 It's always a positive when you move into a new house and hit it off with your neighbours, as it's nice to avoid those common arguments between people living next door to one another. But one mum has now discovered that just because your neighbours start off friendly doesn't mean they'll stay that way, after the elderly woman who lives next door to her and her husband became too much to handle. The woman explained she and her husband agreed to give their neighbour their phone numbers in case of emergency when they first moved in, but that soon escalated to a point where the couple is now on the woman's emergency line so that they can be contacted if anything happens to her while she's in her home. The woman's neighbour is 'nosy' and 'demanding' (stock photo) ( Getty Images) Now, the neighbour has become "crabby" and "demanding", and the woman is beginning to regret her decision to be kind. In a post on Reddit, she said: "My husband and I moved house in January and our new neighbour is elderly. To begin with she was friendly, as were we, and we went round for a brew and a chat. "She asked for our numbers in case of an emergency which was fine, but fast forward and her daughter messaged out of the blue giving me access to an emergency key [to the woman's house] and adding us to her mother's emergency line. This means that if our neighbour presses the emergency button [in her house] it comes straight to us and the company calls asking us to check on her. "Since then she has become rather crabby. She has taken issue with our jasmine hedge, and first requested we cut it down. I say no, and she storms off. She rings round another evening demanding my husband come look at the hedge, I eavesdrop to hear her saying 'your wife said no'.){kind=link}
