"CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Residents in a Charlotte neighborhood say they are fed up with a neighbor they say stands at the front door of his home naked, but police say he's not doing anything illegal.

People in the Cardinal Glen neighborhood in north Charlotte say the man has been doing this for nearly ten years and on Friday, they called police again.

“I was out rolling the trash can on Friday and I just happened to look over there and he was standing there buck naked,” neighbor Pecolia Threatt said.

Neighbors say the man just stands there naked at his door several times a week. They're disgusted and fed up."

Maybe Ill move to NC.

[Journeyman]

1. Sometimes, only Randy Newman will do . . .

[NaturalHigh]

2. I have a friend who does this often.

He said that his mail man was a little shaken but his pizza boy is a trooper.

[prayin4rain]

3. Yeah, if there's not a law, then there should be. n/t

[HappyMe]

4. lol! Oh the poutrage!!

He's not doing anything illegal, and he's been doing it for 10 damn years. Maybe it's time they moved on to more important things.

[NYC_SKP]

5. Maybe they should just stop looking at him. How do they feel about naked dogs and cats?

I mean, they have wee wees and woo woos, too, and sometimes they're out there sniffing and even making boom boom right out there in public!

[Nuclear Unicorn]

30. Or maybe

they could engineer some way to fun a REALLY cold wind past his doorway.

[NYC_SKP]

31. Oh, that might give him testiclesicles!

[Nuclear Unicorn]

38. At least shinkage, and then he'd be too embarassed to "show himself."

[waddirum]

60. I don't think "embarrassment" is part of his emotional repertoire

He seems like he'd be proud of the shrivelitis.

[FSogol]

6. That's problem that can be easily solved with a paint ball gun.

[HappyMe]

8. It would certainly solve the problem for him.

The outraged ones would be in the slammer for assault.

[Blue_Tires]

25. Actually, if a bunch of women just showed up to point and laugh

that would definitely work...

Or the neighbors could just do the common sense thing and stop looking at the nude dude...


As an aside, you know what grinds my gears? Improper usage of the word "naked"

"Nude" = unclothed

"Naked" = unprotected

[NickB79]

65. Man, this guy would be fun as hell to piss off

If he were my neighbor, I'd have a list a mile long to yell at him every time he showed off.

"Hey Tim, thanks for reminding me I need to pick up a bag of baby carrots at the store!"

"Looking good, Acorn!"

"I guess that explains the huge truck in your driveway."

*Just standing on the sidewalk outside his house with a sign saying "Size doesn't matter"

[Spazito]

7. "Don't look Ethel!"

Still makes me laugh.

[jwirr]

32. Some good memories go with this. Our baseball team decided to streak the campas after a game

one night. Need to save this and show it to my great grandchildren.

[Spazito]

33. As soon as I read the header to this OP my memory went immediately...

to Ray Stevens and "Don't Look, Ethel" (The Streak) and I started to laugh while searching for the YouTube link never mind when I watched it, good memories indeed.

[Ilsa]

63. Heard it again last week. Laughed so hard.

Get your clothes back on, Ethel!

[Spazito]

67. It's a classic, staying in one's memory no matter how much time has passed...

It brings instant laughter.

[Fla Dem]

9. "They want to come together to help change that law to protect their children." Ahh probably

conservatives that want government out of their lives, until they don't.

[immoderate]

10. If god had meant us to be naked, he wouldn't have given us clothes.

--imm

[dorkzilla]

11. They’re okay with guns, but not someone being nude in their own home.

Gimmee a break....suddenly they’re worried about their kids.

[olddots]

12. He does this on Fridays

maybe someone should invite him bowling or to a group therapy group on Fridays .

[Skittles]

71. what if he didn't wear any clothes?

[HappyMe]

15. lol! That's probably an accurate depiction of the neighbors.

Thanks. I would have gone nuts trying to remember her name. Probably would have woke up at 3am hollering 'GLADYS KRAVITZ'.

[HappyMe]

17. Far stranger than a naked guy.

[SwankyXomb]

54. Forget the neighbors

There's more than a few in this very thread.

[Enrique]

24. wow she was funny!

