I don't know whether to LOL or EWWW

I just got an interesting phone call from my wife, who just had a very interesting discussion with my neighbor.

This past weekend I had a nice holiday BBQ at my house. We had a dozen kids running around, adults in the spa, kids in the pool, and too much alcohol being consumed across the board. At one point, most of us went inside to play with the Wii, but one of my friends and his wife apparently stayed in the spa while she played with a Wii of her own. My neighbor saw the whole thing, and just came over and complained to my wife about it.

Aside from sterilizing spa, I'm not sure how to respond to this. I could say something to my friend or his wife and embarass the hell out of them, but I'm not sure what the gain would be. My wife, in her typically vague way, is demanding that I do "something" about this without actually offering any suggestions as to what I'm supposed to do. My first thought was to laugh at the fact that they had the cajones to try something like that, and congratulate them on keeping their marriage spicy. My second thought was the realization that it would have sucked if one of the kids had walked out, or if the neighbor had decided to call the police instead of talking to my wife. Overall, I'm just having a really hard time getting worked up over this, which is apparently irritating my wife more than anything. I agree that it's bad form, but if the only harm is a shocked busybody neighbor, I just don't see it as a huge deal.

What would YOU do?

1. Enjoy the neighbor's shock

then sterilize the hot tub.

Nice line about them playing with their own "Wii" :)

[Xithras]

4. The pun practically wrote itself.

We really were inside, bowling on the Wii, while they were doing their thing. :rofl:

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. My only remaining advice would be to avoid letting them check out your

wine cellar, bomb shelter, photoghraphic darkroom, sauna, etc. :)

Edit: Or, make them wear those "home parole" anklet things which give off alarms if they leave the acceptable area.

2. "It won't happen again."

You can't really correct it. It's done. I'd say that with your concerns, that the next time maybe don't let Mr. and Mrs. Spicy occupy the spa alone.

What would I do? I know my male friends pretty well. I'd simply tell him, as an aside, that if he's going to score in my hot tub to be a lot more discreet, seeing as how the neighbor saw and could've called the cops. And what if some kid came out? He'll get a laugh, but he won't do it again.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Nothing to get worked up about. Just say "Tom, next time you get a handjob, don't do it in my hottub

Had a rabid neighbor about it. Thanks. And congratulations!"

[Xithras]

7. Wasn't just a handjob....

...but that's probably what I'll end up doing. It occurred to me that it's probably better for him to be embarrassed than have my wife embarrassed by the neighborhood resident gossip coming to our door, feigning indignation at my friends "perversion" (yes, she actually called it perversion).

6. the neighbor "saw the whole thing?"

what, couldn't look away? get the neighbor some porn so they can "study the problem" more carefully

[Xithras]

8. With this particular neighbor, it was probably the first naked person she'd seen since the 70's.

She's a nosy fundie gossip. By this point, half my neighborhood probably knows that two people had sex in my backyard.

[Ikonoklast]

9. Invite her over next time, tell her the couple she was watching having sex

knew she was watching all along, and were wondering if she wanted to join them next time as a third.

[XemaSab]

11. This is the correct answer

:D

[Xithras]

13. OMG.

I could do that, but I'd need to set up a video camera first. I could post it to YouTube and have an instant viral on my hands..."Fundy head EXPLODES after sex offer!"

Then again, I could be baselessly stereotyping her. She's in her 50's somewhere, and I know for a fact that she and her husband sleep in seperate bedrooms, so there's always the off chance that she might jump at the offer :dilemma:

[Ikonoklast]

18. Sure. Have your friends come over, and send the wife over to the neighbor

with a nice bottle of wine, a smirk, and an invite.

Have her wear something fairly skimpy, too.



Your neighbor is a dirty little girl and she knows it, she just needs a little coaxing to come out of her shell.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. She was probably watching with field glasses

and was so appalled and horrified that she couldn't bring herself to look away. After all, she had to watch the whole thing just to be able to report precisely with respect to the miscreants' wrongdoing.

[Kali]

12. god I would feel like calling the cops on her

isn't stalking illegal?

tell her they were married - and straight - what more can you do to promote good christian family values?

[Xithras]

14. To be entirely fair on that point...

I live in a ruralish area and we don't have normal fences between our homes. Her house sits about 30 feet from my house, and the only thing shielding her house from my yard is a seven foot tall blackberry bush. It offers plenty of privacy at ground level, but she can look straight into our yard over the top of the bush from inside her home. It's not like she was peeking between fenceboards...they were way too exposed to be doing that there while it was still light outside.

[Kali]

eh it was a party, a holiday,

and your profile says CALIFORNIA for f's sake! gotta maintain the reputation!:rofl:

[Xithras]

16. Lol, we already have a reputation.

We live in a rightwing rural area, and my wife is an openly bi elementary school teacher. My relationship with my neighbors, as you can probably imagine, is usually pretty colorful.

FWIW, it's not the first time that spa has been used for that "purpose" either...we're just discreet enough to wait until after dark!

[Kali]

17. just going to have to invite her over next time

that must have been a fun call for your wife, I'm not sure I would have been able to maintain my composure without bursting out laughing.

[mnhtnbb]

15. Get her a copy of the Sex in the City movie and tell her watching

the neighbors (or friends at the neighbor's house) having sex could be bad for her weight!

"My dog ran up on your dick...uh, deck" One of the all time funny lines.

:rofl:

[Redneck Socialist]

19. Let it go

Good for them

Tell your neighbor to mind her own business and tactfully suggest that your wife chill out. Unless your friends make a habit of getting it on in your spa I wouldn't sweat it.

20. Applaud the couple, ask your wife if she wants to try it, and call the cops on the neighbors.
