My first apartment in Germany, was the attic of a German family's home. It was three stories. The first story was an electric bill
payment/bank/bundespost place , the second story was their living quarters, and the attic was mine.
Well to get to the door to the street, I had to go through my landlord's apt...via a spiral staircase and more than once I caught him in the buff
just chillin' you know, watching German wheel of fortune. I would blush and run down the next flight of stairs, but every time I felt as if I had
violated him.
He never cared. Not one bit. It was the weirdest thing. I am American, so we are more uptight about that stuff.
I just wanted to share. If you want to keep them from invading your space, talk to them. Next time they are there, walk out and say, "hey is
everything ok? what are you doing?" They will get the hint or provide an explaination.
Sorry. I have been on the other end and it was uncomfortable for me.
