A WOMAN has taken to Reddit to seek help after revealing her elderly neighbour won't leave the family alone over their hedge.
The furious mum took to the popular chatting forum to explain the unfortunate situation she'd found herself in with an elderly woman living next door.
At first, after moving in around January, things were off to a great start – both neighbours were friendly and even went round for a cuppa and a chat.
Given she was of age, the neighbour asked the couple for their numbers in case of an emergency, and later on, the woman's daughter added the two to her emergency line.
This, she explained, meant that if neighbour pressed emergency button it would come straight to them and the company would call asking the couple to check on her.
However, despite the rather promising start, things then took a sharp turn – for the worst.

''Since then she has become rather crabby, taking issue with our jasmine hedge, first requesting we cut it down – I say no, 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’, he also said no to taking it down but compromised that our shared handyman will cut it back on her side completely at our cost any time.
''Next day, I hear handyman in her garden, she lies and says we said to cut the hedge down…he doesn’t believe as she had asked him to tell us to cut it down when we first moved in, guess what, the answer was no!
''We like it and it adds privacy between gardens,'' the mum wrote in the post.

As she then went on to explain, it's not just the hedge situation that's caused tension between the two – the emergency line has only added to the frustration.
''We have a newborn and the phone has gone twice in a week for an emergency, one was an accidental push and today it turns out she fell.

''She had double locked the door so my husband couldn’t enter, we had paramedics scaling our garden wall to get in as well as the fire brigade, my dog is going mental as they come through the house and baby is screaming.
''They finally get access and leave 3mins later as she is fine,'' the agitated woman penned.
Although the mum found it difficult to say ''no'', she revealed she has since been removed from the emergency contacts list.
Fellow Redditors were quick to rate her as NTA (Not the A**hole) in this situation and many were baffled as to why the neighbour's daughter put them on the list without consulting first.

One speculated: ''Neighbor's daughter put you on the emergency list to deal with her mother because she was tired of doing it and got fed up.''
