WSB-TV reports that Donna Yopp Paul is a resident of Newton County, Georgia, and decided to paint her fence in neon colors, an action that greatly annoyed her neighbors.
The fence is painted in bright yellows, pinks, and blues, with the colors only being painted on the side that faces her neighbors.
"It's a control thing," said Yopp Paul.
"They basically are trying to control the things that I do on my property."

She initially installed a privacy fence to keep her neighbors' eyes out of her property, which was reported after it was deemed too tall under the neighborhood's regulations.
She shaved off the necessary height but painted it in bright colors to reassert her control.
"I don't know what her problem is," said Dick Hopkins, her neighbor.
"But she certainly doesn't have any respect for her neighbors."

For her part, Yopp Paul argues that she and her neighbors haven't been on good terms over the past couple of years and believed some privacy would do their relationship well.
"That paint has a 20-year warranty," said Yopp Paul.
"Within 15 years, if it needs to be repainted, it'll be painted the same color," she concludes.
The clip has been circulating on TikTok, where viewers have left comments of their own, majorly siding with Yopp Paul.
"They started it, Donna ended it," wrote someone.
"Good for her."
"I love this so much," wrote a second person.
"Nosy neighbors need to learn to just leave people alone."
