There are few things more awkward than accidentally walking in on someone at the exact wrong moment. Whether you're the one opening the door or the one desperately wishing it stayed closed, it's the kind of experience that takes just one time to know that you never want to experience that again.
Over on Reddit, people are sharing their most unforgettable "walking in on someone" stories, and let's just say...the secondhand embarrassment is almost unbearable. Here are some of the funniest and equally painful responses:
1. "My dad was going down on my mother. It traumatized me. I'm happy to report that this is now generational trauma as our son walked in on us doing the exact same thing. He proceeded to shout out to his friends: 'Gross, HE'S LICKING HER BUTT!' Now it's our son's responsibility to pass this trauma on to his children."
2. "I walked in on my father and his girlfriend once to tell them I made pancakes. Breakfast was awkward..."
3. "So, we didn't walk in on them, but my best friend's brother was smashing his old lady in the bathroom at the end of the hall, and we thought it would be funny to shoot a potato gun at the door and scare them. The potato went through the door and hit him in the back of the balls. A trip to the hospital later and we all have a funny story to tell LOL."
4. "My mum walked into my room while I was having a wank, a few seconds earlier and she would have got a c*m shot."
5. "I was at a gay bar for a pool league. It was about 7 p.m. so the place was virtually empty. Most of the pool players hadn't even arrived yet. I got a beer and was waiting for the other players when I needed to use the toilet. I walked into the men's room and the bar back is bent over with his pants down, adjusting his butt plug. I am certain that he has never gotten that thing back in his butt that quickly."
6. "Anytime I was chilling with a friend, my brother would bust open the door as a joke and yell 'WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE' and no matter what we were doing, he would act like he didn't believe us. It would be stuff like playing video games or whatever. This started around 12-years-old. Well by the time I was 16-years-old, I had a girlfriend over. No one was home when we started bumping uglies. My brother came home, busted open the door and yelled 'WHAT'S GOING ON IN — OHHHH F*** MY BAD' — that joke ended there."
7. "Years ago, my then girlfriend and I were going at it. Her 4-year-old son woke from a nap and walked in on us. He said: 'Why are you jumping on my mom with no clothes on?!'"
8. "When I was 7, I walked in on my brother and his girlfriend banging. I asked them if their bed broke cause I could hear it creaking and wanted to make sure they were okay since I fell out of my bed once and it really hurt. My brother still brings it up as a hilarious anecdote at Christmas."
9. "I went out with a friend of mine once to hang out with a bunch of guys. I got to another room with one to fool around. While he was going down on me, my friend had a bad reaction to some weed she was smoking with the other two guys and started having a panic attack. My friend AND the other two dudes came bursting in while I was naked with the dude's face between my legs, because she was afraid and they didn't know how to help her. The guy and I both jumped up and scrambled for clothes. It was VERY awkward being naked in front of three guys I didn't know, then immediately having to coach my friend through an episode. Crazy night."
10. I was at work and walked into one of the partner's offices while his secretary was giving him a blowjob. Their secret stayed safe. Definitely changed how the three of us dealt with each other, though."
11. "My daughter, 12 at the time, yelled loudly from her bedroom: 'Stop fucking.' We stopped..."
12. "I was probably early teens. The extended family was just over. Grandma called to say they had gotten home safely. So I go to my parents' room, open the door and yeah. I didn't make a peep and closed the door. They never knew I caught them. That image is seared inside my brain."
13. "My husband and I's most awkward 'walked in on someone' story is when our youngest teenage son walked in on us. My husband and I were in the garage and in the moment. Just as I was about to, well… go down, our son excitedly opened the door to tell us something. We were all frozen for a second while making eye contact then he screamed: 'I'm scarred, I'm scarred for life' while running back out the door!!! The moment was ruined, and my husband and I just looked at each other while he zipped his jeans. I refused to go in the house first and wouldn't look at either of them the rest of the day. We've only spoken about it one other time and laughed hysterically. I'm still mortified just retelling it."
14. "My wife one time suggested giving me a handy on a long road trip. I was driving a S10 pickup truck and worried people would see. She assured me that nobody would. I shit you not, 2 minutes into it and a semi pulled right up next to me. The guy in the passenger seat was wearing sunglasses. He looked down, started yelling and flipped his sunglasses up to look at my situation better."
