It's not a given by any stretch that you'll get along with your neighbor; after all, there's no basis for selection other than that you lived or were interested in living in the same area—and happened to buy property adjacent to each other. Then you spend every day next to that person, sometimes keenly and overly aware of their comings and goings. So, it's no surprise when personalities clash between neighbors who share nothing in common other than the adjacent boundary of their properties. Some busybody neighbors, in particular, have a problem with minding their own business and will frequently overstep and meddle in affairs that are no business of theirs to meddle in…
Take, for example, this neighbor who was so obsessed with the drainage around their property that they rented a backhoe to dig an unauthorized trench across an adjacent property. When they were thwarted, they managed to convince the city to visit and dig another trench, which resulted in this landowner losing their water line to their property, with no one owning up to the responsibility.
See this landowner's account of events below, from a thread they shared with this growing online community where they vented their frustrations.
