There's nothing worse than having angsty neighbours - from being obnoxiously loud to even getting into a tiff over parcels. One woman, however, has taken neighbours from hell to a new extreme after their inconsiderate mess has made everyday life a living hell and given her an eye sort out of her back window.
The anonymous woman has accused her neighbours of fly-tipping as rubbish continues to pile up outside of their home - and is preparing to report them to the local council. In the post on popular forum Mumsnet, the woman raged in her post: "My next door neighbours are messy. There's no denying it.
"They let their bins overflow and about three months back they put some old mattresses and multiple other household items in the alleyway we share with around ten other houses.
"I get on fine to say a friendly hello to and don't want to sour neighbourly relations, but would I be unreasonable to report them to the council for fly-tipping?
The woman admitted: "What's stopping me is that they could receive a hefty fine..."
"I'm just so tired of looking out of my back windows onto their s***.
"To top it all off, their bins are overflowing, litter everywhere, and they obviously don't give a s*** because that litter has been there for about a week now."
After she sought advice, users online rushed to the comments to share their thoughts on how the woman should proceed - with shared concerns for a particular type of rodent.
One person wrote: "I wouldn't hesitate to report them if it meant saving my own home and garden from the potential of rats."
Another added: "Yes, you should report. You run the risk of rats if there is lots of rubbish and honestly it's so disgusting!
"I wouldn't hesitate at all, there's no excuse for them creating filth like that, surprised you aren't overrun with vermin," a third added.
"Have you spoken to them about the fly-tipping?" A fourth questioned. "Surely that is the first thing to do if you genuinely don't want to sour neighbourly relations?"
