Almost all of us will have had a dispute with our neighbours at least once, and it's not uncommon for people to not get along with those living in the house next to yours.
But what do you do when you have particularly rude neighbours who don't seem to care about the other people they share a road with?
That's the dilemma one woman on Mumsnet is facing as she explained her newest neighbours, who moved in around a year ago, have been causing endless problems for everyone else living on their street.
In her post, the mum claimed her neighbours are "loud, rude, and messy", and have caused issues in the past with loud parties, littering, and improper disposing of materials such as paint and oil.

But the woman's main gripe with her neighbours is the number of cars they have between them - as she explained they have three running cars plus two scrap bodies that one of the occupants is working on in his driveway.
She said: "New neighbours moved in around a year ago. They are loud, rude, and messy. Loud parties in the summer where they're out in the garden shouting until the small hours, leaving their rubbish where it lands, a whole can of paint spilt on the pavement and just left, and the husband was tipping paint and oil down the drains in the street.
"He's been working on a scrap car in his driveway since they moved in. When he's working on the car he has loud music thumping the entire time, he will go out or go in the house and leave the music going even when he's not there with it.
"He has tools everywhere, not just on his driveway but scattered all over the pavement too and just leaves them there for days so you have to step around them to get past. He uses various chemicals, spray paint, etc and again they're just left lying around before, during, and after plus they stink.
"This scrap car was then joined by a second scrap car that he is also working on and is side by side with the one on the driveway."
The mum went on to explain that the three operational cars the family has are always parked on the road, but they also often park them up on the pavement in such a way that prevents pedestrians from walking on it.
And when roadside parking gets limited, they decide to park across someone else's driveway instead.
She added: "In addition to this they have three running cars. They drive these like utter d***heads by speeding in the street. The three cars get parked on what used to be the grass verges in the street but are now tyre-churned mud baths where they've ripped all the grass up from parking on them.
"They don't park considerately on these either and will park wholly on the verge so that two wheels are on the grass verge and two are on the pavement so you have to go on the road to get around them. Or they'll park directly opposite a driveway so that you can't get your car on or off without knocking and asking them to move it."
To make matters even worse, they've since had a third scrap car delivered to bring their total vehicles to six, with the mum stating: "This morning a third scrap car has been delivered and squashed onto the driveway with its back end hanging out and completely blocking the pavement."
Having already contacted her council to complain, the mum is at her wit's end and asked fellow Mumsnet users for advice - with many sympathetic posters telling her to keep getting in touch with officials to lodge complaints.
One person said: "Keep reporting to the council. Keep a log of noise complaints, it can lead to court proceedings if the council have enough evidence."
While another added: "They sound like neighbours from hell. I really don't know what you can do about them though. Call the police when they are making a noise disturbance late at night? Probably very little you can do bar pray they move soon!"
