The OP toldBored Pandathat the thing that she found the most surprising was “the fact my neighbor wanted to control what I was wearing in my house and was probably watching me in my underwear”. She said that the family didn’t really have a good relationship with the neighbors even before the incident; and it’s unlikely to have made it any better.
While some surveyssuggestthat as much as 86% of people in the US seem to like their neighbors, the rest don’t feel as fond of them, and the main reason for that is reportedly them being too nosy. The OP’s neighbor, peeping through the window and seeking to control what people living around her are wearing inside their own homes, is arguably a great example of one nosy individual.
While such behavior is understandably annoying, some people admit that they have become the nosy neighbor themselves, partially due to the ever developing technology.A surveyof a 1000 Americans found that using neighborhood-focused social media or technology made roughly a quarter of them more nosy. In addition to that, it has made some of them—roughly one-in-six of the respondents—more paranoid about neighborhood activity, while around 60% said it made them feel safer.

Needless to say, people living around us can make the area feelmore welcomingor turn it into aliving hell; anyone who’s ever had a nosy—or noisy, which might sometimes be even worse—neighbor can arguably attest to that.
According to the Vice President of Search Marketing at Homes.com, Grant Simmons, people often consider “location, location, location” to be the key element when choosing where to live, but neighbors are a significant part of that location component.
“Nothing enhances or diminishes a community’s attraction as much as the residents themselves, especially in areas where a neighbor’s behavior can directly impact those around them,” he toldSWNS Digital.
Luckily, some statistics show that quite a few people are happy with the people living around them.In France, for instance, roughly three-in-five people say they have a rather good relationship with their neighbors (nearly a quarter say they’re actually on very good terms with them), whileamong the Brits, as much as 86% get along well with people next door.
