How do I tell my neighbours the windows in their bathroom are not frosted enough? (lemmy.world)

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
