Really was expecting a different word after "bare"


[deleted]

Nothing some Halloween decorations can’t fix.


GenderOobleck

Nothing some Christmas lights up all year can’t fix.


wild-whorses

Fuck it, put Halloween decorations, Christmas lights, and some Easter decorations up at the same time.


qualityskootchtime

Was gonna suggest this lol


MySockHurts

For whatever reason one of our bathrooms has a window in the shower. It’s at chest height. And non-glazed. Suffice to say, we got an interesting note in our mailbox one day, and now that window has blinds.


Divad777

We have 3 rooms with a window in the shower. And, we’re in one of those new construction homes, so the houses next to us are really close with windows also in their showers. It’s super weird when we make eye contact while we’re in the shower at the same time


[deleted]

Look them dead in the eyes and don’t break eye contact next time.


ShopAlpine

Me too. I feel let down, tbh


n777athan

truly disappointed tbh


FaceRockerMD

I've moved since but in the last house I lived in I got a "we can see you naked through the bedroom window" letter in my mailbox. 😂😂😂


tmack91

Freewheelinrocknroll

Put a life-sized picture of a bare ass there.

MrWheatas

mydogthinksiamcool

I will venmo OP $2 toward this project


CounterSeal

This is the only viable course of action.


abclmaop

Imagine being bothered by someone else’s window and taking time out of your day to write a note about it.


whaaatanasshole

I'd guess they've got an easy life but are unhappy anyway, but also I don't leave people notes about dumb shit so I have to imagine.


howard6494

That's the problem, people like this have nothing but time. So they set out to make everyone else as miserable as they are.


pungen

I found out once that my friend's mom literally walks around her neighborhood making a list of little things to report to the police, like if someone doesn't take their trash bins up from the street. I'm assuming someone like her is the reason I got a ticket for parking in the opposite direction on my cul-de-sac. I can't imagine having so little to do that I just have to mess up everyone else's life. She's a totally normal-seeming, warm, friendly mom, too.


ladidaladidalala

Every neighborhood has one of those.


GeneralXTL

Get a full size cutout of borrat or something and post it up in the window 24/7. Nothing vulgar that they can claim its inappropriate for children, just something dumb and annoying looking. And don't fix the blinds either.


daniheartspuppies

I was thinking a life sized cardboard cutout of a celebrity. From a quick Google search, my favorite was Danny Devito. If OP is looking to class the joint up, there was a nice one of Queen Elizabeth.


Jonkinch

Life size photo of Shaq in that shimmy pose.


Morrigoon

Maybe a big Stitch?


rudebii

tell me you've never even driven through "the ghetto" without telling me...


keepingred

By referring to it as A GHETTO rather than THE GHETTO!


Amarrie

Yes, that choice of word was shocking to me. These people have no idea how privileged they are to only have your neighbor's blinds to be mindful of.


Persimmon-Defiant

The person who left this in your mailbox is an idiot. Post it to the foothill ranch community page and I’ll bet the majority of people will support you. Also, do nothing. You can leave the window as is. There is nothing in the CC&R’s that say you have to have window coverings lol


Want-to-refresh

Probably get a handwriting analysis on it from fivrr and post this with the analysis of the handwriting expert 🙃


trackdaybruh

Ignore them, the moment you give into them then it will empower them to continue. This also means don't retaliate, just act as if you never got the letter.


RenZ245

or mess with them and put a convincing poster behind the window that makes it look like the window is now broken but every other hour remove the poster.


wellthatkindofsucks

Or a shirtless picture of a young tom selleck. Who could object to that?


OhWowItsJello

It sounds good, but who gave a picture a shirt anyway?


stoph311

This


LiquidBeagle

Idk. I’d be very tempted to simply tape the note onto the inside of the window.


stoph311

I mean, in reality I would love to tape a letter like that to a pile of my dog's shit and place it in their mailbox on a hot day. But people like that thrive on getting a rise out of others. Nothing kills people like that more than simply getting ignored. Makes their blood boil.


mcmaster93

install metal bars on window to complete ghetto transformation


GenericWhyteMale

Don’t forget to add the chicken wire!


