Q: Is it wrong/illegal of me to look out my window? An amazon delivery worker misinterpreted and stared at me very angrily.
I'm a young man in my 20s, literally just in leisure in my room and I like having my blinds open so light comes in and I'm looking out my window and there's a pool, trees and a sidewalk that leads to other units. Well I get a weird feeling and I glance over and an amazon delivery worker was walking but stopped dead in her tracks looks up at me (I'm on a second floor) and just stands there in a hostile way, looks angry, swings her arms, and idk what she was saying but probably cussing. I back away and leave and I'm super uncomfortable. She eventually leaves, I calm myself down , I'm sitting in my chair and in my peripheral vision I see her come back, and see her taking pictures (and probably a video too) of my window with her smartphone. She then eventually leaves but was there for a while. I'm nervous now, closed up my blinds and I feel it's unfair, did I do something wrong? Did she do something wrong? I also worry she's mentally unstable. I'm in Florida state by the way, Thank You!

A:
You didn’t do anything wrong by simply looking out your window. It's perfectly normal to have your blinds open and to observe the surroundings from your own home. As long as you weren't engaging in any inappropriate behavior, it's your right to enjoy the view from your residence.
The Amazon worker’s reaction might have been a misunderstanding. It's possible she felt uncomfortable or misinterpreted your actions, but that doesn't necessarily mean you did anything illegal. Her decision to take pictures of your window without your consent is questionable, though, and could feel invasive.
If this situation left you feeling unsafe or uncomfortable, you might want to report it to Amazon or your property management to ensure it doesn’t happen again. It’s important to protect your peace of mind in your own home.
