Fenced In: A Tale of Neighbors, Shortcuts, and Boundaries
Our protagonist, the owner of a large house with a huge property, finds themselves in a dilemma as their peaceful life is disrupted by an expanding neighborhood. ️ They created a shortcut to the main road, which the new neighbors began to use, leading to parties, parking, and aggressive behavior. After multiple attempts to resolve the issue, they built a large stone fence around their property. Now, the neighbors are apologizing and begging for the fence to be removed, as their travel time to work has increased significantly. But our protagonist isn’t backing down, even threatening to let their dogs loose if the neighbors trespass again. However, they can’t help but feel conflicted, as the nice neighbors are also affected by their actions. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
