To clean with boobs out?

NC for this absolutely mortified.

Got up after a night shift yesterday and cracked on with some cleaning which I think is impressive in itself. Didn't see the point in getting dressed only to get all sweaty so kept my PJs on, which for me is PJ bottoms and a strap top.

Anyway, day off today and had a note through the door saying
"Can you please dress more appropriately for activities like cleaning. My husband and I were very uncomfortable with your display yesterday "

Now, admittedly I am very well endowed in the boob area (100% not a stealth boast, they literally get on my tits and I'm hoping to have a reduction once we've finished having kids) and the girls did pop out a few times. It wasnt a very supportive or concealing top as it's been retired from my wardrobe and relegated to the pajama drawer. 😳

I am absolutely mortified and want to find a way to apologise, but the note was anonymous!

DH fell about laughing and said that I have every right to dress how I wish in my own home and if they don't like looking at me they have every right to look away.

Thing is though, I'm now thinking of all the times I've wandered around naked after a shower waiting for cream to soak in or fake tan to dry! I've never thought twice about it!

The shame. The deep deep shame.

boobs dont just jump out of clothing from Ample boob owner.

I presumed OP was leaning forward, doing dusting, making beds or whatever and in a loose cami top. I'm not majorly endowed but could easily see that happening quite easily.

From now on, clean naked and garden in said strappy top and hot pants.

I mean that note is just rediculous. They have no right whatsoever to comment on what you wear to clean in.

mbosnz · 28/07/2020 21:51

Yeah, boobs really can just leap out. If you have plenty of 'em.

crosshatching · 28/07/2020 21:54

Boobs can be unruly critters, perfectly capable of causing a ruckus and escaping their confines Grin

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 28/07/2020 21:56

BiscuitBiscuit! And that's from a lady who's had a single mastectomy. They should stop looking!

Bargebill19 · 28/07/2020 21:57

Hubby has just reminded me of the time I spoke to a builder - one boob in and one boob out. I was wearing a strappy t shirt at the time and had just stood up from weeding.....
now the boobs are used more as garden kneelers than for flashing innocent men.
You are not alone.

Just catching up with the comments, some amusing suggestions.

@MiniMum97 I've just watched Unexplained Mysteries on Netflix and now I'm twitched Shock

@Burnthurst187 Grin amazing. That would make for some interesting cleaning.

@Lookyloo if you read my posts I think you'll find I actually said I looked UNappealing. Greasy unbrushed hair, pjs, wobbly bits. I appreciate that not everyone wants to see me with my boobs out. However, I was in my flat, not parading around the high street twirling a baton with them flapping in the wind

Indeed. Small top that's lost its elastic. HH cup boobs. Jiggling. Perfect titty escape plan.

@Bargebill19 my sleep deprived mate answered the door the postman with one tit out while breastfeeding. Unfortunately she'd put the baby down so he wasn't there for context!

@ranoutofquinoaandprosecco Wine for your support and being a survivor

Haven’t read all but next time id clean naked.

StartingAgain33 · 28/07/2020 22:24

Shes jealous of your boobies! Thats all.

EKGEMS · 29/07/2020 00:44

LookyLou Have you missed/skipped/ medication or refused any important medical appointments lately?

SquirtleSquad · 29/07/2020 00:48

How on earth did they work out which flat number you are to get the note to you!!

I'm getting flashbacks to that friends episode where Joey tries to count windows of the huge flat block opposite to find the right flat number of the hot girl Grin

Funny you should mention it. I'd under a two week wait appointment.
StarlightLady · 29/07/2020 06:09

No way would l apologise. The next time l cleaned, l would leave the bottoms off! Grin

Believe me, they can when you bend down in loose clothing, whilst they’re untethered.
Giningit · 29/07/2020 08:13

@Lookyloo

If that's the fucking case, put a top on, because believe me, not everyone finds big knockers staring out at them attractive!
Touched a nerve?

Lol what? WHY are you looking though people's windows at their knockers then? What a ridiculous thing to say. She is in her bloody HOUSE. Oh, and just a heads up- its not Victorian times anymore, she's not going to be branded the whore of babylon for showing her ankle to the chimney sweep. HTH!

3rdNamechange · 29/07/2020 08:24

Put a big note in the offending window ,
STOP STARING INTO PEOPLE'S FLATS

MahMahMahMahCorona · 29/07/2020 08:42

@CleaningCleavageCringe PLEASE can we have a detailed diagram so we can work out who the note came from???

Bibijayne · 29/07/2020 08:45

I am.so glad I am not the only person who relegates old cami tops to the PJ drawer.

Misses point about post entirely

ItWasNotOK · 29/07/2020 08:50

"The reason why i bet you got the note is because the woman has no tits and her husband was loving the view and she was getting miffed. "

Yes the only reason for a woman to be uptight is jealousy Hmm

OP, I am totally scatty and the layout of our house is crap so I'm always wandering about trying to find something half decent to put on to cover myself. We do have flats all around us and we live in a way more conservative country than the UK, but honestly, I find it hard to care that much. The lights are always off and if anyone is staring in that hard, that's really their issue.

Ignore them and clean on! People need to stop being such nosy bastards.

SerenDippitty · 29/07/2020 08:52

YANBU you should be able to wear what you want in your own home. Not as if you were doing it at night with the light on and the curtains open!

Years ago I saw a man in our road decorating his front room naked - with the curtains open, at night!

ilovehalloumi · 29/07/2020 09:04

Haven't read the whole thread but what I have taken from the first page -

You have an awesome DH, a synchronised naked clean sounds the ideal solution

You have creepy as fuck neighbours. Do what you want in your own house. I regularly wander about naked
