Thanks for putting your location in your channel description. I like to know where people are and in some channels I have to try and read license plates to see what state we’re in. Great channel. I will subscribe right now.
What time of day was that? Everybody is expected be puttering around their property by 8 AM at least. Having been a day sleeper for most of my life I never could complain about noise in the neighbourhood. Lawn care being one of them. Let him call the cops. They would have an issue if you were blasting music and carousing being a nuisance, but lawn care? Seriously? The cops would get a laugh I'm sure. Another reason to turn nomad when I retire. Too old, poor and unfit to take care of a lawn to your standards for one, but if having a neighbour like that I can always move.
I’m a police officer and I hate when neighbors use us for scare tactics. If I was called I would just tell you to call us if he came over and harassed you again. I would of told him to stay on his side of the fence and let you be. It’s not criminal to do yard work and help the citizens who need help. Thank you for what you do sir.
@10-42 Gamer, first off, thanks for your service. Secondly, I just commented saying the cops can't and won't do anything to him. The other guy on the other hand, 😂🤣 I'd call the cops on him if he came back out again and kept harassing me.
I had a situation like this back in high school. I worked for a lawn care company. One afternoon we were mowing someone’s yard and the neighbor complained we were being “excessively loud” and called the cops on us. When the cop showed up he told us how nice the yard looked and asked if we could do his yard the next day😂
You mean they didn't show up to kill you indiscriminately because of your race?!? Wow. The Internet tells me that ALL cops are killers and are looking for a reason to kill.
As a former police officer myself, I will tell you this. Do not ever worry about a jerk like that. There is no crime being committed by your doing yard work. BTW, If a crime would’ve been committed here it would be the neighbor harassing you! keep up the great work. I’m sure the sane people in these neighborhoods really appreciate you and all that you do. ❤
Not sure how it is in the US, but in my country, the only potential crime for doing this would be either tresspassing (assuming you do it without the home owner approval, something Spencer never does AFAIK), or doing it very early or very late (our country has a limit on noise before 7am and after 10pm). I really don't see how someone could even think of threatening to call the cops for that, in the middle of the day. At most you could go ask nicely telling there's a lot of noise and trying to negotiate how to limit the nuisance, but threatening with the cops is just dumb.
@@daedalron In Canada and the USA we have harassment laws. That means, the neighbors can be charged for two things depending on which State (US) or Province (Canada) this is taking place; harassing a person and/or wasting taxpayers money on Police Services by calling in Police. In fact, in Canada, Police can now issue a ticket to cover "recover taxpayer money" for wasting their time in some areas. That could be up to like $5000 CAD.
It was kinda noisey but what time was it? After 10.30am is fine but early Sunday mornings a little inconsiderate and there are laws on noise pollution...the decibels were definately up there. F the bully Karen neighbour threatening people with police however!!✌️✌️Nice job!!
GOD BLESS YOU Son. The neighbor had no business coming to you period for blessing that resident for doing what GOD LOVES, helping each other. I happy to see what the officers said about him harassing you.
Would the neighbor have complained if the owner of the house did the work and not someone that was doing a good deed? And why wouldn't he want the adjacent property to look nice? It's lunacy!
As a former police officer myself, I just want echo what others have said. You are not the problem at all. That neighbor was completely out of line by threatening to call the police. He should have stayed in his house. Thank you for remaining calm and not turning that into something completely unnecessary and negative. Your help and the work you do is truly a godsend!!! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!!! Keep up the great work!!! I love watching the transformation you create.
Being in law enforcement, calls like this are one of our biggest annoyances. I would end up having a nice talk with the caller about waste of police resources, misuse of 911, and a crime called public menacing. Keep up the good work, young man!
@@hagridlemonhead611 in some places there are actually, when my brother was little , like 3 or 4 years old, he dialed 911 and hung up the police showed up to my moms house and they told her they received a call and she said my brother called they told her if it happened again we would be fined for wasting the police time this was in Las Vegas
@Jesus Bejar I definitely would, mainly because I've seen way too many "unnecessary calls" turn into assaults, stabbings, and worse. You just never know.
It's the power he fill his whiteness wields. The police are his weapon. They do his dirty work at his beckoned call, and after they gun you down, his hands are clean. Brown people don't think like that. It's a white privilege.
Look at the long shadows at the start. It's morning, and not any morning - the morning after the NFL finals match at the Superbowl. A LOT of usually early risers are taking that morning off to catch up after celebrations. Spencer is within the law - but really kinda insensitive to the specific day with the volume of his gear.
The guy who came to complain outed himself as an idiot (and an alcoholic). He was vulgar, classless and a jerk. THANK YOU for providing your mowing services to those who need them and sharing your work with the rest of us.
I'm a cop (5 years). You aren't doing anything you'd be in trouble for. If I got that call along with most cops I know would tell the guy there's nothing he can do about it and that you are 100% in the right. If it was a slow day I'd even stick around and support you :) Keep up the good work!
SB is TOO nice!!! I'd say something to the effect of "Let me do you a favor, and call em myself." Then I wouldn't actually call them, just act like I am and say "I'm mowing some ladies lawn, and some guy is harassing me, saying I'm making too much noise... He seems intoxicated." Then hang up the call that never happened, and let him know he should probably scram cuz the feddys are on their way!
Even if he called the cops, there's nothing against the law in what you're doing. It's not too early in the morning nor too late at night. It's not overly loud. It's his own fault that he had a hangover. The cops would tell both you and him that you could keep doing what you were doing until you were finished with the job.
As a chronic migraine sufferer, I realize that part of the price of living in a neighborhood is common neighborhood sounds: kids playing, music blaring, airplanes flying, landscaping. If I wanted total silence, I’d move to the sticks. Thanks for all you do and God bless!
@anitamiller7960 Well yes but living with earplugs in your own home is kinda sad. You don't buy an expensive home to live with earplugs, you buy it to live in tranquility without earplugs.
@@biglittleboy9827 so how are we gonna live: everyone staying quiet and put for one person, or one person putting in earplugs? Above me live neighbours with little kids who constantly jump. A ceiling fell on me whilst asleep because of all the jumping throughout the years. Life is full of moments that we just have to live through. Also people who have migraines absolutely must investigate them and make it their #1 priority.
I live in the country & depending on the weather & wind direction , often hear the neighbors mowing , etc. I just tell myself that it's good they keep their yards & homes so nice plus do extra mowing of the ditches & along the roadsides (even tho' it's the township's responsibility ) . All caring so much has created a sense of community on our road ! 🥰 Most add flowers around their mailboxes for accents of interest & color . 🌻🌹 A lovely middle class rural neighborhood !
@@biglittleboy9827Unfortunatly everyday life is noisy. If you dont want to live around noise, dont live near people. I think its even sadder having to be quiet on your own property
As someone who suffers from migraines, I guarantee this jackass's headache wasn't actually that bad, because if it was, he'd be laying in bed in the dark, unable to move, with his blinds drawn and earplugs in. Keep doing you, man. Don't let this moron get you down.
Yes! This! I hate when people throw around the term "migraine" so loosely. I can't even get up off the bed to tell someone I have a migraine when I'm having one, let alone go outside in the bright sun and confront someone about noise. 🤢🤮
Exactly. Who has the energy to go outside when they have a bad headache or migraine. Let alone confront someone who's just doing there job. More like he was still drunk from the night before
@@GranmaShell then he needs to come up with noise mitigation options for himself. He can't expect everyone to be quiet at all times. That's impractical.
I don't know how it is in your state but where i live we have "quiet hours" between 8pm and 6am. After those hours i could just tell someone like that idiot to f off. Imagine that, threatening to call cops for mowing the lawn, what a joker. Anyway.. nice work, keep doing what you do - it's awesome.
I would've loved to hear that call to the local PD or 911. "Hello, dispatch? There's a guy out here mowing lawns!" "...yea?" "Well he's making noise, and I got drunk!" "...yea?" "So I want a unit sent out here immediately." "For...what?" "Beacause he's making noise while I have a hangover!" "Sir, I'm going to hang up now."
Nah more like “Sir this line is for emergencies only and a unit will be sent out to issue you a citation for abuse of a emergency line, have a nice day *click*”
The neighbor who threatened to call police is an example of a person that others don't want to live next to in any neighborhood. What you are doing to help others is inspiring.
I used to live in a certain neighborhood for my whole life until we moved pretty far but I had a neighbor who everyone hated and wanted out of the neighborhood I lived straight infront of him and he literally was the type of person to stare at you from you're window if you're outside minding you're own business and other shit caused so much drama with the neighbors broke into people's houses destroyed people's property's, We believed he slit my sisters bike seek and slashed our pool... and he literally yelled at anyone for being on the sidewalk infront of his house, a PUBLIC sidewalk and he ended up getting evicted and then him and his wife trashed the building, I feel bad for the landlord and the officers who had to tell him to knock it off. I wouldn't be surprised if his (at the time) 6 and 3 year old grow up to be as bad as him or worse.
@@jeremylindsey94Unless he has super human hearing or his windows/doors are open then I can KIND OF understand. However, It is not his yard it’s his neighbor’s yard, it’s during the day so he’s not waking anyone up unless they do night shift, and it might be annoying sure but they have every right to clean/upkeep their yard. I have no sympathy for that guy.
@@jeremylindsey94 Wow. Are you that moaning guy? If not, you sound like exactly that type of person, thinking you're the center of the universe. He's doing a service to his community and a few hours and he's done. Entitled people like you are what makes the world crud sometimes. Change your life and be kind.
@@jeremylindsey94The man came from across the road. At worst the mowing is simply audible, what does he expect everyone to just let their lawn turn into a jungle to protect his fragile little head?
@@jeremylindsey94 sounds like they need to get some noise cancelling earbuds, take an ibuprofen, and shut the fuck up. dude had a job to do, not his problem his weedeater made that little baby's ears hurt. life's full of inconveniences, deal with it
You should encourage these people to call the cops. As a former cop myself, I would congratulate you on doing a great job on keeping the neighborhood clean and tidy and not to mention, even keeping the value of his property high by having his neighbors yards kept in good order. Well done... Great job!
Yes, my thoughts exactly. No, it isn't any fun when you don't feel well and there is some kind of noisy work going on. As a Stage 4 cancer patient, I have much room to speak. BUT... It is not only totally lawful to do yard and various kinds of home improvement during the daytime, but it helps keep the value of the neighborhood up!
By helping this person, you are helping the whole neighborhood, and maybe preventing crime. Crooks look for under kepted property as an easy mark for a break-in, thinking it belongs to older people, or vacant. The police would not bother a person doing yard work, and might tell the Karen, if he starts any trouble that more than likely he will be the one getting into trouble.
Don't ever get discouraged by people like this. You are doing a great job and making a difference. You handled the situation so well and calm. Well done.
Also most city council rules regarding noise allow for such daytime activities. So that nasty neighbour could easily risk arrest or a fine for wasting police time.
Not handled well … It clearly shook him up … this guy does awesome work and needs to realize that people ain’t sh!$. I would have ignored and cranked up my weed wacker in front of him in a semi sarcastic manner … and watch him freak out and lose his mind … people like this need to realize that the source of their rage and frustration is themselves and no one else but if you let these Karens boss you around your just empowering them
You are too kind. I would have laughed out loud and encouraged him to go ahead and call. Speaking as a retired police officer I can tell you they will do NOTHING but tell him to go back inside and get over himself. LOL
@Aussie Pom speaking as a retired police officer, no, they would not charge him. Nobody's wasting the court's time with that. There's no charge. It wouldn't hold water. What I can tell you is that it would likely be an extremely long response time, to the point that by the time we arrived, Spencer would be done. Either by answering considerably more serious calls first or finishing our very long breakfast. Very, very long. On the other hand, if you have a good enough dispatcher, they would talk the guy out of a response indicating that there's really no complaint that the police can adjust.
