nosy neighbor

Whew!!! what a habit is this. Looking at other households using a binocular. Yes you are right in thinking of teaching her a lesson. We have a neighbour who gets up very early in the morning and keeps going from house to house that are in the ground floor, and disturbs their early morning chores. We found a solution to this by offering her the responsibility of a honorary position. She rejected our proposal by saying that she have no time. One bold young gentleman got up and said, when you have the time to talk to my mom and delay my coffee in the morning, how come you say that you dont have the time to take this responisibilty? From then on she comes out of the house only when she needs to go out or when every one relaxes in the evening. Try giving her some responsibility, either she accepts it and gets busy or she rejects it and keeps quite. Also you could tell about her viewing all of your houses, when every one of your neighbour is present and when she is also present. She will not have any guts to repeat the same thing again.

oh my! is there really such a neighbor trying to find out things about other people?! she is obsessed. i guess she does need help cause meddling with other people's life like that is a serious ground for her being charged legally.. i guess cause its the person's privacy already at stake here. how can you feel safe with someone in the neighborhood like that? of course you would feel like someone is always watching you...

we also had similar type of neighbour. but thanks God they have now moved. we are at ease now. i really hate these type of people who unnecessarily take interest in others.best way is to avoid them.

You could do this. Take pictures of her while shs is using the bonoculars and then print out some fliers to post around the neighborhood. Our neighborhood watch Lady. She looks on us and see our every move. When you come home, when you leave. If you have friends you shouldn't have, you have someone always watching you.

Wow that is crazy. Not sure what I would actually do if was happening to me. This would be naughty but funny to me. Stand in front of your window without clothes on then turn around and have written on yourself or on a board around your neck saying.. did you get a good view from your bunoculars? That should get her to turn red and stop doing it. It is a bit extreme and maybe not something you want her to see but I think it would be funny. I am sure if she is watching she has already seen you. The thought gives me shivers. You might also try just putting up a sign on your window she can read that says would you go back in your house and stop spying on mine. I think that everyone in the neighborhood should do the same thing. It will let her know they all know.

what?! what can she get with that? my goodness don't she has a life? i pity your neighbor really...even me if i have a neighbor like that i will not know what to do also... i think talking with her is useless, maybe if i really want to talk to her about her problem, i will bring a psychologist with me, i guess she got a metal problem or something, no normal person will do that. if i were you i will ask professional help to help your neighbor.

Ok here is what you do. You and a friend stage a scene as to where someone gets hurt, not for reals just pretends hurt. Make sure she is watching and make it believable. Hopefully she will call the cops thinking something horrible has happened. Then when the cops get there nothing will be wrong and you can get her for falsely reporting a crime and trying to get you into trouble. Just a suggestion.

keep patient and tell yourself that such nosy neighor is annoying to everybody. if you try to give her a lesson I think she won't be your student.IMHO,absent treatment may be a good way.when the nosy neighbor find that everybody unlike to talk to her,she'll know the key point.

Yes dear Georgette, Someone should let her know what she does is very bad. Why should anyone listen to her when she talks about what she sees. Just refuse to listen to her. Or keep noticing what happens in her place. Just come out with it in her hearing. Just talk about the way that you know she has been watching every one with her binoculars and that you have seen her doing that. Comment a little loudly so as she hears that. Or give her something to do as Swaana suggested. You have to do something against this. That lady is a vulgar and interfering one..

do the same to her...by a telescope..and watch her every move...and talking about her with other neighbors and her to see how she feels like.. even better, invite her out with the girls and try to be friends...she is probably a lonely woman with no life and friends and nothing better to do...sad...she is trying to occupy her time with what she knows best...keep her busy so she doesnt have time to snoop or be nosy...

Oh my, we do have a nosy neighbor, too! I am getting irritated at times because they seem to check our visitors as if they're trying to scrutinize them. And when a guy comes at our house, they'd immediately think it's a suitor or something - without even asking who the person was! One time, a cousin dropped by, and they thought I was bringing in guys in our house! Ugh! Once, i put on the shower curtain in the half-wall that divides our house so they can't see anymore!
