The work you did get done looks nice even though not finished. Just by cleaning the curbside at least the water can flow as intended by design. Not going to lie, that old codger was mean. ♥️👍

I agree 100%! This was a good video for me to watch as I become so frustrated seeing areas in my neighborhood that aren't being maintained, and some are vacant lots. Now I can understand why some areas aren't cleaned up by helpful people. In the past I have cleaned up some little areas in my neighborhood (no equipment, just pulling weeds or cleaning up trash) and I have been so nervous doing it - afraid someone will do something.

I tend to agree with you this man is mentally ill.

VET. Even

Bought on by himself!! Recreational drugs no doubt!! Self inflicted, no sympathy!! Drain on society. 🇬🇧🖕

Thank you. Maybe he’ll wake up tomorrow and be pleased with it!

It's probably more than dementia. Not trying to be disagreeable. It's the terrorist comment that makes me think he is psychotic.

@TopNotchLawns Quite sure you’re right about this one. Schizophrenia is a nasty disease. A simple call to the Non-Emergency Line Police to have an Officer come out to settle this dispute with a Vacant Lot. Just Bad Luck encounter. Go back and ask the Neighbour that was trimming her Lawn across the street what was up perhaps.

I agree I think he has dementia they do in some ppl get quite angry. No you weren't in the wrong I know you don't want to cause problems, you could have called the city to see who owns the lot.

You did nothing wrong. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure that he’s struggling with a mental illness. I’m so sorry that that happened to you.

He was definitely a shitty old drunk.

Thank you for your service of 32 years.

Very nice comment. I just had to tell you that one of our dogs had a knickname of Dingus. 😊

Do you know if he would get any sort of care of he just called the cops and explained he was trying to do a community service and this guy was harassing him? Or was the best thing he could do there just leave since he wasn't authorized by the city or property owner to do it?

He is clearly a shitty old drunk!

When he told you to leave when you had everything packed up and were in the street he was wrong. You can go back and get pictures from the street or sidewalk. They are public. I understand the old man in that I don't like other people to try to help unless I ask for it. They often don't understand how I want things. I guess that I have been around so many disabled people that I know some are grateful for help and some are offended. You never know.

The edger pissed him over the edge.

LOL!​@@hoppes9658

I am 67 years of age and have a home with a huge backyard that always needs work to be done. I would love to have someone help me like this! This man who was yelling at this man seriously has some serious mental issues.

He's not crazy. He just doesn't want a stranger deciding to mow his yard without even asking. Maybe he likes his plants how they are.

He will go back to his lonely life aches and pains waiting for the end. He had for a moment some 'youthful power'. Now he is stood alone shaking. Pointless! :/ 🥺😦😧😞😓😩 He may have owned it or thought he was a chancer trying to con him into buying lawncare? Once on the street though thats a public place so nothing he can do actually! :/

He wasn't disturbed he was a shitty old drunk

Thank you Jennifer 😊👋

@@TopNotchLawns You're very welcome!

Cuckoo!

No he didn't. He ran like a coward and didn't even call the cops to report him. Nobody can help the old man if they do nothing. Get to safety and then phone the cops. Shame on him. How is he going to protect his family? Unbelievable!

@@ItsTheTruthLady Report him for what exactly? He didn't threaten him or show any weapons that I'm aware of.

The poor neighbours having to suffer that.

I am very sorry you are hurt ,and yes go and hug your family, I am sure there is a lot of us would hug you if we could.❤❤❤❤❤❤

He isn't sick, he is a shitty old drunk!

What did Michael Caine (as Alfred Pennyworth) say about the Joker? Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Maybe ignore him y let him win

do your job dont let that sick person boss you around...

Agree my mother was like this in the early stages

Nah, he just didn't like the noise he was making. Straight up tell the old coot to get lost.

He doesn’t have dementia, he is a crackhead. Dementia doesn’t give you crack mouth.