I am a retired State Trooper and one night I received a call about a guy mowing his lawn at 1:00 AM in a house trailer subdivision. When I arrived he was mowing on a riding mower with lights and had about 2 more swipes to make. He said his neighbors kept complaining about his long grass, and he told them he was going to cut it the following Saturday when he was off from work, that he had been working a lot of overtime. When he came in from work around 11:00 PM his wife told him a couple of more neighbors complained so he decided to take care of the problem. I just kind of laughed and told him not to mow at 1:00 AM anymore. He said that he thought by doing it at 1:00 AM it might shut them up and that he is still going to mow the yard again on Saturday.
In that case I might have taken out my phone and said, "let me call the police on your behalf. I'll be glad to talk to them for you". Some people! Good work Spencer.
@@deepseadweller687 I guess you never been to West Virginia, Miss, Arkansas, or Kentucky, and i am no way knocking poor people, but how come all these states are Republican, but the point i am making, there are neighborhoods after neighborhood , filled up with house yards just like the ones you see on videos, i don;t know what party the gentleman is who cuts the grass, but i would dam sure make a bet with you that 80% of the bad yards belong to a Trump magot, just by the way they look, comparing to the people who go to his rallies.
@@judgejurylw1026What the f*&k does Trump have to do with this? Believe it or not,not everything in life is attributed to political affiliation Lol. Trump is no longer president; maybe it's time to move on eh.
So this guy wanted the world to stop because he got drunk and caused himself to have a hangover?!? Man, that's the price you pay. I love to watch your videos and see how much you help people.
Spencer, you are one in a million ! I have watched you for at least a year and a half and I have never seen anyone confront as this man did. Not only did you not challenge him, but you calmly told him that you would continue and leave when you were done. Applauses to you for continuing and doing such an awesome job on this property. The edging and clean up of the driveways and walkways have transformed this property 10 fold. Bravo!!! Here’s to 9.8 million subscribers and making it to 10 million by year’s end. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That guy is a jerk. You had permission from the owner. He thinks the world revolves around him. I would’ve told him,” I’ll save you the trouble and call them for you for harassing me.” You are a wonderful person to help the home owner with the yard. 💗
Exactly. Paid or not he is there by invitation of the home owner so he has as much legal right to make a noise trimming the spot as the home owner themselves. No doubt the pr1ck has no restraint when calling out a contractor or doing it himself.
@@larrymartineau7507Stop trying to act like a smartass with stupid comments. Let people be happy to help eachother, let the idiot neighbors be morons and save everyone the trouble and buy yourself a camera for $20 and stick that in your windows if you want to monitor random BS.
@@larrymartineau7507 he didn't threaten to call because he was on the property, he threatened to call because he can't handle his liquor and the noise made him sad. If you weren't borderline illiterate maybe you'd understand why this is a problem.
As a former landscaper, I used to deal with people like this. The noise policy is from 9pm to 7am where I live and it looks like it's well past the hour in the start of the video. That guy had no right to harass you. Thank you for everything you do
@@Nyx773 here it starts at 7am, but that doesn't stop me from telling everyone to respect our unwritten agreement that everyone adheres to. We have everyone tell their landscapers not to set up before 8am. Keeps things a little more sane for everyone, because people have to work and especially need their weekends for rest.
@@alexi.3414 I had a neighbor yell at me for having a conversation in the middle of the day, inside my own home. "I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" Fat cow probably never worked a day in her life, and somehow I was to blame for her poor sleeping habits. Unfortunately for her, after a number of such "requests" I just started listening to music 24/7. And my tastes did not align with her tastes. 😄
That guy was a massive tool. You were there during the day, when there’s no noise ordinance. His headaches don’t get to dictate when people can have their landscaping done. You handled it very well.
Can you even imagine that phone call? “Yes police, I need someone to come out here and stop making noise” “I’m sorry sir, what kind of noise are they making?” “Engine noise.” “Are they drag racing sir?” “No, they are mowing a lawn!!”
I'm not sure I could have stayed calm. Probably would have added to that idiots headache, but I'm glad you didn't and just kept working. Great job!!! 👏👍
I worked for a police department for 27.5 years and NEVER did we answer a call for someone doing yard work. What the heck does that goofball do when any of his other neighbors do their yards? Definitely be aware of your surroundings for idiots like him but don’t let that scare you. Great 👍 job!!!
watch youtube more then u will find many such complain especially from the great county of America..where u will find many weird n funny things to be complain and called the police.
Alternative reaction, which I experienced once in France in vacation: the police was called, they came around and after listening to the _anger_ of the caller, they told *him* they can take him to their office, after asking the gardener, how long it will take to finish his work, to bring the caller back home, afterwards. The caller was ... how, should I say? ... very mad to the police officers, by verbally abused them, who arrested him as a result. I don't know how it is in the USA, but anyone who insults a police officer in many European countries, risks 2 years in prison plus an additional hefty fine. Even gestures like the middle-finger or else, are recognized as insults.
@@Freddy2TakeOffYeah, France totally isn’t an authoritarian police state or anything. While I like the sentiment of the story that the heckler caller who was causing problems got what he deserved, any country who makes it a prison worthy crime to flip off a public servant are tyrannical in nature. The riots in France going on now and for the last month are quietly being suppressed by the French state, and I applaud the French people for historically not being afraid to bring the axe down on their leaders if they aren’t serving their countrymen. Of course this tangent wasn’t directed at you, I just find it ridiculous that other citizens of western 1st world country’s aren’t truly free.
I suffer from migraines, so can understand the noise being frustrating, but I would NEVER think that I have more rights or that I’m more important than my neighbors. I hate seeing people treating others like this.
@@soldandroad yeah, assholes gotta be assholes. Plus, his lazy unemployed ass was probably oversleeping on a Monday morning. I just don't understand how the noise could have annoyed him if he was inside his house.
My husband and neighbor across the street both traded off mowing the yard of the elderly woman next door for about 20 years. Hardly a word was spoken between them about it. If one of them was mowing and her yard needed it, they just quietly did it. She always had a can of soda and a couple cookies for them. ❤ The small spirited people who complain about such noise during non- curfew hours, especially when it’s a benefit to the entire street, are the last ones who’d ever help out.
Exactly. That's what I said. Maybe if he helped out where needed then he wouldn't be bothered with the extra noise next time. Aaand get to look like a good guy instead of a d$#^
I would have taken my time and waited for the cops to show up, you did absolutely nothing wrong but help out someone who needed it! Another great video.
Disappointed that the police didn’t come. Would have loved to see the neighbor explain that he called the cops because his neighbor was having his lawn done 😂
Honestly. He's been authorized to do the work by the homeowner. The neighbors have no say. And this was a Monday morning so most of the working class would be at work anyway
Freaking lawn has not been mowed in months and the single day it is finally being done the d-bag neighbor cries about it like a prototypical Karen? I am glad the cops do not show up to obvious non-violations.
The old saying no good deed goes unpunished, I can't stand people like that, your helping people and just because of a little noise they think they can waste police resources, keep up the great content Spencer your doing great work
If the dude had called the cops, and the cops had shown up... They would most likely have just had a chat with you about how cool it is the fact that you fix people's gardens and do it all for free. The cops would probably be amazed by the work you do and complimented you on it. And the dude who called them should have feld ashamed for calling the cops and wasting the time of a valuable security resource that most likely could have been used elsewhere where real crime had taken place. Keep on doing what you are doing! You are doing amazing work!
I applaud you sir, I’m a cop in Wisconsin and we get complaints like this all the time from older folks who live in the suburbs and we tell them they are making the town look presentable and to stop harassing them for ensuring their yard looks nice. Awesome work keep it up!
I had a deal as a young man a long time ago. I was doing a loop around a couple blocks on my bike training for a bike race. This old lady would come out and stare with arms folded. Then, the cops pulled up at her house. I knew she frivoluosly called the cops, so I took off down a bike path the cops came rushing down the BIKE PATH in their car to "get" me. I gave them a piece of my mind for doing the old lady's bidding and endangering me, and that I did nothing wrong at all
We had cop called on us forth of July one time party and we moved our tree the cops came to hurry up real quick are we going to fire department calls on this three times for him to fire one lady called and said we were burning the whole neighborhood down but that wasn't true
And I had the cops one time this guy that I used to know his bike got stolen I called the cops they had no Samaritan or nothing that I said if you had your siren so you could call them
That's pretty much what it means. You can do all the good in the world that you wish, but you will always run into a few bad apples that can't stand seeing you do it for whatever pointless reason they have.
While the neighbor went too far, there is a noise ordinance for day also. Just because it's not night doesn't mean you can make all the noise you want. After all the neighbor should know that he was doing a job.
@@littlemissy8356 ya maybe a party or yelling or screaming there’s no noise law on yard work unless ur doing it at midnight so yes u can make all the noise u want with ur weed eater during the day
@@Sunfl75 you can't make a noise above some decibels (maybe 60) even during the day. Mowing is allowed, of course. Blasting music withought a permit isn't.
@@alexnewman5101 that wasnt a "sad and suffering guy". Just a pathetic asshole who decided to pass out on beer the previous night and thinks everyone should stop their lifes because he has a alcohol migraine
Why didn’t that neighbour go over and help his neighbour every so often doing his yard work and then there would be no noise concern? Too selfish to help and too controlling to allow someone to help his neighbour. That guy needs to get a life! I love what you do for those who are unable to do their yard work and to clean up the neighbourhood. You have a heart of gold and we need more people like you in this world.
Please don't let people like that intimidate you. If he called the cops, they would be on your side. I was hoping he would call the cops so we could watch the cops tell him to get lost.
@@jeremylindsey94I see you copy and pasting this response a lot and you are right, we should all identify with the male Karen and ignore the noise laws so that the world may continue to revolve around him.
My thoughts exactly. The neighbors that complain usually are the more sensitives ones that quote the Law they happily break daily. They seem to think they are the 'exception'. I also use power tools and would go to this person's yard and do his lawn IF they were to come at me like this since he seems to love them so much!
What do you want to bet he has a running feud with this neighbor and was hoping to confront them about the noise. Probably even madder now that he hasn't gotten into a fight.
Assuming after 7am on a Monday morning per most city noise ordinances (you mentioned day after Superbowl Sunday), I can only guess he was staying at a buddies house in the RV across the street OR he called into work sick lol. Thank you for not letting the bully get you down, and for finishing what you started for the homeowner. I'm sure they appreciated it. Looked great!
I have a tip because this has happened to our business a few times during the busy times of the year and the neighbours thought we were up to something shady. Call the police first. Inform them you are doing your job and a neighbour has threatened to call them. This way they can either disregard the neighbour when he does call or they will be aware of the situation if they show up and tell the neighbour to flock off. Communicating with the police has always worked out well for us and we don't have these types of problems anymore.
My brother runs a lawn care company. He could write a book about the crazy neighbors complaining about the sound of equipment, the grass being blown onto the sidewalk, and even wheel tracks. It's nuts.
Don't take it to heart, that miserable bag of worms is mad at the world because he just found out that his husband has been cheating on him, with his best friend, and he decided to take his frustrations out on you. (Just keep on shining your light. The world is a better place because you are in it... that other guy, not so much!)
That guy had a lot of nerve coming on to you like that. So proud of you for continuing and finishing your job. And as usual you did a terrific job!!! Kudos!!!
“Hello yes 911 there is someone mowing a lawn in my neighborhood”😂 people are unbelievable. Kudos to you for keeping a cool head and doing an amazing job. Seeing selfless acts such as these restores my faith in humanity!
If someone said that shit to me I wouldn’t keep calm. I woulda said “you probably wouldn’t have a headache if your dumbass didn’t drink a 12 pack of beer last night! So get the fuck out of my face and go back in your home and thank me later for helping your neighborhood!

