Should someone have to get all gussied up to take out the trash?

No.

To add on to that, should a person have to worry about some weirdo taking their picture when they go outside not looking their best?

Also, no!

But that’s what the woman who wrote this story is dealing with and she’s tired of it!

Check out her story and see what you think.

Neighbour comes outside to take pics of me when I’m not wearing makeup.

“We live in a terraced street.

Well, this is weird…

When I’ve put some recycling in the bin, she will come out as soon as I came outside and put her phone up to take a picture.

She’s not shy about it and it’s when I don’t have makeup on and I’m wearing glasses she does this.

Some days her Ring camera flashes when I go into my front garden even though she lives across the road her camera is clearly recording.

What is up with this woman…?

She’s lived on this street for over 15 years as do I but I think she gets a kick out of making me feel uncomfortable and I am shy and insecure when I don’t have makeup on.

I don’t wear a lot, it’s natural minimal makeup, but I usually wear my contacts so I can look different and maybe strange with my glasses on.

How do I stop this?

When she next does this should I just take out my phone as well and pretend to record?”

Her neighbor is plain-old WEIRD.

Weirdos are gonna be weirdos…

She just needs to ignore this neighbor at all times!
