To thinkHE should use blinds? Or us?

[elephantsocks]

We have a kitchen extension with bifold doors since we have this done we can see the man from the house that backs into us walking around naked every night as we sit down for dinner. NO Matter what time we eat.
My husband wants to complain to him but I think it's probably his right to do what he likes in his own house and we would just be told to get blinds. ( I really don't want blinds)
It's extremely off putting and the kitchen configuration means we can't avid seeing him.

I don't know what this modern obsession is with uncovered windows. I can't relax at night if I know that other people outside can see in but I can't see them.

My new house has French doors at the back and when I'm sitting watching tv of a night I hate it. I've just got some vertical blinds delivered and I can't wait to get them up. My back garden isn't even overlooked!

Never mind the loss of heat and light pollution. Just get some blinds!

So you built an extension that reduces this neighbour’s privacy. He was obliging enough not to object to your plans. Now you want him to adapt instead of you?

Frosted windows?!

What kind of a solution is that?

Block out your entire view of everything, just to save seeing neighbour's tackle over dinner...?

The man is getting a revolting kick out of this behaviour. Horrible.

Get blinds.

I’d go round and tell him he’s putting me off my dinner. Although he’ll probably get off on that too. Dickhead.

GeorgianaDovesHouse Dramatic much 😂 Some people are just more comfortable being naked in their own homes, and they have every right to.

OP is the one who moved the goalposts and added an extension; this wasn’t an issue before.

Plant a quick growing screen. Bamboo or just erect some willow, split cane screening.
Bit of an oversight to have not checked exactly where you would be looking into before building.

Not much more to add here, other than the OP might like to borrow my username....

We had someone in the flats behind us, 1st floor with patio doors, who would walk around naked. The window was visible to about 8 houses, many with young children. My dh called the police, just to have a chat, and they said they would send someone round to have a chat with him. A month or so later, we had a new person living there (private rental). I don't know if the previous neighbour realised he was so visable. I'm not sure how far being able to do what you like in your own home goes, if you are easily seen by neighbours in their own homes?

I'd post him a willy warmer and say he looked cold

Add a trellis or plant conifers in the garden: & have blinds you leave up but bring down for when you're eating. It's his home, he can do as he pleases.

Poke with him with a long stick made of taped together chop sticks like they do in friends with ugly naked guy!

Sorry OP but this is on you. Blinds for you, I’m afraid.

Mash shower sequence sprang to mind (yes I know its wrong sex)

put up a blind, and on his side write:

WE CAN SEE YOU NAKED!!!!!

Perhaps Its a naked protest because you’ve built an extension enabling you to see into his house?! he has every right to be naked in his house and garden - it’s your problem and you need to sort it out from your side of the property

Either he isn't aware you can see him. Or he is and is doing it to piss you off!

Did he object to your extension? Could you see into his house before it was built?

Have you spoken to him explaining you can see him? If not then that's the first step. His reaction will tell you if he isn't aware or if he is and doesn't care.

The next step is to report him. It might be his house but if he can be seen then it's possibly an offence of indecent exposure. If you have children then you'll definitely have an argument against him doing this.

Put up blinds or curtains, use when eating

Actually I think you can report this action to the police who I understand can give a caution. Might be worth contacting your local police.

If you want to parade around naked but use blinds, fair enough but if you want to do so minus blinds, it's on you.

He can walk around in a mankini or nipple tassels if he pleases, his bloody house

You even admit to it being a problem because you decided to extend your property. Now besides not being very environmentally friendly you want someon else to have the expense etc of fitting blinds or something so that you can enjoy overlooking his property? Takes all sorts to make a world!

Shrill ???? Did you even lol at my replies?

I feel sorry for that poor bloke having you as a neighbour.

@shrill @ lonwhat:
Sorry OP but I totally agree .His house, his space. He didn't know someone would make an extension..
but even so...
