AIBU?

We can see our neighbour’s bathroom - WWYD?

We live on a street of terraced houses. Opposite us is a house split into flats.
Upstairs flat has a bathroom at the front, with terribly frosted glass and no blinds, but what looks like a curtain to one side.
I think their shower is right at the window because you can often, clearly, see bodies.

My kids bedroom is the one that faces their flat.
They happily shout out / giggle when there’s a “naked bum” at the window and I remind them that it’s a shower and the privacy glass isn’t great so just ignore / not nice to stare etc. Not a big deal.

However, for the second time, I have had to distract a kid from the naked person opposite a lot more hastily because the naked person is enjoying their own company rather a lot.

I’ve discussed this with my husband and my neighbours and here’s what we’ve come up with:

1. Post a note through their door to ask if they could pull the curtain when they use the shower as the frosted glass is not effective (my idea)
2. Post a note but with a haiku (neighbour 1’s idea, my husband’s words “Personal pleasure // Bathroom curtain left open // Neighbour eyeballs scorched”
3. Put a sign up on our window “if you can read this, we can see you” (my husband’s idea)
4. Next time, take a photo and post it in as blackmail (neighbour 2)
5. Take a photo and project it onto the outside of their house (also neighbour 2)
6. Do nothing, say nothing, don’t make eye contact, don’t let my kids look out of the window.

So, AIBU to go with #1? Should we go for something else?
Any ideas not on the list that we should consider?

Option 1.
The haiku is crap and I'm not sure Neighbour 2 is great for any advice given their ideas border on voyeuristic. Sounds like they're looking for a reason to take a picture of unsuspecting naked people ...

Obviously option 1. Bonus points if you attach it to a pack of that translucent stick-on window film.

@TheHoptimist Do you stand in your unfrosted bathroom window freely masturbating? Cos that is what the problem is, not the bums.

OP anonymous note will spare their embarassment.

We very embarrassingly had an anonymous note through the door to say that our frosted window wasn’t as frosted as we thought. I was mortified.

'Could you please put a blind up at your bathroom window. Our children are getting an education in things they really don't need to, at their age. Thanks'

Is it close enough to pick up your wifi signal? If so change your wifi to: WeCanSeeYouWankingInTheShower

This is much better!

I'm not sure they even have the light on, the sun is shining on them from outside Blush

Tell them in person, so they're not torturing themselves wondering who the note is from.

Genuine question: Was it better that is was anonymous or not?

My husband is ready and set to do this but he doesn't know how to change the SSID and I'm not telling him.

I was laughing at the thought of the kids watching out for bare btms. But much as I like the idea of a haiku I think you have to tell them they are fully visible when using the shower.

I think a limmerick would be more effective than a Haiku

There once was a neighbour who thought she
Could shower in complete priv - a -cy
The frosting was shot
And the whole street got
A view of her washing her pussy

Of COURSE children will spend time looking for and laughing at a naked bum !!! Grin

Just post through and say “ hey , we can see you clearly in your shower “

Pray that you never meet the owner of the Bum in the supermarket with the kids ! Lol.
