Imagine buying a new home with a pool, only to have your neighbors demand access to it for their own parties and gatherings. That’s exactly what happened to a couple who recently purchased a single-family, non-HOA home with a pool. The couple, who prefer to keep to themselves, were taken aback when neighbors from three surrounding homes approached them with expectations to use their pool for weekend and holiday pool parties. ♀️ Little did they know, the previous homeowners had allowed the neighborhood kids and adults to use the pool whenever they wanted. The new homeowners, however, had different plans.

Despite the couple’s repeated attempts to politely decline their neighbors’ requests for pool access, the neighbors just won’t take no for an answer. The homeowners are growing increasingly frustrated with the constant nagging and feel that their privacy is being invaded. They’ve even had to ask their neighbors to leave their property when they followed them while discussing the pool issue. With no bond formed between the new homeowners and their neighbors, it seems that the pool drama is the only thing keeping them connected. So, is it too much to ask for some privacy and control over one’s own property? ♂️ Let’s see what people have to say about this situation…
