Spite Fences

There is a story today about someone who placed a line of old toilet commodes, brushes, etc. where a proposed fence would have been, to protest the township's decision not to allow him a variance to build a privacy fence. There were no zoning rules about toilets.

It occured to me that being a fence contractor is one of the likeliest professions to be put in the middle of some nasty disputes... with the neighbors, with the town boards...

A spite fence, for example, is a fence built just to spite someone.

The question(s) is: Have you ever been asked to build a "spite fence"? How do you keep yourself from being drawn into a neighbor battle? Do you have any stories on this subject?
