They need to mind their own business instead of looking out their window, hiding behind the blinds in order to see what their neighbors are up too. Seriously, why do you want to know what they are doing? Know what they are buying or bringing home or what they are throwing out? Does knowing somehow enlighten you to spiritual ascension? Does it make you feel special and in control just knowing what their meal was yesterday? Or maybe you're so boring and can't get off soap operas? Maybe you really have NO life and get into other people's business just to feel like you do?
Whatever the reason it's none of their business. It's disrespectful and they act like teenagers gossiping to their husbands (or wives) about whatever they saw. I unfortunately live with someone who's nosy as hell and it's just as annoying as hell. I do not know what their reason is to be looking out the window EVERY single day, from a few minutes to nearly an hour staring outside like it's a television. Even when there's nothing interesting going on to be nosy about.
They do it so much that my cat stand on her hind legs and uses one paw to pull the blind down enough for her to see what's going on outside. As cute and amusing as that is to see that (I have pictures as proof) it's not polite and becomes a bad habit for impressionable beings.
I can totally understand how those that have encounter their own nosy people feel like. It's bad enough that they have to deal with those nosy people snooping around and/or watching them. But it's just as annoying when you live with someone who is nosy. After all, you can't escape or hide from them when you live with them. At least not until one moves away but that's only works when such an option is possible and so far, that's not something that's going to happen anytime soon.
But for now I have to put up with them trying to get into my business, those of my friends and their family. When they get pretty nosy I always change the topic, give them vague answers that don't satisfied them or just plainly tell them I don't know. It never stops them from "asking" but it's better than being outright rude because in doing so they'll act unreasonable and make it unbearable to be around them.