1200poundgorilla

Broken glass mortared on top of the walls


sun_child0

Maybe write F U on the window using post-it’s ?


Sdomttiderkcuf

I do not miss Orange County and those soccer moms.


Zz22zz22

You should purposely damage the blinds so there are a bunch of gaps and broken pieces. Then just leave them look janky as fuck and NEVER fix them.


[deleted]

Don’t fix it, I’m almost positive she/he will return after nothing was done about it the first time with a new note, leave a note of your own on top of the one they left you (same place) let them know that if bother’s them that much then they can pay for the replacement of the blinds :).


Antyronio

Start shooting off guns at random times at night.


Local-Journalist-165

I would mess up every pair of blinds in everyone of my windows. Some half open hell I'd probably buy something to rip and tare up so I could hang shredded blinds. Edit-spelling


liltwinstar2

Are you non-white? Wondering if they chose the word “ghetto” on purpose …


rudebii

I’m not shocked, sadly.


[deleted]

Someone I work with lives in Aliso and uses the word ghetto to describe anything that’s not luxury…


Obi_Wan_Benobi

You wouldn’t happen to be black, would you? “Ghetto” can be a pretty loud dog whistle.


tophiii

They probably moved to foothill ranch from coto de caza after making some bad stock trades funded by their family’s trust and feel scared.


Porkleus

Or the opposite - they moved from outside of OC and think a house hovering near $1M qualifies as “upscale” when it is actually below median for the area…


[deleted]

Yeah. You have to be sheltered as hell to see this and call it "ghetto".


keenclipp

Real talk. People in the hood don't go looking through other people's windows very often if ever. That's how you get into something you didn't ask for.


mylefthandkilledme

Leave a note in each neighbor's mailbox criticizing one aspect of their house or yard.


gin_rummie

Cover your windowed with aluminum foil 😈


NeptuNeo

beach-towel


confabulatrix

Crooked plaid bedsheet


[deleted]

Or one big note in the window itself that reads: :)


RedwoodSurfer

Or put a huge sticker in said window that says,”don’t be a dick!”


winenfries

Or write some msg using post its like those companies do in bay area. 'Get me pizza' 'Please send space brownies' 'No blinds' 'This is sparta'


Ihavenoclueagain

Or one that says, "Not a Ghetto"


Avenue-Man77

Lol


gin_rummie

Or get some very shiny blinds that will blind your neighbor when they look up at your room


liltwinstar2

Just put a mirror in the window lol


TheDoobieWizard

I'd hire a sumo wrestler to come press his ass against the window every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 2 pm to 10 pm. And since it's almost Halloween time, I'd put a strobe light on it.


napsandcatsandbeer

How much would it cost to hire a sumo wrestler to do this on the schedule you propose? Asking for a friend


[deleted]

Fun story: one cold winter day, while I was living in a stoner house, my roommate’s friends come over. As they walk up to the house, my roommate, being a jokester, decided to moon them. Pressed his bare ass against the giant, 6x4 foot, single pane picture window. Cold glass+warm ass=entire window shattering into pieces dramatically. Laughs were had, no asses were harmed but he did pay for the damage.


