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.

I would show the note to your lovely neighbours, I bet they would be able to exactly who it came from and probably quite considerable history.

I second this unless it's been seconded already in which case I whatever the number is, this

I knew of someone once who's neighbours opposite remarked about the thin curtains in their bedroom "you can see everything". Following that the husband did a full on silhouette show complete with a long loofah each night. They didn't mention it again 😂

I love the loofah puppet/silhouette show!

Sorry, you think the wording is ‘quite good’?! Are you serious? There are some quite funny people on this thread so maybe not….

i'm not sure to think is this a real post? 1) vendors who remove blinds from house upon selling? Why? 2) the title of the post with no nod or wink to it being a pun 3) the model of car mentioned and it's typical class association... 🤔

Don't get blinds for at least 6 months. And ignore them.

You again missed the bit where she now has blinds, did you? We are not stupid, you just can’t read properly in your haste to lecture women again.

Yes I am serious. To me the wording comes across as "we know you aren't aware we can see you, it's ok, no harm done, but rectify the situation for both our sakes!" whereas a more formal note might come across as "you're a disgusting person for not putting up a blind before you started using the bathroom".

@MySilentLions We are not stupid, you just can’t read properly in your haste to lecture women again.

I didn't know whether the advice to ignore the note was coming from men or women.

That’s really funny that you read it like that. I just can’t equate it with “we don’t want to watch you having a shit!” Not quite on the same level of politeness.

OP you could always sent a note back saying “I guess you aren’t going to like our naked sunbathing either then!”

Fabulous.!!! 🤣🤣🤣😫

Lolololol
You girls make me howl..
,😂😂😂☺️

👍😂😂

Lolol

This 😀

RUDE.

I would enlarge and print their 'shitty' and post to the window so they can see it

That was extremely RUDE on their part.

A place we stayed in Italy had a glass front door with one way glass, you couldn't see in but you could see out. However we found out the hard way that at night if the interior light was on then the one-way function didn't work, I went out to the car for something, OH was having a shower and as I walked back towards the door there he was, wandering around in his birthday suit for anyone to see, totally oblivious!

Avoid them.

Ignore it. Dint waste your time worrying about it

I’d be tempted to get a poster of someone having a shit and putting it in the window but then I find humour where others don’t.

I live on a 6 year old new estate. I put blinds in the day I moved in but my neighbours across from me(3 of them) never have in 6 years. I can see everytime they have a shower everytime they pee or shit and I’ve just become so accustomed to it I don’t even notice anymore.

I can’t believe these neighbours posted that within 24 hours of you moving in. They are weirdos for even noticing.

Sound like horrible people who would be horrible about something else in due course if it wasn’t this.

I once had neighbours who often had sex without closing the curtains. I don’t think it was an exhibitionist thing, just that they probably didn’t think they were overlooked. On occasion I’d go to close my curtains, look out, and think “oh, they’re at it again”. Then I closed the curtains and got on with whatever I was doing. I couldn’t get too bothered about anything seen through neighbours’ windows that I didn’t want to see - unless it was violence of course. If you see someone using the toilet/having sex/scratching their arse through the window and don’t like it, just look away!
