A good relationship with your neighbors can sometimes be a life-saver, or at the very least, not cause any additional headaches in your daily life. But what if your neighbor is the opposite, an imposing person who willingly steps out of bounds?
In today’s story a young woman approached Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge community to tell her petty, light-hearted revenge story. It all revolves around her neighbor, boundaries, and conveniently, a fence.
Use it or lose it – young’s woman petty revenge against pestering neighbors, who attempted to dupe her
This woman had a fence she didn’t need left over from the previous tenant, and in a turn of events, the fence was soon the center of attention over a few years
Her neighbor pestered her as soon as she settled into her new home, their fencing request rejected due to OP’s law awareness
The woman’s realtor was aware of the fencing request, but the neighbors continuously bugged the woman over the next few years, regardless of the rejection
Her neighbors proceeded with the fencing regardless; she decided to roll up her sleeves to sneakily roll up her fence the same night, digging out the fence posts
Since the neighbors didn’t have an entire side of the fence to work with, they had to wait for a while until the rest of it arrived, costing time and money
Revenge is one of the most common tropes in literature, movies and art in general. It is deeply rooted in our experience as human beings, therefore present in our daily, mundane tasks as well. However, not all revenge is your favorite movie character’s vendetta against their mortal enemies. Sometimes revenge can be petty and minor, as most of our daily chores are. Buckle up for a young woman’s dispute with her neighbors.
Firstly, the woman was approached by her young neighbor regarding her fence on the same day when the OP (Original Poster) settled into her new house, which is already a weird way to welcome your new next-door neighbor. The neighbor asked whether she could put up a fence since she was running a daycare, and to save money, they just wanted to tie into OP’s fence.
The OP refused, since the neighbor would be fencing in a portion of her property. The woman didn’t want the neighbor to use her fence due to adverse possession law. The neighbor would then own the property between their houses if they maintained the wall for a set number of years.
Even the OP’s air conditioner would then be in the now neighbor’s owned “property”. Regardless of the rejection of the proposal, the woman’s neighbors decided to selfishly proceed without being granted permission or notice as well. Naturally, this didn’t look great for the OP.
She noticed that the neighbors had the material for the fence already delivered, but there was an obvious amount lacking since they were planning to use the woman’s fence and did not purchase material for her part of the fence. In OP’s point of view, this only confirmed her suspicions.