My jaw dropped when I saw this! The neighbor having the audacity to threaten to call the cops because of his hang over. You do such a great job. Keep up the good work and I'm proud of the way you handled this guy!! The work you did on the yard is awesome!!
Praise the Lord Jehovah am from the Bahamas. And know one do any yard for free. Keep doing what you are doing. It is a blessings. Praise the Lord you have are a soldier 🙏🪖
Y’all do realize that selling a home and finding a new home are *also* hard work and might not be possible for people stricken by hardship? Apologies though, I’m sure y’all forgot to mention that you (people who assume moving is an easy answer) offer free realtor services, home makeovers, inspections, help with double utilities, find new doctors and government services, and full moving services for folks who otherwise have no way to move to situations more in line with their current circumstances.
It doesn't pay to stoop to a lower level. More like, "I'll be here. Thanks for letting me know. Thing is, the guy may have called and was told they couldn't do anything. That's why Karens call and make stuff up to get cops to come. NOW people are being charged for lying!
Confrontation can cause you to freeze when it comes from left field when you're minding your own business. Generally you say it best when you say as little as possible without escalating or embarrassing a clown like that
To the Complaining Neighbor: Sorry, you got a migraine or hangover. But, we can't cater to "everyone" around us. Some of us have responsibilities during the day - to do upkeep & maintenance on our properties, & work. If you don't like the noise, have you ever heard of noise-canceling headphones or earplugs? Some of us have responsibilities and need to get our yards done when the sun shines. We cannot sleep all day.
Too many complaining, miserable, ungrateful people in this world and not enough of people like you, Spencer!! Thank you for caring and trying to make a difference!
believe he was in the wrong you think he be thrill to have house looking good next to him. Some poeple are just so unhappy kinda sad that this man thinks what he wants come before anyone else that lives on that street. I always the Police are our friends when it comes to that person who think he above everyone else in the world.
Especially when it's apparently the guy's own fault for being a drunk over football. If he can't control his drinking, then taking it out on a lawn worker is the wrong response. HE is at fault. HE drank and got hung over.
Your work ethic is awesome! I have worked for lawn care and landscaping companies when I was younger. Your videos are somehow very satisfying. Never let a goof like that guy get in your way. If he continues to approach people like that he will definitely run across someone who is not as tolerant of his behavior as you were.
Neighbor: you got 10 min to finish or I'm calling the cops. Spencer...proceeds to take a 10 min breather, then finishes. 😂 You are awesome Spencer. Making neighborhoods look nicer one yard at a time.
The guys blaming you for the headache he gave himself. You’re awesome for being easy going and respectful to him. Even if he didn’t deserve it. You have my respect right here ✊🏼
@@JBplumbing12 I have to admit. the last thing i would wanna hear is a weedwacker after a heavy a night of drinking. but the thing is, It doesn't look like it's 5 in the morning, and the world doesn't need to cater to you just because you have a hangover. I would just put in some ear plugs and go back to sleep haha.
I would have told off that guy for him if I was there. I’ll be that guy. That’s how my brother is real respectful and Timid. I hate when people talk over him.
SM Mowing...I have helped people in need all of my life but after watching a couple of your videos, I really need to step up my game. Much respect for all you do.
And at this writing, 51 THOUSAND people have liked what you did for this resident, and 2,193,531 people have seen what an assh*le neighbor lives across the street! You keep doing your kind works, Spencer. We're all here for it.
@@AnthonyMiyazaki Truly. Having watched some of Spencer's other videos, I get angry on behalf of the people he helps. The general conversation when so-called neighbors stop Spencer to talk is to denigrate the person who can't do the yard maintenance up to their standard. How much would it put you out to ask if you can mow every other week or so to help out a neighbor and "protect" the property values at the same time? Not much. But the neighborly thing to do is to be mean and callous to the poor person. (My thought is they want their yard done for free too when they find out what he's doing.)
I feel bad for you. That was totally uncalled for. You should’ve called the cops instead! He doesn’t own the whole street and had no right to threaten you like that. Anyway, love the channel and keep doing what you’re doing. You’re making a difference unlike Mr. Hangover
When a neighbors house or condo is getting improvements made, invariably I’m pleased cuz it generally means the property is being maintained, things look better, home values increase .. all kinds of good reasons. The complaining neighbor looks like he could use the exercise, get outside and help out SB 😁
I'm a night worker, do I sleep during the day. I understand being annoyed at these sounds, but MOST people work during the day. Buy sound-cancelling headphones if you suffer from headaches. I use them for sleep, and they are amazing. This person is doing a great service -- thank you for being kind!!
I also work overnights and sleep during the day. I live in a town home and they were doing work on the roof for a solid 2 weeks... I dont have noise canceling headphones. I didnt get a lot of asleep for those 2 weeks haha
I work at night as well and it’s irrational to be mad at someone making noise during the day, like yard work. Most of the world functions during the day, and while I find it annoying if it were to happen to me (and it has), threatening to call the cops is a scare tactic that is shameful and pitiful. Keep up the great work, you’re inspiring. 🧡🧡
We suffer from migraines but that is no one’s fault so I would not take it out on someone just because I have a migraine or because I was an idiot that decided to get drunk and was hungover the next day. The day is to work and I cannot tell my neighbors not to do it during the day because that might be the only chance they have .
You have no reason to be afraid of some random bully who thinks his needs supersede everyone else’s. You’re doing nothing wrong. On the contrary, you’re doing right. Keep up the great work!
The guy reminded me of someone still in high school. Poor guy has a hang over. He probably sits watching sports all day with a beer in his hand. He probably relives his football days and wears his letter jacket. Go sleep off your hangover dude
I beg to differ. The bully who thinks his needs supersede those of others is the chainsaw mower, who actually has no personal need at all to cut someone else's grass in a neighborhood that is not his own, in complete inconsideration of the people of that neighborhood. The one man who confronted the do-gooder chainsaw-machine bully is not thinking of his own needs, since he is not the only one living there and disrupted by that noise. Moral of the story: leave the grass of other people in other neighborhoods alone. It is none of your business.
@@timhuson4800 He was doing a decent thing. Are you insinuating that landscapers may no longer use power tools in the middle of the day? I used to work nights and slept during the day. But I would never think of telling landscapers they could not do their jobs because they were annoying. This kid was doing a good deed and you’re calling him a bully? You need to redirect your priorities buddy.
@@bluesdog645 The situation is nuanced. First of all, what they did was not selfless altruism. They planned to turn it into a video that paid royally. So let's quit with the their merely helping out. I do think the guy was rude in how he approached the mower guy. But some consideration should be given to noise issues, and for the mower guy to pretend complete innocence is what I was reacting to. What if he had said something different: "We need to get this done quickly, not just to avoid the cops, but because we are decent people who won't want to pierce off people in the neighborhood. Yes, there are non-power tools to use for trimming. If I lived in a city, I'd use one out of consideration for my neighbors, and also to get some exercise. This was how everyone did it until the 1970s and 80s, when ever new electronic gadgets were invented to use more fossil produce more waste. If one were really volunteering free labor anyway, then why not add a bit more free labor and not disrupt the neighbors. No, I would not have done what the neighbor did, and certainly not in his style. But the content, if not the manner, of what he conveyed could have been taken by the mower guy as a lesson on how to get along while also helping. Instead he pretended to be blameless and self-righteous, and that is why I responded the way I did.
I only have one thing to say to this young man who helps people with their overgrown lawns. Never change who you are. This world needs more people like you.💛
I doubt he would be cutting overgrown lawns if he wasn't making thousands of dollars on youtube videos. I hesitate to encourage people to do things because they can make money on youtube unless you're ready to start appearing in other people's videos when out in public.
