I built a 6ft fence but my neighbours forced me to lower it

A "PETTY" neighbour decided to take a savage revenge on the couple next door who complained about her fence - and people are loving her for it.

Donna Yopp Paul was ordered by her "controlling" neighbours to reduce the height of her six-foot fence by two feet to match the others in the area.

Although she had no choice but to obey the county rule, the savvy woman cited another by-law which allowed her paint the fence facing their house in clashing neon colours.

So while Donna kept it a pretty grey shade on her side, the couple now have a brand spanking new pink, purple, yellow and green fence to look at.

The video of the woman's sweet payback, originally broadcasted on WSB-TV and reported by The Sun in 2020, has resurfaced on TikTok.

The post has amassed almost half a million likes and more than 30,000 comments, with most people praising Donna's move.

One wrote: "Wish Donna was my neighbour!"

"I support Donna's colorful fence," another commented.

A third replied: "Her fence! Her rules! good for her."

Another added: "That's not petty, that's standing up for your self too petty people. Good for you."

Donna, from Newton County, Georgia, said she never saw eye-to-eye with her neighbours.

She claimed the county had allowed her to have a six-foot fence for privacy - before backtracking when the neighbours complained.

"It's a control thing," she added. "They basically trying to control things I do on my property."

Donna also splashed out on paint with a 20-year warranty.

She said: "So within 15 years if it needs to be repainted, it will be painted the same colour."

Despite the online success, Donna's fence makeover hasn't gone down well with other members of the community.

Dick Hopkins - who lives in the next house over - said: "I don't know what her problem is but she certainly doesn't have any respect for her other neighbours."

Donna's dispute is one of a series of creative fence rows.

A Canadian woman has told how she erected an "ugly" 50ft wide privacy screen in her garden to get revenge on her petty neighbours.

TikTok user Norse-Gael Hobbit claimed the people living next door to her have a long-standing vendetta against her due to her chainlink fence.

A dog owner also went viral after sharing his hilarious response to his naggy neighbours telling him not to build a fence for his pooch.

The ingenuous plan was to not only build the fence for his dog, but to also carve an extra panel to make it a cheeky retaliation.
