The original idea for this was not actually the Barriering, but about two brothers who share the last name Barry. One of them formed a town named Barrytown, and the other, after hearing about this, sets up a nearby town named Barriertown.

Barriertown, Maryland is a town in thr US with a population of ~150. Its residents have a yearly tradition known as "The Barriering" where they place random obstacles, whether physical or otherwise, in strategic places to annoy each other. Some interesting obstacles are enumerated here. In 1983, Harry Donalds stood knocking outside people's houses and engaged in "pointless conversation" with them. One citizen reported having a 45-minute long conversation where Harry described individual snowflakes he had seen last winter. In 1989, residents woke up to find sheep on their roofs. It is still unknown who executed this. In 1995, a child named Johnny Wilson brought a grand piano to a central location, and smashed the keys while screaming incoherently whenever someone was nearby. In 2004, one unknown resident covered the entire area of Barriertown with chairs. It took 5 days for all of them to be collected. The exact same chairs were used again in 2005, prompting people to begin destroying them. The chair parts were scattered around in 2006.