@@Lafue108 of course he wouldn’t do it for free it’s hard work the money from RUclips let’s him do this for people without making them pay for it and he’s not doing it for free he’s doing it for as you said the thousands he makes on RUclips what are you even saying in the last part of your comment? Besides he could make plenty more money doing other stuff on RUclips because he’s clearly good at it so this is obviously something he enjoys and it’s awesome to be able to do it for free and get your revenue source from YT
@@Lafue108 well obviously the money comes from somewhere. Does not change the fact that he is helping people out in the community with his time. He could still charge a small fee, then still have an awesome before and after video.
@@Rayslote01I dont think you understand how much 5-10M views on youtube pays. It's not like a few bucks to cover bare operating costs, and the real benefiter is the youtuber. Being a saint would be paying the people with overgrown lawns a large portion of the youtube income, from videos you took of their property, to help them through tough times.
@@Lafue108 still doesn't change the fact that he does for no cost to them. Did you watch the video? Did you see what he did? It's not a simple mow and trim job on a regular yard. He edges and cleaned the cracks, cleaned the curb and drainage areas. Then he mowed, trimmed, and blew off an overgrown yard, for no cost to them. That's not a small job to do. You know how much that would have cost those people to have a regular lawn crew do all that? I hope he keeps doing this.
I love how many police officers watch mowing videos! :) It is great, to see you all support guys who are only trying to help others, make their homes more presentable!
Sometimes meanness needs to be dealt with by being meaner. There's an old saying, when kindness and care fail, brute force always wins. There's zero reason to be nice to that douche.
@@bizzhat so.. I've had guns pulled on me twice. 99.9% of people that do that don't have the balls to use it. It's their way of being "tough". But if that's a worry then there is a VERY simple way to combat it. Get your conceal carry license. The very simple fact is that people are afraid to stand up to people being assholes.
Sadly, haters choose to hate. You're doing something wonderful for the homeowners who must be struggling in some way to not be able to tend their yards. You're helping the whole neighborhood and hopefully starting a ripple affect of more kindness!
I'm genuinely sorry you were treated this way by this idiotic "man". Every neighborhood has one just like him. You handled it well and showed your character. I'm genuinely impressed.
I was just going to comment the same thing when I had my lawn care business I had someone do the same thing and I just dragged my feet and took that much longer just to tick them off
That was horrible for the neighbor to threaten you like that. I'm sorry you had to experience that. Happy you are safe and sound. Thank you for helping others in need. Bless you, Spencer.😊👍
Can you imagine the phone call to the police? "Hello there's someone mowing their lawn during the day, can you stop that?" The police wouldn't be able to stop laughing.
Guy: “You have 10 min” Spencer: * continues to make noise for another hour or 2 * Lmao! I love it 😂😂🤍 Also love your videos! Satisfies my OCD and relaxes my nerves a lot☺️👍🏽
Lmao yesss! Call me petty patty but I would of purposely taken as long as I could, maybe even a couple drink or snack breaks while I left my mower running 😂 🤷♀️
Screw that guy. Cops won't do anything as long as you have owners permission. This happened to me and the lawn company I worked for many times. But it is aggravating just dealing with something stupid like that. Love the work you do!
Agreed... I know exactly how you feel. I've had my share of Karens approach me for the same reason. I have found that when this issue arises, I watch Karen walk toward me, and he/she starts flapping the lips. #1. I continue my work. #2. I look at Karen and say quickly, talk to the owner, and continue the work. If you can remember one thought? That is when you say, "talk to the owner." It is important that you don't forget to smile! That really cranks the Karens up!
Thanks for the work you do. Thanks to the Leos that responded about the crazy neighbor and other self centered bullies like him. Awful neighbor: turn your anger into something peaceful and that will help others. Let this be your season of positive change.
Exactly! The audacity! The nerve! Dude’s out there doing backbreaking work and improving your neighborhood and you come rolling out like some pig full of lethargy and threats. Some folks need a punch in the mouth.
In Australia we tell these types of 'entitled' people to 'get stuffed'. You're not breaking any law mate. That wanker next door is by abusing you. Love your work mate!!! From Adelaide Australia 👍🤗🇭🇲
Who, with half a brain, would walk over to someone doing LAWN WORK in broad daylight….. who is clearly with a professional yard business…… and tell them they’re too noisy and you’re calling the calls….. get out of here! Keep doing what you’re doing!!!! ❤
The neighbors comments and the fact that the gentleman had not offered to help his neighbor says a lot about him. The comments from members of law enforcement below and your helping strangers out are heartwarming
I am shocked that someone would call the police bc of grass being cut. If anything, he should be happy you stopped to help his neighbor, something he could've done. But please, don't stop what you do. I randomly saw this video and I appreciate what you're doing
I grew up with a neighbor that lived across the street from me, that called the cops on me many times. Once saying that I drove a car all over her yard and destroyed it, doing thousands in damages. Well, the cop showed up, asked me my name, then asked me which of the 4 cars in my driveway that I used to destroy this person's yard. I answered none, and I was only 13, and the only car I was driving was my RC car that I raced. The cop started laughing when all I said was I went onto her driveway to allow my neighbor to drive by. I also had the cops called on me by the same person because the wind carried some grass clippings into her yard while I was mowing the house that was next to them. Cops showed up and once they saw what was going on, ended up going to her house and reprimanded her. She was also known to go out with scissors and a ruler, and trim the grass edges along her driveway. I think in the 20 years I lived there, she called the cops on me maybe 50 times. I am being very conservative with the number, for I feel it was close to double that. Granted, she only started calling the cops on me when I was around 12, and never for anything that I probably should have had them called on me, just always for stupid things. Her husband was a very nice guy, and I couldn't see what he saw her.
I do mow lawns in my neighborhood for free now and then, it doesn't take me much, I have a large rider, ( I'm a regular homeowner not a lawn guy ) some of the yards are not easy for people bc they are older folks, takes me 15 minutes to cut and then it's all good
I did landscape maintenance for 17 years and only once did I have a tool like that idiot ever come out. You did a great job in handling it. Work looks great, I wish more landscapers would offer services like this to help communities. God knows there are many more like this out there.
You do a valuable service for people like me who had a horrible injury at work. Disabled people appreciate your time effort and kindness. You were raised well. Thanx for what you do
I had an employee that got yelled at by a Film Crew Karen here in Atlanta. He ignored her and took his time, which is exactly how you help people who suffer from egocentrism.
not saying this dude wasnt an idiot for complaining about someone doing his job and some people are assholes about everything. Shedding some light on the film crew people (having a bf in film) they are also just some poor souls having to do their job. The guys tasked to lock of sets and manage noise levels are just mostly low rank people (runners). They get told to make sure its quiet and they get the kick in the butt if they dont manage to do that. Being told the other side of your story its a shit situation for both sides involved. Maybe we should all be a bit more understanding.
@@Stagixx TS, if you are in a public place you have no expectancy or right to complain about noise levels unless they are breaking noise disable limits. If the film crew need quiet they should be filming on a closed set then & not in puplic.
I can understand it was probably a scary situation, but it is hard to imagine not laughing in someone's face when they suggest you get loopers to edge a lawn... insane!
I had that happen to me once when I was like, 15. I was paid to do someone's lawn on a saturday, and apparently one of their neighbors had gone bar hopping the night before. they threatened to do the same thing, and I wasn't even halfway finished with my job yet. in a calm tone, I told them that I wasn't halfway done yet, and that it would take me at least another 45 minutes to an hour. I told them I was sorry, but me making money was more important than their poor decisions the night before. they kept talking, and eventually I got fed up as I was losing time and money on that situation, so, without hesitation, I looked them dead in the eye and asked "don't you have someone your own age to pick on? rather than a 15 year old who is just trying to make money?". that made them leave. I told the owner of the home, and dude went to the neighbor's house and chewed them out, came back, said to get him if he caused more trouble, and things went well for the rest of the day. I made like, $160 that day, despite the interruption.
You are so good with what you do. Keep up the good work. You have got to stop getting scared when someone says something to. Unless they pull a gun on you, you keep on keeping on! The police are on your side! Don’t be scared! Love your show!

