My selfish neighbour installed a satellite dish right outside my bedroom window

A woman was left fuming after her 'selfish' next door neighbour installed a satellite dish right outside her bedroom window blocking her view. Taking to TikTok, the upset woman, who appears to be from the UK, claimed her neighbour deliberately decided to place the dish in front of her window instead of his own. The clip, posted on @Seewara_xo, racked up more than 1.2 million views, with many viewers suggesting she may have grounds to take legal action against him. Words accompanying the video footage said: 'POV: Neighbour enters his selfish era and puts the satellite dish where you look out, not where he does.' The woman showed how her view of the garden was being partly blocked by the dish - in addition, her window could no longer open fully. The woman also provided a view from her garden, showing the proximity of the dish to her window. She then asked internet users if she was overreacting which sparked a debate online. In the caption she wrote: 'Is this normal or am I overreacting ?' One person wrote: 'If a neighbor attaches something to their house that extends over your property line without your permission, it's considered an encroachment.' Meanwhile, others suggested a more petty approach, saying she should try to block the signal. One person suggested: 'Ok, so here's what you'll do- put some tin foil on your window, across the whole pane. 'Then open it right across the satellite dish. He won't get any reception whatsoever, - then he can move it, his choice. This is level 1 petty. We have 52 stages remaining if needed….' Another added: 'The dishes don't work if they're just a few degrees out, say, if a window accidentally bumped into them... repeatedly... every week or so.' Someone else added: 'Placing a strong magnet near a satellite dish aerial can potentially interfere with its reception. 'The magnetic field created by the magnet can disrupt the delicate electromagnetic field used by the aerial to capture and transmit signals. 'Please DO NOT attach a strong magnet to your window and open it as this might affect your neighbour's viewing pleasure.' She then asked internet users if she was overreacting which sparked a debate online A fourth added: 'Can tell that's been really poorly installed. It will more than likely "fall off" during the night.' Meanwhile others suggested she should just speak to her neighbour and politely ask him to move it. One person wrote: 'Talk to them, ask them to move it, then proceed with the rest of your life' Another said: 'If there wasn't any consent have them move it, state 'property encroachment'.

I'm fuming with my selfish neighbour, where he's put a satellite dish is unreasonable & opening my window is a nightmare

A WOMAN was left fuming after her 'selfish' neighbour appeared to install a satellite dish right outside her window blocking the view of the garden. The upset woman claimed that he had put the device in a spot which didn't hinder his own view outside. 2 On her TikTok account, she showed photos of the offending dish attached to their connected house. She shared: 'POV: Neighbour enters his selfish era and puts the satellite dish where you look out, not where he does." The woman also showed the view from her garden and how closely the dish appeared to be installed to her window. She then asked internet users if she was overreacting to be upset - and it has sparked a debate online. One person pointed out: 'If a neighbor attaches something to their house that extends over your property line without your permission, it's considered an encroachment.' Another added: 'That's on your side lol he can't do that.' And many people suggested ways that she could take petty revenge. One offered up: 'Ok, so here's what you'll do- put some tin foil on your window, across the whole pane. 'Then open it right across the satellite dish. 'He won't get any reception whatsoever, - then he can move it, his choice. Your kids are breaking law if they kick their ball over neighbour's fence, High Court rules after couple sued next door 'This is level 1 petty. We have 52 stages remaining if needed….' However, some people said she take a more mature approach. One said: 'Did you try talking to him about the overhang? Maybe he just didn't realise and you're being a Karen not talking to him first about it.' In the UK, if your neighbour installs something on your property boundary without your permission, you generally have rights to address the situation. 2 This is particularly relevant if the item is physically attached to your property, like a satellite dish on your wall, or encroaches into your airspace or land. The first and most recommended step is to talk to your neighbour as many disputes can be resolved amicably through calm discussion. However, if direct communication fails, you can send a formal letter (ideally from a solicitor) stating that the item is on your property without permission and requesting its removal within a reasonable timeframe. I had a two-year bin war with my next door neighbour Gemma Smith and Sophie Wood were engaged in a weekly feud for a year over their wheelie bins. When Gemma moved next door to Sophie, 34, who is unemployed, in November 2020 they were civil to one another. Gemma, who is single and doesn't work due to stress, says: 'Sophie seemed nice and we'd stop and exchange pleasantries. 'But it all changed at the beginning of 2022, when Sophie's bin was full and she put her rubbish bag in mine. 'I took it out and put it on top of her bin. 'It fell off, gulls pecked at it and there was rubbish everywhere.' Both women refused to clear up the mess, claiming it was the other one's fault. Gemma says: 'I felt so angry. 'There was cat litter spread all over my drive — it was absolutely disgusting and we ended up shouting at each other. 'We were both as bad as each other — we'd walk past each other and I'd tell her she was a lazy cow and to clean up after herself. 'We'd scream insults at each other." Within six months Sophie had set up a CCTV camera and threatened to report Gemma to the council. In retaliation, Gemma set up the baby monitor — which can record video — to try to pin more wrongdoing on Sophie. Then last July Sophie spotted Gemma in tears on her doorstep following a burglary at her home. Gemma says: 'Sophie came straight round and asked if there was anything she could do. 'We are now the best of friends and help each other out all the time."
