Neighbours recently had their home remodelled, which involved them putting new glazing in their bathroom. The glass is not frosted enough and there’s a lot to see.

They are large windows too, starting at knee hight. How do I bring this up?

Bonus points if someone can tell me why this community keeps showing my subscription as pending.

    Go there, ring the bell, tell them. The longer you wait the creepier that conversation is going to be.

      And when you do it, make sure you stare at them unblinkingly to assert dominance.

      Agree, it might seem an awkward conversation but if they’re not idiots they’ll realise you’re looking out for them. You could leave an anonymous letter or something, but there is a good chance they’ll guess it was you anyways.

    I feel like most of the comments are making a bigger deal out of this than it really is. “Hey guys, just FYI your frosted windows aren’t frosted enough, we can see through them from over here, just thought you should know”

    It’s not really a complicated conversation.

      Right? It’d be a bit of an embarrassing conversation but it would be a lot less awkward to bring it up now instead of waiting months to tell them. The longer you wait the harder it’ll be to tell them that you can see them naked.

        “We frosted those three months ago. Why are you just telling us now?”

        “… I figured the free trial period had ended?”

    Invite him over while she is taking a shower. Enjoy the view together. Let them draw their own conclusions.

    I’d drop a note, to avoid the awkward conversation that might happen & to avoid embarrassing your neighbour.

      Even an anonymous note in their mailbox saying something to the effect of: “FYI, I can still see your naughty bits, not that I’m looking.”

    You don’t have to say “Hey, I can see your dang-a-lang” but maybe something like “Hey, you might want to frost your window more because I can almost see my reflection in your mirror” might work.

    You’re assuming they care. Maybe they’re comfortable with themselves. I used to make eye contact with my neighbors when I was showering and they were mowing. They stopped looking.

    Ask them to dinner and explain you usually like to enjoy a hot meal with someone before you see them naked. Classy AF.

    You’re going to have to post a few pictures for us to better asses the situation 🤣

    The framing in this conversation is important. This is difficult, but making it clear you’d rather not see that is how I’d go.

    I’d tell them that I noticed I could clearly see the furnature, wall, or some detail and would rather not see them indecent.

    No way around it, it’s going to be a bit awkward, but telling them shouldn’t seem like a weird thing to do. If you’re polite, telling them about the issue is a kind thing to do.

    Maybe a note outside their door? Could be anonymous if you don’t know them well and they don’t have cameras, saves both you and them the awkwardness

      This is a great advice. Little buffer gray zone so you don’t have to directly say “hey, I can see you when you take a shit”.

        I may be overthinking it, but I feel like bringing up those kinds of details unprompted is more awkward. Like you’re hiding that you did see something.

        Just say you can see into their bathroom and thought they should know. If they ask what you saw, or if they look absolutely mortified you can assure them you didn’t see anything like that.

    If You really want to by truly anonymous You could try to drop a message into the letter box. Check the visibility angles of their bathroom windows, so it won’t be obvious it is You.
