Entitled neighbor demands resident to install fence surrounding front wall to selfishly protect her own garden:, resident refuses 'I don't want to!'

There is a fine line between being neighborly and allowing a difficult person to walk all over you. Yes, when you're dealing with entitled neighbors, it can be a challenge to remain in their good graces while also standing up for yourself, as the author of this story learned the hard way.

Of course, there are times when neighbors should go out of their way to help one another out, whether it's borrowing a vacuum or helping them clean up a mess. The problem is when that neighbor starts to get the idea that you will do just about anything for them if they ask you nicely. That's when you need to get ahead of things and start politely declining if it's the kind of request you wouldn't necessarily put on them. 

Let that always be the barometer. Otherwise, you're going to find yourself in a situation where your neighbor relies on you more than anyone else!
