was the end of it, but letting things go was

580
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:44.799
<v Speaker 1>never something my mother would do. After a few days,

581
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I started getting messages from people I know and some

582
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:50.920
<v Speaker 1>relatives online. A lot of them were furious with me,

583
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.720
<v Speaker 1>but others just had questions about what was going on.

584
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:57.359
<v Speaker 1>I tried to check my f B but couldn't see

585
00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>anything they were saying because my sister and mother both

586
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.519
<v Speaker 1>locked me on their social media, but my girlfriend could

587
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:06.640
<v Speaker 1>still see everything because they kept their profiles set to open.

588
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.480
<v Speaker 1>We screenshoted everything and then printed some of it out.

589
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.279
<v Speaker 1>Both of their profiles had posts that called me a greedy,

590
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:16.680
<v Speaker 1>heartless bastard who stole the house that was meant to

591
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:19.240
<v Speaker 1>be my sister's inheritance, ride out from under her by

592
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:21.799
<v Speaker 1>paying off the lawyer who handled Dad's will, which is

593
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:24.079
<v Speaker 1>a complete and utter lie and they both know it.

594
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.799
<v Speaker 1>I called my lawyer, who was also my father's lawyer

595
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and a trusted family friend, and gave him copies of

596
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:32.920
<v Speaker 1>all the screenshots from f B and the video my

597
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.759
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend had recorded the day my mother demanded my house.

598
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:38.839
<v Speaker 1>He wanted to just write a formal C and D,

599
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:41.960
<v Speaker 1>but I wanted to take it further than that, and

600
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:43.920
<v Speaker 1>he sent them a letter I told him to write

601
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:47.359
<v Speaker 1>via express mail that had to be signed for so

602
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I know they got it. My mother called me in

603
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:53.279
<v Speaker 1>an absolute fury the same day the letter was delivered.

604
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:56.319
<v Speaker 1>I told her that if she and my sister didn't

605
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:59.160
<v Speaker 1>redact all of the untrue social media posts they made

606
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:01.720
<v Speaker 1>about me and tell them the absolute truth. I'd send

607
00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:03.920
<v Speaker 1>all of the information I have to the whole family,

608
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.480
<v Speaker 1>her boss, and upload the videos we recorded of her online,

609
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:11.160
<v Speaker 1>and then I'd sue her on top of it. She

610
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:13.839
<v Speaker 1>called me unreasonable and that she just did what she

611
00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:17.079
<v Speaker 1>did for my sister's sake, and then went into a

612
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:20.119
<v Speaker 1>full blown lecture reiterating her belief that my sister still

613
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:23.519
<v Speaker 1>needs my house more than me. I bluntly stated I

614
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:26.079
<v Speaker 1>didn't care what she thought, and if she didn't redact

615
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:28.640
<v Speaker 1>everything and tell the truth, I'd make sure her career

616
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>would be over. She begrudgingly said, fine, you win, have

617
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.119
<v Speaker 1>it your way, and keep the fucking house, before hanging

618
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.400
<v Speaker 1>up the phone. That very evening, all of the lying

619
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:45.200
<v Speaker 1>posts disappeared from both their profiles. I was unblocked, and

620
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.400
<v Speaker 1>my mother gave me in everyone else, a half asked apology,

621
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:51.000
<v Speaker 1>claiming she jumped the gun with everything she said because

622
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.160
<v Speaker 1>she thought my sister needed my house more than me

623
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:56.440
<v Speaker 1>because she's broken pregnant. But the house was rightfully mine

624
00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.119
<v Speaker 1>according to my father's will, and she knew that even

625
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.720
<v Speaker 1>before my father passed away, so she had no right

626
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker 1>to try and claim it. As for my sister, she

627
00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:09.559
<v Speaker 1>also apologized, but more or less just parroted everything our

628
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:12.839
<v Speaker 1>mother said while claiming she just went along with her ideas,

629
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:15.519
<v Speaker 1>and then she blamed what she did all on our

630
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.440
<v Speaker 1>mother and her pregnancy hormones. The replies poured in for

631
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.720
<v Speaker 1>some time on both my mother and sister's profiles, many

632
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:26.039
<v Speaker 1>furious with them for trying to take my house. I

633
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:28.519
<v Speaker 1>got a lot messages of Soris and my bads from

634
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.519
<v Speaker 1>those who previously believed her, But all it really did

635
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:33.400
<v Speaker 1>was show me who was more on her side to

636
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>begin with, since they were all believing her nonsense so quickly.

637
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:40.160
<v Speaker 1>They were mostly people from her side of the family anyway.

638
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:43.480
<v Speaker 1>No one on my father's side believed her at all

639
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and openly said so. My sister and her boyfriend ended

640
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:49.759
<v Speaker 1>up moving in with our mother to save money, but

641
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.480
<v Speaker 1>she put them in the basement to keep her airbnb running,

642
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and my sister started crying on social media that she

643
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:59.599
<v Speaker 1>can't live upstairs. And I'm pretty sure the two of

644
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:01.960
<v Speaker 1>them were fighting with each other because all my sister

645
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:05.039
<v Speaker 1>did after that his complain online, and my mother barely

646
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:07.960
<v Speaker 1>posted anything on her sm anymore because of the previous

647
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:08.759
<v Speaker 1>stunt she tried
