Is it no longer rude to stare?

[MotherOfFeralChild]

People of a certain age (50+) stare at our house and I find it really rude. We live in a building that has been 'repurposed', so I understand people might be curious. Some knock on the door and have a chat about it, which is lovely. Others just stand and stare. I was painting a window the other day, when a man walked past slowly with his dog, staring at the front garden. When he realised I had seen him, he looked quite annoyed with me and said something I couldn't hear. The outside looks like a builder's yard and some people stop for long conversations and point to various pallets of materials. Why are people so rude?. Wibu to tell them all to feck off? It's like living in a bloody goldfish bowl.

So you picked a building that was lovely, that you liked and went to the rouble of converting it.

And are fed up that people also like looking at it.

We live on a new build estate. People are in and out of it all the time looking at the houses. Both lived in and the newest ones. We bagged the one with a huge garden and people always point it out as the walk past. I feel very 'meh' about it

I hear George Clooney has been sniffing about and he's looking to make a sequel to THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS

OP not coming back then?

FWIW, the peasants people could stare at my house all day long and I would turn not a hair.

If they rang the bell to try to engage me in conversation about my property, I'd set the hounds on them.

Well this is one of the weirdest threads I've seen.

Being pissed off because people are staring at a yoounique house. Little bit odd.

Yes, I would be more annoyed by people knocking and wanting to talk then having an eyeful

We used to rent a house newly built on the site of a derelict cottage, in a place where lots of people walked past. It was unusual for the area - Huff house type design - and people did stop and look. I didn't mind that obviously, but it had big upstairs windows and I did object to people backing up and craning their necks to see over the fence and into the house. Or coming in through the gate for a better look and then just staring but not speaking if I was in the garden with DS1. Very odd.

There are some houses that people will always stare at.

Maybe it's because the garden is a tip?

Jeez pelvic is that starey house for real?

Wow that's given me a case of the creeps!

I make a point of reading slogans on people's T-shirts - the wearers don't like it, so I do wonder why they're wearing such T-shirts in the first place.

We have a bus stop outside our house and double decker busses stop every 15 minutes or so throughout the day. I did wonder when I was on maternity leave how many people got an eyeful of boob while I was sat on the telly as I did often forget to put them away after a day of breastfeeding.

Sat on the telly NerrSnerr ? I hope you have one of those big old ones and not a flat screen, ouch!
