mack_back >> You said "Only because people keep quiet not shouting smart negative comments, don't mean they accept thong wearing male." You obviously did not read the bit where I said they regularly stop to chat. 
I always try to be friendly to my neighbors, if I am dressed or just in a thong. I think I have a generally friendly demeanor. This is something you can work on cultivating. Happyness is a choice, that comes from inside.
Just now I was just outside getting the mail. One of the young girls from down the street bicycled passed and said hello. If people were uptight about me wearing a thong they would probably have told me by now, and probably would not be as friendly. If they were worried they would have told their kids not to talk to me.
Unlike you I don't go looking for signs of disapproval. Even if one or two did disapprove I would probably just shrug, because I am not looking for affirmation. 
I am sure they chuckle once in a while. If they are sometimes amused by me that's OK. People should smile a few times a day. 
A neighbor who lives three houses away often invites me to dinner with his wife, kid and mother in law.  I don't wear a thong to go visit at their house, but do wear very short shorts or a cheeky swimsuit. I sometimes babysit their kid.  
I was wearing very short shorts on last night's bike ride and later in the bar we went to down town. Got quite a few complements, danced with some cute young women and kissed by one. Not bad for my age on a Wednesday night. There are lots of guys on the ride. Once in a while one will crack a joke about my short shorts, but normally in a good humored way. I am sure a few guys on the ride dislike my shorts. Probably the same ones that were a bit jealous that the cute women were joking and dancing with me and not them. 
The path to acceptance is being friendly and nice, without being smarmy. To accept yourself first, before asking others to accept you. Then be mentally bullet proof, so even if someone cracks a joke or says something pointed you take it in stride, smile, and continue the conversation.

I was washing windows in the front of the house and expected I would be alone given the early time of day. I was wearing a very narrow-backed rio and it was hot and sweaty. Fortunately the job required a hose and I was keeping wet to stay cool. All of a sudden there is a lady walking her dog, and slowing down to see what I'm doing. The bucket and squeegee was a give-away and I gave her a pleasant hello. She stopped and complimented my efforts. So I thought, "what the hell" and stepped out and introduced myself. She looked me up and down and said I was dressed for the job with a nice smile. I agreed and she moved on. Whew!
I saw her again a couple of days later and was wearing shorts this time and she went home with some iris tubers I was digging up. A nice neighbor gets a reward for being cool.

I live in a huge apartment complex.  I wear my thong to check the mail, take out the trash, or do laundry.  I wear my thong at the pool and jacuzzi as well.  I have not had any problems.  I am cordial and say hello to some.  Some people I get into a conversation with.  Most just pass by as usual which happens whether I am wearing regular clothes or a thong.  I cannot know what they are thinking when they say nothing at all but it is not enough for someone to call me out or even make a face.  So far so good.

A little back story first.  I've been wearing thongs & G strings since around 2001.  Started in Redondo where I used to live.  We moved into to our house here in the 'burbs in '08.  Our neighbors to the east are a retired couple which the husband is partially disabled from a stroke.  We get along well enough with them, watching each others houses when one of us is out of town etc.  Cut to yesterday.  I was out washing the vehicles in a Jovana 4D and I hear Steve say "Hows it going sweet cheeks?"  I just smiled and said I was good and asked how it was going with him.  In the 10 years we've been living here they have never made a comment re: my thongs. I guess he's been saving that up for awhile!

This morning I was in my front yard on the street side with a bucket to wash my windows. I was in a ikingsky red thong. The new neighbor across the street saw me and waved. I started talking to him. He came over to introduce himself. We talked a few minutes. I told him I hope that his he and his wife wouldn't be upset with me wearing a thong. He said, "It's hot here, we don't care." 

They moved here from San Diego. They are thrilled with how much they could buy here. Their 4 bedroom, totally remodeled home is less than what they were paying for a small one bedroom apartment. Nice thing they also have a great in-ground pool. I hope they will invite me over for swimming soon. Really happy to have them as neighbors. 

Another neighbor who moved in this month, on the opposite side of the street, has been moving furniture in and out of his house today, so I'm sure the guys have seen me also. 

I have one other house directly across the street which is also going to be put up for sale. The construction workers all wave when they see me going out to road to get my mail, in just a thong. I am delighted with my neighbors. Never thought I would have this freedom outside Atlanta.

On way to make sure you attract the right type of neighbours is to be visibly thonging outside when there is an open house. Starting to do that more regularly since both the house across the street and the one to the south are now for sale. If I am out front near the road many of the house shoppers driving by stop for a chat about the neighborhood and schools. 
We also do that when we want to protect our space in an anchorage or a camping location. When new people advance we make sure they see us in a thong so if they don't like neighbors in thongs they piss-off somewhere else.  Same principle as on the beach. We were here first, so may well stand up when we see people heading our way, just so they see a person in a thong, before dragging a cooler, chairs and kids all the way over to our spot. 
Some time ago they were selling off the old "Beyond this point you may encounter nude people" signs from Haulover to raise money.  A friend of mine has one nailed to his gate. Puts people on notice. :)     
Found a similar one Ebay for only $16 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Clothing-Optional-Hawaii-12-Inch-x-18-Inch-Decorative-Aluminum-Street-Sign/113759384229
Think I might have to get one to hang on my back gate that faces the house that has just gone up for sale across the street.

People do care if they have chill neighbors, and live in a chill neighbourhood. Seeing a thonger out signals younger people (most of the people buying houses) that this is a live-and-let live community.  Prissy people can go live by the church or in snooty gated communitie in Alabama. Good riddance.

When both of the houses went on the market, I made sure to be outside in a thong if I saw people looking. I agree about the beach part also. I try to get there early so when others approach they can see I am wearing a thong, then they can choose to settle close by or not.

The younger neighbors the better. It seems young women don't mind guys in thongs at all but their husbands do? Of course the opposite is true. If a hot neighbor is walking around in a thong you think a woman's husband is going to cause problems?

Cutting Neighbors Yard while wearing a Thong.

If you have read any of my posts you will remember I very rarely wear more than a thong or g-string on my front porch or in my yard. Today my next door neighbor with the 4 kids under 8 yrs old saw me and came over to talk to me. I was wearing a small black Jaxfstk string thong- which is more of a g-string than a thong. 

He gave me some extra pansies to plant. He apologized about his grass, saying his mower is broken. I offered to cut his yard. So I cut his yard in the thong on my riding lawn mower. 

His older son is around 8 yrs old. His mother sent him over to tell me that while I was away in Savannah this last weekend the another neighbor called animal control to pick up the wild bunnies in my yard. Between my yard and the other neighbors they picked up 22 bunnies.

Tobias, being a good neighbor has its' benefits.  Neighbor gets his lawn mowed, you get to wear your thong.  Its' all good, except what does animal control do with the bunnies?

