A Taylor woman had an "emotionally-charged outburst" while facing court for spraying her neighbours with a hose last December.
On Tuesday, the woman pleaded guilty to two counts of common assault at the ACT Magistrates Court.
The 33-year-old sprayed the first victim over the fence after "attempting to start an argument" with her neighbours, police documents claim.
The neighbour's dog began to bark at the offender's dog when she "lifted the hose she was holding so it was above the fence and sprayed [him] with water".
The woman is accused of making threats, saying things like "watch out for your precious car", "you don't know who I know" and "I know a lot of people in jail and you're going to get got".
The second assault occurred when the neighbour's sister, who lives with him, began to film her.
"[The attacker] approached the fence, held the hose above the fence and sprayed [the woman] with water for about four seconds," the court documents state.
Police said the attack caused the brother to be "stressed, frustrated and annoyed that it happened, as well as scared for [his sister's] safety".
The sister felt "angry and overwhelmed".
In court while representing herself, the attacker told Magistrate Peter Morrison "I don't know what the hell's going on with this".
"People keep making up these allegations," she said before indicating she would plead not guilty to the charges.
While reading a court document outlining the accusations against her, the woman appeared to be confused as to what she was being charged over.
"Can you just show me the assault?" she asked Mr Morrison.
After reading through the facts, the prosecutor confirmed the charges were largely based on "two sprays of water".
In what Mr Morrison later described as an "emotionally-charged outburst", the woman claimed her neighbours were "junkies" that had beaten her up and "half killed" her.
"I live alone ... I'm being attacked by these f---ing people," she said.
"They're f---ing junkies ... you're protecting f---ing junkies.
"I'm not coming back [to court] for a f---ing victim impact statement".
Appearing to refer broadly to the justice system, the woman said she was about to "snap".
"[You're] trying to create a terrorist," she said.
Mr Morrison gently interjected, telling the woman to "stop, stop, stop" and 'settle down".
"[I] can't just let you rant," he said before adjourning the hearing to later that day.
When the woman returned, Mr Morrison called her monologue "an emotionally charged outburst".
"That was the truth," the woman replied.
"I just want it to be over with, this is painful."
The woman is scheduled to appear next in court on May 5 for sentencing.
