So mortified...

Have had to name change for this...
Today at work, a colleague was showing me a video on the phone of her grand kids.. She's a slightly older.. Very curvaceous woman.. At the bottom of the photo reel of the video she was showing me.. there were 4 photos of her parading naked in front of a mirror with no top on, busoms pushed together.. You get the drift.. And posing provocatively.. I feel so mortified that I saw that and that she didn't realise... We get on really well.. But I wish I could unsee what I saw!

Bless her haha

Aquamarine1029 · 26/07/2021 22:14

I really don't see what the big deal is. I would have told her so she doesn't accidently show them to someone else whilst showing off her grandchildren.

…okay? Confused

Mortificado7 · 26/07/2021 22:15

I couldn't.. I didn't want to humiliate her. Imagine. Good for her and everything.. But I didn't want to make her feel embarrassed..

This is why a nude photo of me does not, and will never, exist. I would totally end up doing something like this and accidentally show it to someone inappropriate.

Aquamarine1029 · 26/07/2021 22:16

She'll be far more humiliated if she shows then to a male colleague or her boss.

TrainspottingWelsh · 26/07/2021 22:18

Why are you mortified? Also what is the relevance of her body shape or age?

Mortificado7 · 26/07/2021 22:18

The moment has happened now.. I can't now mention it...

Oh my goodness me too! It would either end up accidentally sent to a group WhatsApp or pop up on my home screen during a meeting! Maybe not but you can't be too careful 🤣
Mortificado7 · 26/07/2021 22:19

No relevance at all. I'm just setting the scene!

Agree. And it’s sure as hell why I wouldn’t send one to my somewhat absent minded/tech phobic DH…. God knows who he’d send it to by accident….🤣

Similar thing happened to me. Friend/colleague. Photo of her giving her boyfriend a blow job.

I pointed it out. We laughed.

Mortificado7 · 26/07/2021 22:21

Thank god I'm single so I don't have to bother with keeping a relationship spicy by taking naked photos! Part of me thinks good for her though.. Obviously it's important to keep the passion in her marriage alive.. But i wish I could unsee what I saw!

Yes, you can. Confused

"Flora, the other day when you showed me the video of your lovely grandchildren, I was able to see a few private photos of yourself at the bottom of your screen. I just wanted to let you know so that you can hide them before you show anyone else the video."

MolyHolyGuacamole · 26/07/2021 22:21

I get it OP, it's the second-hand embarrassment, because I'd feel embarrassed in her shoes. Yes, nudity is fine, but I don't want my colleagues seeing me nude!

Now, Chris Evans accidentally showing the world his 'bit' in a non-edited screen recording on his phone when he uploaded it to his Instagram story...bliss

Longdistance · 26/07/2021 22:28

You need brain bleach to unsee it.

StoneofDestiny · 26/07/2021 22:37

Mystery to me why people want to memorialise themselves in the nude or in compromising positions. Can't they just remember without pictures?

WhatAShilohPitt · 26/07/2021 22:37

I’d like to do a good deed for the day, so for anyone with an iPhone: you can opt to ‘hide’ photos so that they are hidden to anyone scrolling through your photos. This is the button you press EVERY TIME after you’ve photographed your bazookas for your lover. Also, if you delete the photo, also go into ‘recently deleted’ and delete it there or it is saved for 30 days. You’re welcome.

DerbyshireMama · 26/07/2021 22:42

No, she's definitely not a Flora. Maybe a Vanessa or a Sharon at a push.

MinnieJackson · 26/07/2021 22:46

I'm thinking she's an Angie or Tracey

Clearthinking · 26/07/2021 22:53

My friends mother came running out of the labour suite to show me a photo of the brand new baby, think ten years ago phone and the technology back then, but accidentally showed me a picture of her boobs in a lacy bra. She didnt realise and I just pretended I saw the baby pic and congratulated her!

She's a lovely lady. Really get on with her. I think the wonders of modern technology were probably a bit past her though.. She was totally oblivious!

Send her a link to an app like KeepSafe, which stores your private pics and deletes them from the Camera roll/gallery?

Subtle, and hopefully helpful. If she questions you, just say you thought it’d be useful to protect the precious grandkiddy pics?

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 26/07/2021 23:23

If she is a lovely lady, a lovely person would tell her to save her from further embarrassment.

Arsehole behaviour to say silent in my opinion.
