A creative homeowner in Lake County, northeastern Illinois, took a unique approach to deal with nosy neighbors by painting a cheeky message on their roof. The message, which reads ‘watch p*rn, not me,’ was intended to mock those who spend excessive time spying on Google Maps or poking their noses into others’ business. However, the stunt unexpectedly backfired as tens of thousands of people are now flocking to view the property.
The stunning waterside home, situated in a region known for its diverse natural terrain, including sand dunes and prairie, caught the attention of a Facebook user who shared an image of the crude graffiti on a dedicated group chat for satellite imagery enthusiasts. The message, painted in white block capitals to create a stark contrast against the black roof, quickly made its way onto Google Images, making it visible to the entire world.
Interestingly, historical Google Maps images reveal that the text has been on the roof since 2008 but has faded over the past two years. The Facebook post highlighting this incident has garnered over 120,000 interactions, with many users expressing their thoughts on the irony. Some commenters noted how the homeowner’s attempt to deter nosy neighbors had led to the entire world becoming fixated on their rural property. Others joked about the situation, empathizing with the homeowner’s failed outcome.
The identity of the person behind the teasing message remains unknown, but speculation among social media users suggests that it was likely the homeowner or someone associated with them. There is currently no comment from Google Maps regarding this matter. It appears that this unconventional approach to dealing with nosy neighbors has inadvertently put this property in the global spotlight.
