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

[Wheresmyshittingmeat]

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.

Drop off some clothes?

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

@RampantIvy Knows what? That porn exists? I’m sure she does.

FakeTaxi is consensual big production porn; they don’t just take randomers off the street so I’m sure your DD will be safe

@5zeds

Drop off some clothes?

Yeah that's a good idea. Leave a jumper on the doorstep with a note saying 'Your friend looks a bit cold'

@Frequency

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

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.

You do sound petty, actually.

@Frequency I had letters through my door about the ‘inappropriate nature of my windows’ when My daughter painted a BLM fist in her window. So I drew a massive rainbow in the other and then a portrait of Heath ledger and jake gyllenhall downstairs 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

@emilyfrost I know perfectly well that porn exists, but I live in some kind of bubble where I don't come across it nor do I choose to come across it. Several other mumsnetters have never heard of it either.

There is no need to be so sneery about it

It is not The Scream, is it? My sister has a low-up scream (but not full size and definitely not a sex doll). It would account for the "weird expression".

blow-up, not low-up!

Can we have a photo, please?

Fancy admitting you have (naff) net curtains on Mumsnet. Surely that means though you have to twitch them to see the boyfriend doll?

I also had never heard of fake taxi, hilarious that the poor man thinks it's taxing daughter around (or DOES he? Dun dun dunnnnn....)

Agree with everyone else I'm afraid OP, if there's no dodgy blow up parts staring at you, crack on!

I'm with the offer of a cardigan. It might just embarrass them enough to move it.

Or you could talk to her saying that as pubs open on Monday, you could get drunks trying to steal it or press against the window.

@MuddlingMackem we have the pleasure of walking past her most days on the way to school! If you know where Holmlands is, she’s directly opposite.

@RampantIvy I agree, no shame in not knowing what it was. Lots of us didn't and honestly it's never come up in conversation. I think a nice fair isle tank top and tan slacks for him would be lovely!

Do you live in a red light area?

Strange thing to have in her window though, perhaps she is making a point to someone?

I wasn’t being sneery about you not knowing what FakeTaxi is

I was curious as to what you needed to make sure your DD knows.

@SeasonFinale I was waiting for someone to mention the nets! I'll have you know they are quite naice tasteful ones. Pale cream with a rather fetching weave.

Responses to this would be quite different it it was some old bloke and his 8 yr old daughter with a female sex doll propped up in the window. Or variety of clamp on vaginas on display.....

I think its very odd and you should ask her what it is and why its on display.

i don't think anyone should put stuff in their windows tbh

if you want signs saying 'i love boobies' -have it in your own house. if you want scary ass dolls-have it in your own house.

why the need to inflict your taste on everybody else in the street? there's just no need

Perhaps you should put a female one in your window, they can strike up a little romance.

@SpringTimeDream I don't think I live in a red light area! I wasn't too keen on the sofa that stayed outside on the pavement for a couple of days either.

@Frequency

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

There’s another meaning - it’s a series of porn films.

If the school run dad has a bumper sticker, I assume it refers to the films, rather than endorsing rape.

Post a pic please. I need a laugh

@silverbubbles yes thank you. If they want to look at that's fine. Have it facing into the room. It's obviously meant for everyone outside the house to see so what statement are they trying to make?
