I think I have, and it makes me cringe. The postman delivered this big heavy box containing the kitchen stool I ordered, and when I bent down to pick it up, I forgot I was not wearing bras. I didn't realize until I was inside my house.

Now I am absolutely mortified!!!

Mine's worse!

I accidentally showed 3 men my -ahem- front bottom whilst wiping it after doing a wee.

It was 20 years ago and I still cringe!

Flashed my (female) boss the other week. Was feeling rough so took laptop up to bedroom to work from bed, and was merrily messaging her when i accidentally clicked on video message without realising, showing her my right breast and nipple in doing so. I have never been more embarrassed.

I'd just had a shower and realized there were no dry towels in the bathroom so I nipped across the landing starkers to get a fresh one from the airing cupboard.
Unfortunately DS's friend (aged about 13) came up the stairs at that very monent. I suspect he is scarred for life.
I later told DS what had happened, he was appalled.

Yup, postman delivered a parcel while I was in the middle of feeding. Forgot to do the strap up on my nursing bra before opening the door. I expect postmen get flashed quite frequently. Less embarrassing than flashing your boss!

DJBaggySmalls · 04/06/2017 23:51

I was having a pee behind a bush once and the entire hunt rode past behind me.

They were not particularly gentlemanly about it either.

BikeRunSki · 04/06/2017 23:51

Early 90s
Only girl in my course of 30ish
Took of my jumper over my head, at the start of a lecture
T shirt came too
I was wearing a bra, but there wasn't much to it.

When I was about 14 I had a really inappropriately cut swim costume. It had a deep v at the front, after diving in and swimming over to ththe kids pool I stood up to talk to my friend only to realise my right tit was on show to lots of mums, dads and toddlers Blush

Catinthecorner · 04/06/2017 23:58

Oh. All the time. I used to do a lot of kayaking in the sea. Out of the water, quick dry off and change in the car park and into the pub.

Good training basic for the military. A shower you didn't have to share was pure gold.

Hmmalittlefishy · 04/06/2017 23:59

I've flashed our lovely post lady getting up to answer the door after feeding and nit managed to be as covered as I thought. Also various people in cafes including a poor man in Costa as I forgot to tuck my boob back in my dungarees!!
But our neighbour across the road flashed me and dh last night walking around completely naked after a shower! I just said 'oh look she's naked I can see everything' 'then 'oh don't look we don't want her to see us looking g' and we both ran out the room Grin

LockedOutOfMN · 04/06/2017 23:59

Loads of times, really don't care. They can look away. Worst time was a school swimming gala. I cared back then. Blush

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 05/06/2017 00:00

Posties do get flashed a lot. DH used to text me when he was flashed and it was surprisingly frequently.

ilovepixie · 05/06/2017 00:02

My bedroom window looks out at a hotel, so the bedroom windows of the hotel face my bedroom window. One night getting undressed I forgot to close the curtains, I don't know how many people saw my baps lol

LoveMyLittleSuperhero · 05/06/2017 00:03

Yup! When DD was about 2 weeks old, I was surviving on 2-3 hours sleep and someone knocked my door four times one morning waking DD up everytime I got her down to nap (was trying to nap with her). Fifth time having just fed her to sleep I threw open the door with "what the f* do you want this time!?!?"

Topless, braless, wearing almost see-through leggings that never see outside, and my hair in what was left of the bun from three days ago. It must happen more often than we all think because he handed my parcel over as I profusely apologised and very kindly said "I remember those days well, hope your DD is doing ok" all while carefully looking at the letters on his hands and walked off. I realised about 5 minutes after shutting the door I hadn't got a top or bra on. Bought him a box of chocolates to say sorry and explained next time I saw him.

EeekWhat · 05/06/2017 00:07

Ugh, I wouldnt share anything too salacious - this is the type of thread that wierdos might get off on.

🤢😷🤢😷🤢😷🤢😷

lovemylittlesuperhero
That's brilliant.

Babyiwantabump · 05/06/2017 00:14

Double pumping in my bedroom when the window cleaners came - never could look them in the eye after that! And always made sure to close the curtains!!

LadySalmakia · 05/06/2017 00:16

Not knowingly but I really do need to put some nets up in the kitchen. It's only a matter of time.

Thisarmingman · 05/06/2017 00:21

Got stung by a wasp that flew down my loose tunic top and as I was flapping the top around trying to get it out flashed my colleague I was walking with and an entire street full of people plus all the cars queuing on the road.

AgnesNitt1976 · 05/06/2017 00:28

Flashed the Tesco delivery guy when bending to collect my shopping, totally forgot not wearing a bra and wore a dress that was a little too big. I twigged after a few trays were emptied then realised blushed scarlet but carried on whilst holding the top of my dress, the guy was fighting not to laugh. I still see him but make sure I am properly covered.

KeepServingTheDrinks · 05/06/2017 00:30

Apart from DJBaggySmalls (who tops me) everyone on this thread so far is FUCKING RUBBISH! And def being VVVU.

I inadvertently flashed my bloody minge!!!! and you're upset at a boob or a random nipple!

(apologies to this thread, I'm very angry in RL about a horrible situation, so sorry to be taking it out on all of you!)

maudismyfavouritepony · 05/06/2017 00:34

Feeding DD1 in my dressing gown, I could answer the door with her attached Grin useful truck.

The Postman came to door. He looked aghast, assumed because I was breastfeeding but realised once I'd closed the door that my dressing gown had fallen open, with me starkers underneath. Couldn't look him in the eye again.

steff13 · 05/06/2017 00:43

I've flashed my mailman so often I wouldn't be surprised if he started leaving $1s in the mailbox for me.

Rustypaperclip · 05/06/2017 00:46

At a funeral. I still turn bright red just thinking about it

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 05/06/2017 00:49

I was at a friend's 16th birthday party, it was a bit of a posh do with lots of elderly aunts and uncles sipping tea.

Another friend was pissing about trying to be centre of attention so when a plate of fresh sausage rolls was put down in front of him he decided to lob one over the table at me. It landed down my top and burned like a fucker so I jumped up to tip the sausage roll out.

Of course my boobs plopped out along with the sausage roll. There I was standing up in front of a load of posh elderly people with my tits out and covered in flakey pastry. Fun times.

Tartyflette · 05/06/2017 00:51

KeepServing, did you miss the bit where i said i was starkers?
Poor lad got an eyeful of saggy tits, fanjo AND large wobbly bum when I turned and legged it back to the bathroom.
I still shudder at the memory.