Update on neighbors:
My young neighbor from across the street has seen me in thongs and g-strings for a long time. Jimmy (not his real name) has been over and inside my home while I was wearing just a g-string. I was on my front porch in just a g-string, like I usually do when it is warm enough to do so. 
He waved when he saw me and came over to talk with me. He had just bought a replica Japanese sword like from show on TV and was excited for me to see it. I smiled and asked if he wanted to see a real Japanese WWII sword. 
I went inside and brought out one my dad's friend gave him after serving in the Pacific during the war.  I showed him the different woven areas that was an indication of how many people he killed with it. (at least that is what my dad's friend told him). He stayed and talked about his hot date he was going on and other things. All in all he stayed 40 minutes. 
Most of my neighbors I think forget I am wearing just a g-string when talking to me. Once they get over the initial shock they realize I am just their friendly neighbor who is comfortable in his own skin. 
When I told this story to my new friend I met at the lake this week, he says he also is in his yard in thongs and g-strings and most of his neighbors react the same way. He said the teenagers and young adults are the most accepting. I find this to also be true. Most say its your home you should be comfortable there, wear whatever makes you feel good.

I was at a friends house a couple of streets over, for a party of the current and ex-employees of a firm he owns. A place I worked many years ago. Quite a large event with paid caters and bartenders. They have a zip-line that ends over a swimming pool. (It is good to be the boss). 

Later in the evening some of us changed down to swimsuits. I did the zip-line and cannonball drop into the pool in a bright orange and yellow thong. I am sure someones got the video.

Yesterday I worked in my 3 vegetable gardens in my backyard in a small g-string so I could work on my tan. My next door neighbor, the one who has 4 young kids decided to barbecue some beef in his backyard. As his house looks down into my yard over my fence, and they were going in and out of the house, they had ample time to see me in my g-string. When I had finished planting my gardens, it was hot so I went out on my front porch in a IKinsky thong. A few minutes later, my neighbor walks over to my porch with a huge plate of bbq. It was delicious. He should open a restaurant. We talked for a few minutes, he wanted to check up on me. Once again, he didn't mind that I had on a small thong. While I was eating on the porch, a young college kid came by walking his beautiful dog. We chat often but I never knew his name. We exchanged names as he apologized for his dog peeing on my mailbox. 

I also caught the neighbor across the street sneaking pictures of me as I stood to get my phone. I thought she was going to cause trouble, but maybe she just wants a picture of me. The police never came. I know I am legal because they responded to another neighbor's naked man call and told me as long as I was covered up front and not doing anything lewd, masturbating, or being completely nude, I was legal.

Later two other neighbors walking by waved and said hello.
I've said it before, I never dreamed in a million years, I could wear thongs and g-strings in my front yard and on my porch just outside Atlanta. Being friendly and confident I think helps.

I think the current COVID-19 situation is playing a lot into a more relaxed attitude people seem to have.  Friday in the grocery I saw a couple with thongs pulled over their heads as make-shift masks.  People are doing non-normal things and posting it on Facebook for the world to see.

People are just not sweating the small stuff.  And in the end, it's all just small stuff.

Over the years my swimwear choices have become smaller and smaller coverage. I used to never wear thongs but now do almost all the time. Ann and Marci have brought me some that are very small and form fitting. Some are relatively transparent especially when wet. Much like when I started wearing small bikinis on a dare many years ago, I have become accustomed to them and don’t think twice about being in public in them. I have posted a few new photos of them that were taken by others and shared with me. (see working thongs)
Since the Covid 19 flare-up there are a lot more people walking the streets than before. Living on a major street drive by traffic is heavy with lots of honks etc. But now there have been dozens that walked past as I was out doing yard work wearing very little
Some don’t look or look the other way. Quite a few say hi and stop to introduce themselves. While keeping a 6 foot distance we have short conversations and they continue. Some don’t even mention what I am wearing, but most do
Comments range from “we see you out here all the time, do the police ever bother you for being dressed like that, where do you get such small swimsuits, you sure have a nice tan, aren’t you afraid is skin cancer, and I always drive by but never realized how small your thongs really are and how they fit so well. I also hear how they admire my courage or how they admire my I don’t give a darn attitude that allows me to wear what I want. They often wish they had that much courage.
So the stay at home order has generated dozens of people now walking by. I know several people now from my neighborhood that I never knew before. One lady, Chris, walks by daily with her dog and always says hi how are things going followed by a gee your looking nice today, or I like that ______ (says a color) but I really like the white the best. She came by once when I was washing the car in white and it got wet and became very transparent.
With temps in the high 80’s it is wonderful to be here in Phoenix meeting new neighbors and Enjoying the Arizona Sun.

Tobias5711: Cool story and glad the neighbors are so friendly. I also live just outside Atlanta (Alpharetta area), but the wife and I live in a townhome. So, there’s little to no privacy in front of, or behind our house. I really wish I had a spot to layout and sun or even swim. My dream would be to have a large back yard, deck for grilling and sunbathing, as well as a private backyard pool. Whole backyard would also be surrounded by a privacy fence to keep nosy neighbors out lol.

Haven’t been on this board for a while and had to share a recent experience at my townhouse complex.  I am usually alone when sunning there midweek so I am more than comfortable tanning in a thong or g-string.  Still, my confidence was boosted today by this experience.  

I was already 1 hour into my tanning session. I had been on both sides evenly and had taken break in the water to cool off as it was in the high 90s. While in the pool, a female neighbor came to sun as well.  I had not met her before so we exchanged pleasantries. Whenever I meet someone knew and I’m wearing a thong or g-string, I always ask, “does my suit make you uncomfortable? If so, I can cover up”. I have never had anyone say anything negative other than, “as long as there are no kids around, I think it’s fine.” This young lady, when asked said, “oh my. I’m working on my all-over tan, too!” She turned to show me a thong back with clear full bottom tan lines.  She then said, “I was a little uncomfortable wearing this suit for the first time today.” 

As I got out of the pool and walked away from her towards my chair, I caught her taking a photo on her cell phone but I paid this no mind. I take it as a compliment at this point in my thonging.  

While laying out, I disconnected the sides of my g-string as it has a magnetic connection on both sides.  It’s not really a swimsuit, it wouldn’t handle actual swimming without coming disconnected on the sides...it’s more for tanning.  While I had the edges of my suit turned in to deter tanlines, the young lady swam over my way and said, “I really feel so much more confident now seeing you’re showing more skin than me!”  Later, while I was laying on my stomach, I had the side ties tucked back where I looked nude from the side. I caught the young lady sneaking pics of me again on her phone.  

Since she was being so sly with her phone, I asked her if she would take a pic of me from the back on my own phone.  She took about 10 pics, suggesting I turn slightly, raise my head, get the shadow off my face, she was a great photographer!  

