Woman slams ignorant neighbour who refuses to stop using her garden tap

A furious woman has hit out at her "ignorant" neighbour after she discovered he's been using her garden tap for months.

The busy worker says she caught her elderly neighbour red-handed when she returned home after a long shift.

She spotted him washing his two cars, using her water spigot, according to The Mirror.

However, to make matters worse, it was not a one-off occasion.

When the woman confronted her neighbour about his use of the tap, which is connected to her water meter, he confessed he'd been using it for months.

He also refused to stop using the tap she pays for, claiming he does not have his own, though the woman's landlord says otherwise.

Sharing her story in a post to Reddit, the woman said the situation is taking a toll on her mental health.

"I have anxiety and almost had a panic attack after my shift because of this and no longer trust my neighbour," she said.

The woman said she's unsure how she can stop him from "acting entitled to my water."

"I asked my landlord how to ensure that this will not continue happening when me and my partner are gone at work (usually 5 days a week, 12/13 hours a day with commute) and my landlord just said that he will talk to my neighbour about it," the woman explained.

"I bought a spigot lock and master lock on Amazon, I just wish it came ASAP. I just can't believe that people are this fricken ignorant."

She added that she's noticed her recorded "water usage skyrocketed" recently and that "if we go over a certain amount of water per month then we have to pay."

Unfortunately, commenters struggled to offer helpful solutions.

One suggested: "Shut the water off to your side of the house before you go to work. Can't use what isn't turned on."

But the woman replied: "Our outside water shut off is right next to theirs and if they had the tool or wrench they could just turn it back on without us knowing."

She added: "I just hope the spigot lock will work and we won't find it broken off. I really want to keep a good relationship with the neighbours but I don’t put up with b*****t especially when it comes to my money being involved. I just hate that people feel so entitled."
