Man's entitled neighbor reports him for his lawn's grass height, then begins using weed eliminator spray all over his side of their shared fence: ‘She's with the city, she has more power’

The whole point of a shared fence between two homes is to ensure that there is a clear distinction between which section of the greenery is considered your property and which section is considered theirs. An unreliable, entitled neighbor would make it their mission to micromanage what you do with your lawn and then take matters into their own hands (by doing something that does not seem quite legal).

If you've also fallen victim to nosy neighbors, we're sure you understand this frustration. The very idea that a neighbor feels entitled to make changes to your property is beyond me, but this kind of issue happens every day. You get Bob from next door complaining about a loose tree branch in your yard that doesn't even hang over the shared fence. Then, you have Karen strongly advising you to stop mowing your lawn so early in the morning (it's 2 PM on a Saturday).

The man in this story was reported to the city for his grass allegedly exceeding the 10-inch legal limit. No surprise, a Karen neighbor who works for the city sent that tip in. His grass did not exceed the legal limit, and he regularly got his lawn cut and his weeds whacked. The neighbor then decides to spray weed-removing chemicals all over OP's side of their newly shared fence (which is also hazardous for OP's dog). This Karen neighbor seems to be getting away with her behavior, and the man is trying to figure out his next steps.