Once she had taken them, I asked her to look them over for me and pick the best one.  Then I asked if that one was better than the ones she had taken on her own phone.  She then started to blush and admitted they were crap.  At that point we both laughed and I offered her to text herself the best one she just took.  

After some more sunshine, I packed up to leave and stopped by her chair. We exchanged greetings again and I let her know her all-over tan was coming along fine.  She again thanked me for the boost i confidence that she needed that day.  I thanked her for the same and look forward to seeing a lot more of my new thong buddy at the community pool this season.

(Pic she took of me standing in my black g-string has been posted to my profile)

Lovely story AZthongeroo! By being brave and thong in public places, we can really encourage others, just like we are encourage by other thongers. And thus start a feedback loop of thong positivity :) I feel exactly like that woman; it's so much easier to thong publicly when someone else is thonging nearby.

AZthongeroo:
Sounds like you may have a minimal swimwear tanning buddy. Since it's early in the tanning season, maybe the two of you will establish a new average norm for your pool.
 
By average norm, I mean this: At pools (or beaches for that matter, but more so with pools due to the confined environment) you will have people who wear suits that range from very covered up conservative suits to very skimpy suits. I've observed that when more people (especially women) wear skimpier suits, it pulls the average acceptability of how much skin is shown toward more skin. When more people wear conservative suits that cover up more skin, it pulls the average acceptability of showing skin toward more covered up. As we've discussed on this board many times, it's kind of a herd mentality.  Of course there's a few exceptions where the pool environment is very live-and-let-live, but those are the outliers.
 
As I said at the beginning, hopefully, since you two are wearing skimpy suits at the start of the season, when other people arrive at the pool they will see the two of you and think that this is "the way it is" at this pool.  Good luck.
 
I have to admit I'm a bit jealous that you are already at the pool already this season. In my region we've had only a couple teaser days when it was warm enough to lay out. And with this COVID-19 stuff going on, I'm sure they're going to delay the opening of our community pool.

hopefully you two have kept in touch since you sent a picture and tan together!  Always better in numbers tanning in minimal swimwear.  Keep us updated and yes if she ever gets brave enough to take a pic of the two of you together please share her picture.

I have neighbors. the guy looks like he's 45ish the woman maybe late 30's or early 40's. We live in townhomes where they are in the center and they leave their blinds open all the time. they can see directly into our living room and vice versa. I wear thongs 100% of the time. I used to close the blinds but a few times I left them open and have looked up to see the neighbors looking, but acting like they weren't looking and they never closed their blinds. Now I leave them open and walk around and even exercise doing burpees and thrusters facing away from them, must be a show. anyhow they just sit there - their couch is right next to the widow and they sit there and I know they look because I see them, but we act like we both don't see each other and coexist. It is a little strange but I look good in thongs so I think they tolerate it. I also don't stare over. They always stay clothed etc....The wife has a mom and a younger sister who live there too. They all look, sometimes at night I see them wave their arm over at me like they're talking about me but I don't know for sure. I wave to them when I see them outside and sometimes they wave back.

If they did not like the view they would close the blinds, or angle the blinds so the light comes in but block the view. Selecting and excluding the view is easier with vertical blinds. They leave them open, so obviously they are un-phased. Saying HI and giving them a smile when you and they are outside seems like a good friendly idea.

I lay out in a thong to tan I never really think much of it my neighbors balcony overlooks my yard I'm sure they have seen but have never really thought much about that till now I started thinking in my teens and have always thought they were just underwear or bathing suit I wear the same to beach it's not a taboo thing for me I guess

Yesterday Grandma was walking one 4 year old boy, and his 4 year old friend from down the street was being walked by her mother. They were on the street one house away. I could hear the two adults were talking as the children were playing. I was taking a quick outside shower to wash of the sweat and dirt from fixing something in the yard. 
When the boy heard me turn on the hose (high pressure firehose like spray that makes quite a noise) he shouted "lets go to Thongmans house" and the children came running up my drive to look through my gate and ask what I was doing. That resulted in the boy and the girl wanting to jump in and out of the "sprinkler" as they called it while I waved the hose around.  After they played for a while I chatted with the adults, but the kids implored me to do more water, so more water, and more running and jumping up and down. 

There was a time when we had no young kids on the street. Now we have quite a few families with kids and teens. Most stop and say HI if they are walking by, or at least give a friendly wave if going by in the car. 

This year, due to being cooped up at home, I have spent a lot more time around the yard, especially the front yard and the street. Last year I had some serious problems with weeds in the grass and other issues, but after getting cited by the city because one of my neibours complained about the length of my grass, and a pile of dirt that was delivered by truck to my driveway, I have been spending far more time taking care of the front yard. 

Not only did I prep and paint my driveways, but planted new palm trees and other plants. Unlike many manufactured looking yards mine is a rather natural looking zero scapped tropical oasis of green and shade. I am really enjoying my front yard, and the Fangipani that are now in full flower. 

I spend far to much time on the computer, so take breaks to walk outside.  While out front I carefully inspect the grass for weeds, check for dead palm leaves, fix the other plants, and frequently walk out into the middle of the street to look up and down.  I look to see who is parked in front of which houses, which builders are on which of the construction lots, etc. There are 3 new houses going up, and there are another three that were recently finished. Lots of knockdowns and new builds. I just got a load of heavy wood beams from a dock they were taking out. Intend to use these to fix the bad beams under my back deck. 

So every couple of hours I take a break to walk outside. I look up and down the street, maybe fix things in the yard, put the garbage cans out, or sometimes just to stand in the drive and look at the trees, the wind, the passing people or parrots in the trees. Everyone on the street, and all the workers on the street see me out in a thong.  
During the day the street almost always has some traffic. Not just the home owners but because many houses on my street are expensive. The sort of people who have other people do stuff for them. They have a lot of regular workers, pool men, yard men, house cleanders, etc. Then lots of regular truck men, mailman, UPS and the various garbage trucks, plus, because many are "fancy people" and their fav restaurants are closed, every door-dash and personal shopper service imaginable is rushing up and down delivering food.  

Compare to the rest of the city our neighborhood of long islands are quiet streets, lined with towering royal palm trees. This is attractive to people who want to run or ride bicycles. (Scooter rentals are shut down for now). The pandemic has upped the number of people not working, who have new time to exercise or chill out with friends on bicycles. A continual parade of runners and cyclists. The regular "exercisers" bike or run alone. It is the social casual bikers who come in groups. Most exchange greetings as they pass. 

So while I may not be out thonging on the beach, I am certainly thonging around the neighborhood, with even more visibility than usual.

