My nanna always said never get too friendly with your neighbours. Keep it to civil pleasantries, because if you ever fall out you’re stuck living next door.

[@didisa5242]

I Agree

[@michaelhoggarth89]

Mrs H 🇬🇧 .... Totally agree...Hazel is a miserable Narcissist ....

[@cw9007]

Just out of interest, what is it about her that makes her a narcissist? I agree that she doesn't seem very pleasant but am interested in understanding what traits you see in her that make her narcissistic?

[@TinyTinaTeaParty]

I thought the same thing about Jamie. He’s a monster you can see it in his cold dead eyes and I do believe he is incredibly dangerous. He was the one to call hazel nasty names and he was the one who was raging so badly. Please watch the negotiations again: that man IS dangerous. I’ve seen that very same evil look in a man right before he attacked me viciously and I’ve seen it in others faces.

[@TinyTinaTeaParty]

Everything Jamie is saying is a deflection and a lie. He is accusing them of things he’s doing and that’s what a narcissist does. He’s gaslighting them. Did you see how he claimed theu went over the fence and called them dirty English trash but seconds later he was calling hazel filthy. I believe he said it 2 or three times and then said “go take a bath” I’ve not seen hazel say anything that nasty. I’ve been around a lot of abuse and I think you’re not seeing the truth here. That guy is a monster and even his wife was begging him to end this nonsense. He’s making his wife sick with his vibrant evil presence. I know that feeling because I lived in that before. They never stop talking about the other person and it’s pure vile poisoning and in time you become a different person.

[@GenaF]

Absolutely 90% Hazel in this. I felt as though she almost thrived on the aggravation between them. Each time things were almost solved, she would up the ante. I never thought they'd resolve matters between them to the point of bringing part of the fence down to 3ft tall. If they start having problems again, I would quite happily swap my house with either of them. What I'd do to have a garden like that.

@@SunakStarmerisacunt no she’s deffo the main issue. She hung her washing on the previous frail fence so much it was bowing. So Jamie built a NEW fence standard back yard UK ‘height fence.. but Hazel didn’t like that so she then has to build a platform to see into their garden? When asked to move the platform (which would pretty much mediate majority of issues) she flat out refuses.. she is the main antagoniser in the entire situation. Jamie is basically reacting to her narcissism with his own narcissism.

[@antonglas7488]

I am English and my family and I have lived in Thailand for the last 20 years. Over here we have our house land with lots of space and although we do have neighbours there is lots of space between us and them, our homes are completely detached from each other. The British system of joined homes does not work whereas neighbours that are strangers are literally sharing each others space with just a wooden fence between them. In those circumstances there are guaranteed to be conflicts. Back in England we lived mostly in terrace houses and could literally hear our neighbours peeing in their toilets and even having s*x as their bedroom walls backed onto ours. I can remember when a kid my parents were often having arguments with their neighbours. I could never go back to that style of living again.

[@shabbysuzannah3702]

I agree, living literally on top of each other doesnt work. I shudder to think about people living in such close proximity. We live in a small village in England and have plenty of space. TBH we don’t know any of the neighbouring people, we say hello if we meet on dog walks but I really could pick out the majority of our few neighbours in a line up. Just the way we like it.

[@Bulletguy07]

@anton glas UK style of building is pretty much as you described and the best way of seeing this is when flying to UK and if lucky enough to have clear skies you can see clumps of houses making up estates and then mile after mile of open pasture land until the next cluster of houses. However the two properties in this video are a rarity with huge gardens backing on to open pasture land with far reaching views. That they were both rental properties was even more unusual. Both couples need a dose of living in a terraced house to make them realise how fortunate they are!

[@cw9007]

What you describe isn't about a difference in culture, it is a difference in wealth. Your money goes a lot further in Thailand than the UK. A small terraced house where I live in south-east England will cost at least £400k. A one bedroom flat about £250k what will that buy you in Thailand? A detached house with plenty of space in my area will cost you over £1 million. Having lived in Thailand myself, there are plenty of people who do not live in detached houses with plenty of space and in the UK they wouldn't be able to afford a single room.

[@antonglas7488]

[@bakedbeans9546]

Agree, yet there's some amazing terraced house communities up here in north east England where everyone has known eachother for years, they all take good care of their homes while minding their own business. A large chunk of the population actually enjoy living in close proximity to others so they have the option of having good relationships with them. I know several of them who even holiday together, that's how friendly they are with eachother.

[@Dustandfuzz]

Kids were better behaved than the parents. Parents aren’t setting a very good example for them. Teaching them to be hateful. The places are attached. Always live in your own separate detached house. Don’t even share a driveway or any property. Have a good fence but realize people can use their own property how they like. If the neighbor works or doesnt work is none of your business. Ignore each other if you can’t get along. Fighting just hurts everybody.

