curtain twitchers
Peeping through drapes
Curtain twitchers are nosy neighbors who spy on others from behind their curtains, watching comings and goings on the street.
The term is chiefly British and mildly derisive, suggesting someone with nothing better to do than monitor neighborhood activity: The curtain twitchers will have seen what time you got home last night.
