Today, I found out that my neighbors took it upon themselves to knock down the fence we shared, and putting up a new one. Thus fencing my pool into their yard. When I asked them why, he replied, "We thought you weren't coming back." I was gone for 4 months tending to my sister with breast cancer. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I met my new neighbors. The first thing they did was build a fence. FML
Today, I explained to my new neighbors that my kids will continue to use the pool in the backyard as they have for years. The neighbor immediately said my kids are not welcome in her yard and she is building a fence. I don’t know how to explain to my sweet babies they no longer have their pool. FML
Today, I came home from vacation, only to find my neighbours relaxing on my patio, and their kids swimming in my pool. FML
Today, my neighbor yelled at me because her two kids got into my pool. They scaled a two-meter wall to get to my backyard. They used a tree in her yard that hangs over the wall. I guess I could install razor wire on top of the wall. FML
Today, I found out that while I was on vacation my neighbor had let my brother into my apartment. I don't have a brother. FML
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, I went to check if my neighbours were home to return their dog, having looked after her for a few days. I looked in the window and the place was empty. They'd moved house and stuck us with their dog. FML
Today, I agreed to lend my daughter's inflatable pool to my neighbor for the day. Barely an hour later, I witnessed his son jump off their balcony, missing the pool by inches. He's now in hospital, and my neighbor has sworn to sue me, saying I'm responsible because the pool is mine. FML
Today, I finished a fence around my house that I have been working on all week. About an hour after I finished, a water company truck pulled into my driveway. They told me they would have to take down my fence to make repairs on a water pipe. FML
Today, I came back home to find that my house had been robbed, one week after my neighbors. I was walking around my neighborhood to see if anything was suspicious, and discovered that my neighbors had put up a sign, reading: "Rob the neighbors, THEY don't have a security system." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

They... essentially stole your pool...? This is just bizarre. In what universe would anyone, from any walk of life, think this is okay?

Why are people all "sue! sue! sue!"? Tell them to put the fence back where it belongs, and pay for cleaning the pool. If they do, no harm done. If they don't, then sue. Don't people actually discuss problems any more?

If you were me, I would demand to tear down the fence nicely and if they were rude or if it took them a week to do so I would call the city and even some neighbors to watch me as I tear down that fence. Not only would they have trouble with the law, but they would also be the most unpopular family in the neighborhood.

That's illegal, in so many ways, even if you weren't coming back. I hope they have agreed to fix the problem in a timely manner, at no cost to you (of course!), without you having to get the courts involved.

Put a fortress around the pool and take part of their backyard.

Have you taken legal recourse or just taken the move like a bitch?
