If you think your neighbours are bad, spare a thought for the woman who had condoms and dog poo thrown in her garden.
To make matters worse, the shocking attacks happened after the nightmare residents next door had stolen her parking space and their drunken son smashed her fence.
Whether it be loud parties or dogs barking, many of us have little rows with those who live around us, but one woman has reached the end of her tether with two sets of nightmare neighbours.
Annette*, 47, who had lived in the exact same house for decades ever since she was a baby, claims she and her family had never had any trouble with the neighbours until a rude new family moved in next door.
Speaking with The Sun, e-commerce strategist Annette says she thought nothing of it at first when her new neighbours were 'a bit noisy', and thought they just needed time to settle in.
Annette, from Coventry, decided to keep her distance however when she popped over one evening to let the mum of the family know she'd left her car lights on, only for her to respond in a decidedly less than polite manner.
Things escalated when the son of the family smashed their wooden fence while drunk. Despite this being completely his fault, they refused to apologise or chip in for the £800 required to get it mended.
The neighbours from hell also allowed their dogs to 'constantly' make their mess in her garden, prompting her to just fling it back over the fence to their side. Things got to the point where the family was chucking rubbish into Annette's garden, including condoms.
She initially tried to speak with them politely to get them to stop, even returning the rubbish herself, but to no avail. Eventually, she became sick of being the victim and decided to take action.
Annette told The Sun: “One evening I grabbed a handful of their dog’s poo and wiped it all over their front door. I didn’t miss a crevice and I even shoved it through the letterbox.
“It was a hot summer’s day so it absolutely stank by the time the sun came up. After that all the abuse completely stopped.”
Unfortunately, Annette then had to deal with a second set of nightmare neighbours after a young couple and their baby moved in across the road.
She kept finding nappies in her green bin that hadn't even been wrapped up and decided to confront the new mum.
The mum initially tried to claim the nappies had been put there by someone down the road, and that her boyfriend was aware of who was doing it.
However, when she confronted him, he had no clue what she was on about.
Deciding to take revenge yet again, Annette emptied the dirty nappies from her bin and left them on the young family's doorstep, meaning the mum ended up stepping on them when she walked out of the house the following morning.
Annette told the publication: “I took great delight in watching her wheel her pram into her baby’s own mess. The best part was that we all lived opposite a school and so everyone would have seen her.
“Some people might think my dirty protests were a bit extreme but my neighbours never bothered me again. They thought they could intimidate me, they didn’t think I would fight back and what my choice of weapon would be.”
