Living in an apartment block means that you're always guaranteed to stumble across neighbours - some of whom can make your life a misery.
From excessive stomping upstairs and hearing conversations through the walls - neighbours from hell can really be the bane of our existence.
Sharing her personal ordeal online, a mum sought advice after she is running dry from constant late nights with her neighbours.
The woman pulled the short straw after some people have fallen into a routine of ringing her doorbell - after wanting to get into their building and claiming that they forgot their keys.
To add to the horrifying ordeal, she shared how she's pretty certain that despite the neighbours continuously knocking - she's "sure" that someone is in the flat and could have let them in.

Writing in a post on Mumsnet, the woman explained how the neighbours have got into the cruel "habit".
She said: "My neighbours upstairs have recently got into a habit of ringing my doorbell at night to be let in in the communal door (I live in a converted house).
"I am sure there’s someone in their flat as they have a baby.
"I have my own toddler and the last time I answered I was in my pyjamas looking very tired and my daughter awake because of them.
"They apologised and said they forgot their keys which doesn’t make sense as the door locks after it’s shut which supports the fact that someone is at their flat to open it.
"It happened again a few nights ago, with them ringing it twice.
"It’s just getting on my nerves as they keep waking my toddler who’s not the easiest to get to sleep."
Users took to the comment section of the post to share how the woman should deal with a tiring ordeal.
"If you're not expecting anyone then don't answer," one user suggested.
Another penned: "If you don’t get a lot of deliveries, put a ‘doorbell not working’ sign next to it.
"And stop answering at night when you aren’t expecting anyone."
A third wrote: "Don’t answer and they will soon stop."