Thanks for putting your location in your channel description. I like to know where people are and in some channels I have to try and read license plates to see what state we’re in. Great channel. I will subscribe right now.
I would have told him, "please do call the cops" and see if they fine him for making a frivolous complaint.
You handled that neighbour well, and thank you for doing this as there's always a need 😊
What time of day was that? Everybody is expected be puttering around their property by 8 AM at least. Having been a day sleeper for most of my life I never could complain about noise in the neighbourhood. Lawn care being one of them. Let him call the cops. They would have an issue if you were blasting music and carousing being a nuisance, but lawn care? Seriously? The cops would get a laugh I'm sure.
Another reason to turn nomad when I retire. Too old, poor and unfit to take care of a lawn to your standards for one, but if having a neighbour like that I can always move.
@@dallasarnold8615 Maybe should have offered to call the waaaa-mbulance for the guy...
I’m a police officer and I hate when neighbors use us for scare tactics. If I was called I would just tell you to call us if he came over and harassed you again. I would of told him to stay on his side of the fence and let you be. It’s not criminal to do yard work and help the citizens who need help. Thank you for what you do sir.
he's doing what any decent civic minded kind person would do.
@10-42 Gamer, first off, thanks for your service. Secondly, I just commented saying the cops can't and won't do anything to him.
The other guy on the other hand, 😂🤣 I'd call the cops on him if he came back out again and kept harassing me.
Thank you officer glad you live in this neighborhood, good to know you see him for what he is.
if anything they owner of the home could have been in trouble from the neighbors complaining they live next to an unkept lawn
@@dubemccready7438 where does it say he lives in the neighborhood?
I had a situation like this back in high school. I worked for a lawn care company. One afternoon we were mowing someone’s yard and the neighbor complained we were being “excessively loud” and called the cops on us. When the cop showed up he told us how nice the yard looked and asked if we could do his yard the next day😂
That’s awesome! 😂
Love it!!!
You mean they didn't show up to kill you indiscriminately because of your race?!? Wow. The Internet tells me that ALL cops are killers and are looking for a reason to kill.
Great job.
Blessings that’s for calling my clients
As a former police officer myself, I will tell you this. Do not ever worry about a jerk like that. There is no crime being committed by your doing yard work. BTW, If a crime would’ve been committed here it would be the neighbor harassing you! keep up the great work. I’m sure the sane people in these neighborhoods really appreciate you and all that you do. ❤
Not sure how it is in the US, but in my country, the only potential crime for doing this would be either tresspassing (assuming you do it without the home owner approval, something Spencer never does AFAIK), or doing it very early or very late (our country has a limit on noise before 7am and after 10pm).
I really don't see how someone could even think of threatening to call the cops for that, in the middle of the day. At most you could go ask nicely telling there's a lot of noise and trying to negotiate how to limit the nuisance, but threatening with the cops is just dumb.
@@daedalron In Canada and the USA we have harassment laws. That means, the neighbors can be charged for two things depending on which State (US) or Province (Canada) this is taking place; harassing a person and/or wasting taxpayers money on Police Services by calling in Police. In fact, in Canada, Police can now issue a ticket to cover "recover taxpayer money" for wasting their time in some areas. That could be up to like $5000 CAD.
It was kinda noisey but what time was it? After 10.30am is fine but early Sunday mornings a little inconsiderate and there are laws on noise pollution...the decibels were definately up there.
F the bully Karen neighbour threatening people with police however!!✌️✌️Nice job!!
GOD BLESS YOU Son. The neighbor had no business coming to you period for blessing that resident for doing what GOD LOVES, helping each other. I happy to see what the officers said about him harassing you.
@@daedalron That is EXACTLY how it is here in the US
Since when does a bully control your acts of kindness? God Bless You and your work.
He must be the block captain who runs the whole show.
Would the neighbor have complained if the owner of the house did the work and not someone that was doing a good deed? And why wouldn't he want the adjacent property to look nice? It's lunacy!
God seriously ?
@@mk84ldb 🤣
👍👍
As a former police officer myself, I just want echo what others have said. You are not the problem at all. That neighbor was completely out of line by threatening to call the police. He should have stayed in his house. Thank you for remaining calm and not turning that into something completely unnecessary and negative. Your help and the work you do is truly a godsend!!! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!!! Keep up the great work!!! I love watching the transformation you create.
Yeah, I woulda been negative lol
👍
❤
Exactly 💯!! I'd like to see the completely SILENT lawn mower and weed wacker that neighbor uses on his lawn BTW 😮😂🎉
You are a Blessing. Don’t get discouraged
Being in law enforcement, calls like this are one of our biggest annoyances. I would end up having a nice talk with the caller about waste of police resources, misuse of 911, and a crime called public menacing. Keep up the good work, young man!
Fines should be given out to callers wasting police’s time.
@@hagridlemonhead611 in some places there are actually, when my brother was little , like 3 or 4 years old, he dialed 911 and hung up the police showed up to my moms house and they told her they received a call and she said my brother called they told her if it happened again we would be fined for wasting the police time this was in Las Vegas
Totally Agree and To You n ALL of Our Public Service Hero's THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO TO HELP, PROTECT n KEEP US SAFE AS POSSIBLE❤🙏🙅♀️🙌
Would you even show up? Here in central Cali cops don’t show up for light stuff like this. Prob have more important stuff they’re on. Not bashing
@Jesus Bejar I definitely would, mainly because I've seen way too many "unnecessary calls" turn into assaults, stabbings, and worse. You just never know.
No cop is going to issue a ticket or arrest someone for doing yardwork in the middle of the day. Thats insane.
It's the power he fill his whiteness wields. The police are his weapon. They do his dirty work at his beckoned call, and after they gun you down, his hands are clean. Brown people don't think like that. It's a white privilege.
Well have you seen some of the shit they arrest people for? Nothing is below them imo
Could order a trespassing citation?
@@KevinA-ow3yv uh no as the owner of the house let him cut the yard
Look at the long shadows at the start. It's morning, and not any morning - the morning after the NFL finals match at the Superbowl. A LOT of usually early risers are taking that morning off to catch up after celebrations. Spencer is within the law - but really kinda insensitive to the specific day with the volume of his gear.
The guy who came to complain outed himself as an idiot (and an alcoholic). He was vulgar, classless and a jerk. THANK YOU for providing your mowing services to those who need them and sharing your work with the rest of us.
I'm a cop (5 years). You aren't doing anything you'd be in trouble for. If I got that call along with most cops I know would tell the guy there's nothing he can do about it and that you are 100% in the right. If it was a slow day I'd even stick around and support you :)
Keep up the good work!
SB is TOO nice!!! I'd say something to the effect of "Let me do you a favor, and call em myself." Then I wouldn't actually call them, just act like I am and say "I'm mowing some ladies lawn, and some guy is harassing me, saying I'm making too much noise... He seems intoxicated." Then hang up the call that never happened, and let him know he should probably scram cuz the feddys are on their way!
@@BeauMedasexactly what I said!!! I definitely wouldn’t have been as polite in my response to the hungover mouthy fool!
I bet if the camera wasn’t rolling he would’ve been a little more like “WTF do you want?” 😂
Nice!. thnaks
Even if he called the cops, there's nothing against the law in what you're doing. It's not too early in the morning nor too late at night. It's not overly loud. It's his own fault that he had a hangover. The cops would tell both you and him that you could keep doing what you were doing until you were finished with the job.
As a chronic migraine sufferer, I realize that part of the price of living in a neighborhood is common neighborhood sounds: kids playing, music blaring, airplanes flying, landscaping. If I wanted total silence, I’d move to the sticks. Thanks for all you do and God bless!
@anitamiller7960 Well yes but living with earplugs in your own home is kinda sad. You don't buy an expensive home to live with earplugs, you buy it to live in tranquility without earplugs.
@@biglittleboy9827 so how are we gonna live: everyone staying quiet and put for one person, or one person putting in earplugs? Above me live neighbours with little kids who constantly jump. A ceiling fell on me whilst asleep because of all the jumping throughout the years. Life is full of moments that we just have to live through.
Also people who have migraines absolutely must investigate them and make it their #1 priority.
@@biglittleboy9827move to the country. Problem solved.
I live in the country & depending on the weather & wind direction , often hear the neighbors mowing , etc. I just tell myself that it's good they keep their yards & homes so nice plus do extra mowing of the ditches & along the roadsides (even tho' it's the township's responsibility ) . All caring so much has created a sense of community on our road ! 🥰 Most add flowers around their mailboxes for accents of interest & color . 🌻🌹 A lovely middle class rural neighborhood !

