TIFU by getting caught looking like a peeping Tom by my neighbor.

This morning, my (30sF) blinds on one tall window that I walk by frequently broke and came down completely. I can’t replace them until tomorrow, so as it was getting dark, I was starting to notice just how many people could potentially see into my third floor apartment at night. It wasn’t a quick look. I was looking for a minute or two, moving around and trying to see what people can see from different angles to get a sense of what they’d see if I walked by my window. Oh, and I’d just taken a decent sized edible, so it never occurred to me to turn off the lights to prevent exactly this from happening.

Anyway, at some point, the one window I’m actually pretty close to directly across the street had some movement going on inside. I noticed it with a glance but then looked away because I was trying not to be a creep who looks into peoples’ windows. I also wasn’t wearing my glasses and it’s a small window, so I didn’t know what it was. But a little later it clicked with me. I think it was my neighbor, waving at me. He’d seen me sitting there that entire time, stoned and peering at all of my neighbors’ houses like a peeping Tom. And so he waved at me, a big exaggerated wave. At least I think that’s what it was. And I’m just so incredibly embarrassed. We’ve never met and I’m considering leaving a note on their door, but I’m worried it’ll sound like a lie and make me seem even creepier. I’m also worried it was a ceiling fan or something and not actually my neighbor, but I’d hate for them to go on thinking I’m a weirdo if it did happen. Ugh.

TLDR: I was looking outside trying to see who could see into my windows and I think my neighbor thinks I was being creepy and peering into their windows.
