Answer 3

A higher fence.

Answer 4

p**s them off by showing them that you have more than they have and you're better than them! hehehe..

Answer 5

Well, everyone is nosy to a certain degree. How would you know that they are nosy if you weren't paying attention to them?

Are you apartment neighbors or house neighbors? If it is an annoyance, the best way is to speak to them about it. Be careful how, when, & where you approach them.

I would provide you with a scenario of what to say/how to speak to them, but without knowing more details of your situation, my scenario could very well be way off the mark.

Answer 6

I take out my camera and point it at them.  It gets them confused as to what you are thinking and doing.  They will tend to back away.

Answer 7

Just ignore them. What they have to say does not have an impact on you if you let it. Who cares they are just people that happen to live beside where you live. You don't have to prove anything to these nosy people or just tell them to stay out of my business because I don't be creeping all up in yours or not

Answer 8

invite  them  in and  socialize  with  them. let  them  see  how  boring  you  are  so  they  will  go  away.  on the  other  hand you  might  make  new  friends.  why  do  you  think  theyu  are  looking  at  you?  maybe  they  are  trying to  get  your  attention throw  a  hot  dog  bbq and  have  them over.

Answer 9

call the cops anonymously. they will come out and tell them to shut up.

Answer 10

There are certain types:

Peepers: stare at you with hate or curiosity in their eyes. Get hedges and blinds/curtains.

The Perfects: They think theyre perfect and wanna check on you to keep their status or brag in between the lines. Tell them off or make them jealous.

The Lovers/Losers: They just need a friend or a lover and are very talkative and try to be your friend. Be friendly or hide. Or be nice and talk with them.

Introduce yourself.  Then it will be okay for you to look at each other.
