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.

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

    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.

    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.

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