Save me while I die of embarrassment.

[Teenprobs]

Been away for a weekend. Got back late Sunday evening. Had a burglary while we were away so dealth with that all day monday and also, was unwell Monday from all the travelling, and then last night DP ended up in A and E with horrendous tooth pain, so my planned I must clean up day that was this morning, but i was awake literally the entire night so opted to sleep for the morning instead,

so british gas have turned up for their engineer appointment this pm despite cancelling it this morning. The house is a shit hole. I've washed up and Wipes sides but the cupboard of doom was full up and there's washing everywhere and theres crap from the car.

So I want to die of embarrassment. Tell me your stories.

My cat once shat in my wardrobe after I locked him in my room accidently! No buyers though thankfully!

Oh, I have a good one! Shortly after I moved into my new house in what I felt was a rather posh neighbourhood, a very windy night knocked my wheelie bin over on bin day. The black bags were everywhere, and one had split and spread its load all down the pavement (conveniently located on the school run) and in my new neighbours' front gardens. It just so happened to be the bathroom bin, replete with used cotton buds, tissues, sanitary items and condoms. And while I was ferreting around in the mud desperately retrieving the detritus and bodily fluids, my new NDN walked past to take her kids to school.

This is such a cat thing to do. Love it!

Gas man arrived. House mate dealt with him and when he needed to see all the appliances was shown round. Came into my room. I was in bed with two friends who’d stayed over and jumped into bed with me in the morning to go over the previous nights events. Poor bloke didn’t know where to look.

I came on to tell you off for being so bothered about it when you have had such a shit few days, but I’m too busy laughing at these tales - they’re brilliant and hope they’re cheering you up OP.

I do recall once that when I was living in a student house share, I had one particularly untidy housemate who left her bedroom in a state of horror all the time - her bedroom was downstairs in what would ordinarily be the house’s main living room.

Other housemate’s parents gave her a lift home from a visit one time and she nipped straight to the shop to buy milk while parents made themselves at home in house - the dad walked into the living room, took one look at untidy housemate’s room of horror and assumed there had been a break-in and burglars had ransacked the house so went off to call the police - fortunately, his daughter came back and was able to stop him.

Many years ago when I was still living with my parents...

There was a huge family party at my aunts house. Mum and DB left early to help her set up.
Me, roughly 14 at the time, and dad left later after making roughly a billion sandwiches and other food items for the party.
Our front door sticks so you have to bang it shut. Dad's stressing as we're running late so dispatches me to the car then joins me.
At party everything going brilliantly.

Mum get a call from a neighbour.
"You've been burgled"
We get home to find the front door wide open.
The sticky door hadn't been banged properly when me and dad left laden with food.
Neighbour had stuck head in and seeing the mess we'd left the (open plan) kitchen and downstairs area in has decided the house had been ransacked!

Telling the police "Nope not burgled just left the house in this state" was probably the most embarrassing moment of my parents lives.

I have a few unfortunately.

We were trying to sell our last house but found we had rats in the garden, got a bizarrely handsome rat catcher in to lay poison, all good.

Someone came to view the house and as they wandered through the kitchen I noticed a drunk rat staggering accrued the patio. DH whipped outside and put a flower pot over it but it somehow managed to move it so he had to stand awkwardly with one foot on it like a catalogue model until they went back indoors. (Handsome pest controller assured us all rats were gone before we sold up).

Different couple came for a second viewing and I was home with the small DCs. DD was about 5 and had said she was feeling a bit sick so I gave her a bucket and hoped for the best.

As the couple stood in the kitchen DD threw up massively over the side of the sofa, missing the bucket completely. I tried to casually wave them upstairs to have a look around while I alternated cuddling DD and frantically scooping up the sick.

It ended up spreading under the sofa and I had to tip it up to scrape it off and scrub the base.

More recently I moved the wooden tv stand in the little lounge/ DHs office to get the Xbox for DS. As I moved it I got a whiff of something sweet and found a dead mouse. It couldn't have been too old really but it was squishy when I picked it up. We do have cats, we're not just generally rodent infested.

The discovery and resultant hysterics from me and DS had the be conducted in whispers as DH was on a call but they must have been able to see our pixelated shapes flapping around behind him. Luckily they were all too polite to mention it.

Not as funny as these but I’ll never forget feeling quite so mortified as when I opened the door to let a meter reader in and his said “stinks in here”.

It wasn’t even my house. I was feeding the cats for a friend who was away on holiday. They weren’t the cleanest people tbh and the house being shut up didn’t help. Nor did the dead rat I found by the cat flap when I arrived. I had been fighting down the urge to puke and put it in a bag when “stinks in here” man rang the doorbell.

