Adam Peaty has once again found himself at the center of controversy following his marriage to Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, after recently revealing a name change post-nuptials.
On December 27, the Olympic swimmer tied the knot with Holly Ramsay in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey, a celebration that notably excluded members of Peaty’s side of the family.
The couple’s decision to unveil their updated names shortly after the wedding sparked a heated online debate, with critics branding the move “pathetic” and “awful,” particularly in light of pointed remarks made by Peaty’s ex about the change.

Just two days after their wedding, and as the couple jetted off on their honeymoon, Peaty updated his name on social media.
He wasn’t the only one to do so, as his wife Holly Ramsay also changed her name.
The newlyweds debuted their updated names on their respective Instagram accounts, opting for a double-barrelled surname to honor each other.

Holly announced her name as Holly Ramsay Peaty, while her husband became Adam Ramsay Peaty.
While it is traditionally more common for women to take their husband’s surname, Adam’s decision prompted strong reactions online.
Social media users were quick to share their opinions, with many questioning the motivation behind the move.

One person reacted, “Changing his name to Ramsay-Peaty… It is hard to avoid the uncharitable thought that this is a business deal as much as it is a marriage.”
Another commented, “How awful that peaty decided to make his name different… and Holly possibly wants to hang onto her name because her father has made it famous.”

A third added, “For holly, i think she still wants her celebrity surname and its a nicer name than peaty. For adam, i think hes chomping at the bit to fully immerse himself into his new celebrity family and is loving being a ramsay.”
Some even dragged the Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay into the conversation, writing, “When they must know how much their good friends the Beckham’s must be hurting from their son doing pretty much the same thing… They seem like an amazingly shallow bunch.”

The remark referred to the reportedly strained relationship between David and Victoria Beckham and their son Brooklyn Beckham, who, like Adam, adopted a double-barrelled surname after marrying Nicola Peltz and now goes by Brooklyn Joseph Peltz Beckham.

The Beckham and Ramsay families are known to be close friends, often describing one another as “extended family.”
Shortly after Adam’s name-change reveal, his ex-girlfriend Eirianedd Munroe, who shares a five-year-old son, George, with the swimmer, allegedly addressed the situation, calling the move “hypocritical.”
According to a friend of Munroe, Adam had previously refused her suggestion that their son carry both parents’ surnames when he was born in 2020.
The friend told The Sun, “It feels a bit rich to Eiri that Adam has been quick to change his name but didn’t allow her the same right for their son.”
“It appears Adam is being a bit hypocritical.”

However, while Munroe was reportedly unhappy with Adam’s name change, she is said to hold no ill will toward Holly.
The source continued, “Eiri knows she is lucky that George has a stepmum like Holly. Although she says Adam has double standards over changing his name, she can’t fault him as a dad.”
Image credits: adamramsaypeaty
Another source close to the Peaty family told the publication that Adam’s new name “will feel like a massive slight to Caroline [his mom] and Mark [his dad], but Adam just wants the circus to end.”
They continued, “Holly wanted to double-barrel their surnames and Adam has followed suit. It’s what they always planned. His parents may be upset but it’s not intentional.”
Reportedly, the swimmer’s entire family, except for his sister Bethany Peaty, were uninvited from the wedding due to the ongoing feud.
According to multiple reports, the falling out between Adam and his parents began during preparations for his and Holly’s engagement party in December last year.

Tensions escalated further last month when Caroline was not invited to Holly’s bachelorette party, despite Holly’s mother, sisters, and family friends, including Victoria Beckham, being in attendance.
Adam’s aunt, Louise Williams, publicly criticized Holly at the time, calling her “divisive and hurtful” for excluding her mother-in-law.
Louise also reportedly sent her nephew a scathing text message moments before the nuptials on December 27, writing, “I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still.”
“Shame on you both. Shame. Remember on this, your happiest day, and on each anniversary of your happiest day, that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams.”
The controversy deepened further when Gordon Ramsay, during his father-of-the-bride speech, appeared to make a subtle dig at the absence of Adam’s family.
Referencing his wife, Tana Ramsay, Gordon told Adam, “Look at Tana, and that’s what you have to look forward to.”
He added that his wife “will be a good mum to them both,” before turning to his daughter and remarking, “Shame you don’t have the same.”
Addressing Gordon’s cryptic remarks, an insider told The Sun in a recent interview, “This was the Ramsays’ plan all along. They wanted Adam’s family gone, and they have succeeded.”
“Caroline did everything and more to help Adam. She and Mark sacrificed a lot to get him where he is. Adam ought to be ashamed of himself for going ahead with the wedding without them after everything they did to support him.”

