If you’re going to file a complaint to the city about the size of a neighbor’s fence, make sure that they aren’t a lawyer.

In this story, a lawyer read through all the regulations so that they could build a fence even bigger than before.

Check out the details here.

A lawyer and his fence

So, my friend and I are electricians and he once had something to do at a lawyer’s house.

You can imagine a big house and a lot of property, everything was really nice.

That seems weird.

Except on one side of the property there was mound of earth all the way at the property line.

He asked said lawyer about it and he told him that he hated that neighbor and he once a 10 feet/3 meter fence.

What a petty neighbor.

Well the neighbor hated him as well and had him tear down the fence since the community regulations only allowed 6.5 feet/2 meter fences.

Oh, wow. I can picture it in my mind!

Since he is a lawyer, he read the regulations, bought a lot of dirt, and build this long 6.5 feet/2 meter pile of dirt AND installed a 6.5 feet/2 meter fence, exactly as the regulations required.

That’s what happens if a petty lawyer hates you

Now I know never to get on the bad side of a neighbor if they are a lawyer.

Let’s see how other people reacted.

This famous quote definitely applies here.

This person points out that this used to be a common occurrence.

The neighbor must have really upset the lawyer.

This person points out that this is a ‘Spite Fence’ and is generally illegal.

Another person pointing out that this is illegal in most places.

Now you’re just being petty.

But that’s what we love on Reddit.
