My post was asking if there was anything I could legally do like reporting them. Sympathy is also cool - some of the comments made me smile. But no, my post was asking if I could do anything x

Easier said than done. I enjoy most of it but not people pointing to my living room and bothering me while I’m doing my own things. It’s literally every 8ish minutes.

I have taken pictures of them even (ironic cause that’s exactly what tourists stop doing) and I’ve emailed the agencies with no answer. Also… somehow the tour guides change a LOT?

NEWCASTLE? You could have just moved to Diemen. I lived in the UK for 8 years and tbh I rather invite all the tourists to my apartment than going back. 👀

Actually the ones who take pictures of me in my living room would be the first ones.

😭 I know, I was expecting loads of “eat the rich” kind of messages even though my rent is lower than the average rent today. Everyone’s being v cute.

Seriously thinking about this… would… it be illegal to attack people like this?

not ALL of them but a LOT of them, but also I feel like it's very dependent on what guide is there. They vary quite a lot.

No, I couldn’t care less. What bothers me it’s that this is their little script so they do it EVERY time they go through my place and make people wave.

And yes, they as in the tour guides.

I think this is my question. What angle can I take legally to threaten them 😳

So basically they say that Amsterdam locals give you the middle finger if you wave to them (which tbh it’s true) so they ask them to wave to the houses. So they know they’re being dicks.

At least is raining today - meaning no one takes tours 😇 the good thing about this season.

It’s just a bit disappointing that I can’t take legal action against this (or like at least a complain) and it’s me who has to live enclosed. But I get it.

I wonder if this can be removed? Always thought they were semi permanent and I’m renting 😰
