Shitty note from new Neighbours after moving in

We moved house on Friday - have had a hectic few days trying to sort things and have this week off work thankfully.

There is one bathroom in the house and this is upstairs at the front of the house which faces our driveway. Next to the driveway is a neighbours house directly opposite.

The seller has taken all blinds out of the property as is their right and we’ve spent today putting some new ones up, including in the bathroom.

Yesterday, a note got put through our door:

”Get blinds for your bathroom, we don’t want to see you having a shit”

The window is frosted but I assume at night with the light on you can see in.

This was obviously from our neighbours opposite. AIBU to say they went about this in a rude way? They could have sent a politer note or knocked on the door.

Figure out how to say "Enjoy the show" in Morse Code, and then flash that message out, open the blinds, and use your own toilet- in your own home- with gay abandon! 😉😂

Omg you are living opposite a pervert!

They actually watched you long enough to know you were having a poo not a wee!!! Creepy.

We had something similar when i realised i could see into the downstairs shower of my neighbour when i was using my cross trainer. I had to politely point out that they might want to put some frosting on the glass as it was a little see through!

Do more shits. It’s the only answer to that awful note.

Mydogsmellslikewee · 25/11/2025 19:11

Nasty bastards. I’m sorry, that would make me feel really shit.

Doggielovecharlotte · 25/11/2025 19:09

Thank you, the lack of common sense and humour of some posters takes your breath away sometimes.

WeNeedToTalkAboutIT · 25/11/2025 19:08

I came to suggest a giant poo emoji for the window, but stayed for the shitting santa.

They posted the note through your door yesterday about putting blinds up? And you put blinds up today?

They’ll think they won.

Oooooh.

JayJayj · 25/11/2025 19:06

I’d post it back with my own note saying “you seem to have dropped some rubbish”

RaininSummer · 25/11/2025 19:05

Horrible people

Lurkingandlearning · 25/11/2025 19:05

Take their note up to the bathroom, hold it up to the window, then wipe your arse with it.

But ignoring them is probably the better option

Discoprincess6 · 25/11/2025 19:04

Weird. They shouldn’t be looking in anyway.

ColaWars · 25/11/2025 19:04

Netcurtainnelly · 25/11/2025 18:56

Terrible advice, Firstly you dont knowits them and secondly how.might they retaliate.

You sound about 12 years old with that advice.
Do nothing OP. You dlnt have to react.

Your neighbours are scum.
Now you know.
Avoid.

Say nothing, but get a window sticker of a shitting Santa for the bathroom window.

This is what I was going to suggest.

lohpetite · 25/11/2025 19:02

Was it definitely them? Are they the only ones with a view in? People are nuts these days, could have been another neighbour who walked by.

Gingercar · 25/11/2025 19:00

Cut out “Stop looking, you perverts!”’in a large piece of cardboard and stick it up at the window, so that when you’ve got the lights on it lights up as a message for them.

Isittimeformynapyet · 25/11/2025 19:00

Someone upthread suggested it was a juvenile who sent the note, and I think this is possible. When I was about 13 my friend and I sent a letter to a neighbour taking the piss out of a statuette on their windowsill. We were a pair of little twats amusing ourselves 😞

IaltagDhubh · 25/11/2025 18:26

Cut out big letters and stick them on the window so that when you turn the light on in the bathroom it reads from outside “STOP WATCHING US SHIT YOU WIERDOS”. Would give you a little privacy until you are able to get around to fitting blinds too.

Quote from the op "The seller has taken all blinds out of the property as is their right and we’ve spent today putting some new ones up, including in the bathroom."

Catwalking · 25/11/2025 18:58

write neighbour a note, thank them for their delightful note & tell them to get blinds for their own window? (also it wasn’t a shit anyway).

also need to add there are quite good coloured film sheets which are very effective for a quick cover whilst minds are made up about what to put in & time found to actually put up! good luck with your lovely new house 🙂

This 100%

You could wipe your shitey bum on the note and pop it back through their letterbox?

You beat me to it.👍😁

WilfredsPies · 25/11/2025 18:51

I might also be inclined to speak to one of your other neighbours and ask whether your seller had any issues with the note senders.

Worth doing. A cat or dog who likes their lawn would be useful as well.

I’d be tempted to squish my boobs against the glass if I found them looking
