Neighbour smoking a cigarette at an open window in his underwear.

Arrived home to find our neighbour standing at the sitting room window, in his underwear smoking a fag, taking in the morning breeze.
He gave us a friendly nod and took another drag on his ciggie.
I feel a bit surprised.
Is that unreasonable?
Should I have warned him he might catch a chill?

In your house? Shock

You should have locked up properly before you went out Wink

Juiceylucy09 · 25/03/2018 14:56

As long as it wasn't your sitting room window.

I would be a little shocked and laugh.

x2boys · 25/03/2018 14:57

Well he could have put a t shirt but it's his window if he wants a cig its his business ? It's actually quite pleasent weather wise near me .

I've seen people washing their cars in their boxers.

AlonsoTigerHeart · 25/03/2018 15:01

lolaflores · 25/03/2018 15:03

He has an open window in his underwear? Is that instead of the fly fastening?

What he does in his own house is his business , unless he's starkers and pressed up against the pane , just bleach your eyes and wish you had a gun Wink

Bexter801 · 25/03/2018 15:04

Oh dear,I would have found it quite funny..... but if it offends you,just avoid looking out the window

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 25/03/2018 15:05

I don't see the issue as long as he's not naked.

ItStartedWithAKiss241 · 25/03/2018 15:06

Grin My boyfriend does this and I am embarrassed for myself and the neighbours. He does have an amazing body tho Grin

lolaflores · 25/03/2018 15:12

Unfortunately ItSgtartedwithAKiss241, the body attached to the underwear was a milky white carapace holding together a jumble of bones.
At first glance, I didn't notice his lower half had underwear and for a split second I did think he was naked and I think i might have looked a bit startled perhaps prompting his cheery nod, as if to say,
"Its quite alright, I am half dressed"

What kind of pants is he wearing?

lolaflores · 25/03/2018 15:19

Tighty whities I am afraid DullandOld. In his favour, I have to say his underwear was not grubby, nor saggy. Well cared for.
My own husbands would't stand up to comparison.

Bexter801 · 25/03/2018 15:21

Maybe he prides himself on his crisp,white undies and in his mind has a body like Spartacus....

laurzj82 · 25/03/2018 15:24

Perhaps he was trying to entice you to join him OP Grin

lolaflores · 25/03/2018 15:24

Bexter801 well, in that case, I have decided I am a replica of Gigi Hadid and the whole world should gaze upon my silken limbs and carefully chosen lingerie.
I am off to fling open the windows and lounge on the windowsill.
Who's with me?

" I have to say his underwear was not grubby, nor saggy. Well cared for. "

Grin so you had a good look then?

lolaflores · 25/03/2018 15:33

Dullandold I am a veteran of Mumsnet and I understand that to hold a firm position, ones facts must be in order. So, I went back out for another look to confirm the status of his underwear to underline the truthfulness of my post and not sound like a fantasist.
Should I have taken pic do you think?
Just for clarity

Oh that's nothing...
I caught my neighbour dancing but naked on Friday night. He had clearly forgotten that u can see straight through net curtains when the lights are on. I phoned him in stitches and told him to shut his curtains while blatantly standing at my gate. He cant look me in the eye & I now know that my neighbour is rather fit so it's all good 😂😂

DullAndOld · 25/03/2018 15:35

Grin @ lola

"Should I have taken pic do you think?"

Definitely

tierraJ · 25/03/2018 15:36

I have 3 male neighbours who like to show off in their boxers.

Just why??

Bexter801 · 25/03/2018 15:37

@lolaflores that's the spirit,dont forget the nod Wink

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 25/03/2018 15:40

I'm thinking this sort of thing.

tierraJ · 25/03/2018 15:41

One of them puts the light on in the bathroom opposite my kitchen window every time he showers.
I try not to look as he's about 20 and it feels wrong.

One is a bullying slob & he's married. He takes in my parcels & answers the door in his boxers.

One is divorced, 43 & quite fit but I find his attitude to women a bit questionable otherwise I'd be in there ahem.
I look after his cat when he's away & when I call round to get the keys he's often... yes, in his boxers!

When I'm relaxing at home I'm fully dressed in my pjs or usual clothes ffs!

tierraJ · 25/03/2018 15:42

I like the pic
