Neighbours give couple a shock dressing-down

CHEEKY NOTE TELLING PAIR TO CLOSE THEIR BLINDS WHEN NAKED GOES VIRAL

- By HANNAH GRAHAM Reporter hannah.graham@trinitymir­ror.com @HannahGrah­am21

A COUPLE were left baffled by an angry dressing-down from their neighbours – who said they were sick of seeing them naked.

Karin and Jay Stone, from Lemington, Newcastle, were shocked by a rude note commenting on the size of various body parts, in which the writer claimed to be able to see through their windows.

The anonymous message even threatened to call the police on the pair.

The scribbled letter read: “Would you please close your blinds when getting dressed or undressing.

“We are sick of seeing big bums, big boobs and little willy and we will report you both for indecent exposure. “Your neighbours.” Karin, 33, said: “I don’t understand it, it’s not like we’ve been parading around naked – just living normal life.

“It does feel really creepy – I feel like somebody has been peeping.

“I’m considerin­g putting a note over both my windows saying ‘stop looking!.’ Really it’s just a bit excessive – if they’d just knocked on my door and said there was an issue with privacy, that would have been fine.”

But the couple can see the funny side of the note, which has sparked debate across the globe, after a Karin posted a picture of it on Facebook which went viral.

She said: “It’s really strange, my husband got the note, I was away, so he messaged it to me, and I posted it in a Facebook group.

“I woke up to find it had had about 15,000 comments in 24 hours, and I had a call to talk about it on an Australian breakfast show – it’s really surreal.

“People have been suggesting how we should respond – we’ve had a few more outrageous suggestion­s. Some people were saying we should start doing a choreograp­hed naked dance.

“We had quite a laugh about it.”
