It’s easy to be a nice neighbor if your neighbors are nice; however, if they start messing with your property without your permission, this can lead to no more Mr. Nice Neighbor.

In today’s story, the neighbors put up a mirror in their garden to help them see the main road more clearly.

Originally, this wasn’t a problem, but then the neighbors did something pretty inconsiderate. Now, the next door neighbors want to retaliate.

Check out the full details below.

AITA for telling my neighbour to remove a mirror from my garden

We recently moved into a property that is roughly opposite a small row of houses.

It had a partially concealed entrance from the main road.

This family had no problem with the mirror.

The previous owners had allowed the opposite houses to put up a mirror in our front garden to help with their visibility.

We originally had no issues.

However, recently we’ve had several calls demanding we trim the hedges more often.

We have a young family and other priorities, but do our best.

Now they now want to remove the mirror.

Today, they’ve cut down a section of the hedge without permission, leaving a fairly unsightly mess.

This has left me more annoyed than I would have expected, and I’ve asked them to remove the mirror.

AITA?

The neighbor clearly didn’t think about the potential consequences to their actions!
