5 Ways to Spoof A Nosy Neighbor

Posted by Mrs Zeee on 07/07/2009

Some of you may remember my rant about the nosy neighbors who are always watching us. Although I hate the feeling that somebody is watching me and although they continue to get on my nerves, there is not much I can do about it without destroying the “peace.”

But what if there were something that could be done?

My hubby and I were joking around earlier and came up with these funny pranks on how you can send a message to nosy neighbors, or at the very least freak them out enough to finally leave you alone!

Note: JUST FOR YOUR READING FUN — I AM TOTALLY NOT ADVOCATING ACTION HERE!

5)Place mirrors facing outward in all of their favorite windows. When they attempt to see what you are up to, they’ll see themselves instead.

4) Plant a row of saplings all along the property line and explain with a straight face that it is for added privacy.

3) Take a page from the crop circlers and mow an ominous message into your lawn in plain view of their second level window.

2)Dig a mote around your house and fill with minnows. Add a sign that reads: “Beware of Sharks”

1) At night, when you suspect your neighbor are peeping, turn on all the lights and make your husband walk around the house in a pair of pants and these:

Yup, that oughta do it!

(too bad my hubby would NEVER agree to #1)

I must confess I do like the shrub idea and would probably do it in your case. Mind you I love greenery in general. Sorry nosey neighbors are difficult.

80-something across the street commented on: Bikini only worn in back yard, weird martial arts (playing pool), new paint etc. Found out she had binoculars next to the window. I started doing weird stuff just so she could have something to think about. Dancing while gardening, swinging upside-down from apple tree (I’m 50+), doing yoga wearing big stripey skirt, polka dot top and hat covered with flowery hat. I also put light blocking solid shades in my bedroom. She never mentioned another thing, just giggled like crazy. :)
