Update: my neighbor called my new shed a "big doghouse" and it made me redo the whole roof pitch

I built a 10x12 shed in the backyard last spring and was pretty proud of it until my neighbor Dale walked over and said it looked like a big doghouse. That stung, but he was right, the roof pitch was way too flat at about 2/12 and the walls sat too tall. I tore the roof off and went to a 6/12 pitch with a proper overhang, and now it actually looks like a workshop instead of a box. Has anyone else had a plain speaking neighbor make them tear something apart after they thought they were done?
