A family I know live in a small terraced house which back sonto a similar row of terraced houses with small backyards. It’s an increasingly gentrified area and many of the residents have had loft and kitchen extensions and the like. One set of neighbours at the back have had their first floor bedroom extended over the kitchen with full length windows. The couple in this house have taken to appearing in the full length window in the nude at various times of the day and night. The families’ young children have had an eyeful several times! The mum is genuinely not happy about this and doesn’t want to see this show whilst the family are eating their breakfast. What would you do in this situation? go round and see the couple and tell them to cover up ? ( she doesn’t know them ) Keep the curtains drawn ? Just laugh it off?

Perhaps they think the glass iS one way and don’t realise they can be seen

If the uninhibited neighbours can be seen from the kitchen then likely they can see into the kitchen so will probably know they are on display! That being a strong possibility there does seem to be an insensitivity to others . I am no prude, and human bodies, nakedness are fab in the right place /right time etc but really it would spoil my fruit and yogurt to see a stranger scratching his bollocks so early in the day! I would call round or drop a note in saying you are not sue if they are aware that the local residents are not prissy but prefer not to have a cabaret at breakfast and perhaps blinds , shutters or even frosted glass would stop the neighbours being distracted at breakfast!
