Caught By The Neighbours
A group for exchanging views on 'what to do' when you just got caught by your neighbour nude in your own backyard.
Surprising Neighbors...
Return to DiscussionsMy backyard is almost entirely fenced in and private, but one shared fence is "only" 6 feet high... I can sometimes see the tops of my neighbor's heads, but only if they are talking or doing something to draw my attention. I guess I assumed the reverse was also true, but I found out this week that they can see me when I am far across the opposite side of the yard. My neighbor mentioned to me that he thought I should "consider having that tree removed when the new owners move in over there (referring to the house on the other side of mine)...unless it gives you more privacy to be naked bac there." He said it very casually and without any apparent concern or judgement. I said, " Oh, I'm sorry if you've seen more than you wanted to." He kind of shrugged and said, "Ahh...just when you're way over there (by the tree, far side of the yard)" I'm honestly not sure if he was truly not concerned or if he was uncomfortable but not wanting to say so. Regardless, I'll be more careful in the future!

I had the opposite situation. I got a new neighbor on the side with just a 6' privacy fence. Since I knew that he could see over it from his deck I put a 2' wind screen on top. By the end of the summer it was in bad condition so I took it down. The neighbor saw me and asked why I had it. I told him that I would sun and swim nude and I knew he could see over the fence from his deck. He said that it wouldn't bother him if he saw me.
I live in the Phoenix area where most of the yards are enclosed with 6' tall block walls. I knew all my neighbors and we all got along well, none of our houses overlooked anyone else. I was always nude in the yard. One day, I was skimming leaves from the pool when a dog ball landed in the grass next to me. I wasn't sure which way it came from until the guy behind me put his head above the wall and asked if I could throw the ball back to him. I said, "Sorry, I wasn't expecting anyone to see me without... " and he said, "Dude, let your freak flag fly. You do you in your yard, and I'll do me in mine." I tossed the ball back, and he never mentioned it again.
