Neighbor drills holes in a shared fence to “spy” on next-door homeowner, then pretends they know nothing about it when homeowner confronts them: 'This is beyond nosy'

There are many different levels of nosy people. Some reveal their nosiness by asking too many questions, getting personal with people they hardly know. Then there are those who quietly listen in to conversations they have no part in hearing, gathering information piece by piece.

Next-level type of nosy people are those who go out of their way to get into someone else's business, just like the neighbors in the story below.

They took their nosiness to a whole extreme when they decided to drill holes in someone else's fence so they could look inside their property. Their neighbors found dozens of holes directed to different locations in their home, clearly placed to get maximum view into someone else's life.

When they were confronted about it, and about other weird neighborly behavior, these neighbors denied the allegations and claimed everything they did was normal.

My neighbors drilled holes in our fence to spy, taunt my dogs with whistles, and pretend they don’t know what I’m talking about

If I had neighbors who deemed it normal to drill holes in my fence and peek through them, I would seriously consider moving.
Thank god I live in an apartment building.