As someone who suffers from migraines, I guarantee this jackass's headache wasn't actually that bad, because if it was, he'd be laying in bed in the dark, unable to move, with his blinds drawn and earplugs in. Keep doing you, man. Don't let this moron get you down.
Damn Skippy. Forgot walking outside in the sun. I can't even stand to see an LED clock when I'm having an attack.
Yes! This! I hate when people throw around the term "migraine" so loosely. I can't even get up off the bed to tell someone I have a migraine when I'm having one, let alone go outside in the bright sun and confront someone about noise. 🤢🤮
Yep. When he made the noise I knew he didn't have one. And he wasn't protecting his eyes from the sun.
Exactly. I've had migraines since I was 15. I'm 54 now. Sometimes they've lasted 4 days.
Exactly. Who has the energy to go outside when they have a bad headache or migraine. Let alone confront someone who's just doing there job. More like he was still drunk from the night before
It's people like him that make this world a terrible place. Thanks, for all you do and please don't let it get you down.

Calling the cops on something like this is equivalent to “I’m telling Mom!”
Keep up the great work, Spencer !!
Ya exactly 💯. Good comparison
Let him go and call the cops. There is nothing they are going to do. You are not breaking any laws. It's not your fault he has a hangover.
Right. Wah wah wah.

I don't know how it is in your state but where i live we have "quiet hours" between 8pm and 6am. After those hours i could just tell someone like that idiot to f off. Imagine that, threatening to call cops for mowing the lawn, what a joker. Anyway.. nice work, keep doing what you do - it's awesome.
I would've loved to hear that call to the local PD or 911.
"Hello, dispatch? There's a guy out here mowing lawns!"
"...yea?"
"Well he's making noise, and I got drunk!"
"...yea?"
"So I want a unit sent out here immediately."
"For...what?"
"Beacause he's making noise while I have a hangover!"
"Sir, I'm going to hang up now."

The neighbor who threatened to call police is an example of a person that others don't want to live next to in any neighborhood. What you are doing to help others is inspiring.
I used to live in a certain neighborhood for my whole life until we moved pretty far but I had a neighbor who everyone hated and wanted out of the neighborhood I lived straight infront of him and he literally was the type of person to stare at you from you're window if you're outside minding you're own business and other shit caused so much drama with the neighbors broke into people's houses destroyed people's property's, We believed he slit my sisters bike seek and slashed our pool... and he literally yelled at anyone for being on the sidewalk infront of his house, a PUBLIC sidewalk and he ended up getting evicted and then him and his wife trashed the building, I feel bad for the landlord and the officers who had to tell him to knock it off. I wouldn't be surprised if his (at the time) 6 and 3 year old grow up to be as bad as him or worse.
karen is his name
Preach, you didn't say a single thing that wasn't true.
Neighbors like that don't want anyone else's lawn looking better than their's. I bet if he offered to do his yard he'd STFU.
Owning a house in a neighborhood with a bunch of renters is not the same as when everyone owns their home.
It's always astonishing how miserable and pathetic some people are. Amazing work ethic. The world needs more like you!.
@@jeremylindsey94Unless he has super human hearing or his windows/doors are open then I can KIND OF understand. However, It is not his yard it’s his neighbor’s yard, it’s during the day so he’s not waking anyone up unless they do night shift, and it might be annoying sure but they have every right to clean/upkeep their yard.

You should encourage these people to call the cops. As a former cop myself, I would congratulate you on doing a great job on keeping the neighborhood clean and tidy and not to mention, even keeping the value of his property high by having his neighbors yards kept in good order. Well done... Great job!
Yes, my thoughts exactly. No, it isn't any fun when you don't feel well and there is some kind of noisy work going on. As a Stage 4 cancer patient, I have much room to speak. BUT... It is not only totally lawful to do yard and various kinds of home improvement during the daytime, but it helps keep the value of the neighborhood up!
@@TedNewkirk I'm really sorry to hear you are going through a bad time. My prayers are with you. ❤
By helping this person, you are helping the whole neighborhood, and maybe preventing crime. Crooks look for under kepted property as an easy mark for a break-in, thinking it belongs to older people, or vacant. The police would not bother a person doing yard work, and might tell the Karen, if he starts any trouble that more than likely he will be the one getting into trouble.
❤️
@@TedNewkirk Just have noise cancelling headphones.
Don't ever get discouraged by people like this. You are doing a great job and making a difference. You handled the situation so well and calm. Well done.
Also most city council rules regarding noise allow for such daytime activities. So that nasty neighbour could easily risk arrest or a fine for wasting police time.
Not handled well …
It clearly shook him up … this guy does awesome work and needs to realize that people ain’t sh!$. I would have ignored and cranked up my weed wacker in front of him in a semi sarcastic manner … and watch him freak out and lose his mind … people like this need to realize that the source of their rage and frustration is themselves and no one else but if you let these Karens boss you around your just empowering them
Handled it way better than I would have 😂😂
@@andrescardenas2827 kudos to him for avoiding the conflict though, I agree with you I would have gone out of my way to piss the guy off more 😂
You are too kind. I would have laughed out loud and encouraged him to go ahead and call. Speaking as a retired police officer I can tell you they will do NOTHING but tell him to go back inside and get over himself. LOL
Honestly, I would have instantly replied, “Don’t wait 10 minutes; call now.” And then I would have went on minding my business.
@Aussie Pom speaking as a retired police officer, no, they would not charge him. Nobody's wasting the court's time with that. There's no charge. It wouldn't hold water. What I can tell you is that it would likely be an extremely long response time, to the point that by the time we arrived, Spencer would be done. Either by answering considerably more serious calls first or finishing our very long breakfast. Very, very long. On the other hand, if you have a good enough dispatcher, they would talk the guy out of a response indicating that there's really no complaint that the police can adjust.
I am a retired State Trooper and one night I received a call about a guy mowing his lawn at 1:00 AM in a house trailer subdivision. When I arrived he was mowing on a riding mower with lights and had about 2 more swipes to make. He said his neighbors kept complaining about his long grass, and he told them he was going to cut it the following Saturday when he was off from work, that he had been working a lot of overtime. When he came in from work around 11:00 PM his wife told him a couple of more neighbors complained so he decided to take care of the problem. I just kind of laughed and told him not to mow at 1:00 AM anymore. He said that he thought by doing it at 1:00 AM it might shut them up and that he is still going to mow the yard again on Saturday.
@@johnflechler263 That´s hilarious! lol

In that case I might have taken out my phone and said, "let me call the police on your behalf. I'll be glad to talk to them for you". Some people! Good work Spencer.

Unfortunately for her, after a number of such "requests" I just started listening to music 24/7. And my tastes did not align with her tastes. 😄
That guy was a massive tool. You were there during the day, when there’s no noise ordinance. His headaches don’t get to dictate when people can have their landscaping done. You handled it very well.

watch youtube more then u will find many such complain especially from the great county of America..where u will find many weird n funny things to be complain and called the police.
Alternative reaction, which I experienced once in France in vacation:
the police was called, they came around and after listening to the _anger_ of the caller, they told *him* they can take him to their office, after asking the gardener, how long it will take to finish his work, to bring the caller back home, afterwards.
The caller was ... how, should I say? ... very mad to the police officers, by verbally abused them, who arrested him as a result.
I don't know how it is in the USA, but anyone who insults a police officer in many European countries, risks 2 years in prison plus an additional hefty fine.
Even gestures like the middle-finger or else, are recognized as insults.
@@Freddy2TakeOffYeah, France totally isn’t an authoritarian police state or anything. While I like the sentiment of the story that the heckler caller who was causing problems got what he deserved, any country who makes it a prison worthy crime to flip off a public servant are tyrannical in nature. The riots in France going on now and for the last month are quietly being suppressed by the French state, and I applaud the French people for historically not being afraid to bring the axe down on their leaders if they aren’t serving their countrymen. Of course this tangent wasn’t directed at you, I just find it ridiculous that other citizens of western 1st world country’s aren’t truly free.

My husband and neighbor across the street both traded off mowing the yard of the elderly woman next door for about 20 years. Hardly a word was spoken between them about it. If one of them was mowing and her yard needed it, they just quietly did it. She always had a can of soda and a couple cookies for them. ❤
The small spirited people who complain about such noise during non- curfew hours, especially when it’s a benefit to the entire street, are the last ones who’d ever help out.
That is wonderful. I'm pretty sure that's how God intends us to treat one another.
Great job!
Exactly. That's what I said. Maybe if he helped out where needed then he wouldn't be bothered with the extra noise next time. Aaand get to look like a good guy instead of a d$#^

He probably called and was told by the dispatcher there is nothing they can do about noise during daylight hours.
Honestly. He's been authorized to do the work by the homeowner. The neighbors have no say. And this was a Monday morning so most of the working class would be at work anyway
I was thinkin the same thing!!!!!!
@Dry Water yeah exactly. Monday morning is working time for most people.
Freaking lawn has not been mowed in months and the single day it is finally being done the d-bag neighbor cries about it like a prototypical Karen?

