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 you a titan by any chance?

Don't worry about it, some people just want some privacy, or maybe they have a dog or a little kid and want them to be able to play in the yard safely, it doesn't necessarily mean they put it up because of you. You're on here so I'm sure you're a lovely person :)

Fences are great if you have young children, pets or gardens. This way you don't clean up dog mess that isn't yours or have children running through your garden. I wish we could afford a fence since we have neighbors that throw trash all over their yard that magically ends up in my yard all the time.

Maybe they just like to have fences? because it can protect against dogs, and makes you feel safer.

I wouldn't take that personally. They could have kids or dogs or just like their privacy.

So? My next door neighbour moved in a few months ago and the first thing he did was build a fence because his two year old dog is a jumper. I'm 1,72m (5 feet 7.2 inches) and, even though he's not a big dog, he can jump as high as my chest height. So, and seeing as we have a balcony (apartment) with no more than a meter (3 feet) high wall, and a potential 10m (32feet) fall, building a fence makes perfect sense. I doesn't mean the neighbours want nothing to do with you. You won't know that unless you talk to them.

That's some fast building.

It's a fence? When our new neighbors moved in they tore down the original one in their front yard, had a bunch of new supplies brought and that sat out in their yard for 1 1/2 months before they finally put up their fence all the way. Personally, I'd love a fully fenced yard. But I have kids, one of which is 2 1/2 and likes to try and run into the street. *sigh*

It might not have been you. They could have built the fence for their kids, animals or if they were planning to get a pool
