WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.439 Episode with two stories. First part, I hope you enjoy 2 00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:08.720 this story. The resident became extremely upset after we constructed 3 00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:10.919 a barrier on our land because she can no longer 4 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:15.439 intrude through our garden. She has contacted law enforcement, submitted 5 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:20.559 inaccurate claims, and is bothering us us. We used to 6 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.120 get along great with our next door neighbor. For context, 7 00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.519 she is an older Polish woman who lives alone and 8 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.199 is very ocd about her grass. She will pick up 9 00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:32.320 leaves as they fall down from the tree and pick 10 00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.719 up leaves off her grass even if it rained anyway. 11 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.880 She has a front fence that she didn't run all 12 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.079 down her property line. She stopped it at the front 13 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.399 so her whole right side of her home is exposed. 14 00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.679 Next two hours, then picked up the fence when her 15 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.079 back yard begins. We had more than a few times 16 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.280 where strangers would enter the side of our house and 17 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:56.119 actually try and enter our home, so my husband decided 18 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.880 to put up a front fence. At the time, my 19 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.560 neighbor was redoing her backyard fence and she knew my 20 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.159 husband also wanted to do his backyard fence, so she 21 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.319 recommend her guy. As she followed up to see if 22 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.079 my husband called the guy to get the work. My 23 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.120 husband told her that he did, and that he also 24 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.239 asked the guy for a quote for the front as well. 25 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.920 She immediately lost it. Since then, she has been acting 26 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.599 so crazy. It started with her calling the alderman and 27 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.400 she wrongfully accused us of taking her land. The alderman 28 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.519 came and spoke with us and sided with me and 29 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.719 my husband. The problem is that she wants to use 30 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.719 our front walkway that's on the side of our house 31 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.000 to access her right side of her property, the side 32 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.519 that she didn't fence, so she fenced herself out and 33 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.359 has always just went on our property to access her side. 34 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.560 She's mad cause with our fence, she can't just walk 35 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.439 in and go to her side of her house anymore. 36 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.159 We told her we would give her a key, and 37 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.840 she said no. Since she accused us of stealing her land, 38 00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.120 we didn't feel comfortable about allowing her to come and 39 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.439 go off our property any more, but she didn't care. 40 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.480 She called a handyman to install a security camera and 41 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.239 he worked on our side of the property and she 42 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.719 didn't ask. I ask the guide to please inform her 43 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.760 for any future work she will need to ask us 44 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.599 for permission before she enters our property. The security camera 45 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:13.840 was to watch us because she was so paranoid we 46 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.360 would build a fence. This Saturday, we had the company 47 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.360 begin work and she totally lost it. She harassed the workers, 48 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.599 telling them to stop work, and she was accusing us 49 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.919 of stealing land. She threatened to report them to the 50 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.520 city and to call the inspector on us. My husband 51 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.800 had to stay outside with guys as they worked, and 52 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:34.439 when he went in, she would come back out and 53 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:39.639 harass them. Then she called the police for police cars came. 54 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.240 I don't know what she told them, but it was 55 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.599 not the truth because the cops sided with us and 56 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.039 told her to stay inside and not bother us. Then 57 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.960 Sunday she paces looking at our fence posts, staring. She 58 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.639 looked at our fence posts like ten times on Sunday, 59 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:56.599 and then she was pacing our back yard and we 60 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.039 have her on camera just staring and pacing and starting 61 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:03.800 in so creepy. Then Monday, she is walking and starting 62 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.599 again and she stops on our neighbors and starts complaining 63 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.599 to him about our fence right in front of our house. 64 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:13.520 She continues pacing and staring through the day. Then later 65 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.599 that Monday, a guy comes and she walks him to 66 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.879 our house and he starts looking at our posts. My 67 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.280 husband came out this time and asked the guy who 68 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.319 this was and why he was interested in looking at 69 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.360 our property. He told us that he is a realtor 70 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.360 and a good friend of hers, and he came because 71 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.400 she called him, telling him that we stole her property 72 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.800 from her and accused us of putting posts on her property, 73 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.319 which was all lies. We immediately showed him our proof 74 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.439 and he agreed with us and tried to mediate with her, 75 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.599 explaining that we are legally able to build and that 76 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.000 she can extend her fence so she is not blocked out. 77 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:48.360 She just said no, no, and didn't want to do that, 78 00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.759 so my husband just left. We made sure everything was recorded. 