My Neighbors Sit Under My Window To Spy

Lee, I don't think these people will like the way you handle this situation no matter what you do. I recommend not handling it at all for a month or two. By then they'll probably get bored and either come up with some other way to annoy you, or, hopefully, decide you're not worth the trouble.

I'd just go about my business like they're not there, and see if anything changes in a month or so.
 

If you have the type of neighbors you say you have then just move because no matter what you do now right or wrong they will eventually become the neighbors from Hell.

..but how can she do that when they're literally listening to her conversation inside her home then passing it on...

Not usually, they just sit under that window. On occasion that they do say something it is about their flowers. We have three windows on that side of the house, that is the biggest and I like a breeze.

At least they are not sitting under the bathroom window......now there's an idea.....I'll ask them to move there and sign in the shower real loud and I can't carry a tune. And hubby farts a lot in there. Between the singing and the smell, well nuff said.

Lee, do you feel like they are just real annoying creeps, that is bad enough imo,or do you feel like they are dangerous or could become actually dangerous, like might they eventually steal from you or become violent?

No, I don't think they are up to stealing or violence. Just too nosy for their own good. They are an elderly couple but I do have an idea that they would maybe like me to move.

Why? because I think they would love to buy my house. The reason I say this is because this is a mobile home community and like most communities parks the lots are on the small side. Their house and mine went up for sale within a week of each other and we bought first but I know darn well had they the chance this would have been their first pick. Both places were priced within a few hundred bucks of each other.

I have one of the larger lots in the park, on the other side of me is almost like a second lot so it gives plenty of privacy on the other side and allows me to have a good size veggie garden in the back plus green area beyond the fenced part. They are into gardening but just don't have much room.

This could be why their ears perked up when they overheard the conversation about putting the place up for sale and they quizzed my neighbor. If they ask again I told her to tell them we will sell for a half million cash offer only. ;) :ROFLMAO:

Just don't talk about them. Otherwise, unless they have something to hide, I don't see the issue. Someone comes over and says "I hear you're getting a new car!"....or whatever....I'd invite them in to talk about it over coffee.

Bringing Lee and her other neighbors closer might make the nosy neighbors MTOB and STFU.
 
I've watched every episode of "Fear Thy Neighbor." It is absolutely amazing how something like loud music, a barking dog, uncut grass, children on the wrong lawn, tree branches over the property line, can escalate into a deadly gun fight.
 
Would you be able to have security cameras installed around your house or even old broken ones or a fake camera and put it on that side of your house. If the neighbors are using an hand held electronic hearing amplification device I would find something like a whistle and blow it loudly.

I was aware they do this and generally close the windows when they are outside. And they do have a big enough yard and a deck so there is no need for them to sit in such close proximity to my house.

Another neighbor repeated something to me that she could have only heard through them. I had a conversation yesterday with my cousin about moving and she asked me about it. No one else was privy to this conversation.

When they first moved in we did talk but after awhile I found they give me the creeps and I want to be polite but distant. I never initiated conversations, and made excuses to excuse myself when trapped.

This resulted in them going to another neighbor who they know I am friendly with to ask this person why I was not talking to them. Then to add to it they confronted the handyman doing some work on our house. Both people felt as if they were put on the spot.

Don't laugh, it's not funny, but I have thought of discouraging their behavior by turning on the computer to either a porn site with moans and groans or perhaps to an evangelical Christian broadcast.

Think they might get the message?

Suggestions welcome.

Sounds like you got a pervert for a nieghbour. How about phoning your local police to have a "chat" with this creep!
 
@Lee , how about some kind of shrubbery planted on that side of your home? Rose bushes? I don't know what grows in your area and/what is fast growing.

I got a feeling from your one post they may want your place. You may be on to something. Stay strong. If they figure you won't move, they may just quit. Or they may die. :unsure: Don't let them kill you with their behavior.

yes but can you imagine..you're having a private convo with Michelle in your own home.. .. talking about the fact that one of your grankids is in debt for example .. and the next thing you know.. a neighbour further down the road is talking about your business, because the next door neighbours were sat under your window listening, and passed it on to everyone else..

Two years ago there was a fatal shooting in my state, over snow shoveling issues.
