Doing anything embarrassing when you thought nobody else was around or looking ?
My DH annoyed me today and I thought he had gone out so I was ranting out loud . Then heard him come up the stairs as he had forgotten something. He heard something but not the exact words and said “You alright ? Who you chatting to?” I just made out I was annoyed with my phone freezing on me !

As a teen my mum walked in on me dancing which was very embarrassing for a young girl although could have been worse !

As a teen, I was on the phone to my dad and he said something that exasperated my young self.
I said goodbye, hung up the phone, and started ranting about him to my friend, who kept egging me on, in what seemed like an awfully long conversation.
He then called me back and said I had forgotten to hang up and he had heard everything

When I was a teenager a friend phoned up (house phone only) and I blurted "thank god, you need to help me think of a lie so I don't have to go round Liz's this weekend" then the other person said "this is Liz" Blush

I rant to myself constantly at home, when I go out sometimes I forget to dial down the crazy. I made another woman jump at the supermarket a while ago by accidentally saying quite loudly to myself "You need to buy chocolate because APPARENTLY you now have a chocolate habit"
Also I have spent most of my life around more animals than humans, the other week on a packed early morning bus I removed my rucksack from the seat beside me because an elderly lady was looking for a seat. I shouted to her then for some reason patted the seat next to me..as if she were a cat.

I got caught giving my boyfriend a blow job when I was 16 -by my mum. Absolutely horrific and I still feel sick thinking of it. She said nothing and shut the door, we never spoke a word about it.

You win.

I love this- at least you didn't stroke her!

I sing, a lot, about whatever I happen to be doing at the time. DP and DD are used to it, but I tend not to do it in front of anyone else.

Last summer I'm cooking with all the windows open, and belting out some absolute banger about needing a saucepan, for my beans, my lovely lovely beans. Beans are the best, and now I'm grating cheese, some lovely lovely cheese.

You get the picture.

I get to the big finish, and as I'm dishing up dinner I'm treated to a round of applause from next doors builders who I completely forgot were there.

The only possible way that I was ever going to be able.to look them in the eye was to own it, so I popped out the back and took a bow.

I ALWAYS talk to myself.. I put it down to growing up as an only child 😂 sometimes I was all I had. I’m the worst at work, so when we have to wear masks (work in healthcare) I love it, no one notices. Now that masks are off everyone notices and I’m always being asked who I’m talking too. I just laugh and say myself, sometimes they look at me like I’m insane and sometimes they say oh I do that too 😂

On vacation when I was 17 I got stuck in a glass shower, the door broke and the entire family I was staying with came in to try and get me out.

I once shouted at the cat to "get your furry arse in!" while standing at the front door.

A rather frightened looking dog walker skidded to a halt.

@Ranouts
It was 50 years ago so I can't remember the fallout, if any. We still had a few years of school left and I don't remember being great friends so I think we just cooled off. I went out with three old school friends earlier this week (to see Donny) and none of them are friends with her now so she can't have been much of a loss!
