Couple receives passive letter from neighbor living 200 feet away, demanding they close the curtains after claiming she can see into their kitchen, so wife plots petty revenge to annoy her further: 'I'll really give her something to write a letter about'

Forrest Gump once said that life is like a box of chocolates: "You never know what you're gonna get." The more I hear that quote, the more I'm convinced he was talking about his neighbors.

Sometimes you luck out with the Friendly Smiths, the kind of people whose house always smells like cookies and who wave when you pull into the driveway. Other times, you end up with the Creepy Toms, who always seem to be standing just a little too still by the window. Unfortunately, we don't get to choose our neighbors, so every move is a 50/50 draw. This particular couple seems to have landed next to their own version of the Creepy Toms, roughly 200 feet away, to be exact. So when the wife receives a politely written letter, heavily seasoned with passive aggression, it's no surprise she's left feeling confused. The letter insists the couple install or use blinds so the neighbor no longer has a "clear" view into their kitchen.

The problem? At 200 feet away, there is no clear view, unless someone is making a very intentional effort to stare into your home. If the neighbor is so frustrated by movement next door, one would think she could simply close her own blinds…or maybe put down the binoculars. The couple disagrees on how to respond. The husband votes for silence and peace, hoping the issue resolves itself. Meanwhile, the wife sits at the kitchen table, plotting her revenge.
