Jim and Susan were pleased, as they didn’t have to pay anything for it. A year ago, Jim and Susan sold their house, and Kayla, a realtor from the big city, moved in. She was different from the locals, always dressed formally and boasting about her new home. Six months later, a land surveyor appeared in the neighborhood, marking boundaries. The next day, Kayla knocked on my door with a stack of papers, informing me that my fence encroached nine inches onto her property. She demanded I move the fence or pay for the land. I explained the agreement I had with the previous owners, but she was unimpressed and insisted on following the rules. She threatened legal action if I didn’t comply. With no proof of the previous agreement, I had no choice but to take down the fence, a task that was both grueling and disheartening.A week later, Kayla returned, distraught. She pleaded for me to rebuild the fence, revealing that her dog, Duke, needed it to stay safe. Despite her previous hostility, I refused to rebuild it to avoid further conflict. Over the next few weeks, Kayla’s attempts to contain Duke with a flimsy bamboo fence failed, and Duke’s antics began to take a toll on her work and social life. One day, Duke broke through the fence during a garage sale, causing chaos and leading to the theft of Kayla’s purse. The neighborhood found humor in the situation, but Kayla was left dealing with the aftermath. Desperate, Kayla tried various solutions to contain Duke, but nothing worked. One evening, she begged me again to rebuild the fence, even offering to pay for it. I empathized with her plight but remained firm in my decision. We brainstormed alternative solutions, but rebuilding the fence was not an option. As months passed, Kayla’s situation worsened, and her continuous complaints wore me down. Eventually, I decided to sell my house and move on. A young couple without pets bought my house, unfazed by Kayla’s situation. I took the old fence panels to my new home, where I found peace and even met someone special.Looking back, I realized that Kayla moving next door was a push I needed to leave the old neighborhood. My new home brought tranquility, and I often smile at the memory of those fence panels. Sharing the story with friends always brings laughter, a reminder that sometimes karma works in mysterious ways.