As you know if you read my post all my neighbors have seen me in thongs or g-strings. Most of them I have said hello to or they speak to me first. The other day I was on my porch and a couple who moved in two doors down passed by while on a walk. The wife waved and said hello first, I responded and told them hello. The husband smirked hello in return. (I think the husband didn't like that his wife was smiling when she said hello, or maybe it is the fact that he is probably 75 pounds overweight). I introduced myself to the wife the week they moved in 2 years ago. They can see me in both my front and back yard in a thong. I believe over time my neighbors have become accustomed to seeing me almost naked and now accept it as normal for me and realize that I a very friendly neighbor.

Once the initial shock of seeing someone in minimal attire and the person is seen often that way, the shock wears off and most people seem to accept it is your choice of clothing to wear. Time sometimes builds acceptance.

With all the positive stories I hate to be a Debbie-downer, but here goes.

I've lived here over 10 years now and have gotten along well with the neighbors.  The fences along the side are 6 foot with some minor gaps between the boards... you can kinda see something but nothing in detail. The fence across the back is another story... 4 foot tall with  widely spaced pickets. 

I've always gotten along well with the neighbor behind and we've shared several meals together cooking out in the summer.  I've fixed some of their computer problems, and installed an HD TV antenna for them because he could not handle the heights and pitch of their roof. I'm saying all this to show there's friendship there and they know me to be a standup guy.

Last summer I was tanning in a thong on the deck which is sheltered from view by some shrubbery. Both him and his wife came to the back fence and called me over.  I knew they saw me on the deck and also knew I couldn't ignore them, so I figured what the hell and walked to the back fence in my thong.  They were both taken back by it and once the initial shock passed, he asked how long I had been wearing "that" on the deck. I replied since I moved in, and she said that she's glad she didn't witness it back then or we might not have become good friends. Eventually they gave the reason for the visit saying they wanted to invite us for a swim and BBQ.  She immediately added that I should change, and the bikini-style Speedo that I usually wore was okay. They both said that it would be better if I never wore my thong off the deck and into the yard because they didn't want their 13 yr old daughter "seeing no man's ass". Then he kindly suggested if that happened, it would result in a call to the police. 

I know the law is on my side in this case but don't want to ruffle feathers with long-term friends/neighbors. I still thong on the deck but wrap myself in a sarong if I need to leave my pocket of privacy.

You need to install a 6ft fence along the back. If they wonder why just tell them you want to enjoy your yard and sun!

I think you should suggest that if they don't like your thong then you would not object to them putting up a fence 6' fence, and offer to pay half the cost of materials. 

As a teaser you might want to mention you have a female friend who sometimes comes over and joins you, and she wears a thong and goes topless. "I am surprised you have not noticed her."

We thought about a privacy fence across the back, but don't want to box ourselves in. It's no big deal really... We can still sun on the deck without being seen.

I know my neighbors and as much as I like sunning in a thong, I know they don’t want to see me walking over to them for a chat while dressed in only my thong. My neighbors are pretty chill and don’t mind me catching some rays. They  also appreciate that I will cover up before coming over to speak with them. 
JayByrd, I feel for you. Unfortunately if your neighbors decided to call police it would be a hassle. I believe the threat was unnecessary. Keep enjoying your deck.

My neighbors are well aware of my thong preference. They are cool with it. I've even had a conversation over the fence with Gabe and his wife Sue a couple times while laying out by my pool. They invited me over for Christmas dinner last year with their family which was very nice. Their daughter who is in her mid forties playfully mentioned my thongs during dinner which we all had a funny moment with that discussion.

During the last few weeks my wife has finally plucked up the courage to wear one-piece thong swimsuits to lay out in the sun in our back garden. I've been wearing thong swimwear in our garden for years. It's really cool that we are now doing it together.

Anyway, this last weekend we were both laying out on sunbeds - I was on my front with but exposed and my wife was on her back reading. I realised that our young neighbours (who live in a small house in the back garden of our real neighbours) were out on their patio and could definitely see my thong. They may not have realised my wife was wearing one too. I was a little abashed but decided to just carry on as normal. Nothing was said.

This afternoon I went into one of our rooms that has a window looking over the big house next door's patio and was delighted to see the woman who lives in that house tanning on her front on her patio in a thong (or at least a small bikini that she had 'rolled up' into a thong).

It feels awesome to know that there are others very close who wear thongs in their gardens too! I hope to see more of it in future!

A few weeks ago, it was hot enough to wear a thong outside, here in Belgium.
So I decided to lay down in a thong in my garden.

My neighbour who is also my landlord has a shed in my garden where he puts some materials that he doesn’t use that often. 
Normally he rings the bell at my frontdoor and ask of he can take some of the materials. 

For some reason, I don’t know why, this time he didn’t and came directly into my garden. I was just installing my sunbed and towel, ready to lay down on it. He did excuse himself (his head went on red ) and walked towards the shed.  Where I replied that it wasn’t a problem, told him that I was ready to enjoy the sun. He smiled and said yes I can see that... He continued his way and I did the same :-D

I’m sure that my neighbours now know that I’m wearing thongs and next time he rings the bell, I think :-D

Had a great day thonging with the neighbors in my townhouse complex yesterday. My usual thing buddy was there from earlier in the year and she has definitely got the tan lines figured out, with some coaching from me of course.  1 20-something couple with the girl in a thong and the guy in Aussie Bum short shorts.  They both looked like swimwear models in their suits.  Also had a great exchange with a newcomer.  One who I had seen around the complex but not at the pool.  Throughout the day she improvised her bikini bottoms more and more towards a thong and I complimented her on her tanning progress.  When the day was through, I said to her, “it was good to see you.”  

Her cheeky reply was, “and it was good to see so much of you.”

I applaud your courage to go out in the complex AZthongeroo.  I sometimes gather up the courage to go out front and not have a care.  We have new neighbors and the other day I was cleaning out the garage in a cheeky almost thong swimsuit.  He came over to ask if he could borrow my ladder.  I went and got it for him in my swimsuit and he didn't care.  He mentioned something to the effect of I don't blame you when you have a nice backyard like yours.  I'm usually in my backyard in a thong so I guess they must have looked out the window and saw me before.  Now that it is warmer I'm getting more and more comfortable going out front to water the plants or take the garbage cans out especially with my neighbors getting used to seeing me.  Someday I will muster up the courage to wash the car in a thong.  But being on here and reading stories such as yours is giving me the courage to just do it!

IN UK with variable weather it seldom seems appropriate to get outside with anything less than an overcoat! or so it seems.  We are not used to that much warm weather.  I have been stared at by neighbours while walking the dog wearing just shorts and sneakers and no top.

Around the yard I will work naked or in a swim string (as long as my OH isn't around..) she considers a small bikini the very minimum and would be horrified if friends caught me even that way, so I just carry on with it pulled down at the back.  She is embarrassed that I will get caught and calls me an exhibitionist.  Frankly I figure it better to get caught, and for the whole neighbourhood to know so that it becomes yesterdays news.

