Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/05/2016 (3480 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: If I lean over the edge of my balcony a little bit, I can see the woman on the next balcony suntanning. I decided to warn her about the sun’s UV rays at noon yesterday. What a shock! She told me to “F off” and mind my own business or she would call the superintendent and get me thrown out. I didn’t mean any harm. I only meant to warn her about skin cancer danger as she is a beautiful redhead. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. she should be covering up.
— Innocent Neighbour, Osborne Village
Dear Innocent Neighbour: Skin cancer warning? Hmm. Leaning over your balcony rail to peek at your female neighbour who thinks she’s suntanning in private ranks as creepy. She could have had her top off, but then you’re probably well aware of that. Back off, mister! Keep to your side, and don’t be peeking to see if there’s anything more to see. If she’s smart, she’ll erect an umbrella so you have no view unless you lean over so far, you fall off your own balcony.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: This is for the person who wants the neighbour to move the fence. While it may seem practical to just let the 15 centimetres slide with a fence too far on your property, it may be a problem later on when you want to sell the house.
A friend of mine was selling a property his father owned for many years. The neighbour had also been there for a long time and neither knew that a fence on one of their properties was over the actual line. It created a major problem when the prospective buyer had the property surveyed. It would be best to check with a lawyer before letting it slide. This person may assume liability by not acting.
— Help Over the Fence, Winnipeg
Dear Help Over the Fence: Thanks for the legal warning and consider it passed on. It seems like such a fuss over six inches, but it wouldn’t be the first time it happened in this column.