As winter fully sets in and temperatures drop, Heidi Klum opted to go topless while enjoying a sun-soaked vacation with her husband, Tom Kaulitz.
The 52-year-old supermodel has been vacationing on the tropical Caribbean island of St. Barths (Saint Barthélemy) since Friday, December 26.
The couple jetted off after a snowy Christmas in New York City with Klum’s four children – Leni, Henry, Johan, and Lou, and Tom’s brother, Bill Kaulitz.
Heidi’s back-to-back bare-breasted photos from the island have gone viral, with netizens calling her a “n*dist at heart,” some even attributing it to her German heritage.
Image credits: heidiklum
On Sunday, December 29, Heidi Klum arrived at the beach wearing a cherry-print white bikini set under a sheer floral cover-up, paired with white sunglasses, a beach bag, and Birkenstocks.
However, soon after, the model ditched her bikini top, leaving her breasts completely exposed, an appearance that was widely photographed by paparazzi on the scene.
Image credits: heidiklum
In the topless images, Klum was seen wearing a dainty pearl necklace dangling between her cleavage as she splashed around in the water, clad only in her bikini bottom.
Meanwhile, Tom Kaulitz joined his wife in the clear blue waters, sporting leopard-print swim trunks.
Reportedly, temperatures that day were in the mid-80s Fahrenheit (mid-20s Celsius), making it ideal for the couple’s ocean adventure.
Image credits: radar_online
In several photos, the lovebirds appeared visibly beaming as they enjoyed each other’s company and even shared a kiss while swimming together.
In one notable image, after likely spotting the paparazzi, Heidi playfully wrapped herself in a towel featuring a close-up image of her Tokio Hotel rocker husband’s face.
Image credits: heidiklum
Flashing a wide smile, she looked directly at the camera with both hands raised at her sides, playfully flaunting her affection for her man.
However, the America’s Got Talent judge’s latest antics sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans criticizing her behavior while others argued it was “very acceptable” in certain European cultures.
One person wrote, “Isn’t she German? They sauna completely n*ked. I stayed in an international hotel in Munich and everyone was n*ked in the spa.”
Another echoed a similar sentiment, writing, “She’s German. In Europe and French and some other islands.very acceptable. And she looks great.”
Image credits: BACKGRID UK
A third explained, “Tons of European women over a certain age grew up with topless bathing being the norm… It’s nothing to be shocked by. It’s not even done to show off. It’s the feeling of freedom and having an almost all over tan.”
They continued, “People need to stop being prudish. And with regard to her age, she looks a lot better than many young twenty something women… Age shouldn’t matter, nor what you look like. If a country permits it, then it shouldn’t matter.”
Image credits: BACKGRID UK
Some netizens were even left confused, admitting they failed to recognize Heidi in one topless social media post.
The images sparked comparisons to “Kate Hudson,” while Tom was dubbed “Jared Leto” by many commenters.
One genuinely confused social media user questioned, “Why are these sites just posting pictures without identification?” while another bluntly reacted, “Barrrrfffff!”
Heidi and Tom, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2019, have been vacationing on the island following a Christmas celebration with their blended family.
Prior to her Sunday outing, Klum was also spotted topless on December 26, wearing a pair of brown thong bikini bottoms while soaking up the sun.
Given the timing of their getaway and the couple’s frequent sightings on the island, it has been reported that they plan to ring in New Year’s Eve in St. Barths.
Image credits: heidiklum
St. Barths is a well-known celebrity hotspot for post-Christmas and New Year’s Eve getaways and has become a repeat destination for Heidi and Tom’s winter holidays.
The pair were also spotted vacationing on the Caribbean island in January earlier this year.
As for Heidi, she has long been open about embracing her natural body and is known for frequently sharing topless photos publicly.
Image credits: heidiklum
In a 2023 interview with People magazine titled ‘Talk About My Body All You Want’: Heidi Klum (Still) Has Nothing to Hide, the 52-year-old German beauty shared, “As soon as someone is coming, I put my top on. But if no one is there – sun’s out, buns out.”
Image credits: heidiklum
“I just don’t like tan lines because I wear so many different outfits. I don’t want to have straps anywhere from tan lines. It’s very strategic.”
She added, referring to her breasts, “And usually, I like to have Hans and Franz on a good display.”

