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.

    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

    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.”

      Windows in a bathroom let in so much natural light, I always feel much more comfortable with windows (even really big ones) as long as all the important parts aren’t visible from outside.

    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.
