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.

Maybe it's a way of stopping you constantly looking across at her house, she may feel unsettled by your attention!

OP do you spend a lot of time looking out of your window?

Does anyone recall a recent thread posted by someone saying their opposite neighbour was always staring into their house, and everyone advised getting a blow up doll to stare back at her? Grin

If it was a sex doll it would have a cock as well. I have both types. The cockless type is just a novelty thing.

I have some nude art work. Years ago I had someone frothing at the mouth because every time they walked past my house and looked in the window they could see it. I should be ashamed as I have children. I am leading them to a live of debauchery and other ridiculous.

Told the person to stop looking in my windows then and closed the door.

She complains to my landlord constantly. They tend to pacify her for a peaceful life. She's either unhinged or is pissed off I got the house because she wanted a friend to get it.

The slogan was I heart boobies with a pride heart. Apparently her 10 yo daughter, who is regularly called a cunt by her father, was traumatised at the word boobies.

It could be worse, you could have Annabelle watching you all the time. She’s equally loved and loathed in my area!

Frequency I was you about 20 years ago. Neighgbours fucked off because they wanted their mate to live here. Had loads of complaints including my dog barking at all hours. I had a long chat with my LL and asked them to tell the mad people to stop otherwise I will take legal action for harassment and to stop bothering me with their petty squabbles. Oh and I've never owned a dog.

canigooutyet · 10/04/2021 12:21

Oh I love Annabelle, Wonder where I can get one from haha.

@JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows

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

Lockdownalli that's weird! Probably not though as I've got net curtains and don't look in her window. She hasn't got nets or blinds. Tattiepants that's horrendous. That would give me nightmares!

Ooh I need a doll for my window!

Tumbleweed101 · 10/04/2021 12:23

I'm guessing they've had a party and too hung over to deal with the aftermath Grin.

SallySycamore · 10/04/2021 12:28

Ask her to put a jumper on him.

@Frequency no Fake Taxi is a porn channel where a role play of a woman wearing only underwear is picked up by a taxi only to find she has no money and has sex with the driver as payment. Delightful ey

We had to send someone over to the student house near school and ask if they'd move their blow up penis from their window which was overlooking the school primary school. The children had noticed it and it wasn't the ideal item to overlook a primary school playground.

Luckily the students removed it but glad I wasn't the nominated staff who had to go and ask!

JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 10/04/2021 12:34

@memberofthewedding

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

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.

I hate to be the one to point out that gossiping is not a criminal offence. Slander and libel are civil issues

Annabelle has frequent costume changes depending on the season!

It wouldn’t worry me in the slightest what any of my neighbours had in their windows, their houses their business

Weirdfan · 10/04/2021 12:36

Made the mistake of telling DH about this thread and showing Annabelle to him, he's scouring the internet for creepy dolls now

yellowsubmarines · 10/04/2021 12:36

Ask her if you can borrow it. Grin

Are we neighbours?! I have this too, I have a gorgeous painting of a woman (not me) who is topless, very classy, and I got a complaint through my door! Not in Yorkshire are you?
MuddlingMackem · 10/04/2021 12:38

@TattiePants, I've seen photos of that doll in Facebook groups, but haven't managed to see it for myself yet.

DoingItMyself · 10/04/2021 12:40

Oh dear. I googled 'Fake Taxi'. Had no idea. But it reminded me of the life and times of an actual taxi driver I once knew.

RampantIvy · 10/04/2021 12:42

Every day is a school day. I had never heard of "fake taxi" before. I will make sure that DD knows.

If I had a blow up doll in my window anyone walking past the house would see it. Some houses and streets are designed in such a way that it would be difficult not to see what was in someone's window.

And let's face it, anything odd or unusual would draw the eye.

LakieLady · 10/04/2021 12:42

I'm amazed no-one has asked for a pic of the inflatable man yet.

Lol.. I highly doubt it is choosing to stare at you.. it’s not sentient so..

If the neighbour tilted it to look a different direction, would it still bother you?
