Last night, I noticed from my kitchen window, I can see through the shadow of someone taking a shower in front of his bathroom window from the other side. I couldn't see the person completely, but seeing his action of showering & and the blur of private parts is bad enough, isn't it? I am not sure if the tenant realizes him showering in front of the bathroom window is seen by the neighbor buildings.
This is not a crime as the windows are in original condition (the not 100% clear type, but if your lightbulb is really bright, then it can be an issue), but if I am the person, I would prefer not having anyone seeing how I take my shower.
Should I tell make a note to all tenants in the building to watch out so that I don't embarrass the particular one in the specific unit? Or this is considered ok in HK as long as the face is not seen?
Advise pls!

Perhaps you could slip an anonymous note under the door...

Make a note to all tenants. You are doing a good deed.

I agree with Ed. Slip him a note under the door. I mean, if it were me, I'd like to know and if I got a note under my door, I'd be embarrassed as hell but I would appreciate being told.

That should do it. No need to make a big deal out of it.

Since all the windows are in these original forms and situation like this can happen as O.P. has encountered, it would be for the best of interest to all tenants to take note of it. Making remedy will be up to them.
s1339, you will be doing a good neigbouring thing (that is, if it is your intention) as informing one unit and informing all units in the compound makes no difference to you but it will make a lot of differences to the unsuspecting ones.

why do you assume he doesn't want everyone to see him?
Please support our advertisers:
Agreed with thunder. There is the possibility that your neighbour really doesn't care who sees him naked. That would leave you as the only party who really has a problem with the situation. If so, it would be best for you to source some curtains.
It sounds as though the glass is partially frosted anyway?

not really kim...it just means OP is the only party who has spoken out in this forum...who knows how many others are uncomfortable with the situation in the surrounding buildings? a simple note seems an easy thing to do, and IF the guy is an exhibitionist, he'll ignore the note and continue what he's doing...then anyone offended can go and get curtains...

My shower is right in front of the blurry windows too. When I moved in to my new flat, I didn't realise that people can see my figure when taking shower until I saw my husband from my kitchen window. So whenever I take shower now, I would switch on the lights above the sink rather than the light above my shower. It makes a lot of difference. I would suggest you to slip a note under the door. I think it's unless to notify the management office about this.

Actually this would be my opinion as well.

I guess as much - those that have the 'don't care attitude' must have a good body they want to exhibit - each to 'their' own - no problem there!!!

So TLWalther you suggest that in HK, you do nothing and in North America, you do! Why? What and where are the differences? Are the people/race there more worthy for you to make the effort and HK not? I really don't get it!!
P.S. Don't forget that HK is an international city - so to speak.

Loyd, "houh lahtga" could certainly translate into "hot stuff" - but only relevent in your case if you had a red hot chili pepper up your "glorious middle aged pizza honed ass"!! LOL

LGMV - we are talking about natural human behaviour here, not politics. Politics can be dirty - all around - let's leave it to the experts.
The OP was just asking advice to tell or not to tell as she is uncomfortable with the sight. Opinions differ and it's OK - but please don't blame it on 'the cultural thing'.
BTW, if I must, I would rather be a busy-body stopping a brawl on the street in HK rather than in North American because in HK I might get hurt whereas in N.America, I could accidentally be gun-down.

quote from dadda...
"if you want a peek, then peek. If you don't, then don't". Well put
"Putting notes around the apartments is silly". Nobody suggest that, not even the O.P. ha ha ha....I can imagine if the compound consists of more than 50 units...and the person sneaking around putting little notes into the doorways and got caught........
Life is too good to be too serious.....peace.....everybody.....let's just laugh it off!

last time a middle aged man undressed in public, the po-lice blew his head off...(by accident, ahem)...just make sure to remove any chairs from the vicinity, and for god's sake, don't urinate whatever you do! (but that's a whooooole other thread...)

Yes, dadda, I can see you are confused. Make a NOTE, not NOTES meant the OP would be like asking management to put a notice on the hall-board to inform all tenants of this drawback regarding the window-pane issue which some may not be aware of and may wish to rectify if necessary.

TL - N.America have highrises too - so what is the difference when you wrote "this is HK, not North America" so one should take action there and not in HK??.... comparing the 2 places gave me this impression & causing me to connect to racial prejudice - it's just that simple!
Please support our advertisers:
Oh, for god's sake!! What's all this nonsense about racial prejudice?? Why not keep on topic? Best advice is just slip a note in his letter box ("not sure if you are are of this but we can all watch you having a shower and see your, er, bits.... But do you have to soap them so vigorously and for so long? Gives all the girls a good laugh, of course...."

foxmulder, please don't swear - it's not funny. Have some respect for religion!
Please support our advertisers:
Respect for religion?? Why? The great delusion: the opiate of the masses; the cause of so many wars in the name "God" (remember Bush's "God has spoken to me" comment?). I have absolutely no respect for it at all. You should develop a thicker skin. But then this is all rather off topic, isn't it?
