A woman has been left mortified after receiving an anonymous letter from one of her neighbours.
The note wasn't about parking in a private space or anything that neighbours usually have a tiff about, it was to point out that they could see "everything" through her bathroom window at the back of the house.
Sarah Yates who shares her home with her cousin, told the Manchester Evening News that they received the letter on Friday, pointing out an issue with their bathroom window.
The neighbour claimed the note was put through their door to spare them the embarrassment of having to have the conversation face-to-face.
Sarah, a 26-year-old journalist from Stockport, recently renovated her first home and refitted the bathroom, installing new brighter lighting.
She claims the bathroom has frosted windows and she assumed you'd only be able to see figures through it.
But the neighbour's note clearly states: "When you shower you can see everything.
"Didn’t want to embarrass you by knocking on".
Sarah, who is currently on holiday in Rhodes, Greece, said: "I received a text with the letter pictured from my cousin and was totally shocked.
"I assumed you could see our figures through the frosted window but I didn’t realise they could see everything.
"The previous owner had an old bathroom in and a dimmer light so they mustn’t have been able to see them showering before.
"I’ve put a new suite in and installed spotlights which are quite bright so it must have made a difference to what they can see."
Sarah says she has previously switched the lights on and stood in the garden to see how much can be seen through the window.
She added: "It’s just our outlines you can see but they obviously don’t want to have to see that through their windows.
"Once I’m back from my holiday I’ll be isolating for 10 days so I’m going to spend some time in the garden putting some taller plants in front of the window for extra privacy.
"It is all quite mortifying really."
