is this just legalised voyeurism?

Forgot to say, because I was interrupted by said window cleaners demanding access to my garden, that this is on a SATURDAY when i want to have a shower. Why can't they come during the week?

Depends, did he have a long lens?

GoldShip · 15/09/2012 09:56

Where they actually peering or just trying to clean the windows, which is what you pay them for I expect.

Teamumizumi · 15/09/2012 10:01

The bathroom window was open as the bathroom gets steamed up. I could see the colour of his eyes. If he was really cleaning the window, he would have been on the other side of the (frosted) glass.

So he had his head through the window?

You only have a shower on a saturday? Grin

Sounds like he was trying to see through. mucky bugger. Grin oh well, just wait for them to be done and have your weekly shower then Wink

mum11970 · 15/09/2012 10:20

Just don't open the window till you get out of the shower. I shower every day so it wouldn't really matter what day he turned up at my house, unfortunately it was just bad timing for you this morning and he would still need to clean the open window.

Iheartpasties · 15/09/2012 10:20

oh lord! yuck.

mum11970 · 15/09/2012 10:21

Mind you, if my window cleaner caught me getting out the shower he'd never do it again as the sight is not pretty.

Teamumizumi · 15/09/2012 10:26

Ah, so none of you are objecting to it being at the weekend?

Ps, i shower every day xx

GoldShip · 15/09/2012 10:27

What difference does the day make?

They come early because that's when many people are in so they can get paid. No biggie.

HecateHarshPants · 15/09/2012 10:27

I know, teamum, I was just playing with you Grin

Hmm Well, I don't know know, that would be creepy and a massive invasion of your privacy Grin

but nah, wouldn't be bothered by window cleaning at the weekend.

I wish I had a window cleaner, but the only ones round here have the nickname "porthole pete"...

StealthPolarBear · 15/09/2012 10:29

i assume op showers much earlier on a weekday, know i do.
I still don't understand, did he have his head through the window? Does it open from the top or the side?

JumpingThroughMoreHoops · 15/09/2012 10:30

Do window cleaners only work 5 days a week?

mayorquimby · 15/09/2012 10:31

Sounds like your own fault for "making your tits available."

HecateHarshPants · 15/09/2012 10:32

Is that a joke?

GoldShip · 15/09/2012 10:32

:o at mayorquimby

One has to expect these things, don't you know

GoldShip · 15/09/2012 10:32

hecate I think they're referring to the Kate Middleton topic

HecateHarshPants · 15/09/2012 10:34

Oh, I see. I haven't been following all that so I didn't know if it was some sort of joke I was missing. Clearly it was Grin

StealthPolarBear · 15/09/2012 10:42

Ah...I wonder if this whole thread is about that

mayorquimby · 15/09/2012 10:46

Well if she's receiving any sort of benefits (child benefits or even a tax cut in anyway) aren't the public coffers funding said tits?

OP sorry for derailing piss-take. if this isn't a satirical thread then yanbu

StealthPolarBear · 15/09/2012 10:50

Very good point. If we taxpayers are funding the OP in any way then she should expect her naked body to be photographed. And really, if you leave a window open then what do you expect?

Teamumizumi · 15/09/2012 10:59

I am taking DS swimming somwill be back later. Xx not on benefits, don't even get taxcredits. Does child benefit count (while it lasts) lol

OP posts:
HecateHarshPants · 15/09/2012 11:14

They're not actually asking if you're on benefits, Tea.

They're on about Catherine Middleton.