Just waiting from for some more sunshine to be able to check my theory... it may not go well

Some may get a kick out of this story.  I was out front the other night having a cocktail and a cigarette wearing a blue Skinzwear Stuffit G-string.  About 30 minutes later I get a text from a woman I know of a foto of me walking back to my garage with the questions,"Is this you?" & "What are you doing?"  So I replied, "Yes. Having a smoke & a drink."  After some back and forth she told me that a friend of hers lives on my street and posted it on facebook with the caption, "Just pulled up to the house and this was my view...neighbor's out front smoking in his banana hammock thong."  Followed by several giggle emojis.  

Funny thing is that the woman I know recognized me even never having been to my house & me being so indiscernible in the foto. And that the post wasn't directed at her or had called me out by name! She has seen my ass before when we went surfing a few times and wanted to see what thong I was wearing.

Thoughts?

Spent today in a thong, moving pavers out of my driveway and round the back. 
A neighbor one street over previously ripped out the pavers near their pool, to put in astro-turf. I asked and got the used pavers. These the work crew helped stack neatly in my drive, and it took a couple of days to move them round the back.
Then I hear he is ripping out the front driveway pavers. Big drive. Yes please. But the crew did not stack them at my end but just dumped five loads. Dumping caused a ragged pile with many broken and chipped ones. So spent yesterday afternoon and this afternoon picking up heavy large pavers, putting on hand cart and moving to the back yard. Being in just a thong made it easy to take a quick hose down. 
Several neighbours stopped by to look at the large paver pile.

You obviously did not read the bit where I said they regularly stop to chat. I always try to be friendly to my neighbors, if I am dressed or just in a thong. I think I have a generally friendly demeanor. This is something you can work on cultivating. Happyness is a choice, that comes from inside. Just now I was just outside getting the mail. One of the young girls from down the street bicycled passed and said hello. If people were uptight about me wearing a thong they would probably have told me by now, and probably would not be as friendly. If they were worried they would have told their kids not to talk to me. Unlike you I don't go looking for signs of disapproval. Even if one or two did disapprove I would probably just shrug, because I am not looking for affirmation. I am sure they chuckle once in a while. If they are sometimes amused by me that's OK. People should smile a few times a day. A neighbor who lives three houses away often invites me to dinner with his wife, kid and mother in law. I don't wear a thong to go visit at their house, but do wear very short shorts or a cheeky swimsuit. I sometimes babysit their kid. I was wearing very short shorts on last night's bike ride and later in the bar we went to down town. Got quite a few complements, danced with some cute young women and kissed by one. Not bad for my age on a Wednesday night. There are lots of guys on the ride. Once in a while one will crack a joke about my short shorts, but normally in a good humored way. I am sure a few guys on the ride dislike my shorts. Probably the same ones that were a bit jealous that the cute women were joking and dancing with me and not them. The path to acceptance is being friendly and nice, without being smarmy. To accept yourself first, before asking others to accept you. Then be mentally bullet proof, so even if someone cracks a joke or says something pointed you take it in stride, smile, and continue the conversation.

I was wearing a very narrow-backed rio and it was hot and sweaty. Fortunately the job required a hose and I was keeping wet to stay cool. All of a sudden there is a lady walking her dog, and slowing down to see what I'm doing. The bucket and squeegee was a give-away and I gave her a pleasant hello. She stopped and complimented my efforts. So I thought, "what the hell" and stepped out and introduced myself. She looked me up and down and said I was dressed for the job with a nice smile. I agreed and she moved on. Whew! I saw her again a couple of days later and was wearing shorts this time and she went home with some iris tubers I was digging up.

We moved into to our house here in the 'burbs in '08. Our neighbors to the east are a retired couple which the husband is partially disabled from a stroke. We get along well enough with them, watching each others houses when one of us is out of town etc. Cut to yesterday. I was out washing the vehicles in a Jovana 4D and I hear Steve say "Hows it going sweet cheeks?" I just smiled and said I was good and asked how it was going with him.

I told him I hope that his he and his wife wouldn't be upset with me wearing a thong. He said, "It's hot here, we don't care." They moved here from San Diego. They are thrilled with how much they could buy here. Their 4 bedroom, totally remodeled home is less than what they were paying for a small one bedroom apartment. Nice thing they also have a great in-ground pool. I hope they will invite me over for swimming soon. Really happy to have them as neighbors. Another neighbor who moved in this month, on the opposite side of the street, has been moving furniture in and out of his house today, so I'm sure the guys have seen me also. I have one other house directly across the street which is also going to be put up for sale. The construction workers all wave when they see me going out to road to get my mail, in just a thong. I am delighted with my neighbors. Never thought I would have this freedom outside Atlanta.
JM_Runs	#207
	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：06/07/2019 06:59:53Copy HTML On way to make sure you attract the right type of neighbours is to be visibly thonging outside when there is an open house. Starting to do that more regularly since both the house across the street and the one to the south are now for sale. If I am out front near the road many of the house shoppers driving by stop for a chat about the neighborhood and schools. We also do that when we want to protect our space in an anchorage or a camping location. When new people advance we make sure they see us in a thong so if they don't like neighbors in thongs they piss-off somewhere else. Same principle as on the beach. We were here first, so may well stand up when we see people heading our way, just so they see a person in a thong, before dragging a cooler, chairs and kids all the way over to our spot. Some time ago they were selling off the old "Beyond this point you may encounter nude people" signs from Haulover to raise money. A friend of mine has one nailed to his gate. Puts people on notice. :) Found a similar one Ebay for only $16 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Clothing-Optional-Hawaii-12-Inch-x-18-Inch-Decorative-Aluminum-Street-Sign/113759384229 Think I might have to get one to hang on my back gate that faces the house that has just gone up for sale across the street. People do care if they have chill neighbors, and live in a chill neighbourhood. Seeing a thonger out signals younger people (most of the people buying houses) that this is a live-and-let live community. Prissy people can go live by the church or in snooty gated communitie in Alabama. Good riddance.

If you have read any of my posts you will remember I very rarely wear more than a thong or g-string on my front porch or in my yard. Today my next door neighbor with the 4 kids under 8 yrs old saw me and came over to talk to me. I was wearing a small black Jaxfstk string thong- which is more of a g-string than a thong. He gave me some extra pansies to plant. He apologized about his grass, saying his mower is broken. I offered to cut his yard. So I cut his yard in the thong on my riding lawn mower. His older son is around 8 yrs old. His mother sent him over to tell me that while I was away in Savannah this last weekend the another neighbor called animal control to pick up the wild bunnies in my yard.

