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.

    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.

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

    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.

    I have no idea what to do about the not-so-frosty windows, but regarding your bonus question, that’s just lemmy being laggy. Next time you refresh you’ll see that you’re subscribed. I had the same question yesterday and saw it being answered somewhere.

    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.

    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.”

      I choose your answer (The first bit). This will get the message across, while also restoring a balance and asserting dominance.

    They might be installed backwards. I think some frosted glass is designed to act similar to a one-way mirror. So they’re probably inside thinking that the glass is practically opaque.
