The neighbour who claims ownership of shared space operates on pure confidence with zero paperwork. They will tell you with absolute certainty that you cannot use the alley, the driveway, the path, the air above the property line. Landlords and deeds and actual legal documents mean nothing against the sheer force of their conviction. You could show them the title deed, the survey, a notarized letter from the mayor, and they will still look at you like you are the one trying to pull a fast one.

Attaching a gate to someone else’s house takes real nerve. They invent boundaries where none exist. The logic goes something like I gave you enough warning, which means they gave you no warning at all. Taking matters into your own hands is corporate speak for I knew you would say no so I did it anyway. The gate goes up, the cable gets cut, and suddenly everyone is an architect of their own misfortune.

Moving day provides opportunities for accidents that would make a cartoon villain blush. A satellite cable sitting there, completely unguarded, practically begging to be severed by a sharp edged table. Twice. These things happen. Karma is a dish best served when you are already halfway out the door with boxes in your hands.
The best part about cutting ties with awful neighbours is the cutting part. You pack your stuff, you leave, and you never have to see them again. They can stand in their self made kingdom of shared space that is definitely theirs, thank you very much, while you drive away knowing they will never bother you again. Some battles you win by fighting, others you win by leaving
