The homeowner has forbidden her neighbour and son from her garden after an awkward confrontaion.
The homeowner was so stunned by the demand, which was made so the neighbour's son could play in the outdoor space, that she's taken to the internet to seek advice.
Writing on the discussion forum, the 27 year-old explained: "My neighbour has a large dog and a rather destructive son. [I have a] pretty big yard, compared to my neighbour's, which is almost half the size. "[I thought], 'It couldn't cause any harm, could it?' she added. "I accepted, but I did tell her that her son would have to be gone by the time I was back, and all went well until I got my first cat,"
"In fact, she was inside with a bite mark. I rushed her to the vet immediately, where she was treated and wore some sort of bandage wrap around her waist for the next week or so. "She threw an absolute tantrum and told me that they should be entitled to the yard while I was away because 'After all, you can't just let it go to waste!' I then reassured her of my decision, to where she said word for word... 'Ma'am, you need to leave'."