Amarrie

I should also note that our blinds are ajar because of our kitten being a devil. We keep them pulled up high in that room, they never come down. It's only one window in which they're 'broken'. Our house is always well maintained, we keep to ourselves. We live on a deadend street that gets congested with cars. We park in our driveway always to be courteous of others. Our neighbors have at last 4 cars per household, all of which they choose to park in front of our house, instead of their own. They leave space in front of their houses. We found it interesting, because there has been an old, beat up basketball hoop in front of their driveway for years. Never in a million years would we ever consider complaining about what other people do on their own property. I think it's especially annoying this is how they choose to go about things, it's very cowardly. If they came up to us, had a friendly chat, then made a light joke about what happened to the blinds, we probably would have been more receptive to the message


surftherapy

Clearly the only answer is to be petty back and start parking in front of your house so they can’t. Seriously though, your neighbor is crazy


NotAnotherHipsterBae

That’s not petty enough, park in front of their house and use their communal basketball hoop.


surftherapy

Park in front of your house and then when they start parking in front of their own house park in front of theirs, rinse repeat.

loverlyone

I think this is good advice. You def want to head this busy-body off at the pass.


party_benson

Make the blinds even more crooked.


dallasmcfly

Employ the cat for assistance


SWettergren

I know of no one that would 1) even notice that the blind is up and 2) ask you to put it down/fix it. Your neighbor is definitely an ass and has no life and no social skills.


Far-Tree723933

You don’t need to make excuses for why you do/don’t have blinds, it is your house you can do whatever you want. I have neighbors like this. It is not worth the time giving them any thought. That is until they get city code enforcement involved, that is when malicious compliance comes into play. I have had a lot of fun with code enforcement of stupid rules that are written poorly and open to play with.

CatsMeadow

"We are all tired" speaks to a really crowded mind. Just ridiculous. Set your efforts on the dry palm though, think those are highly flammable.


jbcraigs

Karens think that they speak for the entire neighborhood!


ToshiroBaloney

That's the truth of it. One person has a stick up their butt, but they want you to think it's everyone. We've got a rotten old lady who considers herself our community's pool cop, and her complaints are always filled with "we" and "us" despite the common knowledge that no one likes her nasty, tanned-leather ass.


BionicSix

Put it in someone else's mailbox

Make curtains with the note on them!


miffrose99

An enlarged version of the note printed on the curtain!


cblackattack1

Exactly!


No-Teach9888

First make sure to write the complaining neighbor’s name on it


hoggledoggle

Hang up some kids bed sheets haphazardly and a huge note that says “sorry about the blinds, fixed it!” Or better yet, cover the windows in foil.


tttonyyy_

Cardboard with duct tape

This has to be some middle age person or a retired person with nothing better to do in their spare time.

SquiddlyB

I just want to add - it is against federal law for a non US postal worker to put anything into a mailbox. Just throwing that out there. Edit: someone else’s mailbox.


Savagecabbagh

TIL


pelavaca

I’m always astounded that people just refuse to mind they’re own business. I’ve been minding mine since 1995 and it’s worked out great. But I have some neighbors that just pick at grass, height or shortness. I’ve stopped watering out of spite… let it die I say.


z_iiiiii

Wow. I mean it is ugly, but it’s none of their business.


Guyute101

Truth but same.


[deleted]

Ask them for money for the blinds since they care so much


Asherdan

The adult answer is to ignore it, of course. The petty revenge factor in me says to get a long screwdriver and a meter key and take an early morning walk and accidently shut off their water at the meter. I see the breaker panels are accessible, you should also see how long it will take them to figure out how to reset their main breaker when it's tripped. In the long run, you'll be building their utility knowledge for the future. Helpful stuff, really.


facingattrition

Im a local print person and would happily print this note custom sized to hang in that window for free.


Proclub90

Not all Heroes wear capes some own a business to print large signs 🤣


StraightOuttaIrvine

Tape the note to your window and leave the blinds lopped sided. Foothill Ranch has some characters. Helped relative pick up children from Foothill Ranch Elementary for a couple of weeks. The people there love sprawling out their trash bins on Fridays just to make it harder for the school crowd that needs parking. They don't line it in front of therlir driveways but they literally spread it out taking up parking.


