I figured out how to get the neighbors to build a free privacy fence – you just need to garden naked in your backyard
A COMEDIAN has revealed how she got her neighbors to build a privacy fence, all at no cost to her.
Normally, if someone wants privacy from their neighbors, they’d build the fence themselves but she said the hack would put the burden on the neighbors instead.
Nancy (@voice_over_nancy) shared the advice with her TikTok followers.
The content creator revealed that all it took was a little risky gardening to get her neighbors moving.
“Did you know that if you garden in your backyard naked, your neighbors will build you a privacy fence for absolutely no cost to you?” she asked, deadpanned.
People had mixed responses to her advice and took to the comments to share them.
One viewer, who tried out Nancy’s advice for themselves, joked that they didn’t get the results they wanted.
“Instructions unclear – I tried this and now my neighbors are charging a fee to other neighbors to sit in lawn chairs and watch,” they said.
Others agreed that the method would cause the opposite reaction, leading to visitors instead of keeping out intruders.
“My mother used to do that and I would always see one of my neighbors always looking through the fence,” said another.
“I really did this and the man next door spent hours every day carefully pruning the lilac hedge on the property line,” said a third.
Others were desperate for a privacy fence and didn’t care about the lengths they had to go to for one.
“I need a new fence!!!” said one viewer, ready to take on the challenge.
“This is going to save me thousands of dollars, thanks for the tip,” said another.
