AIBU to shrivel up and die of embarrassment?

[redbusbeepbeep]

I am quite honestly never going to get over this. It was my birthday yesterday and as my partner works away he arranged for something to be sent to the house, along with flowers and a helium balloon.

A few weeks ago we had a leak from the bathroom, pretty bad, leaking down the walls and through our light sockets. The plumber came and fixed the leak, however 2 days later it’s leaking again, no where near as bad luckily as we caught it in time. He comes again and haven’t had an issue since.

Today I’m sat having a coffee and I notice a patch around the same area. Furious I phone the plumber to tell him the problem STILL isn’t sorted and he needs to come back as soon as possible, as I’m meeting friends in another city at lunch time and I wouldn’t dare leave it like that.

Plumber comes, it’s not a fucking leak, it’s the shadow from the helium balloon.

He was asking if she could get the car to make the same noise again.

I had a dreadful panic as I opened my roof hatch and could see DAYLIGHT through the roof.

Long story short... It was actually light reflecting off the landing window.

Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!😂😂

I thought we’d had a leak from the roof, not long after we’d had the Velux windows resealed properly where there was a leak.
Turns out the wet marks on the low ceiling came from me throwing my freshly washed hair back into a towel and hit had hit the ceiling beam.
Just as well I did think to make small pencil marks around it which showed it vanishing before I actually found the roofer’s phone number…

🤣🤣🤣
This reminds me of my dad, then aged 75, who would sometimes stop at a very nice picnic area for a quick drink of coffee out of his flask, on his way to visit me. One morning at around 10.30 at said picnic spot, he was having a nice rest & a coffee when another elderly gentleman strolled over to him. The conversation went a bit like this:
Man: good morning
Dad: good morning
Man: do you, you know, come here often then?
Dad: well, occasionally, I'm just on my way to see my daughter so thought I'd stop for a quick break
Man: are you looking for a bit of fun?
Dad: well I'm just....(the penny dropped & he couldn't get away fast enough!)
Apparently it's a well known spot for a bit of "dogging". I just didn't think that sort of thing happened at 10.30 in the morning! 🤣

I once very nearly called out an electrician in a panic because all our sockets lost power and my work computer and router turned off. I had the presence of mind to go and look at the fuse box first, and found our wonderful old dog reversing out of the understairs cupboard, trying to pull out a bag of his old toys that he'd discovered in there, which he had somehow managed to get caught on the fuse for the plug sockets.

Omg, I hope there were no others lurking! I'd never heard of dogging all those years ago, maybe it wasn't a thing then 🤣🤣🤣

@ConnieHeart and it's also just occurred to me - thank the lord that phone cameras & social media did not exist then! Now I want to curl up & die....

Many years ago, got a letter back from my local council about my uni grant with a letter saying " thank you, but we don't require photographic identification for your application, with a semi nude photo of me paperclipped to it!!

Later worked out I must have sent the application off to them in an envelope I was using to store some photos my boyfriend had taken and not checked inside 😭

We called our landlord out because the fridge wasn't working...we hadn't switched on the big red switch on the wall for it...
As if that wasn't enough we did the exact same thing at our next house

Same landlord came to sort a blocked sink and immediately pulled one of my 3 year olds toys out from the plughole

YANBU… I’m crying with laughter x

I once ordered some bits from temu

For some reason I didn't get an email but that's happened before and the goods showed up,so I wasnt too worried

Days led into more days and no sign so I sent a snotty email and they answered saying they had no record of my order

I sent another snotty email and was waiting for a reply when the door went and there was my parcel

I'd ordered from temu and sent my snotty emails to aliexpress