You order a gift. You pay for it. You expect it to arrive safely. But you aren’t really in charge of the delivery. And when it’s the holidays, the stakes are high.
A woman from the United Kingdom said her Christmas present of over £2,000 ($2,700) was thrown at her doorstep by a courier. Her ring camera recorded the incident on video, so she thought her refund request would be straightforward.
But the rude customer service was having none of it and refused to help.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay didn’t hold back at his daughter’s wedding to Olympian swimmer Adam Peaty, taking a jab at the latter’s parents amid an ongoing family feud.
On Saturday, December 27, 25-year-old Holly Ramsay tied the knot with 31-year-old Peaty in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey.
However, most of Adam’s family was uninvited from the nuptials amid a bitter family fallout, prompting one of his aunts to send him a scathing text just moments before the ceremony.
“Gordon Ramsey’s like a spoilt man-child. Petulant, arrogant and immature. He’ll dominate that marriage,” wrote one social media user.
Image credits: Ben Birchall/Getty Images
During his father-of-the-bride speech, the 59-year-old Michelin-starred chef began by commenting on how beautiful his daughter looked in her bridal attire and called his new son-in-law “a lucky man.”
Referencing his wife, Tana Ramsay, Gordon told Adam, “Look at Tana, and that’s what you have to look forward to.”
According to a report by The Sun, Gordon added that his wife “will be a good mum to them both.”
Image credits: adamramsaypeaty
The television personality then appeared to make a subtle dig at the absence of Peaty’s family, looking at his daughter and saying, “Shame you don’t have the same.”
The Peaty family feud came to light just days before the couple’s wedding.
According to multiple reports, the falling out between Adam and his parents began during preparations for the couple’s engagement party in December last year.
Image credits: adamramsaypeaty
At the time, his mother, Caroline Peaty, was said to be upset that some extended family members were not invited and was also allegedly uncomfortable with the presence of a camera crew filming the event for Ramsay’s docuseries.
Tensions escalated further last month when Caroline was not invited to Holly’s bachelorette party, despite Holly’s mother, sisters, and family friends, including Victoria Beckham, being in attendance.

Adam’s aunt, Louise Williams, publicly criticized Holly at the time, calling her “divisive and hurtful” for excluding her mother-in-law.
A source close to the family recently told The Sun, “Frankly, it’s disgusting that [the wedding] went ahead without Adam reaching out to his mum and dad beforehand.”
Image credits: gordongram
Adam’s father, Mark, was allegedly invited to the wedding but was asked to sit at the back of the church with the plus-ones, an arrangement the source described as “awful.” Mark ultimately declined to attend.
The outlet also reported that the Olympian’s aunt texted him moments before he said “I do,” but he never read the message because he had blocked family members.
Image credits: Zac Goodwin/Getty Images
The text from his aunt reportedly read, “I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still.”
“Shame on you both. Shame. Remember on this, your happiest day, and on each anniversary of your happiest day, that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams.”
Image credits: adamramsaypeaty
Moreover, the newly married groom allegedly did not mention his family or parents during his reception speech, instead praising his swim coach, Mel Marshall.
He expressed gratitude to Mel for being his “everything” and for “grounding and inspiring” him.
Adam also emotionally referred to his coach as being “like a mum” due to her unwavering support.
Addressing Gordon’s cryptic remarks at the ceremony, an insider close to Adam’s family told the outlet in a recent interview, “This was the Ramsays’ plan all along. They wanted Adam’s family gone, and they have succeeded.”
Image credits: jimpeaty
“You’d think that as parents, Gordon and Tana would have a bit more compassion towards Caroline, Mark and the family.”
They continued, “Caroline did everything and more to help Adam. She and Mark sacrificed a lot to get him where he is. Adam ought to be ashamed of himself for going ahead with the wedding without them after everything they did to support him.
The insider also addressed Adam’s sister Bethany Peaty, who was the only one attending the nuptials, saying her actions had “betrayed her mum.”
The source alleged, “This isn’t the Bethany we all know, she’s changed her appearance and personality to fit in with the Ramsays’ celebrity lifestyle.”
Image credits: Karwai Tang/Getty Images
Additionally, the family source claimed that Adam disinvited his great-aunt Janet and her husband, Eddie, just days before the wedding, despite the couple having already booked accommodation and purchased outfits for the ceremony.

