The neighbour was left unhappy after axing their own trees

A family have been left shocked following a dispute with their neighbour who became upset after chopping down trees in their own back garden.

Writing online, the person - under the username Wordsworse - said their neighbour's trees had been covering up random items stuffed down the side of their family garage.


But after axing down the trees in their garden, they were then left unhappy that they could see the rogue items alongside their neighbour's garage.

The family then claim that their neighbour moved all of their items to the back of the garage, in a bid to hide the clutter.

In response, the person wrote a post on the Mumsnet forum "Am I being unreasonable?"

They asked members what they should now place alongside their garage.

"They [neighbours] are now unhappy with the fact they can see the stuff stored down the side of my garage," they wrote.

"So they’ve moved all the stuff to the back of my garage. Without asking me.

\MORE NIGHTMARE NEIGHBOURS:

"I can now see their hideous 1970s house whereas before I could see fir trees in which the Goldcrests gathered.

"I’m toying with what I can put down the side of my garage.

"What about one of those blow-up bendy balloon men they have outside some businesses? I wouldn’t be able to see it."

The post received dozens replies, with many suggesting the neighbour was in the wrong.

One person wrote: "Move your stuff back and tell them not to trespass again. Cheeky f*****s."

Another added: "Move the stuff back where it was, definitely. If they wanted their delicate eyes shielded from having to see onto your property they should have thought of that before chopping down the trees.

"They can put up a fence or plant something else but they don't get to dictate where you keep things on your land."
