I often walk around in shorts and a crop top at home, I do on and off exercises all day as soon as I get the chance so don't want the hassle of having to change.

My neighbour has just stopped whilst I was emptying bins and told me that herself and DP can see through my window sometimes and maybe I should put some more layers on. I have nets up but no curtains or blinds. Maybe popping out emptying bins in small clothing is U? I've never even considered it!

I am so embarrassed she said something yet so pissed off feels she has the right too. I've gone all self conscious that they are now going to be monitoring my clothing for levels of appropriateness.

So do I layer up or go out naked next time? ShockBlush

Tell her to do one. Your house, your body, your clothes. Nothing wrong with what you're wearing!

Rawhh · 05/03/2018 15:19

Tell her to stop look through your Windows.

KellyBailey · 05/03/2018 15:20

You're putting the bins out in a crop top and shorts in this weather?

Aprilmightmemynewname · 05/03/2018 15:20

Urgh when my neighbour told me he could see me in the garden in a bikini it made me cover up. Yuck.
Shut the blinds before you become wank fodder.

In your own house I think it is fine, they should just not look in your window.

Trinity66 · 05/03/2018 15:20

Tell her to piss off, how rude

bastardkitty · 05/03/2018 15:21

Tell her if you find out he's been perving again you will call the police! Cheeky sods.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 05/03/2018 15:21

Naked squats in front of the window Wink

Oysterbabe · 05/03/2018 15:21

I'm sat with my tits out expressing ATM. Neighbours could see me through the patio doors if they tried. They shouldn't nose through the window if they don't want to see.

Jon66 · 05/03/2018 15:21

Pleased I don't have your neighbours! Totally inappropriate to comment on what you are wearing in your own home. Perhaps her other half is ogling and made a comment?

DannyLaRuesBestFrock · 05/03/2018 15:22

I'd do my exercises naked. Give them something to really disapprove of 😂

Cheeky mare!!

billybagpuss · 05/03/2018 15:22

You're wearing clothes, its fine, we had a friends style 'ugly naked guy' in the house behind us years ago. That was not pretty.

lils888 · 05/03/2018 15:22

@KellyBailey

I was half way through weight training when ds3 exploded poop everywhere, cleaned him up then ran the nappy bin out as it stunk.

The fresh, crisp air actually feels amazing when your in a sweat

Naked next time :),then stand outside their window for few minutes a day,and when they complain....just say you thought that's what neighbour's done :/

Birdsgottafly · 05/03/2018 15:23

I often don't have clothes on and will go out in my underwear to get something off the washing line, put something in the bin etc.

If anyone objects they can look in the other direction.

frasier · 05/03/2018 15:24

I wonder whether NDN is annoyed that her DP is watching you...

bastardkitty · 05/03/2018 15:24

Do a flyer for the whole neighbourhood warning people there's a voyeuristic sex pest at number 69...

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 05/03/2018 15:25

I don't understand her problem. You're wearing clothes! For your own privacy you might want to put curtains up though. Stop nosey Nora from spying on you.

Nocabbageinmyeye · 05/03/2018 15:25

Definitely naked lunges in future, what a gobshite

lils888 · 05/03/2018 15:26

I don't like the idea of them watching me, you'd have to really be wanting to look to see in. I've finally gotten to an amazing body confident point in life and now I'm being told to hide it. It's exercise shorts and a sports crop top, not crotchless red undies

I work 6 hours a day for this body. Naked squats it is Grin

Gosh - shorts and a crop top is fine. To be fair, even if you were prancing around in a thong and sexy bra, what you wear at home is your business surely?

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 05/03/2018 15:28

I bet Frasier is right. She's probably miffed that her H can see you. If you don't want to put curtains up just carry on with your routine, you're not harming her or anyone else.

FoofFighter · 05/03/2018 15:30

You work out 6 hours a day?

ReanimatedSGB · 05/03/2018 15:30

A crop top and shorts is not a remotely indecent outfit, tell them you will dress as you like in your own home and they can look elsewhere.

GnotherGnu · 05/03/2018 15:31

6 hours a day? That must be incredibly tedious.
