“My housemate sometimes gets paranoid that people like to watch us going about our day-to-day lives in our apartment,” says Elizabeth in Australia. And yet, instead of, say, window coverings, this note was how she decided to deal with the problem:

Can’t wait to see the PAN she puts up when people start vandalizing their place in response to that note.

Wow. Talk about asking for it. If I saw this, I might have to wait outside the window with a lawn chair and popcorn.
….Too much?

Now your place is on the internet, your perv followers just went from 2-3 per day to millions. haha. Even better though would be if this place had a webcam fixed on this doorway so we could all see you using the kettle and toaster in a state of undress in the middle of the night.

I’m not sure they AREN’T in a zoo exhibit, or possibly locked up in a mental institution…that wire mesh screams “DON’T STICK FINGERS IN, INMATES MAY BITE” to me.

Maybe I’m stating the obvious, but why not just shut the door?

I’m curious to whether they are worried the suspected spies are coming directly up to the window or spying from afar. If from afar then the bottom of the note definitely encourages the use of a telescope to read. If up close then at least these notes will cut down on any glass fog up that may occur from the heavy breathing that tends to accompany peeping Toms.

Excuse me, but that semicolon after the A is a direct violation of the rules of grammar. I’m afraid the punctuation police will require a redacted version of the note to be posted. They will be waiting directly outside of your window until you do so. Thank you.

I don’t understand…do the girls live in a cage? Have they been locked up for poor grammar useage?

I wonder if they’ve ever heard of blinds? They’re a wonderful invention. You can close them at night so people can’t see in, and open them in the day so you can see out.
People who have their windows open at night so everyone can see in, then complain that people look at them are kind of like women who wear highly revealing clothing, then whine when men stare at them.
Like, uh, duhh? Try thinking a bit next time.

I thought it was saying “go to ai zoo”, i.e. a zoo that features the ai (also known as the maned sloth).
The ai is well known because it isn’t tell you to fuck off.

Is it me, or does that look more like a prison cell then an apartment?

The awesome part is that Flatmate #2 posted this on the internet so that tens of thousands of people can look into their apartment instead. Globally!
Is that a lion face on that red sofa? Do I see a cheetah, too? It couldn’t be an animal-themed couch, could it?

Which way are we supposed to look? Apparently staring is wrong, so what should it be? Ogling? Leering? Peering? Peeking? Maybe a little “out of the corner of your eye” glimpsing?

Ok, ‘don’t look’. I get it, but I’m totally sticking my dick through that chain-link closure. Based on your note, I think you might be in need.

Call me crazy, but it seems that posting notes on the outside of a window that are intended for “outsiders” to read, is not only an invitation for people to look at the window more closely, but to come closer and look. Methinks someone actually likes the looking.

My big question is why the window looks like a baby gate. Possibly because one of the inhabitants is a big baby?

Oh wow ~ I really didn’t expect this to be posted on the website.
As much as I like my housemate, there are times where she gets on my nerves and does some really stupid stuff without thinking. I did tell my housemate to close the darn door but she doesn’t really listen to me – I don’t really get consulted on any decisions that go into the house so I thought I would put this up to prove these constant notes were STUPID (there are more that have been put up) I would put this up on a website she likes to visit.
And no it’s not an animal themed couch!

I think I’ve always misunderstood the term “window coverings”

I’m interested at all these people suggesting curtains and drapes… This is a door, not a window. It’s hot in Australia and many rental properties are woefully inadequate when it comes to insulation and cooling. Having the door open has been the only option at heaps of places I’ve lived in. However, I’m a guy and generally take the opinion that people don’t want to see me walking around my house naked and that if they do happen to see such a sight then it’s their own fault for invading my personal space by looking into my house.
All this criticism, do you people live in a land where it’s OK to look into someone’s house? It’s not here.
