Is it too much to ask you do it inside?

Just popped into the kitchen to put cooled dinner in the fridge. Look out the back window to see neighbors over the back doing it against their back fence, in the alley, for anyone looking out to see. They're clothed but it's completely obvious what they're doing.

I don't have kids. They have at least 4. Is it really that difficult to use the bedroom? I can also see their kids watching telly through their window.

I've not long moved in here and curtains for the kitchen didn't seem so urgent until now.
Wasn't trying to peep. Totally unavoidable in close together terraces. Just shocked and shook.

YABU - you do it where you can as a parent
YANBU - throw a blanket over them so you don't have to see.

You sure it’s his wife and he’s not just popped out to ‘walk the dog’ and meet his mistress in the alley?! What sane married couple would opt for fully dressed alleyway shagging…..??

Ohpulltheotherone · 25/12/2021 20:25

Imagine still fancying each other so much after 4 kids that you’ve got to nip out for a quickie

It’s a bit much that they’re in plain sight but perhaps they don’t realise just now exposed they are… or maybe they do Blush

Lol. Bored for Christmas?

Abigail12345654321 · 25/12/2021 20:26

Is mum sitting on the sofa with the kids?! Or bathing the littlest?

[quote Longingforatikihut]@Sparklingbrook they're not in their garden. They're in the alley that separates out gardens. A public road effectively. Also I didn't stay to watch. As soon as I realised what they were up to I left.[/quote]
Who owns/ uses the alley? Is there a constant stream of people up and down at night if it's the same a a public road? I think we do actually need a diagram.

*Snapped and farted

Please for all that is great at Christmas, can someone resurrect the snapped and farted thread, makes me 🤣

With 4 kids, I’m pretty envious. Only one here, just gone to bed, I’m on sofa eating my body weight in cheese & biscuits. The last thing I can imagine is shagging in an alley 😅

BarefootHippieChick · 25/12/2021 20:30

I've never understood anyone who can shag on Christmas day, surely all that bouncing around would make you explode after all the food consumed?

plinkplinkfizzer · 25/12/2021 20:33

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year . I hope they don't get caught .

maryzx · 25/12/2021 20:36

@grapewine

YABU for "shocked and shook" even you're trying to be funny.
Agreed.
Alonelonelylonersbadidea · 25/12/2021 20:39

I'm just jealous. I could murder an alleyway shag but I'm stuck in a bed with two under tens at the in-laws. Hopefully the male shagger is not my DP!

Heaviestdirtyestsoul · 25/12/2021 20:41

Ten points for you going out to do something in the ally then theatrically backing back in, bonus points for offering tips and pointers on technique!

put a note through door for a charge for window blinds

rainrainraincamedowndowndown · 25/12/2021 20:43

If they have 4 kids, they must be desperate for a bit of time for themselves. Just ignore.

tatfrombandm · 25/12/2021 20:43
  • a photo of them shagging
SheldonesqueTheBstard · 25/12/2021 20:43

It is that cold here my lulu would give a tapped mussel a run for its money.

You surely must be daaaaahn sarf OP.

ChimChimeny · 25/12/2021 20:49

I think it's grim, surely if you ca see them there's a chance that their DC can too & no young kids need to see their parents shagging in the street.

scarpa · 25/12/2021 20:52

I'm just impressed they can move. I'm so full of roast potatoes I couldn't even think about shagging and especially not standing up.

LMBoston · 25/12/2021 20:52

@BlueRoseInBloom hahahahaha nearly choked on my Ritz Crackers 😂

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 25/12/2021 20:53

would love a partner up for mad fun like that.

I’d have taken them out a cuppa for after.

DH isn't up for it sadly, I asked him really nicely too Sad Grin
RhubarbFairy · 25/12/2021 20:59

Yell 'Get in my son' out of an upstairs window and then bolt before they realise where it came from.

It's freezing and raining here. More power to him if he can get it up in this weather.

Booklover3 · 25/12/2021 20:59

Going for the fifth child?

ThePlumVan · 25/12/2021 21:04

Is 5 degrees and they’ve got loads of kids - good for them I say !!

GCAndProud · 25/12/2021 21:11

Ewww would people seriously be okay with this? Seeing your neighbours shagging in the street while their kids are indoors watching TV? Call me a prude but I'd find this really grim. They obviously have no boundaries whatsoever.

LetHimHaveIt · 25/12/2021 21:13

I think it's pretty fucking rank, actually. They're in a public place. 'Move away from the window and mind your business'? Fuck that. I've got three kids and I've managed never to get caught rutting against a fence with my knickers round my ankles like something out of an Alan Clarke film. Jeepers.
