‘My house is my house’: Neighbor throws tantrum when a new homeowner moves in next door and strictly enforces their backyard property line by building a fence

Property line wars will find you no matter how hard you try to be nonconfrontational and morally sound. Why? Well, not everyone follows the same drama-free lifestyle as you, and principles are as varied as the common cold. Even if you try your best to be the nicest neighbor you can be, someone will try to turn you into the bad guy.

What do you do when someone insists that what you do with your property, on your property, is their problem? Well, first, you have to analyze the situation and ensure you're not unknowingly up to no good. Once you disqualify yourself as the "threat," so to speak, you know that whatever qualm your neighbor has with you is a direct result of something they feel entitled to.

In this next story, an entitled neighbor starts problems with a new homeowner after they put up a privacy fence. The neighbor had been using the new homeowner's backyard before the homeowner purchased the house, and now wants to complain about being "boxed in" their smaller yard. If they wanted more yard space, they should have purchased more land, don't you think? Scroll below to read the entire story.
