  Apparently the illiterate are welcome to keep looking.

  I’m sure curtains infringe on their rights to free expression.

    I’m with you, Sean. What is hard about blinds? A couple curtains, gee, tack up a blanket or a towel to cover the window if you’re broke, is it really so hard to close your window from anyone seeing in?

    Instead, they’d rather post a note about people peeping in, and the peepers are getting brazen by saying it’s not their fault for exhibitionism reasons. The last one just invites you to look, I think. “A guy in shorts, is that the Darwin evolution? What is that?” *peer*

    I probably should have mentioned that I am, of course, in full favor of young female college students expressing themselves nakedly in front of open windows in my neighborhood.

    I’m a patriot, y’know.

  I’m just glad the science of analrapy is finally good for something, even if it is just curing peeping Toms.

  Wait, are the windows fogged up, or am I missing my moment of clarity here? Are there candles lined up on the windowsill on the inside, and pictures of Tobias taped to the outside??? Or WTH? (And in picture #2, is that a curtain or a more temporary towel?)

  I AM SO CONFUSED. (But I’m also giggling at the reply in #2!)

    I think this is a window in a shower (those aren’t candles, they’re shaving cream and shampoo). I know, a window in a shower, it doesn’t make sense. I don’t know why anyone would build a house with such a big window in the shower (maybe it’s an old house and it used to be just a tub, not a shower?). But I have the same thing in my house, and it sucks. I’m pretty sure the frosted glass doesn’t do much (especially at night), and our privacy curtain sticks to us while we shower.

    In my last apartment I learned a trick to covering up shower windows. Get some Contact paper, or other translucent or opaque piece of adhesive plastic film. It doesn’t mildew, still lets in a little light, and keeps people from peeking in.

    Our shower window was in a basement apartment, and the glass wasn’t even frosted. -_- People would have been able to peep in without us ever catching them.

    Yeah, I’m going to go with, for the third photo:
    (a) We’re outside of the window, looking in. (Biggest clue? No locks or other hardware visible from this side.)
    (b) The products are lined up on the windowsill.
    (c) The pointless and crappy photocopies of Tobias, which really don’t provide any cover at all, are stuck directly to the inside of the window.
    (d) It’s been raining (or somebody’s sloppy with a hose), and the outside of the window is wet, hence the droplets in front of Tobias.
    (e) The window frosting is really pretty ineffective — you could almost scan the UPC on that red-capped can.
    (f) Based on what we know of 3 sides (2 visible, the cans implying the third), that window is set into a very deep windowbox. Which makes this all the more silly. A simple tension-mount cafe rod and a small curtain, and done. (Or two rods, one top and bottom, if convection currents keep pulling the curtain into the shower when it’s in use.) All parts likely obtainable at a nearby dollar store for the princely sum of $3+tax.

    and finally, for extra credit…
    (g) That house’s exterior is painted a really hideous color!

  About the `don`t stand in the window naked” thing…

  I can’t remember what happened after. There was this story last year about a dude getting charge for being nude in his home… a mother and her kid were walking by and saw him in the window. (Except that they were cutting through his yard?) Does anyone know what happened to that case?

  Anyways, I have one of those frosted shower windows and I hate it. I always cover it up when I shower. Especially in the early morning.

    The mother and kid were on an established path that cut through his yard while the nude dude was drinking coffee in his kitchen at 5:30am. The window faced the side yard/path. The case rested on intent – did the man intend for the boy to see him nude or was it purely accidental. There was additional concern because his house was across the street from a school bus stop, even though the incident did not occur in that part of the house.

    He was convicted – they ruled that since multiple people saw him over the course of several hours, he must have intended to be seen. I think indecent exposure falls under sex offenses, so there’s another one for the sex offender registry.

    If I found out there was a peeping tom, I’d arrange for the biggest guy I know (muscle-wise, not length & girth) to pose there at the expected time. Let him get the idea that my window is not worth looking into!

    Guess he violated the “Wear a Robe Law”.

