Nonchalant Neighbors

Tweet

Today, we finished filling up the land on the lot we purchased. Our neighbor bought a truckload of fill dirt because their area became too low after we filled up our lot. However, one truckload of fill dirt seemed insufficient for their needs. When my uncle suggested they order another truckload, they claimed they couldn't afford it. We noticed some other neighbors gathering the fill dirt that spilled onto their property, and even taking some that hadn't spilled onto theirs. Despite our presence, it seemed they didn't acknowledge us and continued collecting. Speaking up was challenging because we aren't familiar with them. My uncle advised my mom to leave to avoid confrontation with our neighbors, fearing it could escalate into an argument. As a precaution, we decided to quickly fence off our lot with sheet metal and bamboo first thing tomorrow morning.