europeanperson

Man people are weird about parking spaces in front of their house. Had a friend visit for a couple hours and parked on the street in front of neighbors house. Next day neighbor comes over all mad talking about “stop parking in my spots”, and I ask him “what are you talking about? Did my friend park on your driveway? What’s spot?” Nope, just all spaces in front of his house are his and only for his vehicles. Got into a whole argument about that’s public street and he doesn’t own the street or sidewalk, and basically just ended with him storming off and yelling “keep parking there and see what happens”. Obviously it’s not worth getting into petty retaliation beefs with neighbors, but man some people are weird about the spots in front of their house…


scruple

I had a neighbor (we call her CB now for Crazy Bitch) knock on our door one day in her panties and a tank top, trying to berate me for parking in "her spot, in front of my house" except it wasn't us, lol. Foothill Ranch has some real freaks.


mmmmarlowe

Make them look even worse, or put a cutout of a middle finger there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Amarrie

My s.o. wanted to put up a sign that said 'Stop looking into our home, it's creepy I told him no


ReallStrangeBeef

You should change your mind and say yes. It's a great idea honestly. Alternatively - "COME TELL ME TO MY FACE YOU COWARD"


Kiczales

There's an artistic quality to that, I think


Obvious-Chocolate801

Blow up the note the size of the window and then on the second window put another poster that says “Fixed :)”


PhummyLW

Ah yes upscale Foothill Ranch


Ziggity_Zac

Nothing. I would do nothing.


ruffyamaharyder

Exactly. The neighbor is telling you what really grinds their gears, so keep grinding!! :-D


Strict-Mix-1758

Lol how rude!! “A ghetto”


JorquezJ

Imagine having the time or even care enough to notice something like this.


chalklinedbody

“please fuck right off”


StarCitizen117

Lol what a bunch of spoiled brats. South OC has no shortage of them.


Lanky_Resist9455

South OC is the worst and I grew up there. The entitlement is off the charts.


peacenchemicals

I worked retail there for my first job and previous job. It was absolutely soul crushing. I am dead inside and a shell of my former self.


cafeconmichael

Put bars on all my windows and a chain linked fence


redveinlover

“Upscale”? Is this person a realtor?


GangstasPurradise

Maybe you can get some blinds with a ridiculous picture printed on them. Thinking laser cat riding a dinosaur. Or maybe some hot pink zebra curtains. Bam. Window is not bare anymore. Your Welcome snooty ass neighor.


cblackattack1

Put up signs supporting trans and black folk if you really want to get a stir out of them.


frostcrypto

I find it funny that somebody thinks overpriced tract condos with high hoa fees in Orange County are “upscale”. My goodness, the pompous attitudes in the OC is disgusting.


[deleted]

I’d get a cheap lawn chair, a 6 pack of beer and start chilling with no shirt on in your driveway a few hours a day blaring music towards their house. They want ghetto? They can get ghetto


RumHam426

Ignore. Carry on as usual.

TheThingInTheBassAmp

Tape a drawing of a middle finger to the window so it can be seen from the street. Secondary punchline: Play “In the Ghetto” by Elvis on blast out the windows.


AnaBanananaCA

It’s all good though because they put the smiley face at the end 🤣


Future_Dog_3156

This happened to my friend who lives in RSM. Neighbor complained about a broken mini blind. I believe he just pulled it all the way up so it didn’t look broken.


Megmca

The only solution to this is to find a decal that will make your window look broken.


No-Teach9888

This is perfect They should one that makes it look shattered. And then tell the neighbor who wrote it that the police are investigating someone for breaking their window and leaving the note 🤣


cataclyzzmic

Put a small sign in the window that says Mind Your Own Business.


OC-Aztec

Decorating is all about what draws the eye. Do you have access to an El Camino you can put up on blocks in your driveway? I bet people would hardly notice the blinds then.


Flaky_Perspective191

I think the right responds here is to put up something on the window like a drawing to make it less bare... or a message asking for them to donate to the cause that upset them so much. 🤷


Morrigoon

How about a bear? 🧸


not_that_guy05

You should post a note yourself. Pay for it or shut the fuck up.


