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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

After OP's neighbors are done paying fines and lawsuits the amount they payed could have been used to bold their own pool.

Oh man, that's gotta suck for them. If OP has any sensibility at all he'll/she'll sue them for everything they're worth! Yup, the neighbor's did NOT think that one through...

Send them a certified letter giving them notice to take it down immediately or you will sue

This makes me seethe in rage. I had a similar situation where a neighbor didn't like our fence and wanted it taken down. It's on our property so she had no right to even suggest that. One day my ma was across the street at this cafe and saw a stranger go into our backyard and start measuring. When asked "The **** are YOU doing here?" he said "I'm taking this fence down." "No you're NOT this fence is on my property now get off my property before I call the cops" You have every right to knock that shit down. Even if the shared fence was more on their property line it does NOT give them the right to encroach on your turf. Light that bitch up.
