If you live in close proximity to your neighbours, then you might find that your privacy is violated if they don't respect your space.
Despite erecting a 7ft privacy fence to keep out of a neighbour's eyesight, one homeowner claims they can't even step outside without being spied on after their neighbours installed a camera.
Taking to popular forum site Reddit, the anonymous user explained that their neighbours recently installed the camera, which is 'facing the backyard'.
Sharing images of the newly installed work, the person wrote: "Built a seven-foot privacy fence. Neighbor raised his by two feet and put a camera facing into my backyard."
They explained: "I've been having problems with this neighbor since they moved in years ago.
"They originally built their fence two feet into my property early 2020. I had to pay for a boundary survey and lawyer to get them to correct their mistake.
"Decided to build a privacy fence and be done with them once and for all this past November.
"One month later they raise the height of their fence and this pops up (facing front to back). Police won't do anything and I can't afford a civil suit."
Since sharing the dilemma they're experiencing with their neighbours, the Reddit post has raked in over 11,000 comments to date.
Flocking to the comment section to share their thoughts on the awkward predicament, people shared suggestions on how to get petty revenge on their neighbours.
One person suggested: "Stick up a post with a camera doing the exact same thing lol. Even if it's a fake one."
A second joked: "Put a pinwheel on your fence, just in front of the camera… keep that thing's view blocked and motion detector alerting at all times…"
A third added: "Just raise your fence about two feet (but only right in front of the camera).
"Alternatively, place a small mirror on a stick so the camera can film itself and nothing else."
