Set liquor bottles up in your front window, buy a money tree it looks similar to a pot plant, set it in the front window, after they go to bed throw some beer cans in your yard, along with a few pieces of lingerie thrown about. do this for a few weeks, then when they ask you whats going on just say 'oh nothing'. And go about your business. It will drive them nuts. And maybe they'll move. lol

OMG, I used to have this same problem and still sort of do. They are so annoying, but with me it's on both sides. Ah! So I couldn't even arrive from school or work, walk to the liquor store, or wash the car, because they would always come out at the same time. How weird and annoying. It's not that I hate them, but they would always leave their house or arrive whenever I would too. Weird! Anyway, so yeah, they would aways stare and stare and when I'd look at them, they'd look away. LOSERS... They were never real nice neighbors, always throwing parties, loud music, throwing trash over, and blocking our driveway. That's what made me sort of hate them. Now I just ignore them, completely, and they get the hint that they annoy me. I do what I do and I sometimes check myself out on my car window, since it is polarized, and they just like watch me, as if I was some sort of model. LOL. Do your thing, 'cause we all live to do our own thing. Let them question you, they're just low-lifes. Roll your eyes at them and they won't stare again. Go out and be on the phone. Laugh out loud. That way they'll get to see you're loud, defensive, and can care less about what they think.
Always wear sunglasses, like real big, dark ones, and act very suspicious. That will freak them out. Never look at them. Pretend they're not even there. Or act completely bitter without getting really mad--this will make them stop staring at you. Give them your back and concentrate on your thing.
They prob. have a meth lab going on and are looking out if anyone else knows. Maybe... Who knows!

I would get blinds for all of the windows in your house and build a private gate around your house. But it sounds as if moving to another location would be the best choice, if that too expensive I would confront them/call the police. Sounds ads if your neighbors are creeps i would do something about it soon.
Hope this helps!!!:)

You probably can't stop them from watching you or judging you. But you can avoid contact with them. Everyone on my street pulls into their driveway and goes directly inside their house, shutting the garage behind them. If they do make eye contact with someone, they just "smile and wave". Try that. If the neighbor approaches you, you can just tell them "I'd love to chat, but I have to run". There's always an appointment, errand or phone call you can think up, right?

Have you asked them why they're watching you? Basically, they're invading your privacy if they know your every move. You could try calling your local police department and tell them what's going on. If they wont do anything, you might want to consult a lawyer and slap a suit on them. If you're short on cash, you could call legal aid and find out what recourse you have. That type of behavior would drive me nuts.

Wow! This sounds very wrong. When they ask a question state "That's an interesting question, why do you ask?" Makes them answer why they ask. Most are shocked and will say just wondering. To which you can reply, "Oh, interesting... so what do you need?" OR... simply state gotta run, and then walk away from them.
If it doesn't stop, then I suggest you move. Or if they ask politely let them know your life is private and you keep it that way, just as they do theirs. OR... if they don't get it politely state it's none of their business.

A polite way to tell them to stop is to immediately end the conversation when they start talking about it making it awkward for them and hope and pray they will get the hint. You can just try telling them to Screw Off or plain ignore them! I think facing the problem head on is the best and just tell them it is none of their business!

draw your drapes put a large light so bright it will hurt their eyes if they try to peek at you. use back door when you can, I am a single woman and I live alone. I had a male who lived across the courtyard watching me. When I came out he would run up to me and demand a date. I was afraid of him and afraid of calling police as I figured he'd harm me when they wqere not around. I used the light . went out the back in the daytime and found a friend to meet me in the courtyard if I had to go out at night i moved as soon as I could afford to go. It was terrible having him bother me.

Carry a shotgun every time you go check the mail or water the lawn......and always stare right at their house while you're out!
even better-- do it naked with a shotgun!
Surely they'll get the hint!
LOL...
