My neighbour spent all day in tears after claiming I’d cut ivy from HER side of the fence – now she’s on the warpath

A WOMAN has told how her neighbour was left in tears after claiming she'd cut 20-year-old ivy from her side of the fence.

The anonymous woman, who is from the UK, took to Reddit and explained how while she was at work, she asked her dad if he'd be able to trim the ivy and weeds that were growing in the back garden, to which he agreed.

She continued: "I went to work, my dad messages me and tells me he’s done it.

I got home and went into the garden to check out the work."

My next door neighbour came out and told me in no uncertain terms that my dad had cut ivy from their side of the fence as well and he’d pulled it out by the roots."

She said she’d spent 20 years growing it in the way she wanted it to be."

"Her husband said she’s been crying all afternoon."

The woman went on to say how she'd apologised and said it wasn't her intention and admitted that it was her fault for not communicating what she wanted correctly to her dad.

"I just wanted the weeds pulled out and the ivy trimmed back as it was starting to grow up through the paving slabs," she added.

Anyway, they were very upset and on the war path."

As a gesture of goodwill, the woman even took round some flowers to say sorry - but it still didn't make things better,

"She nearly didn’t accept them, then did, even though she said she was still so upset she couldn’t talk about it," the woman explained.

"I hate confrontation and I feel really uneasy tonight now. I’m not sure what to do for the best."

The woman asked social forum users for their opinions on the matter - and most people were in agreement.

"Seriously, its ivy….. it will grow back!!" wrote one. "Don't understand how your dad pulled it out by the roots unless he went over the fence & into their garden."

You apologised, and tried to make amends. They will get over it in time."

A second commented: "Christ, it's ivy. It grows where it wants to.

B******s have they spent years growing it 'how they want it'.

I hope you pointed out that it was coming up through your paving slabs, therefore damaging your property.

Why on earth did you buy her a bunch of flowers? I'd have given her a bunch of the ivy..."

A third wrote: "It seems to me the neighbour is making a mountain out of a molehill and sounds like a bit of a drama queen over a plant.

"I dunno, it's the impression I'm getting. I'd take my dads word for it over a neighbour."

And the fact she was going to refuse the flowers seems a bit dramatic."
