German here: we have the same, the judgmental seniors‘ stares are worth more than any camera here
That’s why I walk around naked in my apartment.
I feel like there is not a single country that has not been in a variant of this meme lol
I think this is actually a global phenomenon. The truth is, many elders are profoundly lonely, reaching out for human connection through their windows. It’s heartbreaking. They belong to a generation that doesn’t connect through the virtual “windows” we rely on. But in the end, who is truly more lonely?
I used to say I lived in a town so small the neighbor knew you took a shit before you were finished wiping.
The upside to nosy neighbors is that if your kid stumbles and scratches their shins, she’ll be right there with sincere comfort and care. The same kid will hate it when they become teenagers, but they’re pretty much insulated against becoming tween-members of “foxtrot” because the whole neighborhood would know instantly. Upsides and downsides.
American here. I’d prefer a flesh-and-blood annoying old neighbor over some bloodless surveillance state
I actually feel like Norway is one of the countries where this meme is the least accurate. I associate this more with Southern and Eastern Europe.
Source, none just anecdotes after having lived in all the regions.
