Possibly the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to anyone, ever... cheer me up with your shame ;)

[SinkGirl]

This happened yesterday and I haven’t told anyone because I am mortified, but it’s getting to the point where it’s slightly amusing so I thought I’d share my shame with you all.

So my son is obsessed with bubbles. And being the obsessive person I am, I started researching how to make the best, giant bubbles. I’ve been using premade solution which is insanely pricey and you get through it quick. So I started researching how to make the best giant bubble mix.

Being a geek I was quite fascinated reading about the science and what works best. Turns out that adding lubricant is one of the best ways to make excellent giant bubble mix.

Not just any old lube, but J-Lube - an American powdered lubricant often used by vets, but which also has a reputation as the best thing for certain niche acts, apparently.

I tracked down a small quantity on eBay and placed an order, ignoring the listing’s title.

Yesterday our health visitor and a paediatric nurse case round to talk about the twins. I was showing them a video on my phone of the boys when this notification popped up.

I know they both saw it but they very politely said nothing. I am wondering which word caught their eye first - gay, anal, fetish or fisting?

I’ve been embarassed many times in my life but this definitely wins. I really wanted to tell “it’s just for bubbles!” But I think that may have made matters worse.

How do I ever face these women again?

Please tell me your shameful stories so I can feel better about mine

Yes, I think fisting does draw the eye, doesn’t it? 😳😳😳

Seriously, I think ^SinkGirl knows a thing or two more about quality bubbles than y'all.*

Why thank you. I shall report back on my lube bubbles ASAP 😂

I need a picture of your lube bubbles please, am both impressed and intrigued

I’m sure I read on here that someone managed to not close down a FaceTime call with her boss before she went to the loo...and managed to drop her phone and give him a lovely close up of her lady garden

Or you could try one of the fart/poo/period threads in Classics

I lost it at fisting

Do you remember that thing that went viral a few years ago, telling people to do a swipe up thingie on their iPhone camera screen? It took a selfie and automatically text it to the last person on your list. My friend sent a photo of herself on the toilet to her boss 😂

I have similar but not quite as bad.

I work for a small company and deal with our social media accounts, so my phone has access to our profiles. At Christmas we were decorating the offer and were putting photos etc on Instagram. I went for lunch and left my phone in the office so my colleague could keep taking photos. It’s an iPhone so you can use the camera without needing to unlock it. No need to worry about my colleague seeing anything embarrassing.

When I go back I had an email notification on my lock screen, a delivery dispatch confirmation from Lovehoney.

They probably think Bubbles is your DH's fetish name

I add sugar to the bubbles and it really helps
Funnily enough, J-Lube contains a sugar which acts as a dispersal agent for the PEO.

I will definitely post photos of my lube bubbles although I doubt I can beat the pros without some development. Check out these lubey bad boys!

Years ago my dad helped me decorate my fiat. He wanted to stand on my chest of drawers to reach up high.

My vibrator was stored in my bottom drawer, and for some unknown but mortifying reason it started vibrating when my dad moved the drawers

To pretend it wasn't happening I just talked and talked

When I go back I had an email notification on my lock screen, a delivery dispatch confirmation from Lovehoney.

That’s pretty bad - I hope it didn’t specify anything 😂

They probably think Bubbles is your DH's fetish name
And that’s why I didn’t mention the bubbles

The sad part is, obsessively researching bubble mixture for my son is the most exciting my life gets these days - definitely no rubber gimp masks or crisco here

Eek lived - someone shared something recently about finding their flatmate’s suction cup dildo and sticking it to their very high ceiling.

What you need is a vibrator with a travel lock which apparently exist these days, not that I would know ;)

Brilliant! I'm sorry but I'm crying with laughter at this

They're probably just impressed that you have enough energy for all that as a parent of twins...

A work colleague was merrily scrolling through pictures of my newborn on my phone, when they were faced with a close up of my 2-day-post-birth section scar that I'd forgotten to delete, taken with flash from a couple of inches away so could have a good look at it without bending. 🙈

On a train to a meeting in the city. Needed a pee. Slide door entrance to toilet. All fine. Unzipped my suit trousers and sat down to pee. I’d flow slide door wooshes open to reveal handsome man. Oh god I had forgotten to press the lock button inside loo. The shame.

I got quite tipsy at the end of my wedding day. That night, confused when I woke needing the loo, I accidentally locked myself out of the hotel room... in nothing but my nude knickers, and absolutely busting for the toilet. I banged on the door but my new husband was sleeping soundly on the other side of the soundproof glass that separated the lounge area (we were in a suite) from the bedroom. I then ran up and down the corridor crying as I was sure I'd have to go down to reception in my pants.

Then I went back to our room and banged one last time and by some small miracle my husband heard me and let me in.

The next morning I discovered what a lucky escape I'd had as his friends, who were staying in the same hotel, had been propping up the bar (opposite reception) until 5am.

I also discovered our room had a doorbell.

Once when showing my very Christian mother a picture my brother sent me, a notification popped up from my “friend” confirming the threesome we had planned for when I was back in town.
I have never wished for something to go away so much in my life oops

Brilliant! I'm sorry but I'm crying with laughter at this

That’s okay - at least my shame has an upside

this better not end up in the daily fail

Everyone’s had a good laugh at my expense and learned a bit about bubbles. Win win

They're probably just impressed that you have enough energy for all that as a parent of twins
You’re right - in fact they must have known there was another explanation, surely!

lissie I think those loos are designed for that, its so easily done!

Yep, you win

Ok here’s mine
We were moving house and had either moved most of the stuff already or thrown certain things out. One certain thing being the toilet brush
So I stop at the flat we are moving from briefly after work to do some cleaning and sent DH the following msg
‘The world has just fallen out of my arse and there is no toilet brush’ (don’t ask me why we are so open with each other about our toilet habits)
Anyway . Right at that second DH was showing a guy at the bank some info on his phone which was needed to change over his details to the new house

OMG that is foooooooooking funny!

When I worked in a bookshop, I used to do the kids storybook reading on a Sunday so I had been making a new merchandised stand to advertise it and took some photos on my phone. Went on my lunch break and one of the seniors asks if he could look at the photos so I handed my phone over and he swiped through.... but I forgot that the night before my boyfriend and I had taken some amorous photos and he swiped right onto those...

Nooooo... yikes!

I’m starting to feel better, thank you for sharing your shame

Oh my god you poor thing! Are they ever due to come round again? If so I'd say 'haha oh god sorry I HAVE to mention this, it's been totally plaguing me ever since! This thing popped up on my phone and I felt too awkward at the time to say and then realised not saying made it worse [insert the story] I feel so cringe about it so had to say, hahaha!'.

When I was working for a political organisation, we were prepping for an event and one of the 'high-profile' external speakers came into the room before to upload his presentation. My colleague was there at the time and the speaker went to the wrong folder on his USB and up came a whole host of gay porn downloads. They had to literally pretend it never happened, and divert to the right folder. It was not mentioned, but never forgotten . The reason I mention 'gay' porn is that my colleague is also into men so I think it made it 'slightly' less weird. In the way that I would feel more akin towards a female having gay porn on her USB.

Actually I take that back, it's all awkward no matter how you slice it!

That has cheered me up no end OP! OH MY GOD @ladybee28 that's a good one too!
