A funny story we thought was very amusing about the use of blinds:

Blinds in The Bathroom: Eight Reasons Why You Need Them

I write this article because I went for a walk last night with my girlfriend and my German Shepard “Buzz”.  We went for a late night’s stroll down my street, past the nearby elementary school, and then back through a neighboring street.  All was well: the conversation flowed, my dog was as happy and chipper as ever, and the weather was an example of a gorgeous early-September evening.

Then, without warning, I am subject to a horrible sight: an overweight middle-aged man sitting down on his toilet, reading the newspaper, using the bathroom.  The window extended to mere inches from the floor, and much to my dismay I could see everything.  In fact, a week later I am still having nightmares about just how much hair he had on his rear. 

So, without further ado I present to you “Eight Reasons Why Your Bathroom Needs Blinds”:

1. You probably aren’t a super-model
   C’mon, unless you’re got a five star body it’s unlikely that anyone is going to want to see you naked.
   
   
2. You pee standing up
   Alright guys, we all know that you like to pee standing up.  The real question here is why you want everyone in your neighborhood to be able to see your dilly-willy as you pretend to put out a fire.  I’m getting cheesed out just thinking about it (eww).
   
   
3. You like to get it on in there
   The bathroom is a place for cleaning oneself.  For some, it’s also a place for getting dirty- very, very dirty.  Now, as jealous as I am that you are actually getting some, please get some blinds and shield me from your pale behind. 
   
   
4. You sing in the shower
   Now, blinds won’t stop the sound of your voice from making it outside, but they will keep those who are unfortunate enough to be within earshot from being able to visualize and picture the person that is causing them to slowly go insane.
   
   
5. You value your privacy
   Let’s get serious for just a moment here and talk about this.  Why do you want people looking inside your bathroom?  Spend the $50 on some decent blinds for your house and be done with it- you’ll be able to shower in peace!
   
   
6. You own a bidet
   I don’t think this one really needs an explanation.  Hey, as long as you stay clean I won’t complain, but trust me, I really don’t want to see you use it.
   
   
7. You’re attractive
   Okay, earlier I said that if you aren’t attractive that you should get a good set of blinds (for obvious reasons).  Well, if you are attractive you’re still going to want to get blinds (lest you want members of the opposite sex starting at you every time you go into your bathroom).
   
   
8. You are on display
   All sarcasm and humor aside, leaving your bathroom window completely exposed leaves you completely exposed.  Everyone around you will be able to see what you’re doing while you’re in the bathroom, which aside from being a bit creepy and unnerving is also a huge invasion of your privacy. 

Investing in some nice blinds would prevent all of the above from becoming a problem, giving you good karma and making you well liked among your neighbors.  And besides, if you ever want to let the world watch as you pee you could always just open them.
