I like your handbag op!

Mademetoxic · 29/09/2023 17:32

I am on 3 times.

2 within a year of each other. November 2020, then August 2021. Then one at my house this year. :)

It's my claim to fame.

Ooh I really like your outfit!
Dh is on it in his shorts and flip flops coming home from the shop with a couple of bottles of wine 😂

GrimDamnFanjo · 29/09/2023 17:49

Me too! On a walk on our street. I saw the Google van ride on by!

granhands1 · 29/09/2023 20:05

My late mum was walking the dog

My brother is standing in front of his garage.

It always makes me laugh because he’s one of the loony tin-foil-hat brigade who likes to live off grid so that no-one can track him down. 😂

My husband used to be on Google maps walking the dog but it's been updated. My Dad used to be on there too.

My mil is sat in her car on the drive (she moved the following day)
My dds ex boyfriend is everywhere!
He's knocking on our (old address) door,outside our old charity shop,at the bus stop and outside the local KFC
Our friends dog is at our window (we had him for a few days)
He must have heard our car coming and was waiting,nose at the window-ready to greet us
So far so good that I've never been snapped (that I know of)

GrandTheftWalrus · 29/09/2023 20:54

I used to be but it's been updated.

Christonskiis · 29/09/2023 21:01

My old horses are on Google maps in front of my parents' house. I checked recently and they're still there from 13+ years ago

Echobelly · 29/09/2023 15:35

Yes, for years I was outside my parents' house with oldest DC in pushchair! It's been updated since, though.

It’ll still be there- top left I think you can click and see previous photos.

LakeTiticaca · 29/09/2023 21:08

My cat is on Google maps. He passed away a few years back and it hasn't been updated for a few years, so there he is , immortalised on our driveway 😍😍😍

BooseysMom · 29/09/2023 21:12

I have always wanted to be on Google maps! Once a camera car drove past us and I thought we 'd be on there but it was a Tom Tom car, DS said.

This makes me think of a time just after lock-down when we took DS to get his first haircut and I snapped a pic of him with long hair just before it was cut and right that second a man drove past in a van. In the photo his head is in the background. I think of the fact he'll never know he's in that photo...

Yes I need a life!!

Needmorelego · 29/09/2023 21:12

@LakeTiticaca is his face blurred out too (like they do with people)?

CapEBarra · 29/09/2023 21:15

There was a guy on Twitter who used to look up his parent’s house on Google Maps regularly. His dad had died, but on Google Maps he was still outside his house, gardening.

BestIsWest · 29/09/2023 21:17

I’m on there walking DS to school when he was about 9 (he’s 25 now). It’s a rear view of us and has been updated now though still shows if you look at the past dates.

Sharpkat · 29/09/2023 21:19

@Ęcosie you are VERY brave to be on your phone in that area.

Rshard · 29/09/2023 21:24

I’m in my front window, doing a jigsaw.

Needmorelego · 29/09/2023 21:24

@Sharpkat why? I go to Canada Water regularly and it's a perfectly fine area.
(might just look to see if I'm there too.....😂)

Ęcosie · 29/09/2023 16:53

Lol!!

Show quote history

Oh my gosh... are you my friend (and boss)?

Although, I have no idea why you'd be there.
