to ask if you have accidentally flashed someone?

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!!!

Not sure if this counts as me flashing but when I was a student our flat lay out was such that if you didn't close the bathroom door when showering, anyone using the front door could see you.

This particular day I was home alone, showering with the bathroom wide open as you do. There was a burst of knocking at the door which I ignored. Then a repeat which I also ignored. Then I got that weird feeling that I was being watched.

Turned around to discover that the letterbox was up and a pair of eyes were staring at me. A not particularly embarrassed sounding voice went something like "Police, hi". Apparently they wanted to talk about an incident in the block, had heard the water running and the music (and probably my singing) and thought looking through the letterbox was a good idea.

I was mortified and not at all consoled by the fact that they thought I'd made their day. Always closed the bathroom door after that.

I flashed my 10 year old DS this morning. I came downstairs at 6:15 wearing nothing. No one else ever gets up that early, they all need to be pried out of bed with a crow bar.

He wa sitting facing the living room door, fully dressed and just said to me in a creepy voice "I've been expecting you" I certainly wasn't expecting him!

I don't who was more horrified.

WellWhoKnew · 05/06/2017 18:28

Flew down a giant waterslide, arrived at the bottom with great gusto, legs akimbo. Bikini bottoms proceeded me.

When my me and my DH were about 19 years old, we were at his DMs house doing some painting. She was out of the day and not due back for several hours. We finished earlier than expected and started getting frisky in the kitchen. We were very excited (those were the days). I was about to bend over on the kitchen table when realise I need to use the downstairs toilet first. Which was right next to the front door. I was quite a long time. DH was getting frustrated. He stripped naked and stood by the closed kitchen door. When he heard a door open and close he shouted jokingly "come on, you have been ages. Get your lips around this" . Only for the kitchen door to push open and his DM to be stood there looking at his very erect penis.
He was mortified and it put him off sex for a while. Me and DMIL couldn't stop laughing and even now 20 years later we still it up at family and friends gatherings. He used to hate it, we were a bit cruel. But he tells the story himself now and laughs about it.

HoldBackTheRain · 05/06/2017 18:52

limitedperiodonly that made me laugh more than anything on this thread! Your poor mum (and postman)

WashBasketsAreUs · 05/06/2017 19:26

I came home one night, mum had pulled my curtains so I just hopped into bed. In the morning I staggered to the window (naked) and pulled the curtains. My mum had washed my net curtains and it took me a while to register. The poor neighbour got an eyeful! He died soon after.

kaytee87 · 05/06/2017 19:35

Years ago I was sat naked drying my hair in my bedroom, heard a noise at the window. Window cleaner was cleaning the window. He had clearly seen me and yet still came to the door to get his money wanted to die.

SongforSal · 05/06/2017 19:47

I have no idea what possessed me to do this I may have been drinking lot's of alcohol

Dp and I were chatting and knocking a few back. I was drinking beer, rarely touch the stuff normally but it was one of those rare sunny day's we get in the UK. Anyhow, the sun mixed with beer and I was pretty merry. Decided I needed something to soak the alcohol up, so whilst Dp sat in the living room I put a Pizza and garlic bread in the oven, turned the music up and knocked back another beer.

This is when I had the GENIUS idea to strip naked, with only a kitchen pinny tied around my waist. I then proceeded to hold a whole Garlic Bread over my head before running into the room DP was sitting in, and declaring ''Garlic Bread and Tits!''....................Unbeknown to me, one of our male neighbours had popped round I was sitting on my sofa next to Dp. I was fucking mortified.

1984 - dived off a boat into the chilly waters of Lough Corrib in Galway and swam insouciantly to shore, stood up when my feet could easily touch the bottom, and wondered why my Dsis on the beach was waving at me with both hands and an expression of horror on her face. Bikini top nowhere to be seen. Fishermen sitting on the nearby pier gave me a thumbs up.

Oh the mortification.

ItsAColdDay · 05/06/2017 21:54

Trying on trousers in the changing room of a charity shop with DS in his stroller, he pulled the curtain back as I was bending over getting my trousers back on, in full view of the shop.

When I lived at home, I rushed upstairs to the toilet after a hockey match. Knowing I would be going into the (separate) shower next I pulled off tracky bottoms and undies and unclipped hockey skirt.

Exited toilet to walk into bathroom to come pretty much face to face with chap cleaning the outside of an upstairs window.

