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

[HarrietSchulenberg]

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?

My friends downstairs loo has no blind. I hate peeing there as I don't trust the privacy glass.

Infact, at night I piss in the dark as daren't turn the light on and show her neighbours everything.

my sister has one of those new houses with the toilet right next to the front door. SHE doesnt have a blind or frosted glass....derty mare

ops lol! My bathroom has a huge window above my bath full lenth and I have a over bath shower with just a obscure window no blind. I also always shower in the night time think 10pm + and we have about 20 homes overlook our garden which means they can see my bathroom window! Oh well I shall wave tonight while in the shower so if anyone see's a naked lady waving tonight its me and I dont care haha

Tape 3 laser pens together in a triangle and then point it at her upper arm and she'll think that Predator's come to get her.

Shockers the words in your post merged in my head to make the word "testicular". I wonder why. :o

How can anyone think that frosted glass will keep your modesty in the bathroom?!!

Our bathroom is at the front of the house, so any tom, dick (no pun intended!) or harry can get a good eye full if someone is showering. We have a blackout blind in there instead for the evenings. It's brill. It gives me complete piece of mind that NO ONE can see me naked in the bathroom in the evening.

This thread has made me laugh so much! Got an ear infection so this has cheered me up! :D

I can empathise, OP. Both sets of neighbours in the houses that back onto mine do this. They have obscured glass but the shower is right in front of the window and my garden is only about 20ft long. They might as well stand in my garden in the nude. My study is on the top floor, overlooking the garden and I try not to arrive at my desk before 9am or I'll get the two of them in stereo bending over to get the soap . When I had builders in they were fascinated especially by the neighbours on the left who are hotter than the neighbours on the right

It's been a real education - especially in the fact that obscured glass doesn't really work if you are standing right next to it - important note to all readers. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security by your frosted glass. We can literally tell if my neighbour has just been for her waxing or not!

God you absolutely have my sympathy. The neighbours at the end of the garden have their loo right beside their long window (from waist height up) with utterly ineffectively obscured glass. They are both very overweight, spend a bizarre amount of time sitting on the loo, and always stand up to wipe. I probably wouldn't notice very much, but unfortunately the dog has taken great exception to them daring to use their own bathroom, and growls ferociously every time she sees them, thus drawing my attention to their toileting habits. They also don't have a lightshade on their landing light, which sounds like the most trivial niggle ever, but means that the lightbulb shines through any slight crack in the bedroom and landing curtains (as they leave it on all night), so that it dazzles me when I get up to go to the loo (in our thankfully windowless bathroom ).

Lol at the laser pen suggestion and the growling dog!

Haven't had such a giggle in ages.

to all!

Cant you just laugh at them? Like on friends - naked fat guy or whatever he was called. Invite some friends round, get tiddly, when someone goes to pee all stand at the window laughing at the top of your lungs so they can hear you. Once they see you laughing you can then start pointing. Might shame them into submission? Don't be British about it!! Be crude.!!

I never realised privacy glass was practically useless-now I will have to remember to shut my bathroom curtains.

Just don't look up ffs!

Our privacy glass is crap too. It's got little flowery dot type things on it that don't really hide anything. You look a bit fuzzy though it but are still clear enough that everyone would be able to tell exactly what you were doing in there and what you were or we not wearing while you did it.

We have a blind though, and we use it.

How can anyone think that frosted glass will keep your modesty in the bathroom?!!

um - ok - I'll ask. If frosted glass isn't to stop being able to see through it what is is for ?!

I know there are different levels of obscurity you can choose. But they are all ugly and if they don't stop seeing then why bother ?

My house backs on to another, there's approx. 50ft between us.

How can you see every hair on their furry backsides from a 50ft distance? That's a fair distance

No seriously SoEmbarassed - 50 ft isn't a big distance. That is about how far my neighbours are away from us at the back and we can see everything

I happened to catch a glimpse of my neighbour having his back waxed right in front of the kitchen window the other day. I've seen all sorts when closing my curtains at night (something they don't do grrr) and I make a point of never looking out of my windows cos I never know what sight I'm going to see next

Yes I think laughing is the only way to go. Blacklashes, we can't really avoid seeing them - I stand at my kitchen sink doing the dishes and look out of the window and there they are. Run upstairs past the window on the stairs and there they are. Go and sit at the desk in the study -there they are again . The only place we can't see them from, ironically, is our bathroom window which faces directly into theirs because I got clued up and got a blind installed. My children are always calling out "Mummy, it's the nudey neighbours again" and we just laugh.

When I first moved in it worried me a bit because it's a bit odd to see complete strangers in the shower every day. I wondered about dropping a note to let them know how visible they are. But decided not to bother and just treat it as one of the surprising features of my house . My neighbour has the exact same problem and has seen her nudey neighbour with a series of different men in the shower. You have to pay good money for that you know.

Could you not do a Bill Oddie and encourage people to sit in your garden each evening and count the number of visitors and pin the results on the garden gate. Call it shitwatch and produce a look and tick chart for the DC to join in.

You may well be lucky enough to see a ginger minger or a red spotted phallus if you are very fortunate.

FWIW where we park to drop the DC at school there is an elderly couple who do naked callisthenics in full view of the street. It's very encouraging to know they are lithe, flexible and apparently made up of all the bits left over from making sausages.

Where we used to live, we had a retired neighbour who mowed the lawn in his back garden in the nude. It was not a pleasant sight from either elevation. Pity he didn't look like Mel Gibson, I could have sold tickets and we'd have sold the house for a fortune.

Strange, the sitting room had 2 8ft wide windows, one of them down to floor level, and the curtains were always closed in the afternoons. God knows what they got up to then.

All I can say is.... thanks fuck I live in the arsehole of nowhere and have no neighbours :o

Uurgh..to be honest double urrghh.. if you have kids. Please dont film them though..that would potentially be an offence, almost certainly if it were distributed.

I think that modern glass is a bit more whatsit.. "opaque" - get me, the scientist. Back in the day you would be in the bathroom for a matter or seconds with mob cap and housecoat on..no matter what..and it was so freaking cold you had a bath by the fire.

Like farely I back onto the graveyard. My neighbours are dead quiet and I can freely pee and do my naked yoga without fear.

I have giggled my way through this lot.

My ex-H used to open the front bedroom curtains every morning naked and state loudly "Morning World". I think it was some sort of a "marking territory" thing without the wee.

Quite tame really.

You have my sympathy but I am also slightly jealous in a twisted way .....