They all behave like children. Zoe crying and acting like a baby at the prospect of being in the same room as Hazel seems over the top considering there’s a mediator present. The fact that Jamie slapped his wife across the face to “make her calm down” is a huge red flag. Hazel seems like the kind of woman who is controlling, stubborn and tends to cut off her nose to spite her face….nobody wins but she prefers to live without her nose to having to give an inch. I mean, if you aren’t guilty of inappropriate gestures what’s the problem with agreeing to never do it in the future? And moving that elevated playhouse to the opposite side of the property would still give the kids a view of the countryside without them being able to look down into the other garden….at least I think it would work that way. In my opinion, Hazel and Jamie both have the same temperament and are like oil and water. Nasty people. I feel sorry for the children.

Zoe didn't want to participate because she would have to admit that her husband beat her. She's afraid of her husband and she's willing to throw someone else under the train. Her husband is pissed because his wife told someone.

Well you’ve saved me the trouble of saying what you’ve already said! The adult I feel huge sympathy for is Zoe. She is like a rabbit caught in a snare. She really does look scared of Jamie and he is the total boss in this marriage and she better believe that or else. As soon as Zoe said that only once did Jamie slap her she immediately followed up with (and I paraphrase here) “but he’s never beaten me up and I swear on the kids life on that.” I don’t believe her as she defended him instantly after she admitted he’d slapped her. That’s a scared woman talking here. Hazel and her hubby are so far up each other’s arses that they can tell you how far their food has been digested. Hazel rules the roost in this marriage and don’t he know it. At least Jamie apologised for lying to Hazel. It must have been like getting teeth pulled without an anaesthetic but he did it. Bobs old army training came good in civvy street as he persevered and chipped away at Hazels concrete block of stubbornness until he cracked it. Didn’t think you were gonna do it Bob! Nice work indeed. And at least the kids are all talking and playing with each other and that’s cool and maybe could be the foundation for a better understanding all round. Here’s hoping! 👍👏

Hazel is an absolute horror . She is exactly the sort of woman that gives rise to the invention of rude vulgar and venomous words to describe women .She and her ilk give women a bad name .I wonder what sort of a teacher her husband is? Personally I wouldn’t want him anywhere my children are . Of course Zoe and husband are far from blameless in this .I’ll bet a slap in the face calmed Zoe down all right ,instilling a fear in her very useful for her ex bouncer husband.I do believe though,that the plague is strengthened and fed by Hazel .I wonder if she and her husband left Canada because they found the neighbours to be troublesome ?

[@pauldann2355]

It's pretty obvious what's gone on here. Jamie is a doorman which means he is violent (simple). Zoe is in an abusive relationship. She is terrified of Jamie. One night, after Jamie had hit Zoe (again), she confided in Hazel. Next thing, Hazel has confronted Jamie because she is not afraid of him. Jamie has exploded because he doesn't like the fact that Zoe has told the neighbours. Jamie tells Zoe never to speak to the neighbours again or else. The feud continues to escalate because Hazel knows exactly what Jamie is, and he hates it. Oh, and by the way. The builder that they interviewed about the drilling was clearly your stereotypical bouncer, and I would bet my house that he was Jamie's friend and ex work colleague.

[@katbar6066]

You are probably right but it is not Hazel's job to front up to Jamie. She should be there for Zoe, it's fine to not interact with Jamie but calling him out will only make it harder for Zoe in the long run.

[@SunakStarmerisacunt]

I agree with most of this but calm down on the stereotyping of bouncers. You sound like an ignorant cretin. The door man industry is a lot more respectable these days. Though this docu looks like it's from a good few years back.

[@Ucongold]

Ding, ding, ding! As a Canadian, who has also worked in Justice, I can say Hazel epitimizes all the resolve and equality that ALL women have and don't give up, and then they look like bitches. On another note, I can also see that that their sloven and shitty back yard really offends the neighbors.

We & another neighbour moved because of bad neighbours. It was horrendous

[@christopherwinstanley1348]

I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 and I have a similar problem. It's my neighbour, but the dispute is actually with my partner in anti-social behaviour matters. Having the council and police involvement has helped to take the fusion out... but with toxic people, they don't stop because of the narcissistic trait of seeing themselves as right and above others. It's more an attack on personal characters due to slander and one triggering the other. It's when anger meets with fusion that is usually the start... if that helps others to see. The difference with the interpretation of anti-social behaviour to others and the anti-social behaviour as the council acts on. Some aren't classed to be anti-social, although annoying, like drilling! Abusive, verbal abuse, and noise pollution are top of the list the UK council deem to be anti-social behaviour. There is a difference in anti-social behaviour that the council has the powers to deal with. Anti-social disorders in people are harder as there are no real boundaries to beliefs until incitement or affliction. It's harder to detect, and unless anyone has been through that, it's difficult to define. I'm in favour of that while renting or buying any property. These problems should be identified within the contracts.
