Never tell them! Don’t you see??? When we’re all growing up as kids, we always ask ourselves, why aren’t the neighbors naked? And now you’re living the dream! Don’t ruin it!! ---

Neither **flatlined** nor anyone else here seems to have taken up my suggestion, which was to chat them up, get to know them, then maybe you could eventually **join** them hot tubbing. If you think they’re so cute, as you’ve repeatedly mentioned, why in the world didn’t you pursue that angle? Who knows, they might have been open to inviting others to join them, once you get on at least speaking-friendly terms, even if you are not of their preferred parity. They might simply be into not tubbing, even nude hot tubbing, as a friendly social activity that can be done with friends and neighbors. Maybe it’s not too late. Hey, it may still be possible. ---

Reminds me of when I was a kid. I had a friend whose next door neighbor sed to sunbathe nude on her pool deck. Oddly enogh, she always donned a bikini to swim. ---

I live in a retirement complex. I don’t ever want to see any of my neighbors naked. And I’m willing to bet they feel the same about me. ---

Lol, the crazy neighbour thing was covered in another thread about noise and neighbours. The OP is female, the nude couple is gay (and to add to the confusion are refered to as “Carl”, both of them), the crazy neighbour is a Cat Lady. ---