Explaining seemed completely futile so I let my accuser do his thing and make his escape. I still feel the shame and injustice when I think about it!

I thought of a worse one!

DD had just started reception and we invited her new friend and her mom over for their first play date. I had done a big tidy and clean to make a good impression but hadn't factored in DS being half naked due to potty training.

As we walked back into the previously sparkling conservatory there was a truly enormous turn in the middle of the floor! I casually scooped it up and disinfected the floor but it it proved quite the talking point.

It got worse later on when he stood to have a good stare at her and peed on her leg. Luckily she took it very well and found it hilarious. It definitely broke the ice.

😂😂😂😂

My mum once had a gas engineer in to look at her boiler, which was off the bathroom. She hadn't had much time to tidy up, and said "sorry about the mess up there". After he'd left, she discovered that the cat had shat in the bath. He must have thought she was apologising about the turd. That was a few years ago now and she still hasn't recovered from the embarrassment 😂

Honestly, don't worry OP. They've seen it all 😂

But what else was he supposed to do if he needed to go?

I'm fairly sure I've told this story on here before.

We were having a food shopping delivery and it was pre-pandemic so the very nice young man from Ocado was allowed to bring the shopping in to the kitchen, which I asked him to do.

As he walked in a bag or his leg brushed again the towering laundry basket I had left in front of the washing machine, ready to put some laundry on later.

A pair of my giant white unwashed Sloggis fell off the top of the pile and he obviously instinctively thought ooh no, I've knocked something of the customer's on the floor, I'd better pick it up.

So there was an awkward moment where I looked at him and he looked at me and he realised exactly what he was holding in his hand and dropped them pretty quickly back on the basket. Poor guy .

My DD once threw up in someone else's house that we were viewing!

Last Christmas my dp asked if I'd order some bits from ebay for his dds
I did and forgot all about the order

Fast forward a week-hed gone out to his mates place and was due back about 9pm
While he was gone,I started to feel a bit,well,frisky,so got changed into a sexy outfit ready for his return
Doorbell went about 9pm so I got up,opened the door and (without looking up to check) said 'fancy some then lover Boy?' And THEN I looked up
Only to see the ervi guy chuching the parcels dp had got me to order him

I still can't look that guy in the face...

Cat poo one. Had some decorator round and gave him a key to let himself out . He did however I got home to realise I’d not got a key to get into the house 🙄
Went to my neighbours house who said her husband would get in through my sons open bedroom window. He shimmied up, opened the window, went through and let us in 🥳

Except I then went upstairs to find the cat had pooed on the bed. Mortified. Around 20 years ago and still blush 🤣

I'm not blaming him lol

I’m a childminder and was having some parents over to meet me & have a look around as they were looking for childcare for their new baby.
i had cleaned & tidied and taken in the washing from the line so they could see the lovely child friendly garden.
Couple arrives, really lovely people. Im showing them around. I bring them out to the garden to show them & there on the line is a single bra swinging in the wind. Not even a nice one. A battered slightly greying, used to be white, one.
i was mortified. It was literally right in the middle of the garden. I have no idea how I missed it but there was no way they missed it 😬😂

We had the opposite of a couple of pps. Many years ago, my now Dh and I were living together and my parents had moved to close by and often popped in to do a bit of gardening to help us while we were out at work. We came back to find the place had been burgled and trashed with everything everywhere. Phoned my parents who said they hadn’t realised we’d been burgled and just thought we’d had a massive argument and trashed the house ourselves so hadn’t called the police. We had never done anything remotely like this ever though we were quite untidy as had been students not so long before, so no idea why they thought this. Still makes us laugh

Brilliant!!!! Haha

@resuwen oh my, what did you do?

We were viewing houses when DS was a toddler and he once managed to take the lid off a laundry basket and grabbed a lacy pair of knickers which he proudly held aloft.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Oh no! I'm just picturing that delivery driver clutching his parcels in absolute bewilderment!

There was a fire in my shared flat as a 1st year student
The insurance men had to list the contents of the flat and I went to go and stay with my parents, where said list arrived for me to check.
My dad read the list first, which among all my normal stuff included in lovely formal detail
6 condoms (banana flavoured)
4 condoms (bubblegum flavored)
1 tube of lubricant
1 pair handcuffs (red)

The idea of some random man counting the condoms out on my bedside table made me want to melt with embarrassment.
And I had not told my parents about the boyfriend so fun and embarrassing all round really.

I had a random power cut and needed an electrician... house was an absolute shit show from top to bottom...I was MORTIFIED but the sparky was absolutely lush!