79 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.039 Then to day she came outside and stared at our 80 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.439 property again, just pacing. She did the same in the 81 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.479 back yard, Then she went to the front and started 82 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.080 flagging down neighbors who she never talks to, and starts 83 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.479 to complain about our fence, calling us bad people and 84 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.319 that we are stealing her land. She is acting so malicious. 85 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:17.600 What do I do? It's crazy? Edit, So I called 86 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.120 the police to see what she accused us of. On Saturday. 87 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.240 They said that she alleged we were encroaching on her 88 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:27.040 property and blocking her egress. The claim was noted as 89 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:31.639 false by the police. Update March twentieth, twenty twenty five. 90 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:34.680 It snowed and the neighbor came out with her hair 91 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.680 curlers and her hair and her pajamas and slippers, no jacket, 92 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.360 So she was in some hurry and went to the 93 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.160 front of our house to stare while she was on 94 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.800 the phone. Not sure what information she needed from staring 95 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.600 at our posts. Maybe she needed our address. Looks like 96 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.560 she's trying to call some one else on us. She 97 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.759 is straight loosing it as she knows. The fence will 98 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.399 be completed as soon as weather is better. Additional info 99 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:02.000 Boop clarifies the drawing of the fences. Boop, Sorry, yes, 100 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.439 the drawing isn't the greatest, but to help explain, she 101 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.560 has a six feet iron fence in the front of 102 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.560 her property. It goes all the way down the left 103 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.560 side of her house, but on the right side. She 104 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.560 stopped the fence at the beginning of her house and 105 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.560 curved it in so it leaves the right side of 106 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.800 her house not fenced all the way until the end 107 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.480 of her house. She then continues the fence and curves 108 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.199 it in when her garage begins. She is upset because 109 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.279 with our front fence she can't go on our property 110 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.279 to get to her side. Every day she is out 111 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.480 staring and calling people to her house to look at 112 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.800 it and complain. Update one April tenth, twenty twenty five. 113 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.879 Our fence has been up for a week and a half. 114 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.439 The neighbor surprisingly did not bother the workers when they 115 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.720 put the panels up. I was so surprised, So that's 116 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.240 why I didn't really do an update, because I was like, Okay, 117 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.639 this is over. Finally she must have come to her senses. Yeah, 118 00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:00.000 I was wrong. On Tuesday, I was coming home from 119 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.399 picking up my child from school and some man ran 120 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.399 out his car and shouted if I was the owner 121 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.120 of the home. I asked who he was, and he 122 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.639 stated he was from the city building in code enforcement, 123 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.199 while also briefly flashing his ID at me. I then 124 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.120 proceeded to tell him that I am the owner and 125 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.160 why was he here. He stated that he received a 126 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.720 complaint about a building violation and that our fence is 127 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:22.800 too tall, and we must cut it down from six 128 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.240 feet to five feet. Keep in mind my neighbor's fence 129 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.439 is taller than ours. B t W. I told the 130 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.920 inspector that three licensed contractors that we contacted all informed 131 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:34.800 us we didn't need a permit, but that if they 132 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.160 were wrong, we would gladly comply, of course, and or 133 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.319 apply for the needed permit. He stated that there is 134 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.360 no possible way the city would approve it, and I 135 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.279 told him we will work with the city and find 136 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.720 a solution. We don't want to cut corners and want 137 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.639 to do it right. My husband then comes out and 138 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.000 gets informed on what's going on, and then my husband 139 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.560 asks the inspector for his email or business card so 140 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.519 we can follow up and work together to fix it. 141 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.879 The guy refused to give us any card or email 142 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.879 to follow up with him. He told my husband all 143 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.360 the information is on the city website. Why do you 144 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.800 need my information for? He was very rude. I know 145 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.759 how to talk with people, so I told him, look, 146 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.480 I get you come across a lot of people who 147 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.639 argue back and give you a hard time, so you're 148 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.800 on guard. But I assure you we don't want to argue, 149 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.800 and we want to fix this issue. He then calmed 150 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:24.680 down and told us he has kids too, and he 151 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.839 understand why we need a fence, et cetera. He then 152 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.839 told us he would give us forty eight hours to 153 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.959 get a permit, and then he left. Once I got home, 154 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.480 I reviewed the camera footage, and the inspector entered our 155 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:37.680 property and did not ring the doorbell to try and 156 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.360 speak with us. He just trespased and was walking around 157 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.199 looking at our property. He didn't measure anything, nothing, So 158 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.800 I began to get suspicious. I then remembered when my 159 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.120 neighbor threatened us and the workers, saying she had an 160 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.279 inspector friend and she was going to report us. On 161 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.399 top of that, why didn't the inspector want to give 162 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.879 me any information to follow up? So weird? Then he 163 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.480 tells me to get a permit in forty eight hours. 