Poor chat almost fell off. Must've looked a site. Hockey top, naked, hockey socks with shin guards.

wheresthel1ght · 05/06/2017 22:10

My dp works nights, he opened the front door in a bit of a blurto let my friend in - it was only when I got home and yelled at him to put some coll other on that he realised he had opened the door and served coffee wearing a t-shirt and his tighty whiteys

I on the other hand didn't just asb one of the older male managers at work, but managed to drop my book clean out of my top and onto the desk. New top from Next, v neck, particularly loose fitting. I leant across the desk to point out something on his PC screen and my book fell out...was so embarrassed. He was a gent and acted like he hadn't noticed. I confided in a friend I worked with, she found it so funny she announced it to the whole office, Inc our md!

BaggypantsCrimplesnitch · 05/06/2017 22:13

I used to go fruit picking in the summer holidays, and sometimes the farmer would drive us to a more remote field with no facilities. It was surrounded by a thick belt of nettles, and somebody had trampled a curving path into them ending in a little clearing for us to use as a makeshift toilet. The nettles were very tall, so once you were in there nobody on the ground could see you.

However, there was a small airfield nearby (you're ahead of me, aren't you?) I was in the clearing, jeans around my ankles, having a pee, when a small plane flew over coming in to land at the airfield, VERY low. I did the only thing I could think of - I gave him a wave.

Oh, and in our student days, my BF (now DH) and I were having rampant morning sex a nice lie in when someone knocked at the door; DH yanked his jeans on and answered it. It was some Jehova's Witnesses who couldn't leave fast enough - probably because he hadn't bothered to put any underwear on or do up his zip...

mineofuselessinformation · 05/06/2017 22:14

Where I used to live, someone owned a light aircraft and used to approach their landing strip right over the top of my house... I'm talking at literally chimney height.
I have to say that there was the odd time or two when I had nipped on to the patio to put my clothes horse on it when I hadn't got anything on. I'm not Venus reborn, but I swear the wings wobbled a bit!

Shopkinsdoll · 05/06/2017 22:29

Years ago my boyfriend was cycling, he had those short shorts on, the type footballers wear. He didn't realise his tackle was hanging out every time he peddled. Haha! Just as well it was a very remote area. He was so embarrassed when he realised.

MarzipanPiggy · 05/06/2017 22:30

Only this weekend!

Staying at a hotel and a very helpful concierge let himself into the room to fix a broken blind. Only at that precise moment, I was standing bent over bum-facing-door, having lowered my jeans to change into my swimming costume. I literally mooned him!

He was profusely apologetic at not having knocked

TheRealLemonLyman · 06/06/2017 23:00

Many, many years ago when in my first house, I would walk through to my baby's bedroom starkers. The room was at the back of the house and there were no other houses that overlooked the back. Due to this there were no curtains at the huge sash window.

The house did however back on to an industrial estate. I would occasionally see a bloke having a fag when I went to the room but as the garden was very long I was sure they could not see me. Within a couple of weeks there was quite a crowd of blokes on their fag break.

If they were to witness me nowadays they would likely pay me to put up curtains and keep them closed

This made me laugh out loud. Sorry. My DS (also 10), likes to sit on our swivel cuddle chair with his back to the room, and then when someone enters, he spins around slowly and says 'I've been expecting you' in a slow, creepy, deep voice. So I could totally picture your experience happening to me with my boy! 😂

BeautyQueenFromMars · 07/06/2017 10:23

Oops, italics fail, sorry. Should've previewed!

Ev1lEdna · 07/06/2017 10:43

Yes. Taking off my jumper and my top came off too (so an entire pub) I had a very skimpy lacy bra on too. I was in my twenties. It would be far more embarrassing if I did it now.

Deathraystare · 07/06/2017 10:47

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

Yet another reason to ban it!!!

barrygetamoveonplease · 07/06/2017 10:59

I accidentally mooned a rabbi. I don't like to talk about it.
Screaming with laughter here...

Deathraystare · 07/06/2017 11:29

Rusty paper clip - we really need to know more. At a funeral indeed!!!!!

Whatsername17 · 07/06/2017 11:54

Regular when booby feeding. In my youth, flashing was not accidental. I don't know why I found it do funny. Beer probably. Mehmet. They are just boobs!

CressidaTheHeathen · 07/06/2017 12:50

I've driven home with my boob popped out. Twice.
