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

I doubt I’d have the balls to bring it up to anyone in real life ever but I may try and work the bubble recipe into conversation at their next visit!

That’s an urban myth, Youokhon.

I still haven’t gotten over loudly mis-pronouncing ‘Phuket’ to my ex's very middle-class mother.

I once took a photo of my vaginal stitches after birth - I don't know why...

Anyway, a few months later I was showing a new friend photos of a holiday on my phone, she had the phone in her hand and was just scrolling through - when she must have done a fast scroll as the photos went wizzing by and landed on my punched lasagne fanjo.

We didn't really bond after that.

Yes, enthuse about how much your dc loved the giant bubbles and the secret ingredient worked perfectly. Was thinking about doing giant bubbles at a school thing but probably couldn't look PTA treasurer in the eye again if I had to submit receipts for that.

I went on a field trip when I was 18 - came home and my lovely mum had kindly changed my bed sheets - and my vibrator was still under the pillow as I'd left it, but they had different pillow cases on

@YouokHun oh my days that's hilarious! Not entirely surprised they didn't stay together after that!

The worst one was for me when I was giving my bf at the time a BJ and my Nan walked in BUT DIDN'T SAY A WORD WHYYYYY and stood there and done that cough thing WHY so fucking embarrassing I'm cringing now thinking about it again for fucks sake

v similar to you OP
last week i took.a photo of the contents of my tissue after i blew my nose...
why i hear you ask!???
well it was bizarre and looked like a massive black clot... it probably was..
anyway later tjat day at my choir practice i opened my gallery to find choir lyrics id taken a pic of.
and as i had offered to share lyrics with a few others crowded arpund my phone it opened up with a giant close up of what looked like a clot passed at childbirth not thr contents of a tissue
mortified

Op I have used Guar Gum to make giant bubbles. It's. Absolutely fantastic and one packet lasts for ages

This is hilair. Laughed so hard I woke up all the babies in the maternity ward at the hospital across town.

Have gone to the toilet for a well needed pee while wearing a microphone round my neck. Everyone was too polite to mention it but they couldn't quite look me in the eye.

Once had bf drop me off at the shop and he he said he'd just drive around as there was no where to park. It was pissing down so I didn't notice when I jumped into the passenger seat of some random man's car.

This is soooooo funny!

I have one. Slightly embarrassing but not so bad.

I have a pebble vibrator (Lelo) and I had it in my bag the other day but I had taken it out of its case. I was in a taxi on the way to my boyfriend's house when the bloody thing decided to turn itself on. I could feel my bag vibrating but I didn't want to take it out there and then to switch it off.

That's when the driver said to me: "I think your other phone is vibrating in your bag"😊

I had to pretend it was my work phone and my boss was a very persistent caller, but I didn't want to pick up. Somehow I don't think he believed me.

You could try a guar gum recipe instead, but apparently there’s slightly more risk of it going wrong and you need more ingredients so I went with the J-Lube.

I opted to have a vasectomy with just a local anaesthetic. Laid on the bed, half covered with the sheet thing. A female nurse walked down the side of me explaining the order of things. She got to the business end telling me that the gel used to numb me was very cold. Whilst applying it she said" oh, yours names onesmall, are you (wife's forename) husband?" Still, could have been worse I might have got an erection

Laughed so much at this OP, thank you - it is truly magnificent

lissie12, the EXACT same thing happened to me on a Virgin train. Those fucking ones where you have to press a button to shut the door and then another to lock it (why??!?)

Also, my boss once walked in on me in the loo at work while I was having a shit. We did get past it but I still have the occasional hot-and-cold-all-over flashback.

@SinkGirl I'm in hospital right now and the woman in the next bed to me has just asked me if everything is ok when she heard me go 'Oh god nooooo' and shake my head when I read your post. I have assured her that all is well.

Oh my god I can't breathe .. how the hell do you ever get past something like this???

Ben, he (yes, he's a he, I'm a she, if that makes it worse/funnier...) backed out RAPIDLY, left it a decent interval, then came to my desk and said a quiet sorry. I said that's OK and we crashed on.

Walking into a room full of strangers with a clipboard kind if over my chest. ( loud creaky door, quiet room, all eyes look to whoever entered the room) sitting down and seeing a sanitary pad stuck on the back of it

I was once in a text conversation with my best friend and the lady vicar who runs our toddler group sent a message through without me noticing. I sent a reply reading FUUUUUUCK OFFFFFF!!! and had no idea it was to her and not my friend until I got a reply saying "I don't know if that was for me?"

I worked with a complete twat of a bloke, couldn't stand him. One day we were the only 2 at work, so ended up chatting. Unexpectedly discovered we had a shared interest of some sort - can't remember what (cats maybe?) so I was scrolling through pics on my phone. Suddenly I was confronted with a pic of me in my underwear I'd taken to send to DP and forgot to delete afterwards. I just shut the phone down and walked away.

@DarlingNikita I am cringing on your behalf. I also impressed you went back to work and didn't just leave immediately and book a flight to Oz. 😂

My best friend send a text to her DH saying 'your mum is a fanny' except she sent it to her MIL of course ...

I have slight anxiety issues and I also have some pain problems. Deciding to go to poker I took two valium just before I set off, however, I also took my pain medication. So walking into the game I'm just about anxiety free n feeling fine. After that I remember nothing for the next two days. The 2 meds had combined together to send em a but loopy for a couple of days. When I finally came round in hospital they told me I was ripping out my IV and canula, couldn't remember my name. When I went back to poker the next week they told me I was outside trying to open drains, falling asleep, counting bricks, talking to random objects until they rung the ambulance. Luckily it was all taken in good humor as they took the piss all night with little funny jokes here n there. It was weirdly sort of bonding with the rest of the group.