The old saying no good deed goes unpunished, I can't stand people like that, your helping people and just because of a little noise they think they can waste police resources, keep up the great content Spencer your doing great work
If the dude had called the cops, and the cops had shown up... They would most likely have just had a chat with you about how cool it is the fact that you fix people's gardens and do it all for free. The cops would probably be amazed by the work you do and complimented you on it. And the dude who called them should have feld ashamed for calling the cops and wasting the time of a valuable security resource that most likely could have been used elsewhere where real crime had taken place. Keep on doing what you are doing! You are doing amazing work!
I applaud you sir, I’m a cop in Wisconsin and we get complaints like this all the time from older folks who live in the suburbs and we tell them they are making the town look presentable and to stop harassing them for ensuring their yard looks nice. Awesome work keep it up!
I had a deal as a young man a long time ago. I was doing a loop around a couple blocks on my bike training for a bike race. This old lady would come out and stare with arms folded. Then, the cops pulled up at her house. I knew she frivoluosly called the cops, so I took off down a bike path the cops came rushing down the BIKE PATH in their car to "get" me. I gave them a piece of my mind for doing the old lady's bidding and endangering me, and that I did nothing wrong at all
We had cop called on us forth of July one time party and we moved our tree the cops came to hurry up real quick are we going to fire department calls on this three times for him to fire one lady called and said we were burning the whole neighborhood down but that wasn't true
I wanted to say thank you for keeping us safe every single day and I pray for you and your family come home safe

Noise during daylight hours is not against any noise ordinance that I am aware. Love what you do. I find these videos very relaxing.
That man should apprechiate his neighbor cleaning up his yard. Not threaten to call the police on the landscaper. What an entitled buffoon.
While the neighbor went too far, there is a noise ordinance for day also. Just because it's not night doesn't mean you can make all the noise you want. After all the neighbor should know that he was doing a job.

Exactly what I was thinking!
He was probably jealous his neighbor was getting free yard work lol
My thoughts exactly. The neighbors that complain usually are the more sensitives ones that quote the Law they happily break daily. They seem to think they are the 'exception'. I also use power tools and would go to this person's yard and do his lawn IF they were to come at me like this since he seems to love them so much!
What do you want to bet he has a running feud with this neighbor and was hoping to confront them about the noise. Probably even madder now that he hasn't gotten into a fight.
Assuming after 7am on a Monday morning per most city noise ordinances (you mentioned day after Superbowl Sunday), I can only guess he was staying at a buddies house in the RV across the street OR he called into work sick lol.
Thank you for not letting the bully get you down, and for finishing what you started for the homeowner. I'm sure they appreciated it. Looked great!
I have a tip because this has happened to our business a few times during the busy times of the year and the neighbours thought we were up to something shady. Call the police first. Inform them you are doing your job and a neighbour has threatened to call them. This way they can either disregard the neighbour when he does call or they will be aware of the situation if they show up and tell the neighbour to flock off. Communicating with the police has always worked out well for us and we don't have these types of problems anymore.
I have done this several times, when working on houses in different areas. It saves time and problems.
My brother runs a lawn care company. He could write a book about the crazy neighbors complaining about the sound of equipment, the grass being blown onto the sidewalk, and even wheel tracks. It's nuts.
Excellent advice
Don't take it to heart, that miserable bag of worms is mad at the world because he just found out that his husband has been cheating on him, with his best friend, and he decided to take his frustrations out on you.

Especially when it's apparently the guy's own fault for being a drunk over football. If he can't control his drinking, then taking it out on a lawn worker is the wrong response. HE is at fault. HE drank and got hung over.

How much would it put you out to ask if you can mow every other week or so to help out a neighbor and "protect" the property values at the same time? Not much. But the neighborly thing to do is to be mean and callous to the poor person. (My thought is they want their yard done for free too when they find out what he's doing.)

