I'm fed up with my hoarder neighbour – she has sheds full of junk, is constantly trespassing & is totally unapproachable
IF you think your neighbours are bad, you've come to the right place and will need to think again.
Whilst most neighbours will argue about broken fences or stolen parking spaces, this homeowner has criticised her 'hoarder' next-door-neighbour for having 'yard sales' by her pad.

Posting on social media, an anonymous woman has complained about her nightmare neighbour who not only constantly trespasses, but is totally 'unapproachable' too.
Writing on Reddit on the r/BadNeighbors thread, a woman who writes under the username @Prudent-Ad7028, revealed all about her 'trashy' neighbours.
She explained that she and her husband bought their house a year ago and have recently been left fuming with their renter neighbours.
She highlighted: 'Our neighbours are renters and I'm also about 90% sure that the wife is a hoarder.
'They're our next door neighbours and the side of our house is regularly used as a lean-to for their junk.
'I've also recently seen her and her two teenage sons sitting right next to our house and our windows.'
Not only this, but the woman also shared: 'She had two sheds, one in her driveway and one right behind her house, both of which are filled to the brim with junk - to the point that there's no way her yard is this filthy and the inside of their house isn't.
'This woman and her sons spend all day every day lugging s**t in and out of those sheds and setting up 'yard sale' tables along the side of our house.'
Clearly fuming with the mess, the woman continued: 'I'm at my wits end, but she's completely unapproachable and any time I try to speak with her politely she ignores me.
'We also don't want to be on bad terms with the people we have to live right next door to, even though I feel they are deliberately trespassing and disrespecting our property line.
Listen to the noise-hell neighbour I live with. Whose blaring TV makes my flat SHAKE
'When we bought the house we were told that our property line ends at their driveway, but I haven't gotten any paperwork proving that yet.'
Unsure on how to proceed, the woman then added: 'Yesterday another neighbour gave me their landlord's number and told me to tell him about it, but I'm honestly worried it'll make things worse.
'I'm kind of mostly venting, but also looking for advice.'
The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble
One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue
Broken fences - top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it
Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway
Trees - complaints about a neighbour's tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating
Bin wars - outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours
Nosy Neighbours - some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others
Reddit users react
Reddit users were left gobsmacked by the user's neighbour and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their advice.
One person said: 'I would get a survey done and put up a fence.'
Another advised: 'Call the fire marshal, that is a fire hazard and they won't play around with that s**t. Especially if you tell them you're worried if their trash pile catches fire then your house will too.
'Also report them to your town's code compliance and your county health and human services.'
Whilst a third recommended: 'Call your city Code Enforcement and complain about the trash, the sheds, the encroachment on your property and the endless yard sales.
'If it's a decently run department, they can be pretty effective. I've seen neighbours call on other neighbours here, and it worked really well.'
