Over exposing neighbours...how to deal?

amtc

Quite an embarrassing issue. And one I have no idea how to resolve.

I live in a duplex where my sitting room and my spare bedroom both look out at the back, with a wall between me and the house behind me. I have direct view of their bedrooms (one of which appears to be rented out based on the fact I have seen it on daft). I don't know these people.

I sleep in the front bedroom.

Anyway my boyfriend stayed over last week for the week and would get up in the morning earlier than me to have a cigarette out the back. He came back to bed laughing that the woman in the house behind was masturbating up against the window at 7.30. This continued all week. He found it funny. I didn't! I kind of thought he was making it up but got up early myself today and there she is, window open, curtain back and "enjoying herself". My boyfriend says she definitely saw him and progressed to waving during the week (now I'm not too impressed at him staying to enjoy a show either!)

Having said that whatever she chooses to do in her own home is her own business. However I have my aunt, uncle and two teenagers coming to stay for a week next week and their rooms will have direct view of this.

Now I can hardly pop round and say don't do this! But I can't keep the back of the house completely of bounds. Whereas I do have blinds, they both smoke and are prone to getting up early. They are extremely conservative. I did say it to my mam and she said just to ignore it. My dad however says I should confront it. But how?

I know it's embarrassing, but I would recommend calling round, armed with chapter and verse above, and just say something along the lines of 'I have some children coming to stay, so if you could knock off the **** in the window that'd be great. I'd hate to have to get your landlord involved'.

It's the only way to deal with this, unfortunately.

You could put a letter in the door telling them you will send photos to the guards if it continues.

That's really sad behaviour TBF.
