A squabble between neighbours has led one household to dismantle the fence of the house next door. A homeowner has shared the row over property lines on social media - and proudly showed off what they had done.
The spat began after the neighbour built a fence across a chunk of the woman's garden. She says they tried to be "civil" at first and requested they move the fence to the property line. The neighbour apparently refused and the homeowner showed in a TikTok how they pulled apart the fence plank by plank.
Footage shows two men dismantling the fence and stacking the lumber up "neatly" for the neighbour. While some people say they went too far, the Mirror reports the follow-up videos show just how much land the neighbour had taken from them.
The homeowner - who goes by the username @unbewreathable - shared footage of the men removing the fence together, writing: "My neighbour's fence is on our property…we've asked them to partner with us to correct it…they refused…so here we are!"
In a follow-up video, she added: "The property lines are exactly where there are supposed to be…those saying oh I would've taken a free fence-would you also take depreciation on your property?"
The original video has clocked up more than 12 million views and 382k likes, with many followers unable to believe the "cheek" of the neighbour.
One approving person commented: "Normalise not allowing your neighbours to run over you for easing tension. If their fence stays there, they gain that property."
Addressing those who claimed they personally wouldn't mind getting a "free fence", another remarked:" Y'all don’t understand. If they allow the neighbours to fence that property, it becomes their property. The one taking it down loses equity."
A third person wrote: "I get that they wanted the fence straight for aesthetic reasons, but that was A LOT of land in the back there that they tried to claim."
