Writes Nick in New York: “Those of you who have ever lived alone will remember the feeling of liberation and wild abandon that comes with getting your first solo space after a lifetime of family and crazy roommates.”
He continues: ”Unfortunately, I’ve got neighbors across a very narrow alley (about 6 feet across) and all our windows face each other. When I first moved in I noticed their shades were always down so I carried on with the kinds of things mid-20s guys do when they live alone. I have no idea what they had an opportunity to see, but it was enough to inspire them to post this note on all three windows. Whoops?”

That Swan Lake solo was a bit much.

We were looking in your window and it was just so enticing that we couldn’t stop. Save us from ourselves, please!

Dear Nick: Install a pull-up bar across one window and work out on it daily. Naked.

Is anyone else reminded of the Roseanne episode with the old, naked neighbors? Or am I just too old for the internet?

“reasonable height” = low enough to just show his junk and nothing else.

Write a note and tape it facing their windows, saying: “Dear Neighbor: I’m BUTT NAKED, BUTT NAKED, BUTT NAKED!

Pfft. At my apartment, I do what I want, when I want, as often and as vigorously as I want.

Surely only one apartment’s shades need to be pulled down? Having both sides pull down their shades seems like overkill.

Wouldn’t one set of shades do the trick?

Team note-writer. Kind of silly to assume that they’re going to keep their shades down all the time for HIS privacy. He needs to pull his shades down when he’s doing things that should not be seen by the public.

I walk around naked in the mornings when I”m getting ready to go to work. I usually remember ot lower one specific set of blinds before I go to bed, but sometimes I forget. Sorry, neighbors behind me. Don’t look out your back window and into my kitchen window between 5:30 and 6:15 a.m., please.

So when did this change from “funny (if not necessarily “passive-aggressive”) notes from pissed-off people” to “notes”?

Could this be solved by using that weird frosted plastic film on the bottom half of the windows? Still lets in light, obstructs the view for the most part, but you can still see out if you’re standing up.
Actually the note is fairly polite and reasonable and while maybe three was overkill, I can totally see their point, you’re basically just across their living room.

I have problems with Vitamin D and my doctor advised me that for proper absorption, I need more sunlight exposure. He said to stand naked in front of my window for 6 minutes daily. Three minutes front and three minutes back.
Doctor’s orders.

I lived in a boarding school for a year, were we werent allowed to pull up the blinds. (Their reasoning were that someone might look in, and get tempted to steal.)
It was incredibly depressing. No way would I ever go trough that again. If you on´t want to look, then don´t. Simple