He doesn't have dementia he is a shitty old drunk.

Probably!! 👍👍👋

Yep... Mr. Reinglass (from my childhood)

when I was younger I had a neigbor who was a wee bit senile, she once called the cops cause a small amount of grass was growing through the fence lol. Cops did nothing at all. But she would be nice on other days like pay you a ton to mow her small yard, or give you money to keep her company because she was lonely, or help bring in groceries. Like she was nice sometimes but other days she would be mad about grass

Ditto

we call them magas

Amen

He isn't just angry, he is a shitty old drunk!

That's a really good idea.

Excellent idea

Dementia my ass. He’s just an asshole! Stop thinking all assholes have dementia and let them off the hook. Show me a diagnosis of dementia and I’ll believe it

My dad had dementia and he sure as heck never ever acted like that. He stayed his sweet self to the end. However that guy could have it and was never ever a pleasant person to start with. 🤷‍♀️

@@mimistans7715 violent outbursts are fairly normal in Alzheimer’s and dementia. It’s one of the worst parts of the disease for family . Their formerly kind and loving family member becomes violent in actions and words

…’i don’t give a RATS ASS!!! Get the HELL OUT’!!!!….Etc….

I bet he’s alone and deserves to be. A very toxic human.

I agree Brian shows respect to everyone he encounters and this older man was just completely ignorant

Don't worry, it's fake. They're both in on it. That's how ya get views.

If he didn’t own it he should get lost!

@@refugeinc.159I do believe that old bastard is an A-Hole…

​@@pepepingu9842he's lucky he ran into a nice guy instead of someone with a heater and gives no fucks.

Lol 😆 Thanks! Just glad yelling was the only thing involved!

@@TopNotchLawns I totally agree. He could have easily taken out a gun.

I don’t think it’s dementia. I have family members with dementia and while there are different types of dementia, I’ve never seen anyone quit that extreme.

@@penlen4731an abusive man and it’s at least possible if not likely that he will hurt someone at some point

@@penlen4731 Agreed, I have seen many forms of dementia i family and friends , that man is just bad tempered.

Thanks so much! Blessings to you! 😊😊👋

Someone like that does not need to be wandering the streets (unattended). Especially with kids in the neighborhood.

Call police

@@racerx009 Lucky he wasn't wandering the streets and was on his property, attending to a trespasser, So of course the owner is a villain for no other reason than a couch Karen thinks his property is open range. Or did you mean the youtuber ?

@@UseByDate-Expired It wasn't his property, it was an empty lot.

Whatever he may have done next, he would have done it to a trespasser.

????

@@UseByDate-Expired No he wouldn't have. The guy mowing the lawn wasn't trespassing. Nor does that justify taking any kind of harmful action.

He's lucky it wasn't a castle state, these youtube jokers are going to get themselves hurt or worse, just for views

Regardless. You cant help everybody. Even if your Heart wants to. Good Job

@@afungusamungus2860 What is a "castle" state?

@@afungusamungus2860 be quiet. what are you talking about?? 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

​@@gerryhemmer1573 "You're on my property I think you're a threat I shoot." Basically. I dunno what the Internet tough guy is going on about

Blessing Boys twice. Not so bad as this guy though, he was pretty scary!

All of this youtube lawn care for likes and subscribes is getting out of hand. Theres hundreds of them now. There will be one one day whose intention won't be just to clean up a lawn. Further, you have the right to clean up public land, but even then not really. If you don't get permission DON'T DO IT!

@@karenharrison885 first, Brian asked around to the neighbors before starting the cleanup. It’s not his fault that this ONE neighbor didn’t like him cleaning up the land. All of the lawn care videos I watch, they ALWAYS reach out to the neighbors, the landlords or the city before they do their work. Second, in no way, shape or form do any of the lawn care guys and gals do there work for likes and comments! There are sooo many people out there who can’t afford the lawn care or are disabled or don’t have the equipment to do their own lawn. Everyone, especially Brian, do this work from their heart. They do the work because they enjoy it and they want to help people in the area! I watch their videos mostly to calm my brain after a long day at work. And I know most other people do too or they watch for tips on how to take care of their own lawns. Again, brian, keep up the good work!

