To think that people who keep their curtains closed all day must be ill, or hiding something?

The first thing that I do, when I get up in the morning, is to open the curtains. Possibly a window as well, to let a breeze in. There are a few houses nearby, who never open any curtains. Bedroom and lounge curtains are always firmly closed, even on lovely summer days. The gardens are unkempt and scruffy, all the paintwork is peeling. But someone definitely living there, as in one case, a brand new car on the drive and I've seen pizza delivery to the other. Does anyone else find this really odd, and think that there must be something amiss with these people? It must be so dark inside. I find it almost a bit creepy.

It's really bizarre isn't it. There's a house opposite us and I've never seen the blinds or curtains opened in the 5 years we've lived here. We live in front of some woods as well and the houses are quite dark, so it must be a very gloomy exisitence!

We live at the back of our house and blinds are never closed as we aren't particularly overlooked. Our room at the front of the house has expensive equipment in it and the curtains are closed, both to stop sun damage and so that is not obvious what is there. Our house is a bit tatty at the front so I imagine people will think we don't have anything worth breaking in for.
