A woman has kicked off online after her neighbour decided to paint their own side of the fence a different colour.
The Mumsnet user feels that this has forced her into painting her side of the fence so that their garden does not look silly.
She says that she is annoyed as she thinks that the neighbour should have discussed the matter before cracking on and changing the colour.

The mum added that this was not the first time that a fence painting incident involving the same neighbour had taken place, the Mirror reports.
The post garnered a mixed response with some being supportive of the woman whilst others poked fun are at kicking up a fuss.
She took to Mumsnet anonymously to ask for advice, explaining: "My neighbour has painted their side of their fence...without telling me? My side looks awful now.
"If they had told me they were doing it, I would have arranged to get my side done too.
"It's a totally different colour and the top and sides are the new colour, as are all the drips on my side.
"They did this a few years ago as well but it was the same colour and I still had to promptly paint my side because it looked so bad with the drips.
"I probably said nothing at the time. I will need to get my side painted the same (neighbours choice of colour again) - I don't know whose fence it is, if anyone's, it was here before we both moved here, but it maybe is theirs."
The woman went on to say how she's just annoyed because they usually have a good neighbourly relationship.
She added: "I have a family party planned at the weekend and have been getting the garden looking presentable and it now looks, well, shoddy and horrible."
Some sympathised with the woman, whereas others just told her to get on with her party planning and not give the fence a second thought.
"It’s a bit of an overreaction," wrote one person. "Is it just one fence panel or an entire side of the garden? Could you ask to have the paint colour and paint your side?"
Another sarcastically commented: "How awful they didn’t consult you first to marry up dates. It will be utterly distressing for your party guests and will ruin the evening."
Others were kinder, however, with someone posting: "I’m absolutely gutted for you and understand the pain you must feel. Our neighbour did a similar thing and it took me weeks to reverse the damage."
