A woman in Leeds was left red-faced after receiving a letter from a neighbour warning that her bathroom window was "very see-through." The resident, named Evie, shared the note on TikTok, where it drew hundreds of comments and hundreds of thousands of views.
Neighbour's warning letter
Evie, who lives in Leeds, found the letter posted through her letterbox and opened it to discover it came from the people living behind her home. The letter explained that her bathroom window offered little privacy, particularly in the evening.
The note read: "Hey! We really hope this isn't weird, but we're from the house behind you and just wanted to let you know your bathroom window is very see-through.." It added: "Definitely not trying to embarrass you, and again hope this isn't too weird, but we just wanted to let you know! We are an all-girl household also!"
"But there are men on either side of us (yuck). Stay safe and have a lovely rest of your week xo," the letter concluded.
Viral TikTok reaction
Evie posted a picture of the letter on her TikTok page, @ev1e4, with the caption "Happy Monday!" The post quickly gained traction, with users praising the neighbour for flagging the issue.
One commenter said: "That was a very brave and sweet gesture, bless their hearts." Another wrote: "I'd leave a big thank you sign on the window for her."
A third person shared: "My mum made me stay at her new house after dark so we could determine just how see thru her bathroom window was. Window film was ordered shortly after." A fourth added: "I've almost wrote this letter to the house behind mine. Their bathroom window is opposite my boys bedroom window and their toilet is right next to the window. We can see everything."
Frosted window limits
Frosted windows do provide strong privacy at night by diffusing light and completely obscuring clear details, though very sharp silhouettes or close-up shadows might still be faintly visible if a bright light is directly behind a person.
