People looking in your windows!

    Just took down curtains in front room for a wash-computer is in between the 2 windows which are now sadly naked for the next few hours-since I've been sitting here I've been noticing loads of people having a good old look through the windows...there are 4 main types that pass:

    1:The sneaky sideways glance
    2.The full on gawk-no shame!
    3.The look straight ahead purposeful no interest
    4.The puzzled look of 'why no curtains,blinds etc'

    So my question:What type would you be and do you give a crap what other peoples front rooms look like??

    Why are you staring at passing people?

    They are probably just looking at the weird person sitting in dirty panties at a computer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,975 ✭✭✭W.Shakes-Beer


    I'd have a good full on gawk in to see if i can catch any filth.

    I recently changed the glass in my bathroom window from frosted to clear and NOBODY looks when I shower. I think we need to swop neighbours.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I'm the "curious glance to see what they're watching on telly" type.

    You should see the houses in Holland. Most of them, especially outside the cities, have no type of curtain at all and any passerby can see in.

    I always wonder how it affects the national psyche.

    What's a "wash-computer"?

    Why are you so concerned about clean curtains when you have dirty panties?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭Bipolar Joe


    I'm the guy who looks in with his face pressed against the window masturbating.

    Well with curtains everyone can see them. The only sense that would be affected is smell with the other thing so..............No lost my point <searches ground>.

    I hate people who look in windows.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    I'm a fucker for glancing in windows. It's mostly involuntary.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    same in my house atm, curtains down while painting and everyone gawks in, but I do it all the time too, just curiosity.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,645 ✭✭✭Daemos


    Shout out at them and ask if they see anything they like


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,389 ✭✭✭mattjack


    where you living OP ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,198 ✭✭✭CardBordWindow


    :DTo stop people looking at your windows, get a Mac!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,296 ✭✭✭Frank Black


    I hate those nosy gawpers that just stare in your window as they (slowly) walk by. I usually stand up and start waving at them – this seems to confuse/embarrass them and they move on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    Change your window glass to mangnafying glass....But dont walk by in the sun....;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Cianos


    I hate net curtains

    Just curious - how they lay their rooms out, the kind of decor they have... I'm crappy at deciding how to decorate and just paint everything white while waiting for inspiration. So I'm hoping I'll be inspired!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,288 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    Get creative.

    Aquire a mannequin and cloth it.

    Hang said mannequin with some rope, fashioned into a noose, from ceiling and watch the look on people's faces as they pass by and see a hanging body.

    Wrap some duct tape around your mouth and stare wide eyed out the window, with your hands seemingly stuck behind your back.




    See what they do :P

    windows which are now sadly naked for the next few hours

    Do you normally have your curtains closed during the day? Not too dark?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    There used to be this window that I passed every week day and there was a family in there in different snapshots every time I passed.

    Damn that's a boring story... think Chuck... spice it up...

    I think they had Madeline McCann in there :eek:

    because dirty curtains would be waaaay too disgusting.:)

    living room and kitchen are the 1 big room-huge sliding door in the kitchen solves the light problem-plus with this ****ty weather it's dark a lot of days anyway!:(

    I would be the type to walk pass without looking in - not purposefully not looking in though. I think what people do in their own house is their business. The exception would be if I heard shouting or loud noise.

    I don't give a crap what other peoples front rooms look like.

    It'd do my head in if there were people going by gawking in the whole time, irregardless of what i was at.

    There's a family in the town i live and their sitting room window is right on the main street. They always sit in there with no net curtains watching the telly. They should at least put in feckin blinds or something. You nearly feel obliged to look in and see what they are at.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,659 ✭✭✭Siuin


    One time I was getting dressed in my bedroom when I heard the elderly window cleaner climbing up his ladder towards my room. I jumped onto the floor behind my bed so he wouldn't see, but didn't realise that my leg was still poking out in clear view.

    Cue him rushing into the house to tell my parents that I collapsed in my bedroom :o

    I hate people who look in windows.

    I hate net-curtains! they are so awfull and old fashioned, no better way to reduce the light coming into your house *cringe*


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 2,159 Mod ✭✭✭✭Oink


    If you have a window without curtains, I may or may not look in as I walk by. You may or may not like it. I may or may not give a rodent's behind whether you do or don't. :)