164 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.720 He didn't even tell me which one. And if he 165 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.720 said the city would not approve it, why didn't he 166 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.079 tell me to apply in forty eight hours? Things just 167 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.600 seemed off I'd so then I went to do my research. 168 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.600 I contacted my alderman's office and asked for assistance in 169 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.680 applying for a permit. I wanted to make sure we 170 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:27.079 did the right steps after we apply for our permit. 171 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.040 I asked the representative if they could look up the 172 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:33.000 complaint for me because the interaction with the inspector seemed suspicious. 173 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.480 She agreed and looks up the report. There was a 174 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.759 report made seventeen days ago by our neighbor before our 175 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.200 fence panels were up, that our fence was not on 176 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.919 our property line. The report said nothing about fence height. 177 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.440 She also told me there was no inspector assigned to 178 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.960 the case and that it was still open pending investigation. 179 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.559 So that's weird. I'd maybe he was legit and didn't 180 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:59.679 update the case, but it's all not adding up. So 181 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.159 the alderman agrees this is weird and states that they 182 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.240 are going to get some one from downtown involved to 183 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.519 speak with my neighbor because she is harassing us and 184 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.039 it's just too much. The report she made was false, 185 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.399 Our fence posts are on our property lines. We have 186 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.960 our plat survey that proves all of this, in addition 187 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.159 to all the other things listed in my other Reddit 188 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.320 posts that she has done. So to day, I'm just 189 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.639 minding my own business like I usually do, and I 190 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.000 get a notification on my camera. I see some one 191 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.320 sticking their hand through my fence, pointing at my back, 192 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.879 and moving down my fence repeatedly doing the same thing. 193 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.240 So I go outside and calmly ask the women, do 194 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.159 you have any questions about my fence that I can 195 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.320 help you with. I see that you're sticking your hand 196 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.519 through and pointing. She tells me, I'm your neighbor down 197 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.440 the block. I was just speaking with your next door 198 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.279 neighbor and she has a problem with your fence. I 199 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.480 let her know that the neighbor's claims are bogus, and 200 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.039 that we now have a permit for the height of 201 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.039 our fence, and I have a survey of our property 202 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.120 proving we are on our property line. I told her 203 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.200 that the neighbor is crazy and if she has any 204 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.360 concerns to please speak with me. As I turn, I 205 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:04.519 see my neighbor in her bushes by her door. She 206 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.039 was outside the whole time and stopped the neighbor as 207 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.360 she was walking her dog to complain about our fence 208 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:12.919 and spread false claims again. Then the neighbor leaves and 209 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.600 immediately stands and stares at our house, looking at the 210 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:19.279 permit displayed on our front door. This is getting crazy 211 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.159 and I really didn't want to do tit for tat, 212 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.600 but I reported her illegal basement apartment, which is not 213 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.279 a false allegation because her zoning does not allow for 214 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.240 a basement apartment. She also does not have two entrances. 215 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:32.960 I really didn't want to do it, but she is 216 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.120 really pushing me to become a person I don't want 217 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.240 to be. I want this all to be over already 218 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.240 praying she can finally understand reality soon. I will update 219 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.120 if anything else happens. Additional information from O O P, 220 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.960 who has received the translation of the audio file. O 221 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.240 O P. I got the translation here. It is if 222 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.679 you're interested. Women is my crazy neighbor. Man is her 223 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:00.879 realtor friend She called over to look at my house 224 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.080 and complain. It looks like he was trying to actually 225 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.679 help us, and she was getting mad at him. He 226 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.080 was mostly trying to mediate with her, allowing us to 227 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.320 close the back fence that has always been closed for 228 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.519 over twenty years. But now that she is mad, she 229 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.639 is not allowing us to close it because she owns 230 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.840 a couple inches of property next to her garage that 231 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.240 is unfenced and open to our properties, So in order 232 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:21.919 to close it off from the alley, we need to 233 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.000 close it on her few inches of property, or else 234 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.840 someone can slip through. Disily, she is just using that 235 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.360 as leverage. Doesn't matter to us. We can just fence 236 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.279 it straight down our property if we have to, and 237 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.440 she will have awkward fenced in boxes on the side 238 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.639 of her house and she can't get in. Makes no sense. 