To ask my neighbour to remove the male blow up doll from her lounge window?

It's seriously pissing me off. It's been there for two days now, staring at me every time I look out of the lounge window. That's not how I want to spend my days thank you very much.

Don't look at it then?

Merename · 10/04/2021 11:39

I’d love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation Grin

JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 10/04/2021 11:40

As long as you don't wake up at 3am and it's staring into your window, leave it.

TheWaif · 10/04/2021 11:40

Do you normally spend all your days looking out of the living room window?

Wheresmyshittingmeat · 10/04/2021 11:41

I want to look out of my lounge window occasionally. It's bang opposite so I can't avoid it. I don't get it. There's an 8 year old girl who lives there too.

It’s two days, it’s likely not going to stay there for ever more. Chill.

SheldonesqueHasTheWeevils · 10/04/2021 11:42

Ok I’ll ask.

Is he dressed OP or is he proudly waving at you?

Wheresmyshittingmeat · 10/04/2021 11:44

I could just be an upright middle aged lady I guess. I just don't understand why anyone would want to do it!

If it's some kind of weird naked sex doll thing YANBU. If it's just, y'know, Ken-like then I wouldn't worry about it.

MrsKJones · 10/04/2021 11:44

This reminds me of the blow up doll Anita had in Dinnerladies when she was driving alone

Wheresmyshittingmeat · 10/04/2021 11:45

Sheldon, no waving just very fake chest hair!

Wheresmyshittingmeat · 10/04/2021 11:48

Milk, it is naked with a weird expression so assuming it's a sex doll. Very bad taste dahlings!

You don't need to understand it. Just accept it and be thankful they aren't holding raves until 5am

You sound like my neighbour. She complained to my landlord about my daughter's pride slogan in her bedroom window. She said it was traumatising her daughter Grin

We removed it. We're having a big fat pride garden party in Pride month. DD is inviting all her gay friends. They're all gonna kiss and cuddle in the garden and wear pride t-shirts. And if she complains about that we're reporting her for hate crimes.

Because yes, I am that petty and my neighbour is as mad as a box of frogs.

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 10/04/2021 11:50

Ask her if you can borrow it.

Wheresmyshittingmeat · 10/04/2021 11:50

I meant uptight!

@Frequency you rock, enjoy your party 🏳️‍🌈

Maybe don't be upright if you don't wanna see it? Wink

I'd want to understand though. I'm properly intrigued 🤔

bloodyhell19 · 10/04/2021 11:52

Would you like to borrow the doll, OP? Is that what this is really about?

Seriously though, get over it. You can't dictate what other people have in their homes or windows.

That's not petty, that's awesome.

Fancy being traumatised by a sign...

@Frequency... brilliant! 🤣🤣🌈🌈🌈

Wheresmyshittingmeat · 10/04/2021 11:53

Frequency, I assure you I would never have a problem with what you're talking about. This is just stupid and pointless in my view.

OP posts:
JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 10/04/2021 11:54

Maybe the neighbour doesn't know it's a sex doll and it's meant to be a toy for her daughter?

There's a (very square, cardigan wearing, rather posh) dad at the school I work at who has a 'Fake Taxi' bumper sticker - apparently he thinks it's a bit like "Dad's taxi" and doesn't know what it really means Confused
