To think I can wear what I want in my own house?

[Practicallyperfectwithprosecco]

New neighbours and I think they might be slightly mad.

Few weeks ago she complained about me and oldest dd being in the garden wearing bikinis ( not even teeny bikinis ) as she has a husband and a teenage son and they might see us. I tried hard to make sure if I was out there sunbathing I was away from her garden and moved the kids pool so it would be harder for them to be seen from their fence. ( - the only way they can see in to our garden is when on trampoline, their raised patio or looking out of upstairs window)

This morning I was cleaning kitchen in my pjs (vest and shorts so not revealing) dd was stood by open patio doors chatting to me in shorts and a crop top she sleeps in. Next thing mrs next door is banging on my front door telling me I'm continuing to disrespect her and her family by the provocative way we dress! If we continue to flaunt ourselves she will be complaining to my husband!

I wasn't quite sure what to say - I suggested she maybe wanted to refrain from looking into my house over her fence if we were upsetting her.

She is totally unhinged!

I have to say I would be concerned there’s a lad being brought up like this next door to my dd.

They’re fundies?

Definitely take up naked yoga

Yeah she’s batshit. Don’t engage!

Actually print some of these and give them to her in a box

Religious singsong - they invite their friends round and get guitars and tambourines and sing lots of songs that involve clapping. I think they like to think they are a wannabe gospel choir.

I might go and cut the grass today- wearing a bikini.

I want to hear more about the religious family sing songs ! Are they from some extreme branch of a church ?

@ohwhatfuckeryisthisnow

I'm getting a mental image of her and dh bouncing up and down on trampoline peering over the fence with binoculars..

Oh, that made me laugh!!! 🤣😂

I know a few people have said her husband and son need to get help if they can't stop staring at the (obviously attractive) women next door, but I am willing to bet that they don't even look that much at all. It's just that the woman is jealous.

I think they are fairly religious but not sure which one - they spend most of Sunday out of house and sing religious songs as a family when out in their garden- now I could complain about that but I don't.

See, it's this kind of person who gives nice, normal, friendly religious people a bad name.

There's having a faith, and then there's being batshit crazy. And this neighbour has crossed the line into the latter. The fact she said she will report it to your husband, proves that she considers men superior to women.

Play some death metal that should spook them away !

I had this years ago from a neighbour whose house looks over my back garden. Apparently me hanging my washing out in a vest and DH's boxers shorts was too revealing and she was annoyed that her husband would be able to see.

I did this face and closed the door.

They moved out about six months after. Full credit to my under-vest-breasts and upper thighs, I think.

I'm not sure what fundies are but I suspect fun might be banned in there house.

She likes wearing kaftans and turbans rest of family wear normal clothes. Teen girls are dressed sensibly though

She's not the full shilling. Tell her to fuck off and never knock on your door again. The nutter.

Fundies - religious fanatics

I'd be tempted to sit out there (not when they're there with their friends) and play death metal while chanting 'Hail Satan'.

I suggest buying some Burka's to wear around the house. And Burkinis for when using the paddling pool.

I'd seriously start keeping a diary. Religious mania can be a thing.

I should go and buy some saucy underwear and hang it on the washing line

Tell her to fit the men of the house with blinkers and to hide the binoculars. She sounds batshit!

Maybe they’re my old neighbours. She complained about me hanging “provocative” underwear on my washing line! It was laughable as it was just normal M&S knickers which I always hung in the middle of the rotary line anyway, and some Primark slip nighties. Pastel coloured, knee-length, t-shirt material with a tiny bit of lace trim at the top and around the bottom!!

Sorry, link is to a thread when the next door neighbour objected to the OP drying knickers on a washing line in case the kids saw it.

And tried to get the husband to control their wife. It didn't end well for the neighbour.

Omg my neighbours have clearly moved from wherever that was - there can't be more can there?

I’d send your husband round to say to her “my wife tells me you want to speak to me”
Then when she starts complaining about your attire, he can be horrified and say “you mean you are spying into my home , how rude, I thought you went my wife went to work in her bikini and my daughter went to school in a crop top, I had not realise that you were intruding like this”

You have a right to do what you want on your private property, if she’s monitoring you it’s pretty stalkerish. Can you get some nice new flowers for the garden and arrange them to spell “fuck off”? (I might not be the most mature poster on here..)

We're classed as "fairly religious" by most people who know us and spend a lot of Sunday doing "church stuff". However, I really don't care what other people are wearing so I'm going with slight lunatic fringe for your neighbours and I apologise on behalf of us weirdo religious types. (Also, we don't sing songs in the garden.....)
