And they don’t know that I can see them. The neighbors are new renters who are sitting in their hot tub on their back deck. I’m pretty sure they don’t know that I can see them from my porch. They have a privacy fence and trees, and due to the way the houses are built on the side of a hill have probably not considered that the neighbor up the hill from them can see over everything. So…should I tell them? Not now, of course. In the morning when everyone is wearing clothes. The view is nice, I’m not upset or offended. One of the men has an amazing package and a very nice butt. I’m thinking that I shouldn’t tell them and just enjoy the view. What thinks you folks? ---

Behavioral Darwinism. If they figure out that their neighbors can see into their backyard, they’ll adjust their behavior so they aren’t nakedly exposed to neighboring eyes. Otherwise, just enjoy the “natural selection.” I mean, don’t break out the binoculars or telephoto lens or anything… ---

Go outside and light your grill. Look over nonchalantly and wave at them, then go on about your business. They’ll either get the message, or they’re exhibitionists. ---

Rename your wifi to ICUnakedhottub? If you don’t think they’d be upset if they found out later that they’d been seen, and if you don’t mind seeing them, no need to say anything. Shining a laser pointer on them would be rude, right? ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > The butcher-- he brings the nice meat to events like this. The baker-- no party would be the same without his hot buns. The candlestick maker-- he’s just there to dip his wick. I so laughed at this. Yes, I do have a Renn Faire sense of humor, what can I say? To Jaledin, I see no reason that I should pay money to put up a higher fence because the neighbors don’t know that I can see their porch. I’m really not offended by anything that is happening down there. I was just asking if I should tell them that I can see them. **Capitaine Zombie** , they seem to be a traditonal couple. Both of them moving their stuff in together, they share their cars and put their trash out together in the same bin. They weren’t having wild sex with mormans or anything. The Carls (and yes, I’m going to use this irl) seem to be nice neighbors. I don’t want to upset people, but hey, one of them is really hawt and worth looking at. ---

They weren’t having wild sex with mormans or anything. Too bad. But why did you say “One of the men” then…, implying there were several men? Which would be odd for a “traditional couple”. ETA: btw, **flatlined** , I dont know if you’re a gal or a guy, butI just want to add, in the name of all Malekind, that an amazing package in rest mode is just promises. Not that I’m jealous at all here. Cause Im’ certainly not. Of guys with great packages and amazing butts. I really really couldnt care less. It’s not like my ETA is longer than my actual post. So, it proves my serenity over such matters. ---

**Spectre,** I thought that Jaledins response was odd as well. I’m a crazy cat lady, I don’t have dogs and I’ve never interacted with Jaledin before. Thank you for the good moderation. For the people who are reading this thread, I spend a lot of time outside. I see things that people probably think are private. I pay attention to what is happening around me. I was only asking for opinions about telling someone that I could see his partner naked. In my eyes, its like asking if I should tell someone that his favorite pants are transparent in the strong sunlight. ---

This thread is useless without pics. No, I would not tell them. The most I might do would be to bang around on my patio and make some noise to draw their attention to the fact that hey, if I can see that guy up there, maybe he can see us… Otherwise, just enjoy the view. Although I will agree with **Capitaine Zombie** that a package at rest don’t say nothin’ about whether you’ve got a grower or a shower there.
