Peeping Tom

One of my bedroom windows doesn't have blinds. To change clothes I've resorted to dimming my lights and strategically positioning myself so I'm not in full view of any neighboring windows.

While performing this difficult task several days ago, I noticed new neighbors had moved into the house diagonally behind mine. Someone was in the kitchen drinking a glass of what appeared to be milk. He stood perfectly still with his glass raised to his lips and chugged...and chugged...and chugged.

Perfectly happy to be a peeping tom, I watched for what seemed like several minutes, waiting to see him move. But he didn't. At first I thought he must be really thirsty and drinking out of a bottomless glass. But that was dumb. Bottomless glasses don't exist. Then I realized it's not a person, but a mannequin!

But it wasn't a mannequin. Just a really boring thirsty person standing perfectly still while drinking milk very slowly without doing anything interesting to entertain his peeping tom neighbor.