The source described the entire situation as “completely unacceptable.”

Aunts and uncles are often like bonus parents in a child’s life. They’re the fun ones, the safe ones, the people who step in with extra love, guidance, and support when it’s needed most. Sometimes, those bonds grow even stronger than anyone expects.
For one woman, that bond with her nephew deepened in a life-changing way when he began calling her “mom.” She shared how her brother and sister-in-law slowly pushed the boy aside after having children of their own, treating him like an outsider. His grades slipped, his behavior changed, and he began spiraling. Seeing this, she and her husband took him in, gave him stability, care, and unconditional love. Years later, when the biological mother discovered the boy viewed his aunt as his real parent, family tensions exploded. Keep reading to see how it all unfolded.

Kids naturally look up to their parents for almost everything. From learning how to ride a bike to figuring out right from wrong, mom and dad are often a child’s first teachers, role models, and safe place. The parent-child bond plays a huge role in shaping confidence, emotional security, and self-worth. When children feel supported and loved, they’re more likely to thrive both emotionally and mentally. That relationship lays the foundation for how they see themselves and the world.
Things become deeply painful when parents begin neglecting a child’s emotional or physical needs. An abandoned child is not always one who is physically left behind, but often one whose parents stop showing up emotionally. It happens when caregivers no longer provide attention, care, or basic support for growth and development. This kind of neglect can quietly damage a child’s sense of safety. Over time, it can leave lasting emotional scars that are hard to heal.
The American Psychological Association explains child neglect as the consistent lack of attention, care, or affection that a child needs to grow normally. This includes emotional warmth, physical care, and encouragement. Neglect often stems from indifference, lack of awareness, or personal struggles faced by caregivers. Even when unintentional, the effects can be serious and long-lasting. Children may internalize the neglect and believe they are unworthy of love or care.
Studies show that children and teens who experience parental rejection often carry heavy emotional guilt. The more rejected a child feels, the stronger those feelings of guilt can become. Many start blaming themselves for the lack of love or attention they receive. Research suggests that children with anxious attachment styles or feelings of non-acceptance are especially vulnerable. This can lead to long-term issues with trust, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.
That’s why it’s incredibly important for nearby adults—relatives, teachers, or guardians—to step in with compassion. Children who feel abandoned need consistent support, patience, and understanding. Giving them time, space, and opportunities to talk helps them process their feelings safely. Listening without judgment can make a world of difference. Sometimes, just knowing someone cares is enough to begin healing.
When supporting a child in this situation, it’s important not to immediately correct their feelings about their parents. Telling them how they “should” feel can shut them down emotionally. Their experiences and emotions are real to them, even if complicated. Instead, allow them to express what they feel freely. Validation helps build trust and emotional safety.
Making a child feel genuinely welcomed is another powerful step. Simple gestures like including them in daily routines, family meals, or conversations can help them feel they belong. Feeling accepted can slowly replace feelings of rejection. A welcoming environment gives children a sense of stability they may have been missing. It reminds them they are wanted and valued.
Positive praise can go a long way in rebuilding a child’s confidence. Acknowledging their efforts, strengths, and small wins helps them feel seen. Encouragement doesn’t have to be grand, sometimes a kind word or reassurance is enough. Over time, positive reinforcement helps reshape how they see themselves. It teaches them that they are worthy of love, respect, and care.

