Can't blame them a bit. I'm sure they wanted to scream out at times, "Enough already!"
It bugs me enough not having privacy because our house is attached to the store. When we first moved here, people would literally just walk into our house. Not even knock. Why? Well the lady that owned it before had her own house down state. She would just drive up on the weekend. So she didn't live here. It was more or less like a visit, so she was just here for Fri and Sat nights. Therefore it was almost like an open-policy.
When we moved in, many people just felt that things should be the same. Hell no baby. 
Hey, this is our private house. How would you like it if I just walked into your house any time I wanted to? So we had to crack down on that right away.
Of course we still have to deal with the fact that there is NO bathroom in the store. Yup, when we have employees work they have to come in several times a day to use the bathroom. Well this has gone on for almost 4 years. This month we are building a bathroom in the store. Then the door between the house and store gets LOCKED. It's really starting to get to me. Just think of it. You can never be truly alone.
So just with that going on, I can appreciate PRIVACY or the lack of it.
