The mum, who is anonymous, decided to take to to ask other parents if she was being unreasonable about wanting to plot against them.
She titled it: “Help me annoy our neighbours.”
The mum continued: “I don’t say this lightly but we have the most truly horrible couple (‘young professionals’, although they don’t act like it) that I have ever met living beside us.
“Even since the day that we moved in they have completely blanked us, anytime I have simply waved over or said ‘good morning’ I get ignored.

“In the four years that we have lived here neither of them have ever even made eye contact with me.
“It is bizarre and I have no idea what their problem is.”
The mum feels insecure living next to them due to their flashy items they own.

The mum revealed that she has gone through a messy divorce and is currently living in her home with her daughter.
She continued: “They have constant, wild parties going on into the small hours.
“It’s a 1930s semi with very poor sound insulation - we hear everything.”
The mum explained that she went around and politely knocked on their door one Friday night as her daughter had just had an operation and needed to sleep.
She wrote: “The door was slammed in my face.”
Another bugbear of hers is how her neighbours park their car.
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
The mum said: “Their Range Rover (definitely heavily financed) is constantly parked right over the pavement, forcing buggies and wheelchair users onto the busy road.”
She finished the post by asking others for advice on how to deal with her neighbours.
The mum wrote: “They are vile people and I want a petty yet harmless way to get my own back when we move out in a few months. Any ideas?”
In less than 24 hours of the post going up on the site, the mum was inundated with comments from other parents.

One suggested: “A speaker up against the wall blasting annoying sounds?
“Banging something heavy against the wall of a room you know they are in?”
Another advised: “Report them to the out of hours council noise enforcement team every time they have their wild parties.
“I've had to do that to my noisy neighbours with dogs and it's finally seemed to be working.

“Also don't smile or even look their way when you pass them. They're rude to you so you don't owe them anything.”
A third added: “Throw bird seed or similar near and over their Range Rover! See how they like the white and yellow splats.”