[LanternWaste]

14. He looks rather like a PG&E employee.

He looks rather like a PG&E employee.

[Catherine Vincent]

18. It looks like you folks are okay with this

Never mind adults but what about children that happen to walk by and see this moron standing in the door buck naked?

[NaturalHigh]

20. I'm personally not too worried.

My kids are pretty sharp. They know what naked people look like. I'm pretty sure they would just cover their eyes if they saw this guy.

[upaloopa]

21. If you teach your kids that the body is wrong

and really push the modesty thing of course they will confront you when they see a naked man. They won't go into shock or any of that hurt business and you will have to explain away all you taught them.

[prayin4rain]

29. If people could at a minimum have enough respect

for each other to agree to cover their genitals in places regularly viewed by the public, the world would be a better place.

[prayin4rain]

39. Yep, that's the same as what this guy is doing. Once again, you nailed it. n/t

[prayin4rain]

43. Nope, it was contextualized by the OP. n/t

[JimDandy]

46. They've got a lot of skin in the game...

[BubbaFett]

36. I've nearly broken my string of pearls

for the sheer CLUTCHING!


Heavens to Betsy! Whar's me fainting couch?

The human body is natural.

[Xithras]

48. Yes, God forbid that a child see a naked human body. The humanity!

Think about the DAMAGE that sort of thing can do to a childs psyche!

And when you think of something, please let me know...because I couldn't come up with anything.

[Nevernose]

53. 50% of those kids have the same equipment

And the other 50% are going to see the equipment eventually. If there's nothing sexual to it -- no erection, no stroking, etc -- then I don't really see the problem with it. It's the difference between a nursing mother and a Girls-Gone-Wild video. It's just a schlong.

[NickB79]

68. Oh, the horror of the naked human body!

It's just a penis, after all. If generations of farm kids seeing big horse dicks swinging around in the pasture didn't fuck them up mentally, I doubt his little dingle is going to scar a few suburban kids for life.

[KamaAina]

22. Wasn't this an episode of Friends?

Who knew Friends was set in Charlotte?

[bravenak]

23. I bet nobody bothered to just stop by and have a smoke with him.

And just ask him to please wear drawers. He probably keeps it up to get attention and payback for calling the police on him. I bet he's not even there that long on his smoke break. I'm sure I would never even notice him.

[AngryAmish]

26. "keeps it up to get attention ..."

I see what ypu did there.

[TacoD]

27. He's lucky a cop's wife didn't see him

Eric Williamson was not so lucky http://www.creators.com/opinion/alexander-cockburn/the-right-to-remain-naked.html

[Politicalboi]

28. Well he can't wear

Yoga pants.

Where's the lawmakers in that state calling to outlaw being nude in your own home. Oh, it's a man never mind.

[JanMichael]

34. Stay classy fuckwit.

It may be legal but it is still tacky and assholish. I wonder what he is is really doing and why? Is he oblivious to other people? Does he think he is showing off? Is he looking for a date in the worst way possible?

Or is he like the shitheads that paint their houses purple in historic districts because they hate the gummit?

[lindysalsagal]

35. I'm no prude but that's vile. If I wanna see it, I'll take him out for dinner, first.

It's just as bad as walking down the street nude. It's him using the neighbors for his own sexual gratification. If he's standing there for any length of time, it's abusive.

And no, I'm not religious and I'm no prude.

What's so hard about putting on a pair of loose shorts? But with the shorts on, he probably wouldn't get off standing in the doorway

He's doing it because he knows it's disgusting, and it's not normal.

I would keep a close eye on someone who needs to do this, when a pair of shorts are so easy to come by. If he can pay his taxes, he can buy shorts at kmart or goodwill for a few bucks.

I should be able to walk down the street without being drawn into someone's sexual compulsion.

[Xithras]

49. Why do you presume that his intent is sexual?

There's no accusation that he had an erection, was touching himself, or was otherwise acting in a sexually aggressive manner. He was just naked on his own property. Nudity is not an inherently sexual thing.

[lindysalsagal]

51. When you're not willing to put on a pair of shorts, it's sexual. Exhibitionism.

He wouldn't get his jollies with his shorts on. And, he wouldn't loiter in the front doorway.