The old man doesn’t answer for the City, actually should have been reported. The City should appreciate. Least they need to be made aware of the incident.

Consult with the municipality about cleaning up abandoned lots and get their support for those unsupported folks. Watching your work is mesmerizing and calming. Doing a good job has more than one rewarding benefit, even if vicariously. STAY SAFE!

He is a shitty old drunk!

Witness what. Ate. You teorzjg. The. Hood. Nothing

Right! I really wish people would start giving it back to them two-fold though instead of bowing out and leaving when harassed by said miserable sacks of sheit.

That's exactly the way a cop would would look at anybody with their hands n their pockets. It don't mater; if he ain't pulled a gun and pointed at it you, there is no law that says you can't keep your hands in your pockets. Officer safety my ass.

Good job mate

@@Clyde14thCouch critic.

@@cynthiakritika5047 He may be a couch critic but it is not against the law to have your hands in your pocket. Officer safety is cowardness...Public safety is heroism. Is your husband a copper?

@@ledwallet1944 Are you such a Neanderthal that you think only men can be a police officer? Typical.

I agree.

I'm sure the city and police know that guy. He didn't get demented over night...

I love how random people on the Internet just diagnose serious mental health illnesses. There are literally thousands of possibilities, but it's always one of the two or three that they know. Everyone is suffering from dementia or schizophrenia, sometimes OCD. 😂

Ask for help from the police so you can finish the lot. Reach out to the city to find out if he owns that lot. If he does not own it, he does not have a say in what happens on it.

@@TryMyMartini There are many mental possibilities that can have. When a person just come out their house to say something to a person who is not bothering them it's a major problem. It's sad that we as a society take mental health lightly and what the government doing as a joke too. Whatever he is suffering with he a threat to society and people in his neighborhood. And people like him need to be in an institution where he can obtain the necessary help he needs, because if it was somebody else and he did that he more than likely would not be living anymore. PERIOD!!

@@TryMyMartini Just know whatever he has going on with him the devil setting him up and somebody is going to send him to his creator or hurt him badly. It's always a MF Badder than him and Crazier. PERIOD!!

And he waited until all the walkways and sidewalks were cleared, and the lawn was cut, before he walked over to bully the good samaritan.

Exactly the comments I was going to give. Very wise advice!

So he just take it up him self to clean up over grown lots without any approval or anything ? While I get wanting to help but this a good reason not to

Good advice.Intentions are good. Finding out who the owner of a property is and getting their approval is my advice. I can see a property owner being concerned as to what’s going on. Now this man’s reaction was in called for.

Hindsight is a great thing . He did knock on his door as he did ask the guy if he lived in that house where he had knocked on.

Yes, you should check with the person first, before doing the lawn.

PS... i do not think you were in the wrong. You were just being kind and helping the community

Nice Work! But that's. "TRESPASSING ZONES" **Yes! The landscaper was not sure who owns that property! The old man could be the Owner.**. Or his neighbor vigilant! **None agreement signed to do that work.** **Risking-Dangerous Zones! **The oldie could be under daily tequila drinking. 🍻🍷Or under medicines 💊 . Who knows.

What if old man own that property! The landscaper wasn't sure who's own that property.🏡🏡 but he did good grass trim. Good 👍.

@@lionrodz why tf you type like that lol

@@lionrodz The comment section isn't a canvas for your disconnected thoughts. You are communicating with other people so use full sentences. I know you can do it champ! You got this!

Oh aye and cops would make better not a mental health worker would have been better

He might need a "wellness check" and he might not but there is no reason legal or otherwise to call the police. There are many other ways to try to reach out to someone in the man's condition but I just don't think it's a police matter.

