Like the old Far Side cartoon says, "And now Randy, by use of song, the male sparrow will stake out his territory... an instinct common in the lower animals."
Territory disputes are a thing as old as time. You'd think the advent of property laws would at least soften the animosity people have when it comes to "my dang ol' property," but in practice, it has served to make things stickier and subject to litigation. These folks found themselves living next to a lady who had an extremely rigid idea of what a steeply discounted new fence 6 inches into the neighbor's property would entail, and spent half a decade griping and threatening the neighbors over it rather than solving anything. If we all had glasses that would let us see things from another person's perspective, the world might be a nicer place. But we don't, so it isn't.
For some tremendous neighbor drama, here are the worst neighbors people have experienced.