There have never been as many fake images online as there are currently. Experts warn people that “AI slop” is only going to become a bigger problem in the coming years. Yet, sources suggest that there are already more than 15 billion AI-generated images online.
It’s not surprising, then, that people online are starting to doubt the authenticity of images. It can make picking your next travel destination a bit tricky. This summer, an elderly couple were scammed with an AI-generated video of the non-existent cable car ride in Malaysia, Kuak Skyride.
But some destinations may look or sound too good to be true, yet are 100% real. In one thread online, folks have been sharing the most beautiful places in their homelands that people often mistake for AI slop. When one netizen asked, “What place in your country could be mistaken for having been created by AI, even though it really exists?” locals had many answers.
From the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland to the perfectly shaped city of Neuf-Brisach in France, see which places around the world might be so beautiful that some folks mistake them for a scam.
Neuf-Brisach. I spent my childhood there, playing hide and seek in the fortifications.
Nazaré giant waves are absolutely colossal and you’d think most photos are AI if you don’t see videos or see it yourself.
Pravčická brána (Czech Republic)
It’s really beautiful there, unfortunately huge part of the national park is missing trees, since few years ago, there was a huge forest fire. (And then last year and I think this year again).
Český Ráj (czech paradise) is another beautiful place, full of sandstone formations, place worth to visit.
The Tunnel of Love railway in Kleman. It looks unreal in all the greens but it’s even more magical in autumn when leaves start to turn.
I really didn’t believe this spot by Mont St Michel was real. But I found the spot, and the twisty river formation does exist, but it was dried out and supposedly rarely seen as above with the river beds filled in.
Burlinskoye Salt Lake in Altai region. People make it look way too saturated like this photo, but it does exist, trains included
Gullholmen – swedish west coast. Looks like AI might have gone a bit crazy with the amount of houses on this tiny island right at the edge of nature.
The Flatirons, in Boulder, Colorado. They’re the inspiration for a lot of sci-fi landscapes.
Italy is full of towns like this, but Tropea is the one I know best.
Badwater Basin, Death Valley. You have to walk out about 2 miles to see it like this.
Pro tip: Bring water. 😄.
The Taton dunes are gigantic dunes next to the gigantic Andes mountains.
Diamond mine in the middle of a city, why not?
The whole (and huge) chapel made of human bones in Sedlec near Kutná Hora, Bohemia.
The bones in the Sedlec Ossuary come largely from the 13th–15th centuries, when the local cemetery became very… popular burial ground within Central Europe because the abbot of the Sedlec monastery scattered holy soil brought from Jerusalem across the graveyard. The Black Death and later the Hussite Wars overwhelmed the site with tens of thousands of bodies.
And if you played *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, well… you know it’s basically all your fault.
Kummakivi, literally named “Strange rock” is a huge rock balancing on top of another. It’s from ice age when ice was moving a lot of rocks around.
Cannot be moved by hand even though looks like it might fall over any minute.

“Kids don’t lie,” many people claim. Perhaps, but in some cases, grown-ups may wish that they did. Kids can be brutally honest with their reactions and their words, but they can also express their unfiltered perspective artistically. 92% of kids aged 6 to 12 say that being creative boosts their self-esteem.
By that measure, the children whose drawings we’re featuring here should have the confidence of Michael Jordan. Bored Panda has found the wildest and funniest works of art by kids that made their parents and teachers say, “Woah,” and presents the best of the best to you below. Who needs Rembrandt when you can commission a true masterpiece by a five-year-old?

Drawing is one of the first ways kids start to express themselves. Some children might even start drawing before they start talking. Experts estimate that kids start doodling at around 12 to 18 months. Since they don’t have fully developed motor skills yet, kids usually move their whole arms to draw, requiring large sheets of paper and sizable crayons, markers, and pens.
Early kids’ drawings don’t make much sense. When they’re two or three years old, they might draw circles, lines, zigzags, and so on. Colors become interesting, too; toddlers feel especially proud of deciding which color to use. Given that, kids of this age can try to draw something familiar or things that remind them of something. However, most times, as you’ll see from this list, they’re rarely successful.

As they get older, kids start drawing figures, especially humans. A circle with two sticks usually represents a person, and kids aged three to four start depicting that in their drawings. At this age, children also start trying to name what they’re drawing, often including letters in their pieces, even if they can’t read and write yet.
By the age of four to five, kids begin to tell stories with their drawings. When sketching their family, kids will make the most important person to them the biggest; for example, Mom. A new style might emerge for some kids, which experts call “X-ray style.” An example of that would be a house that we can see inside of from the outside.

Drawing helps kids refine their motor and develop their cognitive skills. But that’s an unlikely reason why they like it so much. Kids would much rather draw something than, say, learn or do another kind of strenuous mental or physical activity. That might be because it makes them feel happy (duh!) and helps them regulate their emotions.
A 2021 study showed that drawing distracts children from being in a sad mood. It didn’t matter what they were drawing, whether imaginary or real scenes; all that mattered was the process of drawing itself.

