What goes on behind closed windows?

Goody2Shoes77

Not really, no.
In the world we live it's unfortunate but we have to be wary when answering the front door. Maybe the answer you got was a bit sharp and the way the door was closed in your face I'd be a bit miffed too, but I'd shrug it off and jog on. Naught I can do really, is there?
Suspicions about all the cars there and the one blocking the driveway, well, I dunno, could be any number of reasons for that - visitors, not paying heed to where they've parked. And as for the curtains/blinds been drawn, there are many genuine reasons for that such as privacy, it doesn't necessarily point at suspicious activity. Someone I know of draws their blinds because of lupus.....

I will refrain from mentioning race and area just to be on the safe side.

I had reason to call into a house today and as I was walking up the driveway I noticed that there were lot of cars in the driveway or thereabouts and all the blinds were down in the windows and over the window of the front door. I rang the doorbell and someone looked out from underneath the blind at the front door window then barely opened the front door ,which had a door chain on it, and very cage-ily looked out through the barely open door.
I made my request and got a reply of "OK" and the door closed.

Anyone else find that behaviour a bit odd?

My few doors down & a bit neighbour beats his wife. O - and his children watch - and he's a guard . And no, she won't press charges & his colleagues won't do anything about it. And he does it with the lights on & windows open.

I would love to take pics/video with a good camera through the baxtards window and post copies all over internet and neighbourhood.

All the curtains are drawn round our way, can't understand it. I'm out most evenings with my binoculars, trying to ascertain why but still haven't figured it out, yet.

In my last house I never opened the blinds at the front of the house. Mainly because we had dodgy neighbours, no net curtains and a lot of electronics in the front rooms.

We also had no doorbell and refused to answer the door unless we were expecting someone. Mainly because we paid no TV licence.

The closed curtains also helped to hide the TVs.

My deaf neighbour is a bit strange, she has every blind pulled down in the house, the garden is completely overgrown, she has about 10 cats a small puppy and 2 young daughters.

2 Years ago the house went on fire and my uncle who is a fireman attended it and told us the house was in such a state he was wondering how it was still standing, there were clothes everywhere, the toilet was completely blocked and they were using one of the spare rooms as a bathroom.
The council cleaned it back up for her and allowed her back in and guess what from the looks of the garden and the outside of the house it is back in that state again.

Thats awful, it sounds like the woman needs help coping. It can't be a healthy environment for humans or cats.

We read about people trafficking and women being forced into prostitution. So it has to be happening in houses somewhere in this country. Closed blinds/curtains and lots of cars in a driveway might mean nothing or it could mean something like that.

I notice quite a few houses round where I live with the blinds shut.

In all honesty though, if you are noticing all the time, and wondering whats going on in that house? is it any wonder they would keep the curtains shut? It just proves that people are nosey. Especially if you live in a place where everybody knows everybodys buisness.

Sometimes I keep the blinds shut in my bedroom, for no particular reason. Its probably more of a habbit than anything, and something that a young person would do. I found it funny when a girl I was talking to for awhile asked me why. The only way she could have noticed is when she was driving past in her car and she would of had to look way across the road, which makes that even more freaky..Like why was she looking at my bedroom? lol It also completely matched her personality, very controlling, jealous, if she seen me with another girl even just talking she wouldn't like it at all. So it says alot.

Don't worry - everybody knows including the police, his sergeant, his colleagues & half te neighbourhood. Not to mention his children who get to see it going in. And the social welfare won't get involved because " there is no case officer assigned to the children", and a witness cannot press charges - the victim of the domestic abuse has to. Shocking stuff. 2013? More like 1813. At least then he would probably be taken down a lane & taught a Lesson . Not now .

How do you know that?

This is one of those rare occasions where saying you are a peeping tom will get you off the hook.
