Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my new neighbors when they backed into my parked car. FML
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
Today, some new people moved into the house next door to mine. The previous occupants were very loud and obnoxious day in and day out, so I was looking forward to some sanity. When I went outside, I noticed they'd parked their cars on my lawn. FML
Today, my new neighbors moved in across the street. Also today, they began to park at the end of my driveway. Not used to a car being there, I backed out and promptly hit it. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML
Today, I met my neighbors for the first time, as they helped me carry my dead cat off the road. FML
Today, my new neighbours moved in. I've neither seen nor spoken to them yet; all I know is that they enjoy hammering at the walls for hours on end and repeatedly setting off the fire alarm. All this in the small hours of the morning. I got two hours of sleep. FML
Today, my dad made me deliver a welcoming cake to our new neighbors. While I was making small-talk, I saw him climb over their backyard fence. A minute later, he climbed back over, with a plastic deck-chair in hand. I feel like an accessory to the pettiest theft in history. 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 moved into my new house. I went over to my neighbors' house to introduce myself. As they opened the door I saw a telescope pointed at my house. FML
Today, I paid $5000 for a new fence in my backyard for my dogs. My dog escaped three hours after the contractor finished the fence. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't worry, at least it's not possible for them to make you pay for it.

Depending on how long they've been your neighbors, couldn't it just be a coincidence?

Are they planning on getting a dog? Do they have children and want it to be enclosed so they don't have to worry? I have a son, but I personally LOVE fences because I love the way modern ones look and I love gardening and having my own private yard! Don't take it personally at all!

The first thing we did when we moved to our new house was build a fence. It's nothing personal to the people around us. Sometimes families want to socialize, sometimes they want privacy.

C'mon, people, don't downvote him! He's referring to another FML, the one about dogs hating the neighbours so much they created a shit barrier in the yard.

I don't think you should read too much into it. They might be getting a dog or something, or maybe it's just for privacy. I love my neighbours they're good people, but that doesn't mean I want to share a yard with them all the time. It's nice to be able to go outside and be able to sit in my yard alone without being disturbed.

No worries, a lot of people just like their privacy

We love our fences! Maybe they had pets that they want to let out into their yard

You shouldn't just assume that it had anything to do with you. Maybe they just like their privacy.