If he wants to show who can be a bigger Ass , he could call the city and turn in the tall unkept grass . LOL

​@nutgoof the police are the ones to call and who initiate wellness calls.... I had to do the same for a neighbor who hadn't been seen in weeks. Turns out they abandoned the property. But I had no idea. I also had a co-worker whom our employer did the same with, as he was a chronic alcoholic. Turns out they did the right thing but it came too late. He had a heart attack and was not doing well. The police had medical there, but as I stated it was too late. Sometimes, people like the man we saw on here, they push everyone away, or burn too many bridges and then no one checks on them. There is nothing wrong with the police doing a wellness check. In fact, I am sure they would rather do that kind of call than to be dealing with something dangerous.

Please don't call the people with guns and less training than a Starbucks Barista to perform a "wellness check" on anyone.

@Tla81 I so sorry you had to go through that.😟 But if you come across sidewalks that you're having trouble getting through, call your local government about it. They are suppose to keep the sidewalks available. They can site the homeowner or fix it and then charge them. But make sure you mention you're in a wheelchair & have to use the street. If they won't do anything there's always the local news stations.🤔 Good luck.❤

@@jenniferrandolph4115 Correct "The Americans with disability Act" (A federal Law) made access to sidewalks for wheelchairs, canes, crutches, walkers mandatory.

Yes! So thankful he did not do that! Blessings to you, Maureen 👋👋😊

I don’t think that old man has dementia. I think he’s just a hate filled individual who probably watches and listens to people on the Internet / radio that he shouldn’t be that are corrupting his mind.. of course that horrible individual is in the wrong.

Really how did you figure that out?

You have zero idea what an easement is. By definition it is access to property, sometimes even the sidewalk is on private property, under easement, not ownership of the property. If that lot belonged to the old man, the easement does too. A verge is the area between the sidewalk and curb, and usually , but not always is owned by the city. In almost every city in the country, the property owner is still responsible for maintaining the area.

He doesn't own the sidewalks the city could have been mowing the whole lot... He was literally crazy...dementia. He never said it was his property...just felt entitled to it...typical.

Right! Needs to be checked in on regularly by police and mental care nurses. He's a threat to himself and to everyone else around him.

As I said in my other comment... It would be best if he talked to the city and learned who's property that was. The owner of that next house might also own the vacant lot. Notice that the guy only came out once our host started mowing the lawn, and not when he was just working on the concrete sidewalk and drainage curbs. That's when he crossed the line from working on city sidewalks, public access, to working on private property. I have to admit... in someways I like to see natural open spaces. When he started mowing down the "natural environment" from the private property, is when the guy got hostile. I'm not a "tree hugger", but I can see his viewpoint of it.

The video you're referring to was slightly different though. That man was upset simply because Sean was a white man, and he was black, kept accusing him of trying to blow the neighborhood up, and that he (the black man) wouldn't be allowed to mow a yard in a white neighborhood. It was racism, jealousy, and spite. A man who was told his whole life that white people were the source of his problem. It was clear as day.

😊👋👍 Definitely good advice! Thank you

@@TopNotchLawns Hey Top ; I agree with everyone posting. But it's a sound problem. If that mower were silent then 1:100 wouldn't think the glue mending their broken parts is melting. their fragile existence. Solution: A muffler or 2, lower the rpm's and be efficient.

Definitely! I hear from people all over the world around here, I know some cities, states, countries, providences, etc. take care of these things, but around here they always seem to be let go!

I have seen so many abandoned homes and lots that could become housing for he homeless that it is sad to see them falling into disrepair.

Folks with dementia often go the nasty way trying to express their issues. It’s not you! Sorry you had this creepy encounter! Carry on

Ironicly he did all the hard stuff before the guy came out. He was just about to do the last step, making it pretty. Like he said, it's too bad the guy didn't come out earlier and save him all the wasted prep work.