Jimmy (not his real name) has been over and inside my home while I was wearing just a g-string. I was on my front porch in just a g-string, like I usually do when it is warm enough to do so. He waved when he saw me and came over to talk with me. He had just bought a replica Japanese sword like from show on TV and was excited for me to see it. I smiled and asked if he wanted to see a real Japanese WWII sword. I went inside and brought out one my dad's friend gave him after serving in the Pacific during the war. I showed him the different woven areas that was an indication of how many people he killed with it. (at least that is what my dad's friend told him). He stayed and talked about his hot date he was going on and other things. All in all he stayed 40 minutes. Most of my neighbors I think forget I am wearing just a g-string when talking to me. Once they get over the initial shock they realize I am just their friendly neighbor who is comfortable in his own skin. When I told this story to my new friend I met at the lake this week, he says he also is in his yard in thongs and g-strings and most of his neighbors react the same way. He said the teenagers and young adults are the most accepting. I find this to also be true. Most say its your home you should be comfortable there, wear whatever makes you feel good.

My next door neighbor, the one who has 4 young kids decided to barbecue some beef in his backyard. As his house looks down into my yard over my fence, and they were going in and out of the house, they had ample time to see me in my g-string. When I had finished planting my gardens, it was hot so I went out on my front porch in a IKinsky thong. A few minutes later, my neighbor walks over to my porch with a huge plate of bbq. It was delicious. He should open a restaurant. We talked for a few minutes, he wanted to check up on me. Once again, he didn't mind that I had on a small thong. While I was eating on the porch, a young college kid came by walking his beautiful dog. We chat often but I never knew his name. We exchanged names as he apologized for his dog peeing on my mailbox. I also caught the neighbor across the street sneaking pictures of me as I stood to get my phone. I thought she was going to cause trouble, but maybe she just wants a picture of me. The police never came. I know I am legal because they responded to another neighbor's naked man call and told me as long as I was covered up front and not doing anything lewd, masturbating, or being completely nude, I was legal. Later two other neighbors walking by waved and said hello.

I used to never wear thongs but now do almost all the time. Ann and Marci have brought me some that are very small and form fitting. Some are relatively transparent especially when wet. Much like when I started wearing small bikinis on a dare many years ago, I have become accustomed to them and don’t think twice about being in public in them. I have posted a few new photos of them that were taken by others and shared with me. (see working thongs) Since the Covid 19 flare-up there are a lot more people walking the streets than before. Living on a major street drive by traffic is heavy with lots of honks etc. But now there have been dozens that walked past as I was out doing yard work wearing very little Some don’t look or look the other way. Quite a few say hi and stop to introduce themselves. While keeping a 6 foot distance we have short conversations and they continue. Some don’t even mention what I am wearing, but most do Comments range from “we see you out here all the time, do the police ever bother you for being dressed like that, where do you get such small swimsuits, you sure have a nice tan, aren’t you afraid is skin cancer, and I always drive by but never realized how small your thongs really are and how they fit so well. I also hear how they admire my courage or how they admire my I don’t give a darn attitude that allows me to wear what I want. They often wish they had that much courage. So the stay at home order has generated dozens of people now walking by. I know several people now from my neighborhood that I never knew before. One lady, Chris, walks by daily with her dog and always says hi how are things going followed by a gee your looking nice today, or I like that ______ (says a color) but I really like the white the best. She came by once when I was washing the car in white and it got wet and became very transparent. With temps in the high 80’s it is wonderful to be here in Phoenix meeting new neighbors and Enjoying the Arizona Sun.

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：04/24/2020 07:59:36Copy HTML Haven’t been on this board for a while and had to share a recent experience at my townhouse complex. I am usually alone when sunning there midweek so I am more than comfortable tanning in a thong or g-string. Still, my confidence was boosted today by this experience. I was already 1 hour into my tanning session. I had been on both sides evenly and had taken break in the water to cool off as it was in the high 90s. While in the pool, a female neighbor came to sun as well. I had not met her before so we exchanged pleasantries. Whenever I meet someone knew and I’m wearing a thong or g-string, I always ask, “does my suit make you uncomfortable? If so, I can cover up”. I have never had anyone say anything negative other than, “as long as there are no kids around, I think it’s fine.” This young lady, when asked said, “oh my. I’m working on my all-over tan, too!” She turned to show me a thong back with clear full bottom tan lines. She then said, “I was a little uncomfortable wearing this suit for the first time today.” As I got out of the pool and walked away from her towards my chair, I caught her taking a photo on her cell phone but I paid this no mind. I take it as a compliment at this point in my thonging. While laying out, I disconnected the sides of my g-string as it has a magnetic connection on both sides. It’s not really a swimsuit, it wouldn’t handle actual swimming without coming disconnected on the sides...it’s more for tanning. While I had the edges of my suit turned in to deter tanlines, the young lady swam over my way and said, “I really feel so much more confident now seeing you’re showing more skin than me!” Later, while I was laying on my stomach, I had the side ties tucked back where I looked nude from the side. I caught the young lady sneaking pics of me again on her phone. Since she was being so sly with her phone, I asked her if she would take a pic of me from the back on my own phone. She took about 10 pics, suggesting I turn slightly, raise my head, get the shadow off my face, she was a great photographer! Once she had taken them, I asked her to look them over for me and pick the best one. Then I asked if that one was better than the ones she had taken on her own phone. She then started to blush and admitted they were crap. At that point we both laughed and I offered her to text herself the best one she just took. After some more sunshine, I packed up to leave and stopped by her chair. We exchanged greetings again and I let her know her all-over tan was coming along fine. She again thanked me for the boost i confidence that she needed that day. I thanked her for the same and look forward to seeing a lot more of my new thong buddy at the community pool this season. (Pic she took of me standing in my black g-string has been posted to my profile)

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：04/25/2020 06:26:02Copy HTML AZthongeroo: Sounds like you may have a minimal swimwear tanning buddy. Since it's early in the tanning season, maybe the two of you will establish a new average norm for your pool. By average norm, I mean this: At pools (or beaches for that matter, but more so with pools due to the confined environment) you will have people who wear suits that range from very covered up conservative suits to very skimpy suits. I've observed that when more people (especially women) wear skimpier suits, it pulls the average acceptability of how much skin is shown toward more skin. When more people wear conservative suits that cover up more skin, it pulls the average acceptability of showing skin toward more covered up. As we've discussed on this board many times, it's kind of a herd mentality. Of course there's a few exceptions where the pool environment is very live-and-let-live, but those are the outliers. As I said at the beginning, hopefully, since you two are wearing skimpy suits at the start of the season, when other people arrive at the pool they will see the two of you and think that this is "the way it is" at this pool. Good luck. I have to admit I'm a bit jealous that you are already at the pool already this season. In my region we've had only a couple teaser days when it was warm enough to lay out. And with this COVID-19 stuff going on, I'm sure they're going to delay the opening of our community pool.

