to film my neighbours in the shower/on the toilet and put them on You Tube?

My house backs on to another, there's approx. 50ft between us. Their bathroom window backs on to my garden. They have no curtain or blind in there and every time they shower I can see them, plain as day. It's worse at night as they have the light on so I can practically see every hair on their arses when they get off the toilet and wipe their furry backsides.

I tried to ignore it. In fact I ignored it for about 3 years. But last summer I went round and told them that I could see straight into their bathroom, and they might like to think about putting a blind up. I was very "english" about it and probably sounded like a female Hugh Grant. They weren't in the slightest bit embarrased or apologetic, and they insisted that it was OK as they have obscured glass. But, they did say that they'd put a towel up over the window when they were in there. Which they did for a while.

And now they don't. There are at least 3 of them in that house, more when the grown up daughter has her boyfriend to stay. They seem to spend hours in the bloody bathroom - every time I go out to the bin, every time I look out of a window, there they bloody are - naked and either wiping their arses or lumbering out of the shower.

One of them is a dinner lady at the Junior School FFS. And don't start me on the time they had super-noisy sex in the back garden (H and I got the toy binoculars out to see if we could spot them, but they were behind their shed so we couldn't).

So, WIBU to film the bastards and put them on You Tube, or should I break into their house and put a blind up when they're out?

Wow, you must spend a lot of time in your back garden..at this time of year? I prefer the sofa and a steaming mug! Grin

ROTFL I love the OP. (post not poster)

WorraLiberty · 21/02/2012 23:54

My DH shites in the evening cos of the shifts he works

He doesn't shite in the garden though (more's the pity)

thefroggy · 21/02/2012 23:54

Thanks very much butterfly, just spat my drink out!

LaurieFairyCake · 21/02/2012 23:54

Grin viva

Morning shites more satisfying. Dinner has to marinate.

VivaLeBeaver · 21/02/2012 23:56

Ah, I work shifts as well. Maybe it's a shift shite. God knows there are enough shite shifts.

HarrietSchulenberg · 21/02/2012 23:56

Second Coming - I'm not a troll, I'm real - honest! The distinctive hairstyle is on her HEAD - I wouldn't expect any other, um, "hairstyle" to be visible to the school dinner queue.

You know, though, the megaphone idea might just be the way to go. Especially if I put DS2 on the end of it.

This thread is amazingly funny Grin

I can't sleep
Thank you op for keeping me entertained!

thefroggy · 21/02/2012 23:58

But how do you see it? I've only a small garden and I can see sweet fa into my backed on neighbour's house, let alone a rogue pube!

Do you live in Springfield by any chance?

HolyNoSheDittantBatman · 22/02/2012 00:00

Have a garden party and get everyone to applaud each time they catch a glimpse?

butterflyexperience · 22/02/2012 00:01

Springfield!
HA

I am crying with laughter!

MyCatHasStaff · 22/02/2012 00:01

Take some photos and pop them through her letterbox.

thefroggy · 22/02/2012 00:04

I'm a bit envious to be fair, the only interaction i've ever had with my neighbours at the back was to roar "turn your fucking music down, it's 1am you twats".

They did, so I was even more pissed off then, because I couldn't report them Grin

TheSinglePringle · 22/02/2012 00:11

Are you sure they can't see you in the bathroom? They might just be returning the favour Smile

My dad has a man that lives over the road and every morning this man wakes up naked and stretches in front of the window as he seems to not own any form of window coverage!

HarrietSchulenberg · 22/02/2012 00:17

It's not entirely unlike Springfield round here, but we don't have the power plant. Or indeed much gainful employment of any kind other than a large yoghurt factory a few miles away.

Like the garden party idea. Coupled with the megaphone I think we could be on to a winner.

And, might I just add (and I SWEAR this is not a wind up) - a few years back their next-door-but-one neighbours used to shag up against the back window, lights on curtains open, every Saturday night more or less exactly at 7pm. They've either moved or just stopped doing it, but for a year or two it was honestly like living in the middle of someone else's shagfest. Quite depressing when you have very small children and your own marriage is breaking up, but we did give them the odd round of applause if we thought their performance merited it.

If I ever move I might advertise my house on voyeurs.com or something like that.

But it just might work ...

Pornyissue · 22/02/2012 00:32

Maybe another factory needs to open in your town. A chicken one or something.

Maybe people will then be to busy at the factory for 4 hours of naked activities a day

GavisconJunkie · 22/02/2012 07:32

Im with you OP! our nnd bathroom window is in full, almost unavoidable view of our kitchen dining table. Due to slope of street we have an unfortunate view in. The toilet is right in front of the window & they all seem to go naked. The obese wife eats crisps on the loo

They are only a matter of 15ft away. They do have obscured glass but it really DOESN'T obscure very much, just so you all know. It is worse in winter with the light on.

Our kitchen is small & one chair at the table has got to face that way. They are terrace houses, with rear extensions. We put a blind up, but because of the way the light comes in, even just a roller blind, when rolled up fully, blocks about 50% of the light coming in to our room.

We try not to look, we try sooooo hard, believe me, but somehow you get drawn in...

We told them & they shrugged & cited obscured glass too. But seriously a glance could tell you that the mum eats cheese & onion walkers whilst on the loo

Report the dinner lady to her employers as 'undertaking activities unbecoming to her station in life' ??

GetTheeToANunnery · 22/02/2012 07:42

I love this thread! We live in an upstairs flat so when we go for a tab at the back door we get a perfect view of the house over the roads bathroom. They also have privacy glass but it doesn't really work. It's much more fun than watching telly!

I like the idea of a megaphone so you can shout to them Grin

vogonmothership · 22/02/2012 07:45

I have every sympathy, we lived in a city courtyard and over the road did exactly the same. The bath was under the window and we are pretty sure she put on a show, there was lots of elaborate loofa-ing.
Not that we all stood in the garden to watch or anything. Oh no.
The bedroom was next to the bathroom (1 bed house and no kids) and they installed a bouncy castle in there. You could see the turrets bouncing around a lot in the evening

AThingInYourLife · 22/02/2012 08:22

"Report the dinner lady to her employers as 'undertaking activities unbecoming to her station in life' ??"

:o

Yes, there is a by-law covering dinner ladies and the restrictions placed upon their egestion.

I think it's particularly egregious that she does this despicable act with her distinctive hairstyle on view to her peeping tom neighbours.
