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

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 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,

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"

LOL that's a bit much even by Dutch standards.

It's quite unsettling for me now when I occasionally have to call companies at home. It's nice that everything is to the point but it feels very cold.