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：04/25/2020 01:11:19Copy HTML hopefully you two have kept in touch since you sent a picture and tan together! Always better in numbers tanning in minimal swimwear. Keep us updated and yes if she ever gets brave enough to take a pic of the two of you together please share her picture.

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：04/26/2020 09:02:54Copy HTML I have neighbors. the guy looks like he's 45ish the woman maybe late 30's or early 40's. We live in townhomes where they are in the center and they leave their blinds open all the time. they can see directly into our living room and vice versa. I wear thongs 100% of the time. I used to close the blinds but a few times I left them open and have looked up to see the neighbors looking, but acting like they weren't looking and they never closed their blinds. Now I leave them open and walk around and even exercise doing burpees and thrusters facing away from them, must be a show. anyhow they just sit there - their couch is right next to the widow and they sit there and I know they look because I see them, but we act like we both don't see each other and coexist. It is a little strange but I look good in thongs so I think they tolerate it. I also don't stare over. They always stay clothed etc....The wife has a mom and a younger sister who live there too. They all look, sometimes at night I see them wave their arm over at me like they're talking about me but I don't know for sure. I wave to them when I see them outside and sometimes they wave back.

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：04/26/2020 10:11:50Copy HTML If they did not like the view they would close the blinds, or angle the blinds so the light comes in but block the view. Selecting and excluding the view is easier with vertical blinds. They leave them open, so obviously they are un-phased. Saying HI and giving them a smile when you and they are outside seems like a good friendly idea.

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：05/20/2020 09:32:16Copy HTML Yesterday Grandma was walking one 4 year old boy, and his 4 year old friend from down the street was being walked by her mother. They were on the street one house away. I could hear the two adults were talking as the children were playing. I was taking a quick outside shower to wash of the sweat and dirt from fixing something in the yard. When the boy heard me turn on the hose (high pressure firehose like spray that makes quite a noise) he shouted "lets go to Thongmans house" and the children came running up my drive to look through my gate and ask what I was doing. That resulted in the boy and the girl wanting to jump in and out of the "sprinkler" as they called it while I waved the hose around. After they played for a while I chatted with the adults, but the kids implored me to do more water, so more water, and more running and jumping up and down. There was a time when we had no young kids on the street. Now we have quite a few families with kids and teens. Most stop and say HI if they are walking by, or at least give a friendly wave if going by in the car. This year, due to being cooped up at home, I have spent a lot more time around the yard, especially the front yard and the street. Last year I had some serious problems with weeds in the grass and other issues, but after getting cited by the city because one of my neibours complained about the length of my grass, and a pile of dirt that was delivered by truck to my driveway, I have been spending far more time taking care of the front yard. Not only did I prep and paint my driveways, but planted new palm trees and other plants. Unlike many manufactured looking yards mine is a rather natural looking zero scapped tropical oasis of green and shade. I am really enjoying my front yard, and the Fangipani that are now in full flower. I spend far to much time on the computer, so take breaks to walk outside. While out front I carefully inspect the grass for weeds, check for dead palm leaves, fix the other plants, and frequently walk out into the middle of the street to look up and down. I look to see who is parked in front of which houses, which builders are on which of the construction lots, etc. There are 3 new houses going up, and there are another three that were recently finished. Lots of knockdowns and new builds. I just got a load of heavy wood beams from a dock they were taking out. Intend to use these to fix the bad beams under my back deck. So every couple of hours I take a break to walk outside. I look up and down the street, maybe fix things in the yard, put the garbage cans out, or sometimes just to stand in the drive and look at the trees, the wind, the passing people or parrots in the trees. Everyone on the street, and all the workers on the street see me out in a thong. During the day the street almost always has some traffic. Not just the home owners but because many houses on my street are expensive. The sort of people who have other people do stuff for them. They have a lot of regular workers, pool men, yard men, house cleanders, etc. Then lots of regular truck men, mailman, UPS and the various garbage trucks, plus, because many are "fancy people" and their fav restaurants are closed, every door-dash and personal shopper service imaginable is rushing up and down delivering food. Compare to the rest of the city our neighborhood of long islands are quiet streets, lined with towering royal palm trees. This is attractive to people who want to run or ride bicycles. (Scooter rentals are shut down for now). The pandemic has upped the number of people not working, who have new time to exercise or chill out with friends on bicycles. A continual parade of runners and cyclists. The regular "exercisers" bike or run alone. It is the social casual bikers who come in groups. Most exchange greetings as they pass. So while I may not be out thonging on the beach, I am certainly thonging around the neighborhood, with even more visibility than usual.

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：05/27/2020 08:24:56Copy HTML As you know if you read my post all my neighbors have seen me in thongs or g-strings. Most of them I have said hello to or they speak to me first. The other day I was on my porch and a couple who moved in two doors down passed by while on a walk. The wife waved and said hello first, I responded and told them hello. The husband smirked hello in return. (I think the husband didn't like that his wife was smiling when she said hello, or maybe it is the fact that he is probably 75 pounds overweight). I introduced myself to the wife the week they moved in 2 years ago. They can see me in both my front and back yard in a thong. I believe over time my neighbors have become accustomed to seeing me almost naked and now accept it as normal for me and realize that I a very friendly neighbor. Once the initial shock of seeing someone in minimal attire and the person is seen often that way, the shock wears off and most people seem to accept it is your choice of clothing to wear. Time sometimes builds acceptance.

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：05/28/2020 02:18:23Copy HTML With all the positive stories I hate to be a Debbie-downer, but here goes. I've lived here over 10 years now and have gotten along well with the neighbors. The fences along the side are 6 foot with some minor gaps between the boards... you can kinda see something but nothing in detail. The fence across the back is another story... 4 foot tall with widely spaced pickets. I've always gotten along well with the neighbor behind and we've shared several meals together cooking out in the summer. I've fixed some of their computer problems, and installed an HD TV antenna for them because he could not handle the heights and pitch of their roof. I'm saying all this to show there's friendship there and they know me to be a standup guy. Last summer I was tanning in a thong on the deck which is sheltered from view by some shrubbery. Both him and his wife came to the back fence and called me over. I knew they saw me on the deck and also knew I couldn't ignore them, so I figured what the hell and walked to the back fence in my thong. They were both taken back by it and once the initial shock passed, he asked how long I had been wearing "that" on the deck. I replied since I moved in, and she said that she's glad she didn't witness it back then or we might not have become good friends. Eventually they gave the reason for the visit saying they wanted to invite us for a swim and BBQ. She immediately added that I should change, and the bikini-style Speedo that I usually wore was okay. They both said that it would be better if I never wore my thong off the deck and into the yard because they didn't want their 13 yr old daughter "seeing no man's ass". Then he kindly suggested if that happened, it would result in a call to the police. I know the law is on my side in this case but don't want to ruffle feathers with long-term friends/neighbors. I still thong on the deck but wrap myself in a sarong if I need to leave my pocket of privacy.