239 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.799 She is just using that as leverage because it's all 240 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.279 she has. That's the back story on the back l ol. 241 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:47.480 And below in the transcript, Woman, it's mine. Man, yeah, 242 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:50.919 but you use this M. The rats were running in 243 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.639 front of the garage. W. He should catch those rats. 244 00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:01.039 EM okay today W curses. I'm sorry the rats were running. M. 245 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:06.759 Does it bother you? Why? W? Yes, it bothers me. 246 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:12.440 And he will destroy it because he is so mean 247 00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:20.320 and it will M. But he asked you and you agreed. W. No, 248 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:23.320 nobody talked to me about it. They just put up 249 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:29.360 the fence English part. W cries Jesus on no, no, M. 250 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.840 And now what's bothering you that it'll be open or 251 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:37.639 that it'll be closed? W? What that? M? So if 252 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:42.240 he closes it and puts something it'll be safer for 253 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.759 you and for M. W. But but it's mine. M. 254 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.279 Why does that bother you? W It bothers me because 255 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:56.519 I'll have the entrance there M where W from that side? M? 256 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:01.080 But from that side you block the entrance yourself. W. 257 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.960 I'm going home because it's too cold. Are we going? M? 258 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.759 Wait a second, W No, No, I don't want to 259 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.559 talk to him. I'll talk to some one else. I'm 260 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.200 going to go to the city hall. M. What do 261 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.639 you want them to do? Two? Put here? W. I'll 262 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.519 just sort this out. I'm not giving up M. To 263 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.919 be honest, I'll tell you I live in a building 264 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.240 far from the down town and I've done something to 265 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.440 my neighbors too. They have something near their house. W. 266 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:38.600 But why are you talking to them? You came to 267 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.840 see me. M. You know what. I think you could 268 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.879 stand your ground. But it doesn't make sense because he W. Yeah, 269 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.039 I'll stand my ground and he will do the same. 270 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:52.960 You know what, Nobody asks me for my permission and 271 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.080 do what they want. M. He said that he asked 272 00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:01.960 for permission. W. You know what I'm saying. M. But 273 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:04.080 why do you need the entrance to the garage from 274 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:10.159 this side? W. They did everything. Nobody asked me. It's 275 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:13.039 mine M. But you should look and see what you 276 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:17.679 did to the neighbors. Something with the entrance. W. This 277 00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:21.240 have been like this since the beginning, do you remember, M. 278 00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:23.480 But today someone could come to you and tell you 279 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:27.240 to take down something. W. Then I'll take it down. M. 280 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:32.960 That would satisfy you. W. You know what. I'm going home. M. 281 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:35.799 If I were you, I would let him to do 282 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.480 that thing. W And I won't M. But it'll be 283 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.879 safer and he will put a fence here W and 284 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:47.039 no M, so you will have W. No nobody asked me, 285 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.080 and I won't allow it. So I'm going home. I'm cold. M. 286 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.120 I'll go with you soon. W. You shouldn't be the 287 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:59.799 one sorting this out. English Part update two April twenty ninth, 288 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.360 twenty five. I know it's been a few weeks since 289 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.960 my last update. A few of my neighbors actually found 290 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.679 my post. So to protect the privacy and security of 291 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.279 myself and my neighbor, I removed my old posts because 292 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.440 there was pictures and videos that I didn't want getting 293 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.120 shared to neighborhood platforms. I mainly made my post to 294 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.600 vent and get feedback and didn't intend on it getting 295 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.559 so popular. It made it around the world and back 296 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.240 to my block. Lol, But I do appreciate the support 297 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.639 and advice from everyone on to the update. So a 298 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.799 lot has happened in the past two weeks. To start, 299 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.159 the workers came back to paint our fence and weld 300 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:37.480 some mesh on the fence. Our neighbor freaked out and 301 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.919 thought the workers welded our fence to her post. She 302 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.600 called our mediator representative from the Alderman's office. She came 303 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:47.679 out to check and immediately saw that we did not 304 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:51.279 connect her fence post to ours. Then our neighbor got 305 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:53.720 mad and started demanding for us to personally show her 306 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.360 our fence plans and permits. We had our permit on 307 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.600 our door. She got more mad and used a racial 308 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:01.720 slur to towards me and my family. And keep in 309 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.799 mind she said the racial slur about us to the 310 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.960 representative of the Alderman's office, so it has been documented. 311 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.600 That same day an officer from the city department from 312 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.159 Building and Code Enforcement showed up to our house. Again. 313 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.440 It was a different guy this time. He told us 314 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:18.440 that there was a report made alleging we were building 315 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.960 a whole new garage without a permit. We haven't changed 316 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.919 our garage at all. It's the same as when we 317 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:25.879 bought our home, and it's clear to anyone it was 318 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.120 not just built. The building inspector immediately closed the case. 319 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.519 At this point, our neighbor is being malicious and is 320 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.399 making false reports to harass us. What really worries me 321 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:39.080 is that if we ever want to sell our home, 322 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.399 these reports stay on record, even though they are false 323 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.039 and dismissed. After this, we did a FOYA Freedom of 324 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:49.639 Information Act for any three hundred eleven reports for our address. 