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.

If you can narrow it down to 3 or 4 houses who may have sent the note, just put a return note in each letter box. The correct house will be panicked that you're on to them, and the others will be baffled and put the note in the bin.

Eh? Mumsnet has now also deleted my posts saying ODFOD to another poster.

ODFOD was invented on MN as far as I know. Are we not allowed to say that now? WTF is going on, seriously?!

Changingnames34 · 28/07/2020 17:17

OP, I very much believe you on this... because it happened to me!

I once had a note through the door ordering me to close my curtains, because they didn’t like seeing me and my partner walking across our bedroom in our underwear. Well, in her words, our “shorts”. Bearing in mind, we’d never 1. Go right up to the window or 2. Be in a state of undress with the lights on and curtains open at night.

Like yours, the note was anonymous! Although we had a fairly good idea of who it was... the lady across the road who sat right in front of her window all day.

OP, you've given me a laugh after a very looong day!

Can you twerk?

crosseyedMary · 28/07/2020 17:20

I would tell them it's pay per view and they owe you £xxxx

CleaningCleavageCringe · 28/07/2020 17:20

@holidayplanningnewbie 👀👀👀

@Changingnames34 did you buy nipple tassels?

I'm echoing your DH...

What kind of cheeky fuckers would send a note like that

I'd be cleaning in less next time, but I'm a goady fucker with stuff like that

OldLace · 28/07/2020 17:21

@CleaningCleavageCringe

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 🤣
Your DH sounds FAB, OP!

I'd put a note on your front door:

'please refrain from spying through my windows, you sad people'

CleaningCleavageCringe · 28/07/2020 17:22

@mineofuselessinformation. I mean, in theory. Maybe. But definitely not well.
Maybe that doesn't matter in this instance though!

Can you and your dh wear a matching naked apron next time

Yorkshiremummyof1 · 28/07/2020 17:23

Please go and buy a french maid outfit, and yes I mean the sort of one you get from ann summers

losttt · 28/07/2020 17:25

I say wear nipple tassels next time and knickers that say "maybe your hubby shouldnt be looking" on the back

Nicklebox · 28/07/2020 17:29

My hubby wants to know where about's are you Grin

notasportymum · 28/07/2020 17:30

they're very nosey and rude. wear what you want in your own home.

for housework, nipple tassels and a thong are appropriate attire.

bridgetreilly · 28/07/2020 17:30

I would be worried a bit about spillage/splashing of cleaning fluids. But mostly in your situation, it's more about whether you're okay with people walking past your windows while you're doing it. If not (and I am not) then I think you do need to either dress or pull the curtains. If you're fine with it, crack on. Either way, it's up to you, not your neighbours who do not have to look if they don't want to.

MingeofDeath · 28/07/2020 17:33

Get yourself one of these

I can’t believe the cheek of them!!!!!!! Tomorrow, fully naked cleaning!Dare you.Grin

hoochymamgu · 28/07/2020 17:37

This has so made me laugh! I'm totally with your DH on this, pay it no mind Grin

JammyHands · 28/07/2020 17:38

I'm voting for a feather duster attached to each nipple so you can swing them round, high heels and a fluffy bunny tail to buff the windows with.

also rubber gloves with marabou cuffs like the ones on How Clean Is Your House.

verypeckish · 28/07/2020 17:40

This is why net curtains were invented.

Chickychickydodah · 28/07/2020 17:41

Make a big board that says “ fuck off perverts ,” and stick it in the window 👍🏻😀

Spaceprincess · 28/07/2020 17:42

So uncomfortable they watched , what wasn't a 'display ' as you were in your own home for long enough to get worked up about it.... I'd tell calmly neighbours you've got a creepy peeping tom amongst you, see who bites.

Nottherealslimshady · 28/07/2020 17:44

Fuck em. I'm fully aware people can see in and will dess how I want in my house. If they dont want to see then they shouldn't be looking through your windows. I'd put a random note through though everyone's letterboxes "to the people offended by me cleaning in my pyjamas yesterday, please stop watching me in my home, windows are for people to see out of not into homes".
