To try and kid myself that they probably just thought this was hand sanitizer?

Had a few viewings of our house today, I stayed out of the way downstairs and let the agents show people round. All was well.

DH came home before and the first thing he said when he walked in the bedroom was 'Please tell me that hasn't been there all day?'.

He was referring to the bloody big bottle of lube sat in the middle of our bedside table which helpfully has a label stating LUBIDO in big black capital letters. I don't know how I missed it when tidying but I did.

AIBU to think in the current climate, they probably just thought it was hand sanitizer?!

Yes I know adults have sex. But the fact our agent probably saw it. I feel very awkward now speaking to them.

Picture of the bottle we have attached for reference.

That name is genius though, Lubido, kind of like Ronseal, does what it says on the tin!

LunaPlena · 12/10/2020 23:52

Nothing exciting unfortunately, just my dh joking with me and then forgetting. No children, so we don't have to be careful with these things... or so we thought Grin

@SarahAndQuack

I wouldn't have noticed or cared?

So you need lube. Whoopie-do, your sex life is still going on. If I'd seen viagra I'd have blanked that too. Likewise tampons if you're of menstruating age, or condoms, or whatever. I really don't think anyone gives a shit.

Maybe not you, I would have definitely sniggered a bit in a totally laughing-with-OP-not-at-OP way. Take a chill pill!

Well I hope you were one of our viewers then!

@Howlooseisyourgoose - oh, I think it's funny too. I just don't think she needs to worry!

Reminds me of the time a landlord came to do a final inspection when we were moving out, came down from the (we thought) empty house and said ‘you forgot this’ to my husband and handed him the whip that was hanging on the back of the bedroom door.
My husband then blurted ‘it’s not ours. Well it is. But we don’t use it’, which, although entirely true really didn’t help.

Thankfully we never had to see him again.

😂😂😂 Yes okay that is definitely worse!

Well it does say 'intimate lubricant' and it was in your bedroom so as an eagle eyed or even a geriatric chicken eyed house viewer I would avoid using it on my travels around the house! But it's easy to do. There were handcuffs left on our bed when the window cleaner came one day. I didn't even try to dig further by explaining that they were my 4 year old's who was obsessed with his police outfit and left them there that day!

SarahAndQuack · 12/10/2020 23:59

@PineappleTopTart - I wish! We're house hunting and I'm still blanking out so many worse things than lube.

OwlBeThere · 13/10/2020 00:00

It was 15 years ago and I still lie awake at night cringing to the depths of my soul about it at times Grin

Jeremyironseverything · 13/10/2020 00:03

Well you might have got away with it I suppose - if the viewers were all partially sighted.

jessstan1 · 13/10/2020 00:42

I either wouldn't have noticed or would have thought it was hand santiser. I doubt many people would automatically think of 'lube', most people don't use it, I certainly never have.

Stop worrying about it.

Just wait till you're older. One of the hidden costs of menopause.Grin

QueenOllie · 13/10/2020 01:15

That's the exact one I use on my hair too as a PP said Grin

CSIblonde · 13/10/2020 01:19

Oh dear, it's rather crystal clear what it is! Sex toys,dirty knickers & porn left out are more common than you think. I did lettings & sales viewings away back when. First job after I left teaching. I used to regale my fascinated very tidy, OCD partner with what was left out.

SBTLove · 13/10/2020 01:22

I thought Id see the reviews on this, found on Ebay 🤣🤣

1forAll74 · 13/10/2020 01:37

The house viewers might have used it, thinking that it was sanitiser that you had left out for people to use, when maybe touching some things in the room.

imissthesouth · 13/10/2020 01:42

God this has made my night, you never know they might not of even noticed it, even if they did, who cares, at least they know you'll have a healthy sex life😂

ValidUser · 13/10/2020 01:43

I'd have noticed it but wouldn't have been bothered. At most, I'd have been amused by the name.

Enjoying this thread, though. Should buy a bottle of this and carry hand sanitiser around in it.

I'm dying. That's won the internet for the day, it can switch off now 😂

Thanks OP you have brightened my day!

Ericaequites · 13/10/2020 02:23

When looking at a house for sale, I opened a closet door. Several years of Jehovah's Witness magazine fell on my head. I lost interest in that house.
As it did not assault me, I would have ignored the lube. It does look like hand sanitizer.

Someone is at home discussing the house and saying 'so should we buy the house with the lube?'

PhilCornwall1 · 13/10/2020 05:02

🤣🤣🤣

The fact it says "intimate lubricant" on the bottle might be a giveaway.

Saying that, our bottle of sanitiser in the bathroom is from Poland, so that could have "Muff Buffer" written all over it and I'd be none the wiser.
