Couldn’t be more true.. Auto garage nearby has a sign on the door, in French, that basically translates to : “God sees everything, the neighbor sees more.”
In my case though my neighbour is more watchful for us then against us. The type that she does not let us get in trouble and watch the house for strangers when we are way. But on the previous place we lived near Zürich we had a retirement home next to our building. That was extreme 😅
It’s south Italy, not Switzerland. In the original meme you gout inspired from.

The old lady is just figurative, in reality it’s all your neighbours. Back in the day when I live in a small village, neighbours would sit in their gardens or balconies and half of what they did was to observe their neighbours (other half was to pretend they were good neighbours living a happy life). I had people I had never seen before ask me “aren’t you the guy who lives with blablabla and bought a new gas grill?”
When the meme hits too accurately
But then your security cameras caught someone snooping around at 01:00h in the New Years day, and no one saw shit!
My neighbors give 0 shits on what’s going on… I seem to be the one who actually see’s it all… With the cameras!
Germany too 🤣
I love that meme, but sorry to break it to you this pretty much is universal to any country😁😅
And i say more power to it given what some people allow themself when none is looking.
Not gonna lie, sometimes I realy don’t like it, they know every time if you have people over, they know when u get things. (My appartment burned down a while ago and I order sometimes more sometimes less decoration) so they automatically assume things like I have a shopping addiction and whatever
You could make an alternate US panel with an older overweight white guy with a beard wearing a ball cap and and carrying a gun…
Omg it hit right in the alley
This is the real reason why the Nazis never invaded Switzerland. The Gestapo was afraid of this Swiss ‘secret service’.
This post will make more sens in Lebanon, at 9 10 am, since at that time, all neighbours meet for a coffee, their routine talk, on the balcony or on the streets, looking at anything and making fun of it.
I feel like it’s very italian too
Cameras are less opinionated. When did a camera tell you what they think about the ethnicity of your visitor? Or look at you with that look that you absolutely know is disapproving? (joke of course, not rooting for more automated surveillance. Stay strong granny “Flowerpot”)
Literally Ticino
Is it really? Almost all my neighbours are pensioners and not one is like that at all
Not really true its like in the us and uk in balkan the picture would be true
Jebemti mater tize nachbar tut marihuana rauhe im stube. I rufe polizei sofort an
I will always remember getting to my car parked on a yellow line.
When about to leave an old lady shoutted at me :
– “you are lucky the cops are coming”
– “thanks for watching out” i replied
– “I called them on you”
aha so sincere, i could not be mad
I guess that I have seen this meme for every country on earth
I have seen this meme for every nation by now.
Funny story: my bike was stolen about a year ago and I reported it as stolen immediately, and we did get it back which is pretty rare since where I live many bikes are stolen and then transported to countries like Poland or Romania. However, the same day we reported it the thief was looking for more bikes in the neighborhood and an old lady thought he looked suspicious and alarmed the police, who then caught the thief who still had my bike and thus I got my bike back. So thank you old ladies for your help.
The psychology isn’t strong in the top row. By monitoring “everyone” you turn “everyone” into enemies of the people doing the surveillance. Good luck getting “anyone” to cooperate when you need them to.
