Many urged this man to call the police and report the situation to the council CAM OFF IT I moaned at my neighbour for his security camera looking into my garden & he add ANOTHER one – it feels like Big Brother Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DO you think you've got neighbours from hell? Well, prepare to be stunned as a frustrated man gets candid on his latest 'creepy' ordeal. A stunned man from the UK has recently revealed that after relaxing in his garden, he noticed his neighbour had a security camera which was pointing directly into his outside space.

But much to his surprise, rather than simply move the camera or point it in another direction, his 'neighbour from hell' decided to install a second camera. Posting on social media, the content creator shared a short clip as he sat in his garden, giving his followers a close-up look at his neighbour's motion detector device. Alongside the clip, the man attached an audio that said: 'Ask our neighbour to respect our privacy - his solution? More surveillance. 'Welcome to the reality show I didn't sign up for.' Not only this, but the man, who feels like he's on Big Brother, then wrote: 'When you politely ask your neighbour not to film in your garden, so he naturally installs a second one.' As well as this, in another video, the man zoomed in on the security camera and asked: 'Is this weird or is it me? The only thing he can view is me in my garden.' As he showed off his outside area, which was being spied on by his neighbour, he fumed: 'Here I am, sat in my garden and look at that there - staring right at me.' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @scoobz_13, has clearly left many gobsmacked, as in just three days, it has quickly racked up 99,100 views, 1,073 likes and 307 comments. Social media users were horrified by the neighbour's camera and many flocked to the comments to share their advice. Moment mystery 'neighbour from hell' stuffs POO through letterbox & smears paint stripper over cars in 'calculated' plot One person said: 'Report it to the police and council!' Another added: 'Call the police and ask them if you can do anything about it.' Ask our neighbour to respect our privacy - his solution? More surveillance TikTok user A third commented: 'Not on him reported and you could get damages for disturbing your peace.' As well as reporting the incident to the police and the council, others were eager to reveal recommendations on what to do in the meantime. 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 One user advised: 'If it's a WiFi cam you can get a WiFi blocker.' A second penned: 'Use a mirror to reflect light into the lens." Whilst someone else wrote: 'Are they clothes lines going across the garden? If not, put one high up along the fence and hang sheets.'

We live in scenic Scots beauty spot but our lives are being made a misery by dirty campers who rave & ask to use our loo
One visitor compared the filthy site to Skid Row 'ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE' We live in scenic Scots beauty spot but our lives are being made a misery by dirty campers who rave & ask to use our loo Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOCALS living near a scenic beauty spot have slammed dirty campers who litter and party throughout the night. Residents at Loch of Clunie in Perthshire claim unruly visitors have taken over the popular site, turning it into a "music festival". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Residents at Loch of Clunie claim unruly visitors have taken over the popular site Credit: Friends of Clunie Loch Group 3 Campers turn up at the loch armed with generators, gazebos and a flatbed truck Credit: Friends of Clunie Loch Group 3 One visitor compared the dirty site to Skid Row in Los Angeles Credit: Friends of Clunie Loch Group Revellers are said to constantly blare music and physically and verbally assault locals, the BBC reports. Campers even turn up at the loch armed with generators, gazebos and a flatbed truck with its own fresh water supply. Locals have also reported incidents of nudity and say the area is littered with hypodermic needles. Emma Crichton told how the behaviour makes her "miserable" and worries about selling her home due to the problems. She fumed: "Earlier this month, there was a flatbed truck with a fresh water supply on it for three generations of campers who were there for 10 days with a generator with loud music. "I have people wandering into my garden asking if they can park there, people coming in and asking if they can use my loo. "We have people having raves, it's like a music festival. "I'm not a shrinking violet. I like a drink and I like loud music, but it's intolerable and I don't feel safe." "I bought that house because it's in a very beautiful area. I really considered selling up, but I can't lie to people. "It's absolutely insane that there are no consequences for these people." Brazen camper pitches up tent outside home on NC500 Meanwhile, another visitor compared the filthy site to Skid Row in Los Angeles, known for its violence and drug activity. Taking to the Loch of Clunie Facebook page, he said: "Drunks everywhere - one or two being quite aggressive. "Rubbish everywhere. Maybe half a dozen cars abandoned with parking tickets on them. Stayed for five minutes and left." Strathtay Councillor Ian James described the situation as an "absolute nightmare" for locals. He said: "Every weekend, actually most of time in summer, we're getting inundated with people who are pitching up with their vehicles, pitching tents and just leaving the place in an awful state when they've left. "They're putting up with loud music and drunken behaviour. Although it's a beautiful area, it's just not a nice place to be when it's like that." Perth and Kinross Council was approached for comment.
