    Next time you see them if you feel that its still an issue, make a joke out of it. That way you're bringing it out into the open. I suspect that it's just them making light of the fact you saw one of them in the shower though.

    I thought that was what the neighbour had been doing?:cool:

    I think the fact that you are female and they are males somehow doesn't make it feel so bad.

    I wouldn't worry, they probably had a laugh and a joke about the whole thing.

    I wouldn't worry about it, just forget it, im sure they will...unless your 'gardening' every shower time lol.

    I now have visions of the OP brandishing shears at their window....:rotfl:

    I suspect you are far more embarrassed than they are.

    If in doubt, whistle And tell them ... 'Nice buns' next time you see them.:p

    Don't worry. They will know what kind of people you are over time.

    when I take my two-year-old son out for a walk he will stretch his little neck and peep into other people's home. One day we were walking a road higher than the house beside it, and a girl was in her three-point-undies sitting in the sofa and baby was just there looking into the window and would not go away for whatever reason, and the girl then saw us and she looked as if she was very unhappy and closed the curtain, I felt really really embarrassed.

    I suggest you to pretend nothing happened otherwise it would be reinforced.

    We have new neighbours two young builders. I happened to glance up to their bathroom window whilst I was in the garden I heard a strange noise and one of them was in the shower, the bathroom window is only slightly glazed so doesn't leave much to the imagination

    Lucky you! :D

    I wouldnt make a drama out of it tbh. It'll all be forgotten in the passage of time.

    three-point-undies.

    What are three point undies?

    Sambucus nigra - I think they mean the window was only lightly frosted.

    OP I'd forget it unless they bring it up.

    Get over it, if i were your neighbour I wouldn't be putting up a blind and to be honest you'd only ever see the top half of me anyway(unless you get a ladder to take a really good look) same goes for the hypothetical children they wouldn't see anything apart from the top half so no worries.

    When my neighbour (where I used to live) was accused by another neighbour of glancing into their living room, the latter took off all his clothes and waved his a**e over the balcony shouting, "What you gonna do about that? Eh? Eh?" It takes all sorts.