    I’m burning mine this morning…avert your eyes, don’t call the cops or get the courts involved. Surely, they have better things to do.
    That judge is an idiot…otherwise anyone a peeping Tom views could be charged with indecent exposure because their nudity inside their own homes could be seen from outside their homes.

    Can you say “Blame the victim”, Your Honor?

    Dude’s lawyer was also an idiot…should have counter sued that the lady and her son were guilty of peeping.
    He’d have won. By her own account, she viewed this guy more than once. Why’d she look again?
    Yeah, he had a shitty lawyer.
    The man had an expectation of privacy when inside his home…just like women have.

    Is it his fault he’s better endowed than her husband?

    On the bright-ish side, he was given no fine or jail time. But he did decide to move.

    The person that made the report is a wife of an officer. A short research of the court documents even revealed her name. I’m not sure what the rules are on this blog but I will err on the safe side and say the name is out there.

    Simply put:
    She has undue influence on the outcome of the court case and the fact she was not charged for trespassing and being a peeping tom.

    On appeal, he was found not guilty – the jury took a whopping 20 minutes to decide, and probably half of that time was used by bathroom breaks.

    cb, thats friggin insane!! Everyone should have the right to do what they wish inside their own home!! No one is forced to look into someone else’s window, EVER. And why was there an “established path” through the guy’s YARD?

    I completely agree with you, and this ruling sets a disturbing precidence, what’s next? A women tries to prosecute a peeping tom who’s in a tree outside her second story bedroom window with binoculars, but because he can see her, even though only with maximum zoom and through a three inch slit in her curtains, SHE gets fined for indecent exposure?? Give me a break!

    I’m sure that was very comforting to him, and to anyone else who is comfortable running around their own home naked (I was prior to the house becoming overrun with children, now I can’t even be naked in my own bed ::sigh::) considering it took 10-15000 in legal bills to get that ruling!

    Absurd.

  Insecurities.

  If you cannot look out through your frosted window and see details, no one can look in and see details.

  If the former is not the case, please work-out more often.

  So what’s the logic behind the naked Tobias pictures in the third window? Did posters think that posting naked Tobias pictures would satisfy the peeping tom’s urge? or looking at that hairy body would actually repel him and he won’t look at showering chicks anymore?
  Looking at that picture some more I think Tobias’ sideways, eager and looking inside the shower pose would actually encourage the peeping tom to buy high power binoculars.

  This is my house.
  To clarify on some questions/statements:

  1. We are renting the house and just moved in. I’ve never had to deal with the whole window in the shower issue so I assumed when I couldn’t see OUT of the window clearly, someone looking in wouldn’t be able to see any distinct outlines or anything of that nature. Plus, theres a plant in front of the window. Sorta.

  2. The way we realized that this isn’t necessarily the case was when our neighbor on the other side of the house , an interesting toothless character named Doak, told me that the neighbor who’s yard the window faces told him he could see my room mate and I in the shower, and that he may be “looking in.”

  3. The last photo was taken from outside.

  4. Tobias serves no purpose but a supreme LOL to my room mate and I. Yes, we’re aware that the photos are of poor quality. Again, LOL.

  5. There is a towel now hanging inside the window. And none of our neighbors talk to us.

    Seeing that someone is in the shower isn’t the same as seeing the person in the shower clearly, but if it makes you feel any better (and you find some that go with your decor), they sell plastic curtains for windows that happen to be inside of showers.

    Much less tacky than a towel in the window.

    “…my room mate and me in the shower…”, care to go into detail? It’s been slow around here, and hot lesbo shower tales trump poor decorating skills any day!

    I had a similar problem and the solution I used was simple and cheap.

    Get some bubble wrap and Windex. (Actually, any spray works.)

    1) Measure the window and cut out the bubble wrap to fit.

    2) Spray the window and place bubble wrap over the window.

    The molecular adhesion will keep the bubble wrap on the window. You’d be surprised how long it stays up (6 months for me.)

    I originally found this method for ways to keep the house warm in the winter. This has a added bonus of keeping your bathroom slightly more warm during these cold months.