325 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.679 She made three reports to the City do B Department 326 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.360 of Buildings, all made in March and all made before 327 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.720 our fence panels were even put up. She alleged we 328 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.399 built a new garage, that our fence posts was not 329 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.759 on our property line, and that we had installed a 330 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:09.279 side fence without building permit, all false allegations. Keep in 331 00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:11.839 mind we adjust the posts up March eighteenth, and our 332 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.480 panels didn't get put until April fifth. We also didn't 333 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.839 build the side fence she is talking about yet, so 334 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.599 she did a complaint in advance. Assuming we have no permit, 335 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.759 can't even make this stuff up. It's insane. Then she 336 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.519 made a false allegation to a police officer and told 337 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.640 them my husband was yelling and screaming at her and 338 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.079 throwing his hands up, intimidating her during a time she 339 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.440 was talking to her neighbors. Then the said neighbor walks 340 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:39.200 to her car at the same moment her and the 341 00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.559 cop are talking in. My neighbor points telling the cop 342 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.119 to go ask the women our neighbor from across the street. 343 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.079 The cop goes over and talks to her, and the 344 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:49.799 woman tells the cop my husband didn't do what was alleged. 345 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.160 Then the cop goes back over and tells my neighbor 346 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.640 that the witness to the alleged incident says nothing like 347 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.319 that happened. I also had the video and audio recording 348 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.720 of that conversation. My husband went outside because she involved 349 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.160 three neighbors at this point, calling them over talking about 350 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:08.400 our fence and us. He went outside to talk to 351 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.759 the other people and not her. Even his body language 352 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:13.720 in the video was not aggressive and he was not 353 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.920 talking to her directly at all. After he told the 354 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.720 neighbors what is happening our side, he left and let 355 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.279 them continue talking yet she wants to actually lie and 356 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.480 try and put him in jail. So glad I have 357 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.640 every interaction recorded. Same day, she gets very erratic and 358 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.240 upset that things didn't go her way. That she comes 359 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.319 outside while I'm outside and starts singing humming like an 360 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:39.720 opera singer. She has never did this before, and it 361 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:42.960 was just weird. I ignore her as I always do 362 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.960 and just let her be. Then she decides to go 363 00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:48.119 inside and get her purse to pretend like she is 364 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.319 going somewhere, and goes across the street, intentionally avoiding crossing 365 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.000 in front of the neighbor who told the truth to 366 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.960 the cops. They were outside on their porch. I assume 367 00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:58.440 she is now upset with them because they told the truth. 368 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.599 Then she goes and talks to their next door neighbor, 369 00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:05.119 who was just watering her grass. She proceeds to talk 370 00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:08.039 about our fence and us to them. I saw it 371 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:11.400 all plain as day because I was outside. I let 372 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.279 it go because I want to avoid her as I 373 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:16.759 always do, but it was so annoying. Then she leaves, 374 00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.599 and literally five minutes later she comes back in her house. 375 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:22.759 She just went around the block and pretended to leave 376 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:24.920 to just talk to another neighbor about us and just 377 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:28.519 slander us and paint us as bad people. I honestly 378 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:32.480 cannot understand this behavior. Then same day she calls some 379 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.319 one over to come look at our back yard. I 380 00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.680 literally can't catch a break with her. We aren't doing 381 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:43.240 anything wrong. Our fence is permitted by the city. She 382 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:45.720 is just mad that she can't walk down our property 383 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:47.680 as she did for twenty eight years to reach the 384 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:49.799 side of her house that she fenced herself out from. 385 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.680 And she can fix, but she refuses and instead blames us. 386 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.200 That's the end of the first story. Let's begin the 387 00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.799 second one. I hope you enjoy this story. What was 388 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.359 the most heart trending experience your parents put you through. 389 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:08.200 My parents weren't particularly keen on having children. I was 390 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.359 their sole offspring and essentially a surprise conception. As far 391 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.880 as I know, relatives have told me. My childhood was 392 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.440 initially good, but after I started growing out of the 393 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.519 cute and adorable phase, my parents were less inclined to 394 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.599 spend time with me. They both worked and had their 395 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:28.680 own business that they started together. That business was their life, 396 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:32.119 and I always came second to it. Any Other close 397 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.240 family members lived states away, and I barely knew anything 398 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.599 about them until I was an adult, so I had 399 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:42.720 no other family around my entire childhood. I was practically 400 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:46.279 raised by t V and my school teachers. My own 401 00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:49.519
