A woman has been left cringing with embarrassment after receiving a note from her neighbours about her 'one-way' frosted window. She came to learn her entire neighbourhood could see her clear as day in her bathroom as her frosted glass had been installed the wrong way around.
Their joint note read: "A group of your neighbours wish to announce that the 'one way' frosty glass in your bathroom is facing the wrong way". The short and sweet letter has been shared on the Instagram group Neighbors From Hell with the caption: "At least they all took the time to discuss it and write a note vs. telling them immediately."
Commenting on the letter, one user said: "I’d become an instant hermit right there. Another user added: "I'd have just knocked and told them. Rather than let them know the whole neighborhood is talking about them." A third user said: "I thought the frosted glass was just sandblasted to rough up the texture. How is it possible for frosted glass to be 'one way'? If it's frosted on even one side, you shouldn't be able to see through either side, right?"

One more user added: "I would have to move out in the dark of night." A fifth user said: "My neighbours don't have frosted... or blinds. This gives me the confidence I need. I'm putting a note in their mailbox tonight!"
'My selfish neighbour stole our parking spot - my revenge means he'll regret it'
It comes after a man received a scathing note from his neighbours about his untidy garden. He explained how he has been their sole caregiver since his wife was admitted into hospital with postpartum complications.
Between worrying about his wife's wellbeing, he has been struggling to juggle two children and keep up with the housework. He said on Reddit: "We had our second child back in February and I’ve been caring for the newborn and our five-year-old while my wife has been in the hospital recovering from postpartum complications."
He says he has been prioritising his children above everything else - and has put a pause on all garden and unnecessary house improvements for the meantime. But it seems his neighbours have also noticed this change in his priorities, calling him out for allowing his garden to become overgrown.
He added: "I haven’t been able to care for my yard as much as I would like over the past few months. "At no point has my yard been out of compliance with city or HOA [homeowner association] ordinances, and at no point has anyone bothered to approach me directly about the matter."
Instead, he received a snotty letter through his door from his neighbour "congratulating" him on finally cutting his front lawn. The letter reads: "Congratulations. You mowed. That's twice so far this year, I believe.
"Can you keep it up? Maybe weekly? Or at least every other week? Your neighbours would be very grateful if your house did not look like it was abandoned."
The man added: "They even postmarked it and sent it through the mail, rather than walking a few doors down and speaking to me like a human being."
