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.
Yeah exactly right. In a few weeks it’s worse.
Bring a video.
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.
“They did a really neat job with your appendix scar”
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.
Just tell them. If that was me I’d wanna know ASAP!
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.
Stand naked outside the window and knock.
Or, just put a letter in the mailbox or on the front porch.
I choose your answer (The first bit). This will get the message across, while also restoring a balance and asserting dominance.

dennis reynolds??
You’re going to have to post a few pictures for us to better asses the situation 🤣
We need photo evidence to verify your claims.
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.

Send them a dick pick of their own dick. that glass will be frosty the next time you see it.
Bring up this issue happening with you, in casual conversation. For example: “when I moved here the house had a lot of issues, for example […] and the glass was not frosted enough. We eventually fixed this […]”
The idea here is that you won’t be telling them directly, they’re going to realise it on their own.
I love this haha, I live in NZ and people here are very indirect and non confrontational.
I’m Dutch so quite the opposite.
I was working with a Dutch guy, he’d just flown back to Netherlands and I sent him an email that went something like:
Hi Jan,
Hope you made it back ok,
<work question>
Cheers,
DandanHe replied inline to my email and under “Hope you made it back ok” he wrote " >I do not understand why this is relevant"
Here in Latin America things vary quite a bit, specially in areas with heavier impact of immigration. So I guess that the folks here learn how to “gauge” how indirect you need to be, as being too overly indirect is also bound to piss some people off.
