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.

What @Hairthrowaway said. Definitely do this preferably with the same top on with your left titty out, that’ll give em something to choke on their cornflakes over 🤣

chubbyhotchoc · 28/07/2020 16:04

I would be cleaning fully naked from now on

giantangryrooster · 28/07/2020 16:05

It's not you that should be mortified, but your lurking neighbors.

Unless you cleaned your windows with your boobs out, squeaking up and down the window, US car wash style Grin, you are allowed to wear whatever you choose in your home.

CleaningCleavageCringe · 28/07/2020 16:05

@MamaLion1319 I definitely did not look in any way seductive unless he finds unbrushed hair, under eye bags and wobbly bits particularly sexy!

This would literally encourage me to do the housework naked Grin

AnnaMariaDreams · 28/07/2020 16:06

If you want to clean naked, it’s your house and your right to do so!
FWIW I clean in PJs with no bra too. My pj tops are t shirt style but even so.

CleaningCleavageCringe · 28/07/2020 16:07

All the "do it naked" commenters, DH just messaged me to say that tomorrow we should both strip off and do a coordinated and synchronized naked clean 🤣

Ugh. Write back.

‘I was compelled to call 101 as clearly you’ve been watching me in my own home and intend to do it again’

And then when you see them next flip them the finger.

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 28/07/2020 16:07

I'm sorry op but this made me giggle!!

In all seriousness though, it's your house, dress how you want to, I can't believe there are people this sad out there

SauvignonBlanketyBlank · 28/07/2020 16:08

🤣 at "popping" out.Yeah they shouldn't be looking in your window.

ifoundafoxcaughtbydogs · 28/07/2020 16:08

I've actually had no top on to clean in summer before. It's your house, wear what you like!

LaughingDonkey · 28/07/2020 16:09

If I had your boobs (I'm flat chested Hmm ), I would be cleaning your style everyday Wink

I agree with PP, someone was enjoying the show your cleaning and was caught, hence the note.

The tassels comment left me in tears

chubbyhotchoc · 28/07/2020 16:10

@CleaningCleavageCringe don't underestimate the excitement that could be generated by untethered boobs and marigolds 😂😂

GracieLane · 28/07/2020 16:11

I'm glad I'm not overlooked! I only wear a bra out.

WorraLiberty · 28/07/2020 16:11

What an odd thing to happen

I love this thread. And this post in particular. 🤣
missmouse101 · 28/07/2020 16:13

But surely you know you can be seen? How weird, if you're that embarrassed! No way would I clean with popping out boobs if I knew people could see. But I agree about cleaning in pjs being a great idea. I do it too and shower immediately after.

MaggieAndHopey · 28/07/2020 16:14

If this is for real, I'd be very disturbed if someone put a note like that through my door.

Bishybarnybee · 28/07/2020 16:14

Really? People clean with their boobs hanging out? More than one person?

How very odd. I'd be keeping my boobs well away from anywhere the neighbours might see them, and if I was regularly flashing, I'd think it was fair enough if they asked me to be more discrete.

Imagine the reverse - a guy whose knob was constantly falling out of his boxers where the neighbours could see. That would be quite creepy actually, and no-one would believe it was an accident. Especially if it happened more than once.

hapagirl · 28/07/2020 16:15

Says more about them than you. WTH were they doing looking in your windows? Do what you like in your own home so long as it’s legal and consensual. Geez, some people.

keepingbees · 28/07/2020 16:15

I'm with your DH! It's your home to do and wear what you want. Why are your neighbours gawping in! I wouldn't know if my neighbours walk round stark naked as I don't sit at my window watching

MrsMoastyToasty · 28/07/2020 16:17

Next time dress up in a fancy dress maids costume.

honeyytoast · 28/07/2020 16:17

Nah fuck that. As long as you aren’t purposely facing your neighbours’ windows waiting to flash them, you wear whatever you want in your own house. If you can work out who it is, maybe write a note back asking them not to watch you as it makes you uncomfortable.

CleaningCleavageCringe · 28/07/2020 16:17

@missmouse101 nope, it's not obvious that anyone can see in, we can't see into any of the surrounding properties aside from a bit of kitchen or front room or whatnot... hence my mortification!!!

A colleague of mine once told another chap in the office "your housemate sometimes sunbathes nude". The chap replied "I didn't think you could see my back garden from your house". My colleague replied "I can get a great view if I lie on top of the wardrobe in the kids room".
