When it comes to neighbours, some people don't have much interaction with theirs other than the occasional exchange of pleasantries, while some experience nightmares.
We've recently heard how one couple was involved in a year-long feud with their neighbour.
And now another mum has found herself in a position that could cause her relationship with her next-door neighbour to turn sour.
As reported by The Liverpool Echo, the woman lives in an end-terrace property and her home is attached to that belonging to a retired couple in their 60s.
She says they mostly get along fine, however, the man's morning routine is causing issues as he wakes her up at 5:30am every day.

Writing in a post on Mumsnet, she explained: "Our neighbours are a retired couple in their 60s. They're friendly enough but beyond saying good morning we usually keep ourselves to ourselves. They have two small dogs, we have three.
"Every single morning at 5.30am without fail my neighbour walks his dogs past the front of our house and up the road. Every time the dogs bark from the time they leave his house until they're past our house. Without fail this wakes either me or one of my children (three under five) and therefore me.
"I can't wear earplugs as the children still wake in the night but I'm at my wits' end - my youngest still wakes several times in the night, the other two do occasionally and so being up for the day at 5:30 is killing me! I'm absolutely knackered."
She went on to ask if she'd be unreasonable to ask her neighbour to change his morning routine so they don't go past the house every morning so early.
More than 120 people responded to the post, with many agreeing it was frustrating but that the neighbour might not agree to change.
One person said: "How inconsiderate of them! I’d definitely speak to the neighbours and explain that the dogs are waking your whole family up. They either need to train the dogs not to bark or walk them later. What kind of person would think this was ok in the first place though…"
Another wrote: "You can try, but I wouldn't be surprised if they ignore it!"
A third replied: "They are being hugely inconsiderate. Of course you should mention it!"
