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.

    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.

    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,
        Dandan

        He replied inline to my email and under “Hope you made it back ok” he wrote " >I do not understand why this is relevant"

    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

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

    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.

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

    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.
