I moved into a house with a shared garden & put up a privacy fence to keep neighbours out, I know I’m an a*****e

WHEN moving into a new property, one of the first things people look at is how much privacy they have from their neighbours.

But one woman was surprised to find she had none whatsoever as the previous owners had a shared garden with their mates next door.

And while this setup might work for some people, Anna was not interested in sharing her space and was quick to rectify the situation to suit her better.

Taking to social media to share her side of the story, she panned the camera over the garden, where a half-complete wooden fence could be seen.

"When your new neighbour tells you that they LOVED sharing the open space with the previous homeowners," she wrote over this.

She then showed her face to the camera, as she had a pink mug close to her face with her raven mane up in a bun.

Lip syncing to Just Like Your by Falling in Reverse, she said: "I am aware that I am an a*****e".

In the caption, TikTok user @anne_with2ns added: "Sorry not sorry," followed by a crying with laughter emoji.

People were quick to flock to the comments section as one person theorised: "They didn't want to pay for a playground".

Another person said: "Translation. I really liked having a free backyard please don't take it away from me".

A third shared their experience as they said: "Our neighbour got his 3 year old to come and tell us that we were ‘meanies’ while building a fence because that was her play area. Cool."

"Just bcuz the previous homeowners were comfortable with sharing a backyard doesn't mean you automatically have to," alongside a crying with laughter emoji.

One person, however, had a different theory as they suggested: "They probably just said that so they wouldn't have to pay for the fence but in reality I’m sure they did want one".

And others said they would’ve done the exact same thing as one shared: "Hahahaha this would be me".

"Don't blame yah," another said, while a third added: "Yeah no thanks, I don't want to see my neighbours".