When kids draw a person with some extra legs, that doesn’t mean they don’t know what a human looks like. Researchers have found that kids sometimes add silly things to their drawings simply because they think it’s funny. Even if sometimes their drawings aren’t accurate, the drawings reflect what they know about the world.
For example, researchers in 2024 found that even when a kid draws a tiger that doesn’t really look like a tiger, it still seems like a sort of animal. That indicates that the toddler or child understands what a tiger is and simply doesn’t have the artistic ability to depict it accurately.

At the same time, kids don’t draw what they don’t know or haven’t seen and encountered yet. Children’s developmental specialist Dr. Melodie de Jager explains that if a child is not aware of a windmill, they will not draw a windmill. Interestingly, that extends to the child when they draw a self-portrait.

“If they are not aware that they are standing on solid ground, they do not draw a grounding line underneath their self-portrait,” de Jager writes. “If they are not aware of their ears, they do not draw them nor use them to listen the first time. If they do not spontaneously draw a neck, it is a sure way of telling that the child is not ready to read or write yet.”

Not just drawing, but art therapy in general helps kids develop their emotional intelligence. Sometimes, big feelings can be hard for kids to verbalize. Through drawings, kids can express what they’re feeling, thus helping them learn how to deal with emotional outbursts and unwanted emotions.

Mental health experts often use the “emotion wheel” tool with children when they can’t clearly identify what they are feeling. They are given visual representations of emotions with different shapes and colors. By choosing certain colors to draw with, they connect with their emotions, making it easier for themselves and their parents to understand what is bothering them.

When the emotion is identified, kids do a certain art technique. If they’re stressed, molding something from clay may help release that tension. If they’re anxious, coloring mandalas is often recommended. To get rid of anger or frustration, kids are encouraged to draw or paint with large brush strokes vigorously. Less traditional methods like throwing paint-filled balloons onto a huge canvas may also interest other kids with pent-up anger.

