From bins to noise, feuds between neighbours can occur over a number of circumstances.
However one feud has sparked after one neighbour threatened to call the council due to a washing line.
A woman took to the popular online forum Mumsnet to explain that her new disgruntled neighbour was not happy about her hanging out laundry outside and said it was 'ruining her view'.

And the woman claims she even complained to the council.
Keeping anonymous, she wrote: "We have a new neighbour who has complained to me about my laundry hanging on the line ruining her view. It's just run of the mill laundry, no crotchless knickers or bondage gear, so not offensive. At first I ignored her, but she later told me she had photographed it and would complain to council.
"I'm not the only neighbour she has complained to - Another about his whistling, which is piercing her ears, having sensitive hearing and she asked another neighbour to keep his windows and doors closed whilst cooking as it made her nauseous."
She added: "It's not just humans she intolerant of, if a bird is singing, she will start growling to scare it away. Before she moved here, we all just dodged along fine.
"Is there any law against hanging washing? I'm not tumble drying our family's wash when not necessary."
The comments quickly filled with people reassuring the original poster that there was no law against hanging washing and that the council will unlikely act upon on the complaint.
One replied: "Assuming you’re not spelling ‘f**** off neighbour’ with your pants or something, then it’s perfectly acceptable to hang out your laundry on your washing line. She won’t be taken seriously at all. By anyone."
"No, there's no law against hanging washing and the council won't have any interest in following up a complaint about it," another reassured her.
"If the line is in your garden and there are no covenants put in place by developers or conditions of occupancy imposed by whoever owns the property, if it's not you, then there is nothing she can do. I assume you are in the UK. If she's complaining about other people it's likely she's going to be "that neighbour". Best ignored, smile sweetly and carry on," a third said.
"I would like to be a fly on the wall at your local council if she genuinely emails them to complain about someone hanging out washing in their own back garden. I imagine it would make a change from the boring complaints about street lights and bin collections", another said.
One replied: "If she owns your garden then yes. If it's because it ruins her view tell her to look in a different direction."
"I’d be straight on Anne Summers for some new undies and I’d leave them out permanently," another suggested.
