How can I EVER face him again!

I am so bloody embarrassed! I have broken out in spots which I have not had for years and years. Anyway last night I remembered an old school girl trick and put blobs of toothpaste on each spot on my face then went to bed.
This morning an early knock at the door it was the postman. Still in my dressing gown I opened the door and took my parcel.
I noticed that he was trying not to look at me but as I had forgotten about the toothpaste I thought no more about it. Until!, I looked in the bathroom mirror. What a bloody site!

I had a similar experience, op.
Opened my door to pick up a parcel from the mat and saw my neighbour waiting for the lift. He turned to say hello.
Not only was I in a skanky dressing gown (lockdown chic), but my hair was rank and I had dots of sudocreme all over my chin/nose, which I only remembered after I'd shut the door.

Don’t worry, he’ll have seen worse.

If it makes you feel any better I’ve read twice online and been told once in real life of women who were breastfeeding, baby fell asleep, door went and woman opened it to a delivery driver with their boob(s) out.

Also my friends brother is a delivery driver and the other day while on the phone to her she started laughing because her brother had messaged her ‘traumatised’ that he’d just delivered a parcel to a man in a dressing gown which was too loosely belted and his penis was showing a bit.

Once my partner fell asleep with a clay face mask on (green coloured), the next morning he woke up in a panic hearing the bin lorry realising he forgot to put the bin out. Ran out into the street just in time to catch the bin men, he said the bin man was giving him a funny look, then the neighbour gave him a funny look walking back to the house. Wasn’t until he got back in the house he realised he had a green cracked looking face 🤣

UpToonGirl · 08/11/2022 20:23

He definitely has seen worse!

Please don't put toothpaste on your skin though, it's really not good for it.

Unfortunately I'm one of those mums that was breastfeeding & baby fell asleep, answered the door with one pap out, only realised when i felt the chill, mortified!

Went into the shop on Sunday to get milk after walking the dogs. It was only when I got back to the car I realised I had a leaf on my head that looked like a small lump of dog shit. Wondered why the girl looked at my head when she was serving me...

When I was a teenager my dad put some lip balm on that was on a table in the front room, then he the nipped to the corner shop. He didn’t know know that the lip balm (in a stick) had glitter in it and turned a pale purple colour once it was applied (I was a bit emo back then!). He put loads on too, all round his mouth as his lips were really chapped.

I once had a cheery conversation with a colleague with baby powder all over my head. I was using it as dry shampoo and forgot to brush it out. Felt a bit of a twat when I looked in a mirror.

Engineer came for a gas check and I didn't even realise until he had left that I had been talking to him with my whole tit and nipple hanging out. I wasn't even breastfeeding at the time, got dressed quickly before he came and didn't realise my top wasn't pulled down properly. I did wonder why he seemed really uncomfortableHmm

Oof - that must have taken a couple of sleeps to get over!

I once I was in a pub beer garden with new work colleagues. Whilst chatting I had been caressing the lovely woodgrain on the table. When I followed their eyes down I realised it was dried bird shit.

Hahaha that's totally something I would do 😂

BTDT. Was living in a very conservative Asian country back then. Baby fell asleep, doorbell chimed, I walked to the door and opened it with my boob completely out. Poor man stared at the ground while getting me sign for a package.

Another story? I used to smoke. At a party in a very dark and smoky club someone asked me for a light. I put my hand in my purse and grabbed a ... lipstick instead of my round lighter. He laughed, I laughed, I tried again and offered him a maxi tampon.

vipersnest1 · 08/11/2022 21:51

Ah well, you see, the milkman (back in the days when I had one - he was given the push as he kept delivering after I'd gone to work), once commented on the fact that he didn't recognise me in my clothes....
This was as opposed to me being in my dressing gown, of course!
You'll get over it, @Stangerthings, and I'm sure the postman will too! Grin

Herejustforthisone · 08/11/2022 22:30

This reminds me of one of those ‘embarrassing moments’ sent into Sugar or Bliss magazine.

“I was at my school swimming gala. Me and my friends were on the side laughing and splashing the boys, including my mega crush. I looked down and nearly died, my tampon string was hanging out of my swimsuit! CRINGE!”

😆sorry, OP.

Herejustforthisone · 08/11/2022 22:32

Actually everyone’s stories remind me of e embarrassing moments. Pleasantly nostalgic.

Birdsofafeatherflocktogether · 08/11/2022 22:42

My dp ordered two rucksacks for his kids via my eBay account
anyway,I’d forgotten all about them (about a week later) when he went out to see his mates
door went,so I got up,opened the door,draping myself up the doorframe (while wearing my not sexy pyjamas) and uttered the words ‘fancy a shag lover?’
’no thanks love’ was the reply-it was only the bloody delivery guy with the rucksacks!
I still can’t look him in the eye…

shoobydoobybop · 08/11/2022 22:48

During the decade I worked as a parcel delivery driver I've seen a woman's breasts fall out of her very loose-necked t-shirt whilst signing for a parcel and there was an elderly guy I delivered to who always answered the door completely naked.
You needn't feel embarrassed.
