I can clearly never go out of my flat again!

[Redesul]

I've stuck on the TV for my son to watch while I have a quick shower, usually he'll sit and watch until I get back (5-10 mins), mid shower, he's come in, flung the window open wide and pulled open the shower curtain, I was on full display and almost screaming, neighbour out in the garden reading looks up to see what all the commotion is all about, only to get an eyeful of all my lady parts on full display for all to see , drastically scrambling to grab the shower certain or a towel

I can clearly never go out again :| my son is still in hysterics

It's ok OP. If you're in Emgland, there is a protocol for this situation.

No one involved ever mentions it.

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

Why don't you have curtains? Blocks the light in the summer if nothing else.

[Redesul]

I can understand the no curtain thing, it's a lot of money for sheets you hang on the window. But then I grew up 10 miles from civilization so curtains weren't really necessary

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

I'm looking forward to being able to afford black out blinds! 😍

[MozarellaCheese]

I haven't got clue what button moon, is. I am 42. [off to google]

OP, just watch out to see if your neighbour brings binoculars next time he is in the garden

[RichardBucket]

This gave me a good chuckle! Don't worry OP, Boundaries is right. They will be just as willing as you to pretend it never happened.

My (grown up) step son got an eyeful of his neighbour when he and his partner bought their house. They became great friends after that because it was a bit of an icebreaker!

[Natsku]

Oh dear!

I sometimes wonder if the neighbours behind my house can see me naked because our bathroom window isn't frosted and has no curtain but its high up so they would only be able to see from an upstairs window. Probably they have seen me naked. Oh well!

[Headofthehive55]

Don't worry op, I once showed my manager my naked bottom, quite unintentionally. Made work on the Monday a worrying prospect. He was quite the gent and never said anything.

[youarenotkiddingme]

Oh dear - the old age problem of do I grab a towel or let my soon fall out the window?!

Glad you made the right decision re your son even if you now have to move a million miles away.

If I was your neighbour I'd be more shocked you didn't know what button moon was than seeing you naked.
Perhaps open that conversation up next time you meet

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

My aunt and uncle had to have words with their neighbour because their DD (about 12 at the time) could always see neighbours DS with his GF DTD with the curtains open from her room. 😂

[PotteringAlong]

Woah, woah, woah, back up people...

You didn't know Button Moon? I hope he's enlightened you

It's mostly due to a never ending renovation. I'm loathe to put holes in the plastered walls until I know exactly what I want to put there. I'm loathe to spend lots of money on good 'window dressings' until all the dirty work is finished as they'll get ruined. I don't really want to put temporary stuff up.

Plus I prefer to be woken by natural light, I don't like waking up in a room where the curtains are closed - I just feel groggy. Ideally I'd have blackout blinds that shut the bloody street lights out but opened when dawn arrived. I'm sure they exist, I'm equally sure my credit card would laugh itself silly

My closest neighbours are not directly opposite, more diagonal, and the ones directly opposite are further back. So they can see in, but they'd really need to look rather than just happen to be at their window too.

The actual neighbours are naturalists so frankly they'd be the last people to object, or with the right to, given most of our chats over the fence are with them naked 😁 Them, not me! Doesn't bother me at all.

GingerbreadLatteToGo, a very good list of legitimate reasons. Each to their own. I don't like myself seeing me naked so it's my issue.

[WankingMonkey]

Brazen it out, other person will be as embarrassed as you. I had a similar situation once, albeit not involving a child...just my own scatterbrain. This was before I even had children so I have nothing to blame it on

Very hot day, all windows wide open except bedroom which was shut and curtains closed like usual. Ran a bath. For some reason (despite the breeze going through my house) I forgot the bathroom window was open. Strolled into my bathroom naked and started faffing around chosing various products I planned to use. Looked up and saw neighbour goldfish mouthed and frozen to the spot. I could think of nothing else but than saying 'oh hi, hot day isn't it' and closing the window. It has never been mentioned again.

That's why I don't have any mirrors 😂😂😂

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

That's why I don't have any mirrors 😂😂😂

The window reflects too... Curtains resolve this issue.

[Redesul]

beingatwat how did they take the news that they could be seen dtd? Poor girl though xD

I wish I could get away with no mirrors. But I'd be constantly paranoid I had food on my face

So does plaster dust 😁

Rear view mirror 😁

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

Redesul, I believe they were unimpressed because he was doing it when they were out and he had been told no girls around. 😂

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Sure people might laugh and talk for a short while, but. You're a 9 day wonder. It'll all be forgetting about by next week.

[Redesul]

rearview mirror

I don't have a car :( I guess I could get hold of a rear view mirror and tape it to my head somehow so that I can see my mouth at all times. Maybe I could attach a wipes dispenser to it on the off chance I have food on my face

[GingerbreadLatteToGo]

You could.

I've found not giving a damn so much easier though 😁

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

I always worry about food in my teeth! I take a mirror to work in case of such times.
