Today, I moved into a new house. The landlord insists it's OK for her to come up whenever she wants because she owns the house. We aren't allowed to lock the doors and she has two 8-year-olds. They come into the bathroom every time they hear the shower running. We have a clear shower curtain. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to my step-mother taking a shower in my bathroom. Of course, this would be fine, if my bathroom wasn't connected to my room and closet, or that I live in an apartment in their back yard, built before she moved in. FML
Today, I found out that I bought a house next door to crazy people. She asked me if I would mind not showering when her husband is at home, because he can hear me and knowing I’m naked on the other side of the wall turns him on, which is a nuisance for her. He’s unemployed. He’s always at home, the creep. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I decided to sneak into the shower at her house while her parents went out to eat and a movie. Half way through our shower we heard a knocking at the door, it was her mom. We had left all of our clothes downstairs. Safe to say I won't be allowed there any more. FML
Today, I finally found a place to stay after being kicked out by my parents. The psycho owner waited till now to tell me that my bathroom door will remain locked at all times, and that whenever I want to go in there, I have to ask him to unlock it, then do my business while he waits outside. FML
Today, I learned it's not safe to take a bath if my aunt is staying over, because apparently she was never taught the "Knock before you enter" rule if the bathroom door is closed. FML
Today, sick of the unfiltered noise we hear from our neighbours in our upstairs apartment, as we're above their fence line, we signed the lease on an apartment downstairs. While I was downstairs, my partner clomped upstairs, opened the bathroom door, and took a piss. I heard EVERYTHING. FML
Today, I realized that my 14 year-old runs my home. She has her own room, while her 11 year-old sister and I (her mother) share a room. I literally have to get her permission to go anywhere as well. FML
Today, I moved into my new apartment. My neighbor is apparently crazy and thinks I'm trying to 'steal' her husband. She watches me and is super paranoid. I have a two year lease. FML
Today, after taking a shower, I realised that my landlord was peeking in the whole time through broken ventilator. Once he tried to get into my room, using his keys. I couldn't tell the landlord's wife, as I didn't have any proof so I left the house, even though my rent was long due. FML
Today, while I was sitting on the toilet, my toddler swung the door open. We just bought the house, and we have no curtains. Our new neighbor, who I haven't met, was mowing her yard. I stood half-naked to close the door, and our eyes met. I froze. She waved. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No. No it's not okay. If I'm not mistaken that's illegal for her to do.

Put a chair in front of the door. That will keep them out. It's not a lock...

It's illegal- unless the "house" is actually one of the couples parents and the "kids" are brothers. Which it sounds like.

I'm usually pretty sympathetic, but you deserve this one. A clear shower curtain defeats the whole purpose. Get a new one.

The purpose of a shower curtain is to stop water going all over the bathroom, duh. OP hardly deserved to have two kids and their landlady coming into their house at all hours because they have a clear shower curtain...

Put a dummy in the shower and wait for them in a different room. Then when they burst in the bathroom, shut the door and lock them in. ?

Two words. RENTERS RIGHTS! Look them up and make sure you look over your lease.

What is she going to do kick you out for not locking the door?

That's illegal without at least 24 hours notice

Anyone ever judge the usefulness of a clear shower curtain?

Keeping the water from getting all over the floor and outside your shower, just like any other shower curtain.

Yes but does it have to be CLEAR?

What people seem to be missing, is that the OP might not be renting the entire house. It sounds like she is just renting a room in the landlord's house, which makes it perfectly legal for the landlord to come into her living space at anytime, without notice. But if the landlord won't do anything about the little brat kids, move out OP! This will only be the start of your problems.

Actually, you would be wrong. If you pay money for a space to live, ANY space to live, you have a right to privacy.

if this was google id vote best answer..exactly what i thought..she has a certain right to privacy but the law is very different when the landloard lives in the home the tenant is renting versus an apartment a tenant renting

You need to put your foot down she does NOT have a right to come in when she wants and niether do her children . Nor can she tell you you cant lock the door .
