Another neighbour one!
We had a horrid neighbour a while back- a vicious old hag who would gossip about everyone in the street, spread unkind rumours, nit pick at us about non existent things. Anyway, one day we asked her if it was ok for us to extend the fence between our boundaries. It was a 5ft fence and for privacy reasons we wanted to make it 6ft (which is perfectly legal). She went ballistic, swore at us, came round with her property deeds shouting in our faces that the fence was HER PROPERTY, HER RESPONSIBILITY, she owned it and we couldn't legally touch it.
Fair enough.
Literally the very next night there were tremendous gales. Her fence blew right down- every last bit of it.
When I saw her in the garden next I told her what a shame the fence was her property and HER responsibility because if it had been shared I would have gone halves with her on the cost of a new one.
The look on her face would have curdled milk hahahaha!
