Apartment building

this is in new york, but actually in the netherlands you very often see people hang their blanket (from the bed) outside their window. i always find that strange... hanging it out like that will make it dirty, no?
as we live in a corner apartment, we have a lot of windows (the reason we decided to take it; so much light!), but all windows have an (insect) screen, so when you open the window, there is still the screen that cannot move. thats pretty common here, but i find it soooo weird! what if you want to throw something out of the window? ;) stick your head out, or just get the crumbs from the tablecloth?

Don't exactly understand what you meen with the screen, (een hor?)I hate that in hotels too, not to be able to look in the street. The sheet looks amlost like a cry for help in your photo.

Screens mean you don't have bugs that fly in when you open the windows. I hate having flies in my house so I prefer screens. I go out the door if I want to look outside or shake out a tablecloth. But I have a house so my front door faces outside, not an apartment hallway.

I am with Kay. Screens keep the bugs out. They are a fine invention. The solution to your problem? Don't throw things from the window!
