To be annoyed about topless sunbathing?

Topless sunbathing on holiday can be just about tolerated. I, myself, have done it on occasion if the General vibe of the place seems totally laid back about it.
AIBU to be annoyed about the woman next door to me walking around her garden in nothing but a tiny thong with her huge fake boobs out?! I don't want to be looking at her practically naked body when I'm wanting to go into my garden. Plus my DP will get an eyeful of her too which will make me feel a bit shit. And whose to say that the neighbour's on the other side of her house two little boys won't get an eyeful too.
People can do what they want in their own homes and gardens, but here is nothing but a very low fence separating us and she is only about 1 meter away from my living room window Angry

crunchymum get off the fence, you perve Grin

Belle1102 · 05/04/2017 18:54

Exactly! If it was a beach where you have to expect people in states of undress then fine. But she was topless and then bollock naked outside my window for a few hours when she knows I can see her. Just found it all a bit weird! But yeah I guess she's a nudist and I'll have no choice but to get used to it or move lol

You need to move to Scotland. It's warm enough to take your coat off up here approximately one week per year in my experience. That or buy a fence.

TheNaze73 · 05/04/2017 18:57

We've all done it OP.

Don't sweat the small stuff

Havanaclub · 05/04/2017 18:58

Buy one of those naked life size blow up dolls and put it sitting on a high chair beside the low fence. Get a mate for said doll too.

Would be hilarious.

Shutting the curtains is fine if it's sunny and you are only watching TV.

floraeasy · 05/04/2017 19:04

Need to change the thread title, since it's now topless AND bottomless sunbathing Grin

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 05/04/2017 19:05

You sound obsessed with her 'bald vag' Confused

Oddbins · 05/04/2017 19:06

I hate wearing clothing
I am always stripping off and we frequently go in our garden hot tub in the nudey
We are not overlooked though

It does seem a bit daft to be prancing around the Midlands in the buff in April and I would probably laugh at her rather than be offended.

If it's real it's a bit mememe needy

Topless/bottomless/thong/bald vag/gardening/bobbing up and down/bending...

It's all happening in Nottingham.

Havanaclub · 05/04/2017 19:08

Ah come on folks, why should anyone have to close their curtains in broad daylight to block the sight of nakedness in suburbia?

I would have thought keys in the ashtray is next. It's a sign!

Anyway, it is not very nice for kids to see TBH as we are not in the sauna land of the Scandinavian countries, or the nudist beaches of Cap d'Agde either. It takes a bit of getting used to really, and that ain't going to happen in suburban UK in reality.

RAISE THE FLIPPING FENCE op, and sorry for shouting. Simple.

ShatnersBassoon · 05/04/2017 19:09

I need a diagram here. I don't understand the shared patio, and exactly how low is the fence? My neighbour would have to go up a ladder (naked) to show me how she'd dressed her pubes.

Belle1102 · 05/04/2017 19:11

what's so difficult to understand? We both come out of our back doors onto a shared concrete area where our wheelie bins etc are (our back doors are next to each other on the same house) and I can see that area from my living room. Just past that area is a low down wall with a gate which goes into her garden Confused

Doesn't sound like your normal garden set up. I am sat in my living room by the window and for all I know my neighbour could be doing naked cartwheels in his garden and I wouldn't know or care. I can't see anyone else's garden because fences.

GrannyHeadology · 05/04/2017 19:15

YABU. Put a bigger fence up if you have an issue with it.

On a side note I'm Notts way and it's t shirt weather at best, She must have thick skin!

Iamastonished · 05/04/2017 19:16

“Live near Nottingham”

Blimey, it hasn’t been that warm today. I work in Sheffield and it was about 13/14 degrees today. I doubt that Nottingham was much warmer. It sounds a little attention seeking to me.

“if topless doesn't bother you on hols, why does it bother you at home?”

Let’s face it, going topless in a Nottingham back garden in 13 degree cool weather isn’t exactly commonplace is it? Not like a beach in the south of France in July.

“But they're just breasts! I don't understand why it's acceptable (generally) for men to be topless but not women!”

I think that is a little naïve. DD is 16 and has a lot of friends who are boys who would love to live next door to this woman. I doubt that any male would hold the same view as you. Most men do sexualise breasts whether you like it or not.

GreyWalls · 05/04/2017 19:16

It does seem a bit odd if she knows you can see her Hmm have you said anything to her op?

TiggyD · 05/04/2017 19:17

But she was topless and then bollock naked...

Another trans thread?

Havanaclub · 05/04/2017 19:22

Ah I'm out of here, get a proper fence up and put on your onesie.

Your neighbour is attention seeking and she has no shame! I have big plastic boobs and I wouldn't dream of doing what she does. In all fairness it is her garden and she's not being unreasonable due to it being HER garden but yes she's being a twat..... gardening & bending over in tiny thong lol... how embarrassing! She obviously wants people to look at her ... she's clearly making herself look like a tit here as any normal woman would not want their neighbours to see up their fanny crack whilst gardening lol. Shameful I agree. Silly woman.

FerdinandsRevenge · 05/04/2017 19:35

Most men do sexualise breasts whether you like it or not

Why is that our problem?

FerdinandsRevenge · 05/04/2017 19:37

Feet turn some people on.

Ban flip flops!

mrscrocopop · 05/04/2017 19:43

I don't think YABU OP.
Personally think it's throughly weird behaviour. Who the frig wonders around their garden naked? Never mind in 18 degree weather!
