Neighbours at war! Watch the INSANE moment they spray each other with a hose and start kicking over a brick wall
- Replies 7
We’ve all had disagreements with our neighbours before. Maybe they’re too loud, or maybe they don’t take care of their yard as we do.
But usually, these disagreements don’t escalate to the level of utter chaos like what happened with two next-door neighbours in Sydney.
According to a report, the incident started when a woman named Valentina on the content-sharing platform TikTok hired some tradies to build a small brick wall on her side of the driveway.
She did this to create more separation between her property and that of her feuding neighbours.
However, it didn’t take long for things to go south. The neighbour was caught on camera trying to stop the tradies from building the wall by using a broom and hose to sweep running water along the wall in an attempt to stop the mortar from setting.
Meanwhile, his wife could be seen at the side of the video also filming the tensions with her phone.
One of the tradies could be heard repeatedly saying ‘Move the water!’ to the male neighbour, but to no avail.
Of course, Valentina wasn’t having any of it. ‘You're ruining the wall!’ she shouted at him.
Increasingly fed up, the tradie, who was earlier trying his best to get the troublesome neighbour to stop, grabbed the hose. This led to a tug-of-war between them as water sprayed everywhere – and things quickly got out of hand from there!

The angry neighbour was then seen kicking over part of the wall that had already been built, causing several bricks to smash onto the ground. Meanwhile, his wife stood by filming and shouting orders at him.
At this point, Valentina could be heard yelling: ‘You are sick! Get to the hospital!’
‘Are you going to pay for that?!’, she added, pointing to the now ruined brick wall.
Even the tradies lost their cool at this point, airing their frustrations to the neighbours at their apparent daily interference in their work, and even demanding that they pay for their damages.
According to Valentina, her relations with her neighbours had been bad for some time before the incident was caught on video.
The video has been viewed for an astounding 7.8 million times, with over 350,000 hearts (likes) and almost 12,000 comments.
In classic social media fashion, many went to the comments section to share their thoughts.
Most were surprised at Valentina’s restraint, saying they definitely would have become physical at the very least.
‘My temper could never, I’d have absolutely laid hands on someone,’ a user said.
Others gave the benefit of the doubt, saying maybe the brick wall was already on the neighbours’ land, to which Valentina responded: ‘The brick wall is definitely not on their land.’
One wrote: ‘Just saying, there are always two sides to a story. I’ll bet any money they’re both as bad as each other.’
And in true Aussie fashion, more than one user also focussed on the water wasted in the video, with the hose turned on the entire four minutes of the clip.
Valentina also opted to give further context in a later post.
‘For everyone asking, long story short, there have been ongoing issues with these neighbours for a while now,’ she wrote.
She then explained that the neighbours have called the police and the town council on them multiple times, and with the authorities siding with them each instance.
‘They have done all sorts of weird s*** to provoke us,’ Valentina added, claiming that the neighbours had trespassed in the middle of the night and had recorded videos of their house AND of their two-year-old child.
She also had a quick explainer of the viral brick wall incident, clarifying that the wall was being built on their land and that their work was done with approval.
In case you’re also wondering, Valentina shared that she called the police on the couple but no arrests were made.
According to the officials, she said, malicious property damage would not apply ‘because the wall wasn’t set’.

We’re not new to nasty neighbour encounters, but certainly this one would be among the more violent encounters we’ve come across.
Speaking of unpleasant encounters of the neighbour kind, check out the story of one resident that woke up to a note from a frustrated neighbour over his power tool use, as well as this birthday boy who received a nasty letter from a neighbour upset over a party he threw.
So, what do you think of this story? How would you have behaved in this situation had you been in Valentina’s place — or the neighbours’?
