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.
Just tell them. If that was me I’d wanna know ASAP!
I’d drop a note, to avoid the awkward conversation that might happen & to avoid embarrassing your neighbour.
We need photo evidence to verify your claims.
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
Send them a dick pick of their own dick. that glass will be frosty the next time you see it.
Invite him over while she is taking a shower. Enjoy the view together. Let them draw their own conclusions.
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.
Send them this article, and flee the country. 0 interactions.
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.
“They did a really neat job with your appendix scar”
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"
just tell them asap. idk who tf thought it’d be a good idea to put windows in a bathroom.
Probably someone not fond of mold I guess.
