‘I pushed back’: Neighbors insist resident pay for half of the cost of their fence, even though it sits on their property line and not the resident's

We should all be a little more neighborly. Instead of ducking your head behind a tree so you can avoid small talk with your next-door neighbor, flash them a smile and ask them about the weather. Even though it might feel a little painful at first, setting the foundation for a trustworthy, nurturing relationship with your community members will benefit you more than it will hurt you.

You should know by now, though, that not everyone will build a "trustworthy" relationship with you out of the goodness in their heart. Some will act nice one moment, then demand something from you the next. The difference? It depends on whether they feel slighted or not.

In this next story's case, the person who shares the tale apparently imposed their own idea of a property line when they installed their own fence close to their neighbor's—even though the fence is on their property, so it shouldn't matter.

This might sound a bit confusing, but all you need to know before jumping into the narrative is this: The neighbor's fence exists solely on their own property, but they expect the resident to pay for half of it because they are "using it". How? Who knows. Scroll to read.
