No such a thing as total privacy in a home.
Long-range camera lenses are abundant for this purpose.
If someone wants to see you, they will.
Why take the chance?
Close the curtains and avoid temptation.

+5 yes i am afraid of the dark
by -NUNYA-- on May 4th, 2009
Yes I am pretty sure I would still feel the need to close them. +5
by holeinthewoods on May 4th, 2009
Sure would. I like my privacy. Just because you live in a house that's totally private doesn't mean people won't wander where they shouldn't go. Someone could drive down your driveway thinking it's a public road or to engage in illicit activity and wind up being able to see all that goes on in your house when you have the lights on, just like their own personal television set.
Also, closing the curtains at night would help eliminate that darn old Mr. Sun first thing in the A.M.

My home in North Carolina is, like, TOTALLY private. I never bother to close the blinds. I keep scaring off the deer. :-)
Down here in Florida, I gotta be a lot more careful, though. There's at least one oldster with her finger about an inch away from 911. If she's an ABer, I'll bet she DR's with the other finger! :-)

Yes. I am very paranoid.
by Stargater on May 4th, 2009
I don't close the curtains now, i like to look at the sky, so no i wouldn't:)+
by nutmegcollector on May 4th, 2009
Yes, I feel naked somehow if the curtains are left open at night.
by sassie on May 4th, 2009
only if I was planing on waking up after the sun came up. I love large windows but I also like it dark.
by account closed. on May 4th, 2009
Nope, dont even do it in town
by johngo on May 4th, 2009
I live in a house that is totally private; it was built in 1832; it is a conserved building which means that it has (mostly) its original crown glass single-glazed windowpanes. The heat loss from the windows is horrifying. By drawing the curtains some of this heat loss is reduced. I draw the curtains, in fact, I shall do it as soon as I have finished posting this answer at 2049 hrs local time.
by Drastic on May 4th, 2009
Yeah, I probably would.
by Spicy Hot on May 4th, 2009
I would have at least one room completely private, but I wouldn't for the majority of the house.
by Nancy on May 4th, 2009
Actually, I live in such a house; but I still close the curtains at night.
by Twista on May 4th, 2009
Yeah. I do it at cottage. I feel more secure this way.
by IrnRose on November 17th, 2009
what do you mean at night, my curtains and blinds are always closed. the last time i opened my windows was in the weeks following hurricane Katrina.
by Midnighttoker on November 17th, 2009
Yes,don't want the critters looking in at me!
by Lion Heart sleeps on May 4th, 2009
Yes definitely I would. Telescopes have been discovered!
by Ironhead on May 4th, 2009
Don't close them now...so so.
by kazzzy on May 4th, 2009
Nope, I don't close them now and I live in the suburbs, but nobody can accidentally see in my windows; they'd have to be peeping on purpose and I don't live with that level of paranoia. I like to see the stars at night and to wake up with the sun shining in. :)
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on May 4th, 2009
I think I would out of habit.
by alwayscurious on May 4th, 2009
I still might, because you never know exactly how private you may have it.
by Taj Majal Love on May 4th, 2009
Probably not, I enjoy looking at the night sky.
by Galeanda on May 4th, 2009
I never close the drapes or curtains now unless I'm having a terrible migraine. I love light too much and have no need to block or hide. I want to wake up and see the sky and the trees, the view. At night I love seeing the moonlight.
by Ailsa on May 4th, 2009
I rarely close the blinds
My neighbour has often seen more than hes expected when Ive walked past the side window lol
by nzguy.. on May 4th, 2009
When I lived down under, my house was set in five acres of land and our nearest neighbor was about a mile away at first it was hard to get used to he privacy and silence.
For the first few months we would close the curtains but after a while we got used to it.
We never had to lock our doors and it was safe to leave most stuff outside the front or back door.
by tmot99 on May 4th, 2009
no. I don't now and I have houses around me
by wrdweaver on May 4th, 2009
At night. Guess would just feel more secure.
by Pixie - jeg er elsket on May 4th, 2009
Nah. Unless it was night.
by Ambrose the Colossal Praying Mantis on November 17th, 2009
Yes. I wouldn't want my captives to see daylight.
by john pennington on November 17th, 2009
There is no such thing as a totally private anything.
by Sharona Life is a Tale Told by an Idiot on November 17th, 2009
You mean no one can get in or out? Curtains would not be necessary.
by Ms.A on November 17th, 2009
Yes,I would.
by PrairieWind on October 24th, 2009
Yes,The light keeps me awake.
I need the dark.
