Shitty note from new Neighbours after moving in

309 replies

Laylamum2 · 25/11/2025 18:19

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.

They posted the note through your door yesterday about putting blinds up? And you put blinds up today?

They’ll think they won.

Oooooh.

It was a joke ffs, unbelievable 🙄

Exactly,nobody in their right mind would do that ..clearly a joke👍

WeNeedToTalkAboutIT · 25/11/2025 19:08

I came to suggest a giant poo emoji for the window, but stayed for the shitting santa.

Thank you, the lack of common sense and humour of some posters takes your breath away sometimes.

Doggielovecharlotte · 25/11/2025 19:09

they obv don’t have blinds!

Mydogsmellslikewee · 25/11/2025 19:11

Nasty bastards. I’m sorry, that would make me feel really shit.

ThisAmpleDenimCrab · 25/11/2025 19:12

Do more shits. It’s the only answer to that awful note.

themerchentofvenus · 25/11/2025 19:13

Omg you are living opposite a pervert!

They actually watched you long enough to know you were having a poo not a wee!!! Creepy.

We had something similar when i realised i could see into the downstairs shower of my neighbour when i was using my cross trainer. I had to politely point out that they might want to put some frosting on the glass as it was a little see through!

ChristmasLunatic33 · 25/11/2025 19:15

Figure out how to say "Enjoy the show" in Morse Code, and then flash that message out, open the blinds, and use your own toilet- in your own home- with gay abandon! 😉😂

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.

My thought - except that I was thinking of sticking a turd photo on the blind.

ChattyGeePeaTea · 25/11/2025 19:15

Shitting Santa sticker, for your edification. Or a slightly smaller one.

Although I also quite like this one (not shitting, but definitely seen something he shouldn't).

Edit to add that I think this is the best of the shitting santas. I now regard myself as a shitting santa connoisseur. Sorry for the Temu links but if you need an emergency shitting santa, that's where you're going to get one.

They have shown themselves

Smile and wave, when you see them, nothing more ☹️

ThreeSixtyTwo · 25/11/2025 19:17

YABU
I'd suppose you wanted to know.
And I'd see a short informal note as much easier for both parties than talking face to face about this.

Yes, the wording might be a bit better, but the message was there- the frosted glass isn't enough.
They had no way of knowing you were planning the blinds for the next day.

babyproblems · 25/11/2025 19:17

You could get a window sized lifelike poster of someone sat on the loo and put it in the window 😂 bin the letter!!

Charlize43 · 25/11/2025 19:17

Send a note back:

Hi Neighbour. I'm having a shit at 8pm tonight.

Send it on notepaper that you'd use for a party invite.

That’s genius 🤣

Calliekins · 25/11/2025 19:19

I'm sorry but that is just vile, I mean who on earth would send a note like that!!!

Laylamum2 · 25/11/2025 19:20

We haven’t actually seen our opposite neighbours yet so not sure exactly who lives there. There is a Range Rover Evoque which hasn’t left the drive, that’s all I do know!

We have met both neighbours either side of us who are lovely thankfully.

Someone with appropriate IT skills would very quickly be able to scale this into a window sized image, laminate and attach to the window. Hopefully image makes it through the filters. 🤦🏻‍♀️

caganer.com a most unusual website/store in Spain!

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

That do, Miss? Terribly sorry for wasting the class’s time, Miss.

I'm feeling snarky tonight, clearly. I did notice that bit after I had posted, but couldn’t really be bothered editing my mistake. I figured most people would just ignore! My reply still stands anyway - write the message on the lower part of the window and lower the blind just far enough that the rude neighbours can see that there is a blind there.

Charlize43 · 25/11/2025 19:21

ColaWars · 25/11/2025 19:18

That’s genius 🤣

There's more:

At 8pm, be at the window waving at them.

(Just in case their curiosity was piqued).

Bedtelly · 25/11/2025 19:22

Never ever get a blind 😂

MyChristmasCheerHasBuggeredOff · 25/11/2025 19:22

Why would they be looking in
They are weird
Ignore

Well, I did suggest a kid, but people here seem convinced it was the adults of the house who must have sent it 🤷🏻.

I'd apply Okham's Razor to this mystery.
