To put a note through my neighbour's door? WWYD?

Woman across the road has opened her bedroom curtains whilst topless twice while my husband has been alone in the front room. She was looking right at him both times. I suspect she fancies him and is doing this deliberately (she always gives him the hairy eyeball when they pass in the street, but completely blanks me and my son). I think we should put a note through the cheeky bloody cow's door reminding her that we can see into her bedroom, but my husband has asked me not to.

What would you do?

I would ignore. If she doesn't get a reaction hopefully she will give up.

DingDongMerrilyOutOfSeason · 11/05/2011 12:36

Next time your husband sees her topless, get him to scream 'What a horrific sight!' and then throw up on the floor. She should then get the message that he does not want to see.

But alternatively, yes, I would put a note through the door saying that your husband is used to the perfect body you have and that he finds hers deeply distressing. For the sake of his mental health could she please keep it available only for paying customers her partner.

Put nets up your windows.

Ignore, treat her like a toddler who is acting inappropriately to get attention,

MamaLazarou · 11/05/2011 12:37

Yuck to nets!

I told him to mime vomiting next time! But he says he just looks away.

Tell your husband to close your curtains everytime she does it.

ashamedandconfused · 11/05/2011 12:38

bupcakes - or buy nets and post them through her letterbox!

OP - given Dh was alone, is there anyway he would be saying this to wind you up?

Bluemoonrising · 11/05/2011 12:38

Close your blinds or curtains any time you see this. Or even better, get your husband to.

bupcakesandcunting · 11/05/2011 12:39

Nets are vile but it would piss her off no end.

MamaLazarou · 11/05/2011 12:39

Closing the curtains is a brilliant idea.

Nah, it's not a wind - up. Not his style at all. He was horrified!

I´d also ignore.

If she opens the curtains at about the same time-could your husband not be in the front room?

AgentZigzag · 11/05/2011 12:39

Hello, Dave? Grin

I'd be asking my DH why he was staring into her window the second time round.

And why he was looking at her long enough to know she was looking right at him, just how close is your neighbours?

You'd seem a bit of a weirdo if you start putting notes through her door, hopefully that's why your DH doesn't want you to do it.

ashamedandconfused · 11/05/2011 12:40

put a mahooosive poster in your window saying "mrs X at number Y, please stop flashing your tits at me"

Dropdeadfred · 11/05/2011 12:40

does he like it? he has asked you not to mention it..why would that be then? Wink

TheOriginalFAB · 11/05/2011 12:40

Keep curtains shut. Or don't look at her house Hmm.

MamaLazarou · 11/05/2011 12:40

Ahaha, Agent Zigzag - you're my wife now! Grin

The neighbours' house is v close - tiny Victorian terraces both sides of the street.

No, he doesn't like it - she is hideous!

MumblingRagDoll · 11/05/2011 12:42

Just report her for indecnt exposure! I would!

RevoltingPeasant · 11/05/2011 12:42

Erm, no offence, but why is your DH looking into her bedroom? Presumably unless she is standing there waiting for a glance, she is only there for like 2 seconds whilst she opens the curtains?

Maybe I am just a slattern (very likely Grin) but I tend to potter about the house halfdressed in the mornings. I don't stand in front of uncurtained windows but I have been known to dash sneakily past our big picture window if I just want to get to the laundry to grab my blouse or something.

Are you sure it's deliberate?

FurKnickersAndNoCoat · 11/05/2011 12:42

sorry but don't really see this is a big deal, presumably she's just up out of bed and opens her curtains - it must be 2 or 3 seconds of tittage - how come he has timed it right twice to get an eyeful?! if you weren't there how do you know she was "looking right at him"?

MamaLazarou · 11/05/2011 12:43

TheOriginalFab, that is is just silly. Why should I have to have the curtains closed in case some pervy old mingebag wants to flap her knockers at me?

FurKnickersAndNoCoat · 11/05/2011 12:44

god im starting to think its me, i often open the bedroom curtains topless but i'm not hideous Grin

RevoltingPeasant · 11/05/2011 12:44

RagDoll indecent exposure, when she's in her own house?

That is actually really chilling... Surely our houses are one place we should be able to luxuriate in the nude have some privacy!

"if you weren't there how do you know she was "looking right at him"?"

He told me.

"why is your DH looking into her bedroom?"

The house is so tiny and the street so narrow that their house is pretty much all you can see out of the window. Our sofa faces the window and when something moves in the corner of your eye, it is natural to glance up.
