Not my picture! Taken from a friend's Facebook.

Would this level of bleed through bother you?

Yep 😡

ErrolTheDragon · 28/06/2022 20:10

Yes, it's a mess.

Misstes · 28/06/2022 20:13

To be honest no. I couldn’t get worked up about it enough to bother me. I don’t go out into the garden to stare at the fence. Life to short

BrutusMcDogface · 28/06/2022 20:15

Yes!! I don’t know if I’d say anything, though. They probably don’t know they’ve done such a bad job.

rnsaslkih · 28/06/2022 20:15

I would be a bit fed up about it but would be to tired and busy to do anything about it. I suppose for someone who keeps their house immaculate, it would be infuriating.

JuneJubilee · 28/06/2022 20:18

Fuck yes! They have. O right to paint/stain it without permission, if the French owner gave permission then they'll have to suck it up, they should have refused or insisted on a professional doing it!!

lovelilies · 28/06/2022 20:22

Just paint that side the same? I imagine it's dark oak? Our neighbours don't want us to pain the fence between our gardens for the same reason 😭

HannahSternDefoe · 28/06/2022 20:25

Yes.
I imagine if your friend paints her fence white, they'd have a similar problem...

declutteringmymind · 28/06/2022 20:26

Yes.

LifeIsARollerCoaster22 · 28/06/2022 20:27

Yes. It would bother me until i covered it. And im one of them impatient people who would prob go buy the paint asap and do it within a few days. Yep im that sad. But it makes me happy to be like that

It looks green to me. Which may not be a colour the friend likes, or it may entail time and money they can't afford or dont want to spend.

jossysgiant · 28/06/2022 20:32

Who owns the fence?

INeedNewShoes · 28/06/2022 20:33

It’s not good. My neighbour and i agreed on a colour to avoid this issue.

They must have used a ton of paint!

FlippyFloppyFlappy · 28/06/2022 20:40

Yes it would annoy me.

Saz12 · 28/06/2022 21:17

Yep, it’d be irritating. Even if it was their fence I’d still hate looking at it, even though they’ve every right to paint or whatever colour they wanted to.

If it's their fence then they should ask to come round and paint the other side, not just leave ugly drips.

lljkk · 28/06/2022 21:28

I imagine touching it up with hand held brush with colour of my preference. Not annoying, just something to redress.

LadyCluck · 28/06/2022 21:30

Yes

Cookiecrumble22 · 28/06/2022 21:31

It would piss me off a bit. But not enough to make it a thing. I should think it was am accident anyway.

limitededitionbarbie · 28/06/2022 21:33

You can't touch that up. It needs to be sanded and re painted

The same reason I asked my neighbor what he used as I'm shit at painting so in the event I dripped it was ok.

Thebeastofsleep · 28/06/2022 21:44

Yes it would.

Not as much as when my neighbor used a spray gun to do hers and sprayed all our laundry on the line.

Musicalmaestro · 28/06/2022 21:55

It’s inevitable with that type of fence though. Good suggestion from PP to agree a colour with the neighbour beforehand.

Jalepenojello · 28/06/2022 21:57

I’d get over it
