Getting saddled with a bad neighbor is an unfortunate kind of existence, because it's not like in kindergarten, when you can magically walk away from a fight. When it's your neighbor, the fight lives next to you pretty much indefinitely. And no neighborhood understands that struggle more than the one with the crazy neighbor who picked a fight with a group of kids who were just trying to play kick ball outside.
The boys arrived in the cul-de-sac with a ball and a goalie net, at which point the woman marched out and told them to go away and stop playing in her yard. It's clear to anyone who was was watching the video that they were not anywhere near her yard, and playing in the street. She continues to insist that they go away, and then physically drags their net away, steals their ball, and even tries to push them out of the street.
The kids stood their ground at least, and although they weren't always super respectful about it the whole time, my sympathy for this woman is zilch. The exchange goes on for 12 minutes of her berating them to leave, despite the fact that they have every right to be there—and hell, even if they didn't, it's not her place to tell them to go away. The street isn't her property. The whole thing will make your blood boil, but at least these kids had a sense of humor about it.
Here's the video that the kids took documenting the whole bizarre exchange:
In celebration of this bonkers woman, here are some other terrible neighbors so she can be in good (bad?) company:
Sid from Toy Story
TERRIBLE HUMAN PERSON who mangled other people's toys and scarred his sister for life.
This person who left a note harassing an amputee
Get this: The woman goes through a huge legal ordeal to get a handicapped space in her apartment lot for herself, because it's a huge struggle for her to go long distances. This neighbor not only took up her spot without a handicap sticker, but left the most unbelievably terrible note about it for the woman to find.
Justin Bieber
He egged his neighbor's house last year. That's right: A 19-year-old bajillionaire got his kicks by egging his neighbor's house. What the what, Justin? Find some better hobbies.