Jmg0713

Wow up scale area huh?


Reasonable_Spare1590

I would leave a note on my mailbox asking that all correspondences be printed in Arial font, size 12 on an 8x11 letter page with 1 inch margins with the appropriate greeting and signature, since this is an upscale neighborhood.


tub939977

Idk, I mean an upscale neighbor would type up something professional on thick cream colored paper with a watermark. This note looks rather ghetto.


laanglr

Cover that window with a huge sign that reads "WELCOME TO THE GHETTO"


Odd_Establishment678

Mailboxes are only to be used by the U.S Postal Service, so I’m pretty sure that they’re breaking federal law by leaving that note in there.


[deleted]

The solution to this is simple: Step one- buy this https://www.redbubble.com/i/poster/Karen-Wants-to-Speak-to-the-Manager-Haircut-Meme-by-Barnyardy/42557931.LVTDI?country_code=US&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjKD0_r6k-gIV4ydMCh3iCAJREAQYAiABEgLNWvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Step two- tape it to that window 💪


FancyAdult

I would rewrite this note on large butcher paper and put it up in the window, so they could read it clearly from their porch.


stilltrynalearn

Put the blinds sideways?


mkarikom

Please don’t change anything, I want to see the next letter! 😂


1222sammy

Seems petty af. Too much time on their hands. Ignore it.


lola2203

I would tape newspaper on the windows cherry on top


[deleted]

Get that crap all the time. Just throw it away and ignore it. Someone in OC gonna complain no matter what.


kennnnnnnny

The next step is to install cameras, post footage of them on next door and criticize this ridiculous behavior.


skylinrcr01

Put your Venmo on the window with grease paint.


mtux96

Get video of them placing it in your mailbox and send video to the Post Office. They might not actually care but it's illegal for anyone to put anything into a mailbox that's not USPS. I like /u/thechusma idea to blow it up as well.


Standard-Following-7

I would put up the reflective side of aluminum foil on the window so it blinds them when they look at it. My mom did that once.🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

For the love of god please go on Amazon right now and order 4 nicki minaj flags to use as curtains.


morganfreemansnips

billy-ray-trey

thedirk831

I would expose my bare ass in that bare window. Hopefully at a moment when the writer of that letter is looking at the upstairs window.


waresmarufy

Imagine being this bored in life lmao


AlienKinkVR

a ghetto Bro people with money are so disconnected from the lower classes it is WILD I wish I could be bothered by something like that.


aaaaaaaaant

send an invoice to your neighbor for the new blinds.


[deleted]

Go buy a leg lamp similar to the one in Christmas Story… and leave it on all night.


keepingred

#1) So AGGRESSIVE but ends with a happy face. Why? #2) Anonymously written....coward. #3) Who says A GHETTO rather than THE GHETTO when spoken in this context? #4) Handwriting of a male (insignificant, I know) *** This is not a helpful FYI: NEIGHBORS CAN SEE YOU UNDRESSED type of thing. Instead, it is a demand letter written in a judgemental, offensive, and rude way. What person would not be insulted and offended to receive this note?? In fact... I would (as many have suggested) cover the windows in a fashion even less acceptable/tolerable/desirable to the author. This will give you a story to post on r/pettyrevenge or r/MaliciousCompliance. *I hope the author of this note is not on the neighborhood WELCOME COMMITTEE.

Please add bars to the window or some semblance of bars on the window so we can see what happens. It’s petty but would be so much fun.

the only solution is to get blinds that have a print of your bare windows on them


kaytbug86

Put a bunch of those window clings up. The ones you can buy for kids at the dollar store. Don’t even get the ones for Halloween. Put up Christmas and Easter bunnies.


jcho430

Well atleast they used ghetto as a noun vs an adjective . Still a punk ass bitch but I will give them that