If he wanted a tan, he's not gonna get it there. He could do that in the backyard, but he wants an audience.

It's sick. Get a girlfriend.

[Logical]

57. So you think all nudists are getting a sexual thrill? nt

[Logical]

50. Here is a solution, DON'T FUCKING LOOK AT HIM! I never look at doors in my hood daily. nt

[prayin4rain]

55. Why does an entire neighborhood averting their

eyes make more sense than one man covering his genitals when in his front yard?

[Logical]

56. Averting your eyes? You stare at your neighbors windows and doors daily? nt

[prayin4rain]

59. If I'm walking in my neighborhood and someone is standing

in their front yard, I, and my five year old, naturally look at them and usually wave or something. Why in the world would a man be so intent on making his neighbors either look at his genitals or purposely NOT look at him. I think it's incredibly rude. Maybe there's more to the story and this is some passive aggressive gesture for something that has happened in the past?

[hunter]

40. We had an alcoholic PTSD neighbor who would stand in his backyard with his bath robe open.

He'd just stand there. When he had to pee, he'd just pee.

I could see over the fence, but our kids were small and they couldn't.

I don't think they'd have been too alarmed if they could.

They already knew our neighbor was an odd, eccentric, person, and so far as I know, he was harmless.

I talked to him a few times and he was really sad. Not only was he a Vietnam vet, his oldest son had been killed in a drug deal that went bad.

[anotojefiremnesuka]

41. He is on his property, in his house, hurting no one

People need to mind their own fucking business and STFU

It is a naked person, BFD

Nothing wrong with a naked body

[eppur_se_muova]

45. Obviously not black, or he'd have been shot on the first offense. nt

[uponit7771]

52. +1

[Xithras]

47. As a longtime (20+ year) practicing nudist, that's funny as hell

The upside to marrying a nudist from a nudist family: You get to see your spouse naked at the Thanksgiving dinner table. The downside to marrying a nudist from a nudist family: You get to see your father-in-law nude at the Thanksgiving dinner table.

The guy is inside his own home. The busybodies should butt out.

I used to have a neighbor who would complain to high hell about the fact that she could see into my backyard from her kitchen window, and she'd frequently see my wife, myself, or our friends naked in our backyard. One day I was offered three Italian Cypress trees dirt cheap (friend is a landscaper and they were leftover from a job) and I thought of her. I took the bushes to her house and offered to plant them outside of her window. When she indignantly asked why she should plant trees on HER property, I responded, "Because I don't have a problem with me being naked in my own backyard. You do."

We had the trees planted about 10 minutes later. After that, we got along swimmingly

[Trillo]

58. He's on his property, he's leaving other people alone, who cares?

Only in America can a naked spread of some media star be so good it causes others to rush out to the store to fork down hard earned dollars for a copy of the magazine, but a guy doing nothing more than standing in his own doorway naked is worthy of contempt and censure.

Perhaps this is part of what Azalia Banks (sp?) hates about America.

[Nye Bevan]

61. A little creepy that he enjoys exposing himself in a family neighborhood with children around.

I guess it's harmless enough but one wonders what motivates him to do this.

[tammywammy]

64. Agreed. n/t

[marle35]

62. Another reason I'll join an HOA

when I buy a home is this tacky nonsense, and the responses in this thread.

The front of your house is public view. What don't people understand about that?

[Reter]

66. Good for him, I wish the mall was full of naked people too

Sex in public can still be illegal, but we should always be allowed to be naked.

[Nye Bevan]

69. Personally, I prefer the food court when several people's sweaty naked genitals

have not been on the seats. But that's just me.

[Skittles]

70. aw no, aw HELL NO

MOST PEOPLE I DO *NOT* WANT TO SEE NAKED

to hell with that "BEAUTIFUL BODY" crap - most of them, NO THANK YOU

[prayin4rain]

72. Why make public sex illegal? For the pearl clutchers?

No, but seriously, do you think a naked mall would be hygenic?

[Brigid]

73. Just another annoying prick who never outgrew middle school.

The world is full of them these days.
