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.

#bloodyhell, I can assure you I don't want to borrow it!

If you can't even see his appendage you can't really complain!

My neighbour has a blow-up Jesus balloon in her window Grin

Hopefully the sun will melt it soon

What does a Fake Taxi sign mean?

If it’s one of these, it won’t be a sex doll... 🍆

Wheresmyshittingmeat · 10/04/2021 11:59

Blow up Jesus balloon! That might possibly be worse!

@JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows

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

Now I’m intrigued? Should I google “Fake Taxi”?

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

How is this relevant to OP's scenario?

I wouldn't be that happy with it either OP, seems a bit wierd to have a blow up doll in the window. I probably wouldn't complain though as it's not worth a conflict with the nieghbours.

Placemarking for
a. explanation of Fake Taxi
b. explanation for exactly what kind of doll this blow up man is

Of course he knows what it means .

Fake-taxis pick up vulnerable women from outside nightclubs for nefarious reasons. Some childish, brainless men think it's funny.

Wheresmyshittingmeat · 10/04/2021 12:03

Thank you Pomegranate. You're right, probably not worth causing an issue unless it stays there until it's shrivelled! Grin

😂😂this is what I love about Mumsnet.... yes what is it for if not a sex doll? (He is definitely under-endowed if he is a sex doll - being with him would be a very deflating experience!)

icelollycraving · 10/04/2021 12:04

I find your username most appropriate for the conversation though Grin

emilyfrost · 10/04/2021 12:05

FakeTaxi is consensual big production porn - girls get in fake taxis and have sex with the drivers.

OP YABU. Their house, their say.

WhoWants2Know · 10/04/2021 12:05

Isn't that one of those "instant boyfriend" joke gifts that you can get in cheap tat shops?

If she was my neighbour she would get a strongly worded letter from me that spreading malicious gossip to my landlord is harassment and a criminal offence. If I was the landlord I would tell her that you had done nothing to break your lease and that I did not appreciate petty snitches.

B33Fr33 · 10/04/2021 12:05

The doll is more likely to be the sort for dodgy hen do's where they cart it around calling it the groom's name and cackling about sex like teenagers. Everything awful. But bad taste rather than for sexual use.

duvetdreaming · 10/04/2021 12:06

Who is this male blow up doll? Anybody interesting?

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.

Can you make loads of Pride bunting and other decorations? Pride flags everywhere. Washable paint on various windows, walls and the fence. Or felt tips on cardboard boxes etc?

Ask the guests to also bring some Pride decorations along.

Those hair chalks for them to have Pride hair.
Pride make up/face painting.

I am both petty and mad as a box of frogs 🤣🤣

Wheresmyshittingmeat · 10/04/2021 12:07

BraveGoldie yes, if not sex doll then what? Hen night thing? Blow up mannequin for Ann Summers shop windows?

How would it be malicious gossip if she was telling your landlord something that was a fact?

iceLolly, ha! Good point! Yes probably an instant boyfriend thing. Not even a suggestion of genitalia!
