So if you thought your neighbours ' garden was bad, you've come to the right place and may want to think again.
Fed up with having to look at their neighbour's 'stock tank' of "stagnant water', the anonymous user took to social media to expose a snap of the jaw-dropping 'pool'.
Posting on Reddit, on the r/Wellthatsucks forum under the username @kp33ze, the anonymous user uploaded a picture of their neighbour's pool from their kitchen window, leaving many totally stunned.
The image was shared with a caption that read: 'This is my neighbour's disgusting pool. Squirrel drowned in it today..'
The author then wrote: 'My neighbour 's sad state of a pool, been like that for nearly three years.
'Today I saw something moving in it...first I thought it was some sort of fish, but nope it was a squirrel that fell in.
'Went over and let my neighbour know but by the time she got back there the squirrel was dead. She took it out and just left it behind the pool…'
Disgusted by the revolting 'pool', the user continued: 'I asked her to drain it, cover it or at least put something in there to let animals climb out if they fall in.
'But nope, she didn't want to "scratch" the bottom and she is moving out in a couple days... so not her problem. What a charming person she was.
'Anyways. I sent a message to the city, hoping they will send someone, but who knows.'
Horrified by the eyesore, the author later wrote: 'That's the view from MY kitchen window. I wouldn't really call it a garden, it's a neglected wasteland.
'They have let their place fall into ruin over the last four years. It's a shame because in this area that back yard is super desirable.'
The user confirmed that the rest of the gardens in the road are 'much better', with many neighbours contributing 'to keeping the place tidy.'
Fed up with the shocking smell, the author also snapped: 'Smells from dead animals aren't contained to one person's property. Smells can cross property lines.'
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
Reddit users were left gasping by the grim "pool" and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person said: 'That's a stock tank. I've seen them used for pools, but… that's a cup of s**t tea.'
Another added: ' Swimming pool? No, that's a giant petri dish.'
A third commented: 'That's a breeding ground for mosquitos.'
Someone else agreed and penned: "That's a mosquito factory.'
Meanwhile, another user gasped: 'That entire yard is a code violation.'
But despite this, one shocked person questioned: 'Why don't you help them clean it then? What happened to the sense of community?
I had a two-year bin war with my next door neighbour
Gemma Smith and Sophie Wood were engaged in a weekly feud for a year over their wheelie bins.
When Gemma moved next door to Sophie, 34, who is unemployed, in November 2020 they were civil to one another.
Gemma, who is single and doesn't work due to stress, says: 'Sophie seemed nice and we'd stop and exchange pleasantries.
'But it all changed at the beginning of 2022, when Sophie's bin was full and she put her rubbish bag in mine.
'I took it out and put it on top of her bin.
'It fell off, gulls pecked at it and there was rubbish everywhere.'
Both women refused to clear up the mess, claiming it was the other one's fault.
Gemma says: 'I felt so angry.
'There was cat litter spread all over my drive — it was absolutely disgusting and we ended up shouting at each other.
'We were both as bad as each other — we'd walk past each other and I'd tell her she was a lazy cow and to clean up after herself.
'We'd scream insults at each other."
Within six months Sophie had set up a CCTV camera and threatened to report Gemma to the council.
In retaliation, Gemma set up the baby monitor — which can record video — to try to pin more wrongdoing on Sophie.
Then last July Sophie spotted Gemma in tears on her doorstep following a burglary at her home.
Gemma says: 'Sophie came straight round and asked if there was anything she could do.
'We are now the best of friends and help each other out all the time."
'This is your neighbour. People don't care about each other anymore, they just post online to complain about it.'
To this, the Reddit author replied: 'I talked to her, she was very much a "not my problem" kind of attitude. And I won't go onto their property without their permission. So, not really an option.'
As well as this, another asked: 'Why not worry about yourself? Instead of telling your neighbors what to do on their own private property.'
In response, the Reddit author responded and simply confirmed: 'Because dead animals in their pool stink. And then I smell that smell.'
