when it gets dark early, I like to look in people's houses through their windows while driving by. I hardly ever see actual people, just the empty rooms...which leads me to make up stories in my head about what they're doing.

An ex said it was sort of creepy and sleazy to do that, and maybe it is, but I figure if they don't want people looking in at them, they need to pull their shades or close the drapes.

The joke's on people who stop and stare.

However, I know it must be out there because I came across this on the internet. Does anybody know if it works as well at night as it does during the day? Usually these things revert when it gets dark.

Found out one night that when the light is on, one can easily see the form of a person pulling their pants down and sitting down.

Couldn't see anything thru the window during the daytime but at night with the bathroom light on was different story.

We stayed in a rental once which had clear glass that opened up in a privacy garden and it was really cool.
