Residents report neighbors to the city council after finding out they built a fence past the property line, leading neighbors to publicly confront them: ‘Why are you mad at me?’

Why is it so hard for people to accept the boundaries they are required to follow?

Whenever we tell other people about something they can't do, we can almost see the gears shifting in their minds, convincing them that they must do it, even though they are not supposed to.

It's like the five-year-old in them takes over and makes the worst decisions for them.

But here's the thing about people doing things they are not supposed to do: A lot of the time, there will be consequences that follow. Since adults are not actually five-year-olds, when they do something they weren't allowed to, they will be met with repercussions, more than just a time-out or no dessert after dinner.

The perfect example of a case like this is depicted in the story below, posted by a frustrated resident in a Reddit community. According to this resident, they are currently dealing with an entitled neighbor who thought they could get away with crossing a boundary that they very clearly knew about and ignored. 

Every homeowner knows that there are clear boundaries when it comes to their property lines. Every house is bounded by the property lines that were set when it was bought, and every homeowner is meant to stay within the lines of their property. However, some owners tend to believe they can simply ignore those boundaries and do what they wish, including building past their property lines and into their neighbors' private land.

That is exactly what these neighbors did in the story. They ignored the boundary between their house and the one next to them and built a platform into their garden well into the neighboring house. They fully believed they could get away with it, but the residents quickly noticed the change and reported it to the council. Surprisingly, it didn't take long for the council to take action and demand that the neighbors take down their platform.

Unfortunately, that didn't stop the entitled neighbors from complaining…
