Don't look in my window, but look in my window!

It seems to be going away, but the Dutch custom is that people didn't put curtains up in their living room windows. And since the sidewalks are right beside the residences, it's quite easy to look into people's homes. But one is not supposed to look into the windows. That is rude!!

However, people put these things in their windows to be looked at: little figurines, photos, plants, etc. What is the point of putting the items in the window, facing the street, if not to be looked at?

It's almost like a woman wearing a deep cut shirt and complaining that her breasts are being looked at.
