I am going to die of embarrassment

(Anonymous) 2024-04-19 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
So I'm staying with my parents for awhile for a combination of different reasons, all of which are boring and unimportant. My dad is not going to be mentioned in this story for reasons that will probably become apparent by the end, but he lives here, too. Anyway, my mom (who should've been an interior decorator, she's really good at it) fixed up the guest room for me to stay in. It looks great, I have my own bathroom, things have worked out well so far and should be fine for however long I end up staying here. There's a big closet where a bunch of my mom's stuff is stored, but she's made it clear that it's my space while I'm here and she won't go into the room while I'm not here. I still usually make an effort to keep certain things hidden away that I wouldn't want her to see if by some chance she did have to come in when I wasn't here.

Until now. I for some reason left a couple sex toys out to dry after cleaning them, and didn't even really think about it before leaving the house. Then found out later that there was something she needed from the closet that was time-sensitive and she wasn't sure when I'd be back, so she went in and got it. I apologized for the room "being messy" just to see what she'd say, and she said she didn't notice because she was in such a hurry that she just went straight to the closet and got what she needed and left. My toys were in somewhat of an out of the way area behind some other stuff so if she really did just go straight to the closet and leave, she wouldn't have noticed, so it's possible she didn't actually see them, but just the idea that she COULD have is freaking me out.

Even if she did see them, she's super open about sexuality and has mentioned before that she has toys of her own, so it's not like she'd disown me or probably even judge me too much, but still. I can't help feeling super embarrassed.

Anyone else have any similar stories?

Not personally, but I have a friend that is a nanny and one day when she went up to strip the beds and on the teenager's bed was a dildo. She (my friends) was mortified and texted asking what to do. She didn't want to shame or embarrass the kid but damn. I told her if the kid is old enough to be buying (and using) sex toys then she is old enough to clean her own laundry lol

Nothing wrong with having toys, she likely didn't notice or if she did quickly moved on... It sounds like she's respectful of your privacy overall.

A college friend once accidentally left an anal vibrator in the shared frat house shower, I was so confused about what it was at first when I was showering and when I realized I was mortified!

I have something if you want a point of comparison for how it could have been a LOT worse.

In college, my roommate got a sex toy in the mail (I know this is where most people would say "You can just say it was you!" but no seriously, I'm anon, it really was my roommate, we're still good friends which is how I know the full story) shipped in the customary generic plain box for privacy as sex toys usually are and when she was bringing it back from the post office, she set the UNOPENED box down in the dorm kitchen for a few minutes to do other stuff on that floor. In that period of time, someone else came into the kitchen, saw the box, got "curious" and opened it, freaked out when she saw what it was and went crying to the RA about it. She didn't tell the RA that she was the one who opened the box herself, she let the RA think my roommate had left a sex toy out in the open and my roommate got a lecture. I guess it's lucky it was just a lecture, but the same girl who opened the box let word spread around the dorm.

Ugh, that girl who opened the box is the worst kind of person.

Wait, this girl TAMPERED WITH MAIL and your roommate got in trouble? In some countries, the amount of trouble you could get in for opening someone else's mail is nothing to sneeze at.

Opening someone elses mail is a felony here in the United States, you can literally get up to five years prison time for doing that.

DA
The USPS feds are no joke. They're the only cops I respect. (Though my wife and I often make jokes that we're hardened criminals when opening each other's mail.)

That is adorable. I am now jealous of your relationship.

Yes, she could have gotten in trouble, if there had been any proof other than my roommate's word that my roommate hadn't opened the box first.

Kind of minor, but my superintendent had to do some work in my apartment while I was out and moved my bedside table to access the ceiling. I know for sure that he saw my whole collection of sex toys because that drawer always opens all the way by itself when you move the nightstand.

Haven’t seen him in person since. Trying to remind myself that it can’t be the first time he’s seen something like that in a tenant’s apartment.

I am certain he's seen much worse things in a tenant's apartment.

Hoarders has informed me that some people pee in jars.

Nah, it's more embarrassing how westerners need to start apologizing about living with their own family

Re: I am going to die of embarrassment

(Anonymous) 2024-04-20 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
Where is the OP of this story apologizing???

But even if they had, this is an unhelpful non-sequitur.

They are starting their long story with a lot of unnecessary information. "I have my reasons." Yeah, cool, Alexandre, you are not getting payed for words.
But to be fair I am really being unnecessary antagonistic, I apologize

(Anonymous) 2024-04-20 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't see where they apologized but even if they had, "westerners" are allowed to have a different culture/customs/norms than wherever the fuck you're from.

Weird that OP started this thread because earlier today my brain decided to remind me of some of my most embarrassing moments.
On two separate occasions my siblings walked in on me jacking off. First time I was a teen and my elder sister was still not into respecting people's spaces and she opened the door to my room while I was in the middle of self love.

A few years later it was my older brother.

Also, more than once through the years, I've accidentally left sex toys out in my room and people walked in and likely saw them.

I've made peace that I have my own sex life and of course I don't want to talk to people about it or have people know about it, but it's human nature and everyone has their story/journey (I'm Aroace but I masturbate quite a bit, not as much as when I was young but I have a routine need to get off that I understand is a tension relief after working on my own unique struggles with sex and shame that came from the environment I was raised in).
