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.

@PomegranateQueen

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.

Pride signs and blow up dolls - it's the same thing, right? Wear your pride t-shirt, take your sex toy to a film for a date, who cares!

I am out at the moment so will post a pic when I get back. If it's still there.

I have just asked 20 year old DD if she has heard of the term "fake taxi" and the answer was no.

Wheresmyshittingmeat · 10/04/2021 13:10

Thankfully we've established it's not a sex toy but no less weird having it in the lounge window for all to see. I'm off to Tesco now to pick up an outfit.

Clearly she's concerned about recent burglaries in the area and is taking tips from Kevin 🤷‍♀️

[quote Wheresmyshittingmeat]@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?[/quote]
I suspect the statement they are making is saying if you keep twitching your net curtains to look out at our window here is something for you to actually look at.

RampantIvy · 10/04/2021 13:15

@rampantivy are you going to send her the link!?!
Why were you concerned about alerting her to a particular porn category?!

It was the comment about a taxi being fake, rather than the porn thing (which I had completely no idea about). Just goes to show how innocent I am Blush

From this poast by @Frequency

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

@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

What does it mean? I too would have thought it was something like mums/dads taxi?!?
Twistered · 10/04/2021 13:24

@Frequency ..... Can I please come to your party ! ❤️

NormanStangerson · 10/04/2021 13:26

@Wheresmyshittingmeat

#norman, yes that's it! What is it?
I think it would probably be described as a ‘hen do novelty blow-up man’. Or something.
FortunesFave · 10/04/2021 13:30

I wouldn't like it! There's no need for it! As for the poster who said "You just need to accept it" what a crock of shit!

Has it got a penis?

JustJustWhy · 10/04/2021 13:30

Just for information. It's always worth letting people know that they should check that any ''taxi" they get into is legitimate.

Sadly, some copycats have been spurned on by the big porn productions.

@Wheresmyshittingmeat

I could just be an upright middle aged lady I guess. I just don't understand why anyone would want to do it!
Is he showing his todger? Is it for a Hen do?

It wouldn't bother me, at least he will be quiet !

Sounds like the sort of thing students would do..Maybe she is doing it as she thinks he is annoying the neighbours?

Boomshakkalakka · 10/04/2021 13:33

I bet you have done something to bug her and this is her revenge.

oakleaffy · 10/04/2021 13:34

If he is showing his todger, not appropriate if little kids are passing IMO.

LivingMyBestLife2020 · 10/04/2021 13:41

Photo please, or it never happened

MaMaD1990 · 10/04/2021 13:42

Shamelessly book marking to see if a photo appears...!

I can see why it surprised you when you opened your curtains and saw it but unsure why you need to ask them to remove it !! In what way does it affect you ?

RampantIvy · 10/04/2021 14:01

I hope you've not told you're daughter to only watch out for cars with 'Fake Taxi' bumper stickers...

Nope. I just asked her if she knew the term fake taxi, and she said no. I didn't say why.
