A woman has revealed that she accidentally purchased the home in front of her ex's residence.
She recalled the moment she discovered her shocking mishap in a Reddit post.
The unnamed woman shared the story in a thread titled, Mildly Infuriating.
She explained that she and her new fiancé had recently swiped a great home off of the market.
However, upon moving in, she discovered that her ex - who she is not on great terms with - lives directly behind her.
The woman said she found out his address after seeing his name pop up on her phone while searching for internet networks available nearby.
After looking up the address online, she discovered that he and his new partner lived there.
The post was titled: 'Accidentally bought a house adjacent to my ex's house.'

She explained: 'My fiancé and I bought a house together in early November. We love the house. Love the neighborhood. Love the location.
'We haven't been able to move in yet because we are remodeling a few things.
'Today while we were there, I opened the WiFi on my phone and the first one to pop up (meaning the closest signal) was called "ex's wife's name and ex's name" and my jaw hit the floor.
'Like, what are the odds that there's another couple with those names and those exact spellings? Pretty slim.'
The woman then noted that he turned to Google to confirm her hunch.
'I asked Google where my ex lives and, sure enough, it was an address on the street right behind ours,' she continued.
'I looked at the satellite view and, sure enough, it's the house directly behind ours.
'We share a rock wall. The houses are tiered so we can see into his backyard which I hope means he doesn't have a great view of our house. I'd like to avoid my ex finding this out for as long as possible.