Living in an apartment building means you are never completely alone — thin walls, shared corridors, and facing windows can turn a normal day into an unexpected encounter with your neighbor.
But not everyone is a full-time busybody like Aunt Petunia from the Harry Potter series, craning their necks to spy from their windows. Sometimes you just can’t help but overhear — or get a little curious about — whatever mischief your next-door neighbor is up to.
It also makes living in a city more interesting, where communication and connections are few and far between.
A reddit user recently asked people who live in apartment buildings “What’s the most unexpected thing you’ve accidentally seen through a neighbor’s window?”
Some of the responses are odd while others are downright hilarious. But they all remind us why living in an apartment is never boring.
I have seen (and still see) all types of things out my windows.
The sweetest was a couple who would waltz in their very very tiny apartment. They seemed so happy
The weirdest was next door neighbors would take their dog out to their yard so he’d empty his bowels. The thing is they would both follow him around and stand there staring at him silently while holding hands. It was super creepy for some reason.
Goats. A handful of goats.
I was just taking my trash out, and there was a sound I didn’t recognize. I turn to look, and there were goats in my neighbor’s apartment. She was rather baffled when I asked about her hircine guest a few days later. Turns out, Her BF had rented a bunch of goats to play a prank of his best friend. He felt bad leaving the goats in the truck, so he brought them in the apartment for a few hours, until he packed them back up and drove them away to do the prank, without telling my neighbor.
Apartment living inevitably creates proximity and these strange encounters are bound to happen once in a while whether you like it or not, thanks to the way the buildings are designed.
We spoke to Quill R. Kukla, a philosophy professor at Georgetown University in the US, who says that “seeing and hearing (and sometimes smelling) things about one another is part of the fabric of urban life.”
“Our current trend of building glossy loft apartment buildings with huge windows, and building them with cheap material that is not soundproof, heightens our access to one another’s business.”
Kukla is also the author of ‘City Living: How Urban Dwellers and Urban Spaces Make One Another’ (2021), a book that explores how living in close quarters shapes daily life and social interactions.
Not seen, but one day me and my wife where walking from our car to our apartment, maybe 11:00PM and we hear a women just exclaim very loudly “I AIN’T NEVER GONE TO BED!” from inside her second story apartment.
To this day one of us will randomly blurt out “I AIN’T NEVER GONE TO BED!” and both break out laughing.
A neighbor watched the John Travolta version of Hairspray every night for over a month. Idk what that girl was going through, but I hope she’s doing ok now.
People-watching is not just limited to apartment buildings or neighbors. Europeans have been doing it since the 17th century, when cafes became a place to not only have coffee but also watch life unfold. From city streets to public parks, many people enjoy observing human behaviour and social interactions in real time.
It is our inherent need for connectedness and curiosity that draws us in.
“I live in Germany, where yelling at your fellow building residents for misusing shared spaces like halls, courtyards, bicycle racks, and foyers is famously a national pastime. But even the yelling helps us all feel that we are people who share space rather than living in our own private bubbles,” Kukla shared with Bored Panda.
Not my apartment building but walking downtown Boston, waiting at crosswalk and happened to look up about 4 floors. Completely naked woman standing in a window so still I thought it was a mannequin at first. Then she waved at me. And started combing her hair. I kinda laughed and the lady standing next to me looked at me and then looked up. She started laughing and I started laughing and the light changed and we went on our separate ways.
Lived in a building of just studio apartments. The one across from me always had the blinds closed, two guys lived there, never spoke to them rarely even saw them. One day blinds were wide open. Nothing inside but stacks of towels folded on the floor in neat rows.
However, living in shared spaces also makes us think where the boundary really is.
Kukla believes urban dwellers are smart enough and “know how to deal with proximity.”
“We have distinctive skills for managing one another’s comfort zones, knowing how to adjust to one another’s pace, knowing when to engage and when to stay out of one another’s business, and just generally how to cope with the chaotic intermixing of bodies,” they add.
Research shows that people living near shared spaces often report lower privacy levels and it’s no wonder that many add blinds or reflective glass to reclaim their personal space.
At the same time, being aware of our surroundings, as long as it is harmless and respectful, is simply a part of life in urban spaces.
“Surveys show that urban dwellers are more comfortable with diversity than others… It makes us more tolerant and understanding of the differences between us, and less threatened by these differences,” Kukla says.
Lots of arguments going on over there. One day she left for work he left for work about 30 minutes later she came back with a U-Haul and 5 college age looking guys and emptied the entire place out. He came home to an empty condo. I don’t think it took them more than an hour to empty the entire place.
A fox. A real fox (the chicken stealing kind) used to sit up in the window of an apartment I’d walk past on my way to grade school in San Francisco. Not a city known for foxes.
Felt kind of sorry for it because it didn’t look like a very large apartment.
Was staying in Boston my husband and son went to a baseball game. I was looking out the hotel window and there were some guys working on a car. I settled in with my book. It was nice to hear them ribbing each other. One new guy appeared he went inside the apartment and came out after kissing a woman, I saw through their window. He joined the guys at the car. A different guy went in the apartment then he and the woman went into the bedroom and disappeared from my view. I saw him next putting his shirt on and heading back down to hang with the group at the car. I realized I had just witnessed an affair with the other guys wife. How brazen and bold.
Someone repeatedly dangling a giant fake non-realistic spider on a long rope out of their apartment window and over the sidewalk below. I would have guessed it was a prank but they were doing it while no one was walking by
I also worked in a high rise office across from a high rise hotel where I was one day lucky enough to be sat in a conference room in clear view of an attractive very naked man leisurely wandering around his hotel room. I did not pay very much attention to the meeting I was in haha.
I used to live in Washington, DC. A Supreme Court justice lived in the building next to mine and left her blinds open frequently. She watched a lot of sports.
I was living on the third floor and one night I looked out my window and a guy on the first floor in the next building had all his windows open and the lights on.
He was taking a dump, completely naked, while his dog was just staring at him.
I was probably the one being watched. Hung out with a girl that worked there and would always show up after dark. Insisted on leaving the patio blinds opened while we had our time together.
Turned out her ex lived directly across the pool from me.
A guy in a Santa Speedo. Nothing else. I could see his bathroom from my apartment window and he was standing in front of the mirror posing.
A pig. Used to live in a 3 floor building with a courtyard pool. The units had floor to ceiling windows. One summer day while floating around a pot belly pig pushed through the blinds and watched us swim for about a half hour.
