While its origins aren’t exactly clear, people have been pranking folks on April 1st since at least the middle ages.

One man recently reached out to Reddit looking for advice after he found out just how closely his wife had been monitoring him.

If you’re one of the people who love thy neighbor, consider yourself lucky. One survey found that 48% of people only interact with their neighbors once a month or less, and nearly a third rarely interact with them. Many will go to great lengths to avoid seeing the person or people next door at all. One way to distance yourself and enforce boundaries is to build a fence. But sometimes it creates even more drama. Especially if your annoying neighbor takes issue with the building plan.
