I can never leave my house again

Nor can I sleep. Was woken by noises coming from my back garden. Lay in silence straining to hear. Heard a throat being cleared. Definitely someone out there. I swung my legs out of bed, flicked on the security light while simultaneously pulling up my blind. Except it was the switch for my lamp. I stood naked, confused and blinking for a minute peering uselessly at my own reflection, saw movement in next doors garden, then heard my neighbour (male) saying "fucking hell" and sliding his door open to go back inside.
I've been lying here sweating and mortified for 40 minutes. Shit. They are lovely neighbours. Fuck.

So you are just a weirdo, rather than a flasher.

Grin Gotta focus on the positives.

Ahh, bless you op. We've all got a friend with a story like this, own it and you'll dine out on it for years. As for your neighbour, hold your head up, it's no more exposure than if you were sunbathing.

@mylittleyumyum it does actually exemplify how people feel at being 'caught' in the nude.

Some people wouldn't give a toss, others would.

You've said neighbours are lovely and they would have realised it was a mistake as lights suddenly went on and you were confused. Neighbour obviously nice and showed embarassment.

It's not like you were putting on an Amsterdam red light window sex show or anything!

We changed our dinner reservation when on a cruise so the steward came to turn down the bed when he thought the cabin was empty. Unfortunately I had just got out of the shower and was starkers right in front of the door. And a family were walking past at just that moment. Not sure who was more shocked

I barely slept a wink last night, still got the horrors.

I don't have the bottle to speak to him about it, it would mean seeking him out to discuss it and I can barely even think about it without perspiring.

It felt like forever I was standing there blinking like a myopic owl.

The "fucking hell" was not of the "phwoar" type. More of the "fucking hell what have I just witnessed" type.

I believe flights to countries in East Asia where they have covid under control are still available, though you may have to quarantine for 14 days when you get there!

I wouldn't leave the house, either. Maybe back to back self-isolations?

I’m so sorry but this has really tickled me Grin neither of you will ever mention it again, as is the British way but you will never fail to be haunted by it whenever you try to sleep Flowers

Oh noooo :D

If it helps, I've seen my neighbour completely naked - her dressing gown fell open. We still do the polite smile and nod, no fuss, and it didn't bother me at all - she's just a human.

@Iamtooknackeredtorun

Was the 'fucking hell' said in a shocked way or more of a phwoar? Grin

I've been wondering this. It could be either a compliment or an insult.

Just tell the neighbour the other side you think there’s a peeping Tom in the area. Then if (original) next doors should ever utter a word he’ll be shooting himself in the foot 😂

I read it as shock, as in "oh fucking hell, I didn't expect that!"

Was the lamp behind you or in front of you? Just wondering if he just saw a looming silhouette or did he see your naked form in HD

Oh poor you, OP! Still it could have been worse, Flapjackfairy is probably still having the nightmares. (And I hope your DC is getting better quickly, Flapjack.)
