That's exactly what happened to one homeowner after she installed a privacy fence in her back garden so her dog could roam around safely without disturbing anyone.But just hours after it went up, her neighbour came knocking with an unexpected complaint. She claimed the fence was ruining her view and demanded it be moved, leaving the homeowner wondering whether she was being unreasonable. Since the situation occured, the woman is now asking the internet for advice.The woman posted on Reddit: "She asked if I would mind moving my fence back about six feet. I asked her why I would do that."She told me it blocked her view from her kitchen window and she liked to look out at the trees, and that if I moved it back, I'd still have plenty of yard."I explained as politely as I could that the fence was entirely on my property line since I had the survey done, and moving it would literally give her six more feet of my yard for free."She said she had lived there for 15 years and had always had that view, so it was basically hers. I laughed, couldn't help it, and told her no."Since then, the neighbour is doing everything in their will to make things difficult.She added: "Since then she has 'accidentally' thrown her leaves and branches over the fence twice, and last week I caught her trying to peek over with a step ladder."When I confronted her, she said if I weren't so selfish, she wouldn't have to do it."Your thoughtsTurning to social media for guidance, she asked fellow users what they would do in her position.One user responded: "Record her and call the city on her a***."Another said: "Ask her why doesn't she just move her kitchen window to a spot where she can get her view back."A third user suggested: "Get cameras and next time she peeks over, spray her face full blast with a water hose."It comes after a woman was left uncomfortable as her "nosey neighbours keep watching her" over the garden fence.Article continues belowShe described the house as having "came with a huge and beautiful garden which overlooked the moors and was extremely peaceful", but claimed their tranquillity was frequently disrupted.Initially, the couple threw themselves into carrying out a great deal of work on the property.
