NC for this one..
I live in a terraced house in a popular and friendly part of London. The sort of place that nothing bad happens (well actually that's not true based on recent news, but we all like to pretend otherwise). Our house backs onto all the other houses on our block, and from our first and second levels we can see into the kitchen of some houses where the neighbours don't use curtains or blinds.
A few months ago one of the houses was renovated by a family, who moved out. There is now about 4/5 young men living there, but the house is still for sale. I assume they are renting short term.
They have turned their fancy shiny new kitchen into some sort of computer den. There is a row of mac computers along the kitchen island, and I kid you not but they spend probably 9am in the morning until 5AM straight, on their computers. I see them there when I get up for the loo throughout the night.
Rubbish piles up around them throughout the week, but they do empty it on bin day.
I can't see what they're doing clearly but I don't think it's coding or gaming (I work in IT). They have bright colourful screens up all the time- kind of like cctv but not images of camera footage, just of colourful pictures.
AIBU to have a range of conspiracy theories about who they are and what they are doing? Maybe that they're hackers trying to bring down a major corporation? Or perhaps they're running an illegal website? Spying on their neighbour's internet usage (maybe that's why my internet is so slow)? Dodgy finance traders?
Or maybe they're just doing some sort of start up and trying to make the big time?
Or maybe there is something more sinister?
What would you think? And AIBU to wonder what they are up to during their epically long days?
