  • A couple of months ago, I bought my first house. It's nothing fancy, but it's got a small backyard, and one of the first things I did was put up a wooden privacy fence so my dog could run around without bothering anyone.
  • Cue my next-door neighbor Linda who came over the day after the fence was finished. She was holding a mug like she was about to give me friendly new neighbor vibes... nope.
  • She asked if I would mind moving my fence back about six feet. I asked her why I would do that. She told me it blocked her view from her kitchen window and she liked to look out at the trees, and that if I moved it back, I'd still have plenty of yard.

  • I explained as politely as I could that the fence was entirely on my property line since I had the survey done, and moving it would literally give her six more feet of my yard for free.
  • She said she had lived there for 15 years and had always had that view, so it was basically hers. I laughed, couldn't help it, and told her no.
  • Since then she has "accidentally" thrown her leaves and branches over the fence twice, and last week I caught her trying to peek over with a step ladder. When I confronted her, she said if I weren't so selfish, she wouldn't have to do it.

  • You might want to get a ring camera and point it towards the part of the fence that's next to her yard. Just so you can capture her craziness on video because don't put past her to damage your fence when you're not around.
