Would you have a problem with a neighbour sunbathing topless or in a thong bikini in their garden?

That would depend if he had a beer belly or not

snewname · 30/06/2018 19:23

Yep if they are visible to others. Perfectly fine in private.

SoddingUnicorns · 30/06/2018 19:23

Depends how exposed (no pun intended) the garden was. I can’t see into my neighbours gardens, wouldn’t bother me at all.

If it was an unfenced garden that everyone could see into I’d just think they were a bit attention seeking.

Wouldn’t bother me tbh. Being the owner both of a pair of boobs and an arse, I can’t get that worked up seeing someone else’s in their own, private property.

FuckPants · 30/06/2018 19:26

If it was mostly or fully private so that I wasn't getting a glimpse every time I was in my garden I'd think it was fine, if the fence was only 3 ft high I'd not be impressed.

SoddingUnicorns · 30/06/2018 19:27

Is there a fence? Or screening?

NotTakenUsername · 30/06/2018 19:28

If anyone’s windows over looks the garden then it is not a private garden, is it?
Wouldn’t have a problem with bikini in the park though so I’d say that’s definitely ok.
I suppose it’s at your discretion about topless. 🤷‍♀️ They’re only breasts.

formerbabe · 30/06/2018 19:28

It's fine...they're in their own garden. Just don't look.

InTheLightOfTheMoon · 30/06/2018 19:28

The fences are 6ft but could neighbours could probably see if looking out the windows.

Well if your neighbour has a problem with it then it is because they can see it and you really shouldn't be doing it.

SoddingUnicorns · 30/06/2018 19:29

In that case no it wouldn’t bother me. You’d have to be deliberately looking out of the windows to see, so no problem for me.

JurassicGirl · 30/06/2018 19:30

If it was an overlooked garden I'd assume they were attention seeking.

If I was feeling really mean I'd think it was tacky - sorry!

TopDog123 · 30/06/2018 19:31

It's not a private garden if people overlook.

Cakepop9 · 30/06/2018 19:32

I don’t think this is right. I agree with others that it’s attention seeking!

WonderTweek · 30/06/2018 19:32

I wouldn’t mind at all. I might go “oh, someone’s topless” and then go about my day. This goes for all shapes and sizes - it’s only a bit of skin. Grin

formerbabe · 30/06/2018 19:35

Some posters are over reacting. It's fine to Sunday's topless in your own garden. This place is crazy sometimes. The other day, a woman saw her neighbours shagging in their front room and loads of people were saying it was fine Shock

Coughy · 30/06/2018 19:36

On your property and as long as there is a screen in the garden yeah go for it.id still be repulsed if i accidentally saw though but im a prude.

formerbabe · 30/06/2018 19:36

*sunbathe

I am happy to sunbathe in a bikini in my garden but if you go topless then I would worry that someone might take a photo from an upstairs window if your garden is overlooked. So I wouldn’t do that. I wouldn’t care if I looked out and saw a neighbour doing it, but I think the prevalence of smartphones and creeps means it isn’t advisable. There have been threads on here about revolting men taking photos round the pool on holiday (and posters on here who have defended them!)

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 30/06/2018 19:41

Why would you want to, when you know both sets of neighbours may be getting an eyeful at the windows?
You can, in the sense that it's perfectly legal; just a bit odd that you'd want to in those circumstances.

emss55 · 30/06/2018 19:41

No YANBU it's Summer, it's your garden, it's your body, it's your business. Go for it. Life is tooooooo short worrying about the neighbours seeing your arse or tits. Enjoy yourself.

MyNewAlias · 30/06/2018 19:42

Coughy You would be repulsed, seriously?! In their own garden, do they have 3 boobs?

Ohmydayslove · 30/06/2018 19:42