I'm a night worker, do I sleep during the day. I understand being annoyed at these sounds, but MOST people work during the day. Buy sound-cancelling headphones if you suffer from headaches. I use them for sleep, and they are amazing. This person is doing a great service -- thank you for being kind!!
I also work overnights and sleep during the day. I live in a town home and they were doing work on the roof for a solid 2 weeks... I dont have noise canceling headphones. I didnt get a lot of asleep for those 2 weeks haha
Ear plugs.
i get the guys suffering too, he needs earbuds or sound canceling headphones.
I work at night as well and it’s irrational to be mad at someone making noise during the day, like yard work. Most of the world functions during the day, and while I find it annoying if it were to happen to me (and it has), threatening to call the cops is a scare tactic that is shameful and pitiful. Keep up the great work, you’re inspiring. 🧡🧡
We suffer from migraines but that is no one’s fault so I would not take it out on someone just because I have a migraine or because I was an idiot that decided to get drunk and was hungover the next day. The day is to work and I cannot tell my neighbors not to do it during the day because that might be the only chance they have .
You have no reason to be afraid of some random bully who thinks his needs supersede everyone else’s. You’re doing nothing wrong. On the contrary, you’re doing right. Keep up the great work!
The guy reminded me of someone still in high school. Poor guy has a hang over. He probably sits watching sports all day with a beer in his hand. He probably relives his football days and wears his letter jacket. Go sleep off your hangover dude
Insecure guy pulls out the gun
I beg to differ. The bully who thinks his needs supersede those of others is the chainsaw mower, who actually has no personal need at all to cut someone else's grass in a neighborhood that is not his own, in complete inconsideration of the people of that neighborhood. The one man who confronted the do-gooder chainsaw-machine bully is not thinking of his own needs, since he is not the only one living there and disrupted by that noise. Moral of the story: leave the grass of other people in other neighborhoods alone. It is none of your business.
@@timhuson4800 He was doing a decent thing. Are you insinuating that landscapers may no longer use power tools in the middle of the day? I used to work nights and slept during the day. But I would never think of telling landscapers they could not do their jobs because they were annoying. This kid was doing a good deed and you’re calling him a bully? You need to redirect your priorities buddy.
@@bluesdog645 The situation is nuanced. First of all, what they did was not selfless altruism. They planned to turn it into a video that paid royally. So let's quit with the their merely helping out. I do think the guy was rude in how he approached the mower guy. But some consideration should be given to noise issues, and for the mower guy to pretend complete innocence is what I was reacting to. What if he had said something different: "We need to get this done quickly, not just to avoid the cops, but because we are decent people who won't want to pierce off people in the neighborhood.
Yes, there are non-power tools to use for trimming. If I lived in a city, I'd use one out of consideration for my neighbors, and also to get some exercise. This was how everyone did it until the 1970s and 80s, when ever new electronic gadgets were invented to use more fossil produce more waste. If one were really volunteering free labor anyway, then why not add a bit more free labor and not disrupt the neighbors.
No, I would not have done what the neighbor did, and certainly not in his style. But the content, if not the manner, of what he conveyed could have been taken by the mower guy as a lesson on how to get along while also helping. Instead he pretended to be blameless and self-righteous, and that is why I responded the way I did.
I only have one thing to say to this young man who helps people with their overgrown lawns. Never change who you are. This world needs more people like you.💛
I doubt he would be cutting overgrown lawns if he wasn't making thousands of dollars on youtube videos. I hesitate to encourage people to do things because they can make money on youtube unless you're ready to start appearing in other people's videos when out in public.
@@Lafue108 of course he wouldn’t do it for free it’s hard work the money from RUclips let’s him do this for people without making them pay for it and he’s not doing it for free he’s doing it for as you said the thousands he makes on RUclips what are you even saying in the last part of your comment? Besides he could make plenty more money doing other stuff on RUclips because he’s clearly good at it so this is obviously something he enjoys and it’s awesome to be able to do it for free and get your revenue source from YT
@@Lafue108 well obviously the money comes from somewhere. Does not change the fact that he is helping people out in the community with his time. He could still charge a small fee, then still have an awesome before and after video.
@@Rayslote01I dont think you understand how much 5-10M views on youtube pays. It's not like a few bucks to cover bare operating costs, and the real benefiter is the youtuber. Being a saint would be paying the people with overgrown lawns a large portion of the youtube income, from videos you took of their property, to help them through tough times.
@@Lafue108 still doesn't change the fact that he does for no cost to them. Did you watch the video? Did you see what he did? It's not a simple mow and trim job on a regular yard. He edges and cleaned the cracks, cleaned the curb and drainage areas. Then he mowed, trimmed, and blew off an overgrown yard, for no cost to them. That's not a small job to do. You know how much that would have cost those people to have a regular lawn crew do all that? I hope he keeps doing this.
I love how many police officers watch mowing videos! :) It is great, to see you all support guys who are only trying to help others, make their homes more presentable!
There are some really mean people out in the world when there needs to be more kindness.
You are an upstanding young man and I admire you
Sometimes meanness needs to be dealt with by being meaner. There's an old saying, when kindness and care fail, brute force always wins. There's zero reason to be nice to that douche.
@@darinvierth1679 what about if the dude comes out with a gun and causes some trauma exp? I hear theres kinda lots of nutjobs like that in the USA
@@bizzhat so.. I've had guns pulled on me twice. 99.9% of people that do that don't have the balls to use it. It's their way of being "tough". But if that's a worry then there is a VERY simple way to combat it. Get your conceal carry license. The very simple fact is that people are afraid to stand up to people being assholes.
Fools mistake kindness for weakness. Fools just expose how foolish they are. (A fool is wise in his own eyes.)
The dude ranting at him has TDS.
Sadly, haters choose to hate. You're doing something wonderful for the homeowners who must be struggling in some way to not be able to tend their yards. You're helping the whole neighborhood and hopefully starting a ripple affect of more kindness!
I'm genuinely sorry you were treated this way by this idiotic "man". Every neighborhood has one just like him. You handled it well and showed your character. I'm genuinely impressed.
I'm willing to bet the neighbor was an actor to clickbait you into more youtube views.
It’s fake for views
That is some hard work. Well done Sir!
Man I love neighbors like this. My favorite phrase is "sounds like a personal problem to me." Or "I'll call them for ya right now". Works everytime.
I was just going to comment the same thing when I had my lawn care business I had someone do the same thing and I just dragged my feet and took that much longer just to tick them off
@@matthewedwards6613 That's what I was thinking. "Well, looks like this will be an all day job with the loudest pieces of equipment I have."
I'm guessing he lives downstairs at his parents house. LOL
I agree 10000%
Unless your neighbors a Cop. Lol
That was horrible for the neighbor to threaten you like that. I'm sorry you had to experience that. Happy you are safe and sound. Thank you for helping others in need. Bless you, Spencer.😊👍
Can you imagine the phone call to the police?
"Hello there's someone mowing their lawn during the day, can you stop that?"
The police wouldn't be able to stop laughing.
Guy: “You have 10 min”
Spencer: * continues to make noise for another hour or 2 *
Lmao! I love it 😂😂🤍
Also love your videos! Satisfies my OCD and relaxes my nerves a lot☺️👍🏽
Lmao yesss! Call me petty patty but I would of purposely taken as long as I could, maybe even a couple drink or snack breaks while I left my mower running 😂 🤷♀️
I would have taken my time and I would have done the back yard too
Todavía que hacen esto sin cobrar nada y se ponen sus moños , gracias joven hacer esto 🙏🏻
Screw that guy. Cops won't do anything as long as you have owners permission. This happened to me and the lawn company I worked for many times. But it is aggravating just dealing with something stupid like that. Love the work you do!
I would just love to see their faces when cops disregard their complaint. What an id
@@JohnSmith-yw3jr It's a great opportunity for the cops to get their ID fix!!
Agreed... I know exactly how you feel. I've had my share of Karens approach me for the same reason. I have found that when this issue arises, I watch Karen walk toward me, and he/she starts flapping the lips. #1. I continue my work. #2. I look at Karen and say quickly, talk to the owner, and continue the work. If you can remember one thought? That is when you say, "talk to the owner." It is important that you don't forget to smile! That really cranks the Karens up!
should make him cut his own yard with scisors and a blow dryer.
❤️
What a gem he was. For doing yard work. Don't let people like that dim your light. Keep shining!!!
Thanks for the work you do. Thanks to the Leos that responded about the crazy neighbor and other self centered bullies like him. Awful neighbor: turn your anger into something peaceful and that will help others. Let this be your season of positive change.
Imagine being an irresponsible adult telling a younger RESPONSIBLE person to be quieter because you're hungover. 😂
Exactly! Very well put.
Poor baby had too much beer and nachos.. his bloated belly don't like noise. Love this landscaping kid
Exactly! The audacity! The nerve! Dude’s out there doing backbreaking work and improving your neighborhood and you come rolling out like some pig full of lethargy and threats. Some folks need a punch in the mouth.
@@jamie.777 🤣👍
🤦🏻♂️some ppl now days
In Australia we tell these types of 'entitled' people to 'get stuffed'. You're not breaking any law mate. That wanker next door is by abusing you. Love your work mate!!! From Adelaide Australia 👍🤗🇭🇲
💚💛🦘🐨🇦🇺
Yeah well said you should of said get stuffed mate❤❤ I’m from Australia too
That is us Australians for you 👍👍🤛🤛
Bravo good job like always ❤❤❤😊😊
“Get stuffed!” Haven’t heard that since Mr Mash told that to Mr Rumbold on that very old tv show called “Are you being served”.
Who, with half a brain, would walk over to someone doing LAWN WORK in broad daylight….. who is clearly with a professional yard business…… and tell them they’re too noisy and you’re calling the calls….. get out of here! Keep doing what you’re doing!!!! ❤
Yeah, I would've said "go for it, I can't wait to see what they say" 😂
Hate when people threaten to call the calls
@@ChrisKellyPrimeForreal they would just be mad at the neighbor for wasting their time
Karens, these fascist are a real problem if you let it keep growing America.
he could be a shift worker? sleeps during the day so you can live you life completely entitled
The neighbors comments and the fact that the gentleman had not offered to help his neighbor says a lot about him. The comments from members of law enforcement below and your helping strangers out are heartwarming
I am shocked that someone would call the police bc of grass being cut. If anything, he should be happy you stopped to help his neighbor, something he could've done. But please, don't stop what you do. I randomly saw this video and I appreciate what you're doing
Given the way the neighbor reacted here i doubt that the thought of helping any of his neighbors has ever entered his mind at all.
I grew up with a neighbor that lived across the street from me, that called the cops on me many times. Once saying that I drove a car all over her yard and destroyed it, doing thousands in damages. Well, the cop showed up, asked me my name, then asked me which of the 4 cars in my driveway that I used to destroy this person's yard. I answered none, and I was only 13, and the only car I was driving was my RC car that I raced. The cop started laughing when all I said was I went onto her driveway to allow my neighbor to drive by. I also had the cops called on me by the same person because the wind carried some grass clippings into her yard while I was mowing the house that was next to them. Cops showed up and once they saw what was going on, ended up going to her house and reprimanded her.
She was also known to go out with scissors and a ruler, and trim the grass edges along her driveway. I think in the 20 years I lived there, she called the cops on me maybe 50 times. I am being very conservative with the number, for I feel it was close to double that. Granted, she only started calling the cops on me when I was around 12, and never for anything that I probably should have had them called on me, just always for stupid things. Her husband was a very nice guy, and I couldn't see what he saw her.
This is America now. And then the assisns roll in hard like in a war zone or something. Not a good tool to use for every instance. Only some.
Agree
@@jenksify agree
If this was in my neighborhood, I’d be grateful that someone like you was making the yard look great. Thanks for what you do! ❤
There’s alway one miserable person that doesn’t like himself and takes it out on others.
I agree 100%
I do mow lawns in my neighborhood for free now and then, it doesn't take me much, I have a large rider, ( I'm a regular homeowner not a lawn guy ) some of the yards are not easy for people bc they are older folks, takes me 15 minutes to cut and then it's all good
First time he got dressed all day, just come over and stop somebody from doing honest work. Let's just hope he didn't spawn.
I did landscape maintenance for 17 years and only once did I have a tool like that idiot ever come out. You did a great job in handling it. Work looks great, I wish more landscapers would offer services like this to help communities. God knows there are many more like this out there.
well he makes the money off of RUclips so he doesn’t need to be directly paid by them
@@Trevorus1 what's your point?
Great work and dont let those type of people intimidate you keep it up.
You do a valuable service for people like me who had a horrible injury at work. Disabled people appreciate your time effort and kindness.
You were raised well. Thanx for what you do
I had an employee that got yelled at by a Film Crew Karen here in Atlanta. He ignored her and took his time, which is exactly how you help people who suffer from egocentrism.
🔥😎🔥
not saying this dude wasnt an idiot for complaining about someone doing his job and some people are assholes about everything. Shedding some light on the film crew people (having a bf in film) they are also just some poor souls having to do their job. The guys tasked to lock of sets and manage noise levels are just mostly low rank people (runners). They get told to make sure its quiet and they get the kick in the butt if they dont manage to do that. Being told the other side of your story its a shit situation for both sides involved. Maybe we should all be a bit more understanding.
@@Stagixx TS, if you are in a public place you have no expectancy or right to complain about noise levels unless they are breaking noise disable limits. If the film crew need quiet they should be filming on a closed set then & not in puplic.
"for a hundred bucks I'll come back after lunch"
@@Stagixx This aint a film set tho.. & ur hangover doesn’t mean shit to other. let the guy do his nice deed
I can understand it was probably a scary situation, but it is hard to imagine not laughing in someone's face when they suggest you get loopers to edge a lawn... insane!
Agreed; though it could make for an interesting video. LOL
I had that happen to me once when I was like, 15. I was paid to do someone's lawn on a saturday, and apparently one of their neighbors had gone bar hopping the night before. they threatened to do the same thing, and I wasn't even halfway finished with my job yet. in a calm tone, I told them that I wasn't halfway done yet, and that it would take me at least another 45 minutes to an hour. I told them I was sorry, but me making money was more important than their poor decisions the night before. they kept talking, and eventually I got fed up as I was losing time and money on that situation, so, without hesitation, I looked them dead in the eye and asked "don't you have someone your own age to pick on? rather than a 15 year old who is just trying to make money?". that made them leave. I told the owner of the home, and dude went to the neighbor's house and chewed them out, came back, said to get him if he caused more trouble, and things went well for the rest of the day. I made like, $160 that day, despite the interruption.
Some people want to take there own problem and take it out on others
I would be like “that’s crazy. I’m exhausted too. From being productive. And yet here I am. And here you are
@@artymunoz5060 lmfao that's awesome.
Take a bow!!! Excellent way to handle it!! ❤
$160?????? Fam whos ur neighbour ill gladly mow his lawn
You are so good with what you do. Keep up the good work. You have got to stop getting scared when someone says something to. Unless they pull a gun on you, you keep on keeping on! The police are on your side! Don’t be scared! Love your show!