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：05/28/2020 02:32:17Copy HTML You need to install a 6ft fence along the back. If they wonder why just tell them you want to enjoy your yard and sun!
JM_Runs	#234
	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：05/28/2020 02:46:48Copy HTML I think you should suggest that if they don't like your thong then you would not object to them putting up a fence 6' fence, and offer to pay half the cost of materials. As a teaser you might want to mention you have a female friend who sometimes comes over and joins you, and she wears a thong and goes topless. "I am surprised you have not noticed her."
JayByrd	#235
	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：05/28/2020 04:17:05Copy HTML We thought about a privacy fence across the back, but don't want to box ourselves in. It's no big deal really... We can still sun on the deck without being seen.

My neighbors are pretty chill and don’t mind me catching some rays. They also appreciate that I will cover up before coming over to speak with them. JayByrd, I feel for you. Unfortunately if your neighbors decided to call police it would be a hassle. I believe the threat was unnecessary. Keep enjoying your deck.

I've even had a conversation over the fence with Gabe and his wife Sue a couple times while laying out by my pool. They invited me over for Christmas dinner last year with their family which was very nice. Their daughter who is in her mid forties playfully mentioned my thongs during dinner which we all had a funny moment with that discussion.

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：06/02/2020 04:29:33Copy HTML During the last few weeks my wife has finally plucked up the courage to wear one-piece thong swimsuits to lay out in the sun in our back garden. I've been wearing thong swimwear in our garden for years. It's really cool that we are now doing it together. Anyway, this last weekend we were both laying out on sunbeds - I was on my front with but exposed and my wife was on her back reading. I realised that our young neighbours (who live in a small house in the back garden of our real neighbours) were out on their patio and could definitely see my thong. They may not have realised my wife was wearing one too. I was a little abashed but decided to just carry on as normal. Nothing was said. This afternoon I went into one of our rooms that has a window looking over the big house next door's patio and was delighted to see the woman who lives in that house tanning on her front on her patio in a thong (or at least a small bikini that she had 'rolled up' into a thong). It feels awesome to know that there are others very close who wear thongs in their gardens too! I hope to see more of it in future!

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：06/04/2020 07:17:19Copy HTML A few weeks ago, it was hot enough to wear a thong outside, here in Belgium. So I decided to lay down in a thong in my garden. My neighbour who is also my landlord has a shed in my garden where he puts some materials that he doesn’t use that often. Normally he rings the bell at my frontdoor and ask of he can take some of the materials. For some reason, I don’t know why, this time he didn’t and came directly into my garden. I was just installing my sunbed and towel, ready to lay down on it. He did excuse himself (his head went on red ) and walked towards the shed. Where I replied that it wasn’t a problem, told him that I was ready to enjoy the sun. He smiled and said yes I can see that... He continued his way and I did the same :-D I’m sure that my neighbours now know that I’m wearing thongs and next time he rings the bell, I think :-D

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：06/05/2020 06:59:07Copy HTML Had a great day thonging with the neighbors in my townhouse complex yesterday. My usual thing buddy was there from earlier in the year and she has definitely got the tan lines figured out, with some coaching from me of course. 1 20-something couple with the girl in a thong and the guy in Aussie Bum short shorts. They both looked like swimwear models in their suits. Also had a great exchange with a newcomer. One who I had seen around the complex but not at the pool. Throughout the day she improvised her bikini bottoms more and more towards a thong and I complimented her on her tanning progress. When the day was through, I said to her, “it was good to see you.” Her cheeky reply was, “and it was good to see so much of you.”

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：06/05/2020 09:10:12Copy HTML I applaud your courage to go out in the complex AZthongeroo. I sometimes gather up the courage to go out front and not have a care. We have new neighbors and the other day I was cleaning out the garage in a cheeky almost thong swimsuit. He came over to ask if he could borrow my ladder. I went and got it for him in my swimsuit and he didn't care. He mentioned something to the effect of I don't blame you when you have a nice backyard like yours. I'm usually in my backyard in a thong so I guess they must have looked out the window and saw me before. Now that it is warmer I'm getting more and more comfortable going out front to water the plants or take the garbage cans out especially with my neighbors getting used to seeing me. Someday I will muster up the courage to wash the car in a thong. But being on here and reading stories such as yours is giving me the courage to just do it!

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：06/06/2020 12:57:14Copy HTML IN UK with variable weather it seldom seems appropriate to get outside with anything less than an overcoat! or so it seems. We are not used to that much warm weather. I have been stared at by neighbours while walking the dog wearing just shorts and sneakers and no top. Around the yard I will work naked or in a swim string (as long as my OH isn't around..) she considers a small bikini the very minimum and would be horrified if friends caught me even that way, so I just carry on with it pulled down at the back. She is embarrassed that I will get caught and calls me an exhibitionist. Frankly I figure it better to get caught, and for the whole neighbourhood to know so that it becomes yesterdays news. Just waiting from for some more sunshine to be able to check my theory... it may not go well

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：06/07/2020 05:05:11Copy HTML Some may get a kick out of this story. I was out front the other night having a cocktail and a cigarette wearing a blue Skinzwear Stuffit G-string. About 30 minutes later I get a text from a woman I know of a foto of me walking back to my garage with the questions,"Is this you?" & "What are you doing?" So I replied, "Yes. Having a smoke & a drink." After some back and forth she told me that a friend of hers lives on my street and posted it on facebook with the caption, "Just pulled up to the house and this was my view...neighbor's out front smoking in his banana hammock thong." Followed by several giggle emojis. Funny thing is that the woman I know recognized me even never having been to my house & me being so indiscernible in the foto. And that the post wasn't directed at her or had called me out by name! She has seen my ass before when we went surfing a few times and wanted to see what thong I was wearing. Thoughts?

	Re：Neighbors and Thongs Date Posted：06/10/2020 03:14:50Copy HTML Spent today in a thong, moving pavers out of my driveway and round the back. A neighbor one street over previously ripped out the pavers near their pool, to put in astro-turf. I asked and got the used pavers. These the work crew helped stack neatly in my drive, and it took a couple of days to move them round the back. Then I hear he is ripping out the front driveway pavers. Big drive. Yes please. But the crew did not stack them at my end but just dumped five loads. Dumping caused a ragged pile with many broken and chipped ones. So spent yesterday afternoon and this afternoon picking up heavy large pavers, putting on hand cart and moving to the back yard. Being in just a thong made it easy to take a quick hose down. Several neighbours stopped by to look at the large paver pile.
