While neighbours have a tendency to be problematic, issues and complaints typically tend to escalate over parking disputes or noise complaints.
However, tension has recently arisen between two neighbours after a mum made a formal complaint about the local resident receiving deliveries at their own home.
The woman approached the local council after the homeowner - who works from home - received lorry deliveries of stock for their small business.
A user of Mumsnet took to the popular forum site to share the awkward predicament between her two neighbours.
She explained: "Neighbour A lives a few doors down from neighbour B. A runs a business from home and has a weekly delivery where a large lorry enters the street to deliver stock."
The woman went on: "B doesn't like the lorry as she likes her kids to play out in nice weather and worries a lorry is imposing some danger towards her children.
"B reports A to the local council. The council investigates and finds nothing unreasonable or untoward.
"A has since found alternative premises to receive deliveries but has outed B on the neighbourhood WhatsApp group.
"A has said B is nothing but spiteful and deceitful as could have quite easily had a chat with A and come to an agreement about any concerns or issues rather than reporting A anonymously to the council.
"B maintains they have done nothing wrong as she just wants her children to feel safe outside their own home."
Seeking advice over which neighbour was in the wrong, the Mumsnet user questioned: "Who is being unreasonable A or B?"
Since sharing the post online, the woman's thread has raked in over 100 comments - where people rushed to comment on the ordeal.
One person wrote: "B can't control the traffic that uses a public road and it's ridiculous to think they can!"
"B was a being a d***," a second agreed "An occasional delivery is not a danger to her children. The road is there to be used for that, not just for her precious kids."
On the other hand, someone else said: "Neither they just have different opinions, although A is a t*** outing on WhatsApp."
Meanwhile, a different user penned: "Neither tbh. I wouldn't like a huge HGV regularly coming down my street and perhaps B felt she couldn't approach A."
