To not want to see my neighbour's cock every time I look out of my bedroom window?

Because I think I see more of his than I do of my own husband's Hmm

My very unattractive and portly over-the-road neighbour seems to enjoy fannying about in his bedroom completely in the buff. His window is right opposite mine and I only need to be doing something like pulling my blinds up and it's like "Woah, and there's your nob AGAIN."

Other people in our terrace have noticed it too. DH and I have speculated that he might be a bit of an exhibitionist as it's not even like he's naked but trying not to be seen. He stands right in the window with his family jewels out on display most days. I had to pull my blind down yesterday and put my make-up on with no natural light just so that I could avoid getting my eyes assaulted by a stranger's cock.

How should I deal with it? I've thought about mentioning it to his wife, as in "I don't know if your husband realises, but we can see a lot more of him than he probably realises. You might want to close the curtains in your bedroom in future!" or I've thought about drawing a very unflattering picture of said neighbour in the buff and anonymously posting it to him. It would be captioned "THIS IS WHAT I SEE EVERY TIME I GLANCE OUT OF MY OWN WINDOW! STOP IT!" Or I could just ring the police and report him for indecent exposure. Last one seems harsh though.

I'm not being U, am I? It's not a one-oof, it's most days. And it's rank. :(

Lets all move to San Francisco. What a great city. See above.

Digggers · 26/09/2011 20:28

so you're sure he's not shortsighted then?

Portofino · 26/09/2011 20:30

Is there a law about being naked in your own home? Or that one MUST have curtains? I have a fond memory of staying at Center Parcs (Belgium) in a villa that backed directly on to a lake - and wasnt overlooked. I was naked in the living room on Sat am - like you do - with the patio doors open, when all of a sudden, a family-laden pedalo stopped directly outside!!!! Blush I am not sure WHO was more shocked!.

Am I the only one on MN who doesn't look at her available networks list daily? My wireless devices just connect to the right one!

I like the sign in the window idea. Perhaps avlarge nob with one of those red circles with the slash? Like Do Not Enter signs?

ScarahStratton · 26/09/2011 20:32

I'm fairly sure that even the most short sighted plank ever would be able to work out that, if you stand in front of a window naked, you're going to be seen.

RIZZ0 · 26/09/2011 20:33

You never remember...

A long, long time ago you told me you had grown up all alone, with only a yukka or sommink for company.

ScarahStratton · 26/09/2011 20:34

OMG yes. Kevin the yukka. Grin

Digggers · 26/09/2011 20:39

like i said in my first post, not necessarliy. I lived in a flat for a year without realising that I needed nets. I'm not the most reliable for wearing glasses or contacts, I get used to the world being fuzzy and not being able to see that far. I actually get a bit of a shock sometimes when I put my contacts in and realise the things that I can see. I can totally see how it would be possible that an eldery person, in denial a bit about their eyesight getting worse might make the same mistake.

I think there's a weird cliquey "carry on" type vibe about this thread. Not wanting to listen to any new posters with opinions, just enjoying ridiculing old men's naked bodies. Pretty weird. Hope your husbands never grow old.

Heebiejeebie · 26/09/2011 20:45

Case law protects ones right to be naked in the home. I'm afraid you have to avert your eyes and leave the police to deal with harmful things.

vogonmothership · 26/09/2011 20:46

bloke down our street got done for it a couple of years ago, mind you he always felt the urge to get nekkid in his bay window at school leaving time....

OliviaMumsnet · 26/09/2011 20:54
Shock I thought this was the chickenkeepers topic
ScarahStratton · 26/09/2011 20:58

It's not cliquey to disagree Diggers, and your post wasn't ignored. And I can't see where Buppers says he's old. People do do it on purpose.

solidgoldbrass · 26/09/2011 21:06

SO actually you can't see his genitals at all, or at least not without taking a good look. You just fancy getting yourself all in a lather about the fact that he doesn't want to wear clothes, because he is not young or thin.

Digggers · 26/09/2011 21:09

yes there's a possibility that he's doing it on purpose, but there's also a possibility that he's not. Going to the police without first politely letting him know there's a problem is wrong i think. Fair enough if he continues after a warning. Apologies I got the impression he was old from the descriptions.
My first post was ignored, you alone responded to my second. Fair enough you can disagree! But not going to get my knickers in a twist about it, shall bow out now! enjoy ladies

Evilberry · 26/09/2011 21:18

I think you should try the anonymous note first (good if you aren't brave enough to confront) before going to the police.

Also I might be totally naive, but what is it with swingers & pampas grass? A neighbour had loads in his garden.

HattiFattner · 26/09/2011 21:25

snailoon loved the link - especially sniggering at the "city supervisor" called Mr Wiener. Grin

I was always of the mind that you can't be seen through your windows unless you are right next to them or have the lights on."

Yeah those panes of glass are known for their opaqueness :o

electra · 26/09/2011 21:31

Ewwwwwwwww. Poor you. I think he's probably doing it on purpose, I would call the police.

JarethTheGoblinKing · 26/09/2011 21:57

Why do people always have to stomp all over the funny threads?

ScarahStratton · 26/09/2011 21:58

Having Fun is Wrong apparently. Confused

Moominsarescary · 26/09/2011 22:05

No fun aloud! And fancy picking on the poor man with the tiny weener

JarethTheGoblinKing · 26/09/2011 22:15

I am part of no fecking quiche. I hate egg.

LadyBeagleEyes · 26/09/2011 22:21

There will always be someone with no SOH that try's to spoil the funny threads on MN.
And then before you know it the thread disappears.

Pisses me off.
