How well do you know your neighbors? One woman has left the internet in stitches after she learned that her neighbors might be a little more familiar with her than she thought.
Meg, who shares her life on TikTok under the handle @megmegmegitsmeg, is a Canadian living in the U.K. She has gained viral attention this week after she revealed how she had a surprising letter from a nearby school in a video.
In the letter, the principal from the neighboring school shared how they can see her bathroom window from the school's nursery playground.

Meg documented her experience in a video that now has more than 870,000 views where she read the letter to the camera. Addressing her as "Dear Resident," the letter urged her to consider installing a blind on her bathroom window, to prevent any potential discomfort for both herself and the children at the school.
"I'm so embarrassed," she laughed in the viral video.
She later explained that because the window has a frosted design for privacy, she didn't realize it was possible to see through. But when the light indoors is brighter than outside, the view between even frosted glass becomes clearer.
In the caption alongside the now viral TikTok video, Meg simply wrote: "I'm moving. Bye."
"How much did they have to see before they sent me this?" she asked the camera. "How much? How often?"

Expressing her shock, she even humorously compared herself to the infamous "ugly naked guy" from the TV show Friends and declared that she will never open her blinds again.
After her first video gained serious attention, she shared an update—firstly showing that she has installed a blind in her bathroom.
She also revealed how she had a friend examine the view from the window while she stood outside, and thankfully found that it wasn't as revealing as initially thought.
In over 1,700 comments, people on TikTok shared their reactions.
"Oml I would move asap," said Sarah. While TikTok user Ash Wolff praised the school's letter and said: "That's the most tactfully written letter. A lot of thought went into that."
Eyeoreski joked that Meg didn't need to worry because: "They won't recognize you, you'll be clothed when you step out."
"Oh, they definitely have a name for you," said 8Berly8. "It's the most exciting topic of convo in the teacher's lounge."
Issues between neighbors aren't always as politely dealt with, though. Like the neighbor who left an "infuriating" note to new tenants.
While others have taken the opposite approach to Meg, refusing to stop showering in full view of their neighbors.
