Have you ever been so jazzed to move into a new house…

And then it all goes down the toilet in a hurry?

It really sucks!

And it makes you question your future plans and analyze every little decision you make…and nobody wants that.

A man wrote the story below and talked about why his new living situation is turning out to be kind of a nightmare.

Check out what he had to say.

Neighbors hate everyone.

“Our next door neighbors seemed very friendly at first. Weird but friendly.

First time I met her she made it clear by mentioning 5-8 times that her house was a little bigger than ours but still no problems. She also told me she could see that we removed a wall and she could see it from her bathroom window (creepy).

We just moved in in the spring after closing in February.

Their property was bigger than they thought.

Right away we applied for a fence permit and the township needed us to clear something up and they sent a map of our lot with the surveyor stamp.

My neighbor told me that the previous owner of our house told them, for the last 17 years, that the lot line followed a few bushes on the property.

Turns out that according to the township my property extends about 20 feet over from what they originally thought. Our property is on a curved street so the section that we are gaining is shaped like a slice of pie.

The wife has made it clear she isn’t happy.

Maybe she needs to get over it…?

She mentioned 10 times that it’s new information and for 17 years that’s the way it was. She said “you have to understand that after 17 years this is a shock to us and this is how it’s always been.”

She also was telling me how my fence should look and she wants the fence more that 6-10 feet off the property line (township said it can be 1 inch off).

I decided to have enough room for a mower (2 feet).

Finally she said, “that window over there is my teenage daughter’s and we don’t want her looking out and feeling like someone is on top of her” says the woman who looked into my house from her bathroom window.

The neighbor needs to accept the reality that she’s been wrong all these years.

I get you thought your property was bigger but it’s not my fault you got your information from an unreliable source.

I pay the property tax on that piece of land and I want to be able to use it. My property is only .31 acres and my back yard is small but my side yard is big-ish.

The township told me to use a metal detector to find the property pin and I was out there and she came over and started yelling at me.

She said the property line isn’t contested and that what i was doing “was inappropriate and my daughter is right upstairs studying in that room” she kept yelling but I walked away.

Well, what do you know?!?!

We just had the surveyor out the other day and it turns out my property extends another 10 feet beyond where I thought so that’s 30 feet they didn’t expect.

Well the surveyor came up to me and said “what’s wrong with you neighbor? She was telling at me saying I’m digging up her lawn and that it’s her property not theirs” and her husband was on the phone with the township.

Here is a text conversation we had FROM Jerk:

This is Jerk from next door. We saw that your surveyor was out today. Are you and your wife both available to talk with us for a few minutes sometime today or tomorrow?

OP responded back.

Hi Jerk. Yes surveyor was out today. No offense but at this time we are not comfortable having a conversation. We went through the proper channels to ensure we are putting the fence on our property.

We spent additional money to insure this was correct based off of your recommendation for it.

Our son and our dog having their space is our main priority. Not to do anything out of spite.

We feel like there is some hostility evidenced by things that were said to myself and the surveyors today. Just looking to avoid confrontation. Hope you understand.

Honestly, what is there to talk about…?

FROM Jerk

There’s no hostility. We’re not seeking confrontation either. We would just like to have a neighborly discussion about your plans for the fence. Any projects done along that property line have a significant impact on our daily lives due to the close proximity to our primary living and working space in our home, including our teenage daughter. We are not nor have we ever been opposed to you installing a fence. END TEXTING

Basically they want to tell me where to put my fence even though they didn’t discuss with their neighbors their fence.

Fence is installed 3 feet off the property line and I was thinking of planting arborvitae in that space.

But wait, there’s more!

They are demanding I move my ring spotlight. The spotlight starts to fade as it reaches my fence. In another text message I received he states that the light shines in his daughters bedroom (on the second floor) and in his kitchen.

The light is 8 feet off the ground and pointed to a spot down about 15 feet out.

I’m not the only neighbor that has issues with them.

I no longer communicate with them because last time I did I was yelled at for being on my own lawn. They continue to bring up their daughter which I’ve never seen evidence that she even exists.

Then there’s the dog…

DOG COMPLAINT:

They’ve recently reached out to me saying my dog was outside all morning barking which I looked back at the Ring camera and not only was she not out all morning but when she was barking it was at him slowly walking his dog in front of my fence then yelling at her multiple times and his dog went to the bathroom on my lawn and he didn’t pick it up.

The other dog in the video is my neighbors behind us.

We have bonded over our mutual dislike for these jerks. They’ve yelled at their kids because the kids called him by his first name instead of the jerk.

My dog was outside playing and we don’t let her bark more than a few minutes before we bring her in. Legally she can bark for 15 minutes but she doesn’t come close.

But the neighbors also complain about the fire pit.

FIRE PIT COMPLAINT

I had the fire marshal show up at my house and my neighbors behind us because they called the fire department when we had fire pits.

The fire marshal was super nice and just told us to keep the fire pit 15 feet from combustibles so I moved it and now it’s closer to their property line, garage, and in view of one of the bedrooms but that’s where it’s legally allowed to be.

So because of them it’s now more of an annoyance…”

Here’s what folks had to say on Reddit.

This reader had a lot to say.

If you enjoyed this story, check out this post about a woman who went a month without water because her neighbor refused to let workers on “his” easement.

And another reader weighed in.

Ugh…this sure is ugly.

Take about a rude awakening!

What should he do next…?

These neighbors want to complain about anything and everything!
