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.

Please do Op and be sure to report back her response 👍

duvetdreaming · 10/04/2021 14:09

OP why not send your DD to ask them to explain what it is for?

I bet it'll be gone within an hour.

why are you looking in your neighbors window?

I have litrally never done that, even if someone doesnt have blinds and is standing by their window wearing/doing anything its creepy of you to be looking/watching them.

So Im confused by why you think its normal or your place to complain when it seems your the 'peeping tom'.

You can’t really tell someone what they can and can’t put in their own window

RampantIvy · 10/04/2021 14:18

why are you looking in your neighbors window?

The OP said that the house opposite has windows exactly opposite hers. It would be impossible not to see what is in the window if she looks out of her own window. Don't you ever look out of your living room window for any reason?

PhillipPhillop · 10/04/2021 14:25

Can't wait for the photo! It must be a hen do thing, everyone blows up a plastic penis then pins it on the man blindfolded. This is only what I've heard obviously...

@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 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.

This is amazing! I hope you have an awesome party!
Nightbear · 10/04/2021 14:32

Maybe you seem to spend a lot of time staring at your neighbour’s house so she decided to give you something to look at?

QueenValentina · 10/04/2021 14:38

Is anyone else thinking of the Bel Amor song/video whilst reading this thread??

Are you serious? Was she worried her daughter would be lured to the dark side or something. Please tell me your landlord put her in her place?

Good on you 🏳️‍🌈

Windows of some houses are really large...People can definitely see what is in rooms in older 19th Cent houses, especially now net curtains are no longer used like they used to be. Some {Georgian} houses have windows 40cms from the floor almost, and you can see in easily from walking pas, even with a big front garden. It is only more modern houses with higher up more energy efficient windows where ''Snoopage'' might be needed. {I used to be a newspaper delivery kid, and loved houses with interesting things in... ''The rocking horse house'' &c and of course now ''The inflatable man'' house :)
Deathraystare · 10/04/2021 14:50

Am I the only one feeling rather sorry for the blow up doll. One of you cruelly wants to dress him in a fairisle tanktop and tan slacks and another has christened him 'Kevin'. No wonder his willy has wilted....

@RampantIvy

I have just asked 20 year old DD if she has heard of the term "fake taxi" and the answer was no.
Firstly, she isn’t going to say yes if she does know Grin

And secondly, if you phrased it “Do you know what the term fake taxi means?” then she’s going to have a different understanding to “Have you seen/heard of FakeTaxi?”.

oakleaffy · 10/04/2021 15:05

Imagine he looks like this?

JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 10/04/2021 15:11

@AgathaAllAlong

Perhaps you should put a female one in your window, they can strike up a little romance.
This is genius
TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 10/04/2021 15:17

@oakleaffy

That looks quite cheap and is probably not very well made.
Once it is inflated does it tend to go down a lot?

1forAll74 · 10/04/2021 15:18

Something I saw, about 20 years ago.I was walking down a little street,lined with little terraced houses both sides.One such house had a porch that had glass windows round the top half.. There was female,naked sex doll stood up at one side of the porch. There was a man in the porch, he was bare chested, I could not tell if he was without clothes below, because the porch had a wooden structure at the bottom half.
The man seemed to be oblivious to anyone passing by, and he was kind of bending over the sex doll, and moving his body around.

The sex doll was not as realistic as the ones you may have seen on tv these days, it seemed like just a rigid plastic model,with a blonde coloured curly wig on, and big plastic boobs. But dare say it had all the bits,to keep the man happy..

I did not stop and stare in the window ha ha, But it was mid afternoon when I was walking along, and quite a bright sunny day,so I could not miss this weird scene in the porch.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 10/04/2021 15:55

If it deflates, perhaps offer a blow job to help him rereach his prime?

oakleaffy · 10/04/2021 15:58

He isn't mine....But copied off internet.

He is the standard ''Hen Do'' doll...

But for those who want a more expensive model...
Here is the type... He'd cause neighbours to do a double take, for sure.

oakleaffy · 10/04/2021 16:01

Assuming OP's Doll is the cheaper type, as she says 'Blow up' doll ..

If he was made of silicone, he'd not suffer from ''Deflatus'' ;)

Lol....Only just got the joke! 😂

@MerryMarigold

Placemarking for a. explanation of Fake Taxi b. explanation for exactly what kind of doll this blow up man is
Fake taxi is a porn thing.
Moonface123 · 10/04/2021 16:10

I have nosey neighbours and a friend joked once this l should put a red light in my window,.give them something to talk about.
