Shitty note from new Neighbours after moving in

[Laylamum2]

We moved house on Friday - have had a hectic few days trying to sort things and have this week off work thankfully.

There is one bathroom in the house and this is upstairs at the front of the house which faces our driveway. Next to the driveway is a neighbours house directly opposite.

The seller has taken all blinds out of the property as is their right and we’ve spent today putting some new ones up, including in the bathroom.

Yesterday, a note got put through our door:

”Get blinds for your bathroom, we don’t want to see you having a shit”

The window is frosted but I assume at night with the light on you can see in.

This was obviously from our neighbours opposite. AIBU to say they went about this in a rude way? They could have sent a politer note or knocked on the door.

Anonymous notes are only written by nutters, and thus go straight in the bin. Dont give it another thought.

Completely ignore them, it’ll drive them nuts.

Dreadful behaviour!

What a horrible welcome note, I’m sorry some people are such shitheads! Just ignore it

Yeah they sound like rude twats.

Laugh as you put the note in the bin and carry on with your life.

I agree with ignoring them because it will drive them more mad.

Nor would I particularly care what they did and did not want to see.

Only shit with the windows open and make inappropriate grunts, like you're trying to pass a melon

Ignore. How sad that they look out of windows all the time! I don’t look outside mine to see what neighbours are doing when it’s dark outside

Say nothing, but get a window sticker of a shitting Santa for the bathroom window.

They sound lovely.

I don't suppose that you were delighted to be watched doing whatever you were doing in the bathroom before you got the blinds up!

Ignore the stupid note. But do brace for having neighbours who do such twattish things.

surely no one can see you once your on the loo as your below window height

also frosted wouldn’t allow people to see what you are doing lights on or not - just a blur of colour

Cut out big letters and stick them on the window so that when you turn the light on in the bathroom it reads from outside “STOP WATCHING US SHIT YOU WIERDOS”. Would give you a little privacy until you are able to get around to fitting blinds too.

My sensible self would ignore them. You have blinds now and really they should have been more patient and nicer.

My petty self would put some incredibly bright flashing Christmas lights up at that window in the hope it annoyed them. But you probably shouldn't do this as having a feud with neighbours is horrible.

I’d put the most annoying flashy Christmas lights in that window. I wouldn’t - I’d just ignore them - but I’d want to!

I'd said to maybe bear in mind that this could have been kids messing around (also unacceptable - but it'd be mortifying to get it that wrong about the neighbours before you even meet!) I bet when you do eventually meet the neighbours you'll instantly have a strong feeling for it it was them or not.

Roll your eyes and chuck it in the bin. Perhaps if they weren't staring over into your bathroom they wouldn't see you taking a shit. It's not difficult to just avert your eyes immediately. The fact they are too scared to own their nasty note says it all.
You've put a blind up now, so just forget it.

What charmer wrote that - very welcoming. Have you met any of the neighbours yet?

I'd probably buy a plain white blind, draw a bum on it with a sharpie and hang it up facing the neighbours. But that might not be the most mature response.

You could wipe your shitey bum on the note and pop it back through their letterbox?

Wouldn’t give it a second thought. I bet they’re the neighbours everyone else hates!

🤣

Wow.
Welcome to the neighbourhood.

I would keep hold of it incase they keep sending them.

They shouldn't have been looking!!
