A new homeowner’s dream has turned into a bit of a nightmare due to a neighbourly dispute caught on camera. Imagine moving into your new spot and discovering your garden is being used as a local loo by your neighbour’s dogs! 🤯 That’s exactly what’s happening to one Reddit user, @_Pheebz, who’s taken to the social media platform to share their frustration.
Settling into a corner plot in the UK, they’re not fully in their new home yet due to ongoing renovations. But thanks to security cameras, they’ve found the neighbour isn’t just taking a shortcut through their garden but also letting her dogs relieve themselves on the freshly laid lawn. And it’s happening over and over again!
Faced with this awkward situation, the homeowner is planning to build a little fence, hoping it will send a clear message. Some fellow Redditors agree that a fence is the way to go, with one suggesting a waist-high barrier should do the trick. Another said that if she continues to intrude, maybe then a conversation is needed.
As for the legalities, while it’s mostly a civil matter, dog owners can face penalties for persistent fouling, ranging from £100 to £1,000 if issues aren’t resolved. But @_Pheebz remains skeptical, concerned this might not stop the relentless pooch potty problem.
