TIFU by flashing my entire team

Submitted by BrettsSubconscious t3_10c5p2l in tifu

So I had a vaginal fungus, treatment is a pill up your vagina every night for a week. That thing dissolves and well, at random moments a lot of liquid comes back out.

One day I had a virtual team meeting with my 10 male coworkers plus 2 girls. I didn’t manage to start a washing machine before the meeting, so I thought I’d just do that in the first minutes of the meeting. All my teammates are already on the call, so I go into the virtual waiting room, make sure to turn my camera off, then briefly turn it on just to check my face and I join the call perfectly on time. Except I never turned the camera back off! Therefore my virtual background would show up without a face. People were probably getting curious and yes, they would not be disappointed.

Immediately I stand up and collect some laundry around my room. They’re talking about the weather. Meanwhile the liquid decides to drip out of me and without a care in the world, right in front of the computer I pull down my pants, wipe myself extensively, (to my shock even my sweatpants were affected) and then continue collecting laundry. I was not even aware of doing it, felt totally private lol. I hear a notification sound and the weather talk gets strangely silent. Because I’m semi-legally working from abroad, I suddenly fear that someone might ask me for the weather in my work city, so I run to the computer to check the weather over there. Checked it, back to the call, my camera is still off. All good I thought. Except in reality one of the guys had disabled my camera for me after what they saw, thank god.

Later I read the message that caused the notification: “careful on the camera” and with some more clues I slowly arrive at the conclusion of what had happened. It took me like 2 hours to fully comprehend it. Fuck. My. Life.

TL;DR Flashed my bottom half in virtual team meeting.

That's a 10 on the embarrassing scale right there.

I'm sorry you have to live with that.

What's worse is that if you have no honest explaination that would make it better.

"I'm sorry guys! I wasn't trying to be weird! It's just that a gush of liquid randomly spills out of my vagina due to a pill I have to stick in there so that I can cure a vaginal fungus!"

I would pass away if that happened to me. I think I'd have to quit.

That's embarrassing. Do you think you'll lose your job? I'm not sure how something like this works for women, but for men there's a really good chance of getting written up, possibly losing their job, and possibly have a sexual harassment charge that follows them forever.

Maybe they'll find a welcome home in the police if it does come to the worst.

Come on, who would report this. Even for a guy

I'm not saying I agree with it. Just saying it happens. Some people are very sensitive, and HR usually errs on the side of protecting the company... which means people get fired.

Don’t say anything unless brought into a meeting about it. At that point say “I didn’t mean to, I was unfortunately experiencing a symptom from a medical condition I have and I wasn’t aware anyone could see me. It won’t happen again” and hopefully that’s enough. You can also offer to give an apology to those who saw and take whatever sensitivity training the company wants you to.

Okay

I’m gonna assume at least 5 of your male coworkers were just gaming during the meeting and missed it,

I figure 2 women seeing…. isn’t too bad

And then one guy was nice enough to shut your camera off

So that just leaves 2

Those 2 have snipping tool pinned to their taskbar

Who needs it pinned when you regularly use the shortcut?

Each of them is able to take a screenshot within a second. Maybe I’m naive but I trust them to be decent enough not to do that. Also cause what the heck would anyone with such an image, it’s definitely not jerking off material xD

That’s brutal. Think all you can do is try to wait for the memories, theirs and yours to fade.

I was on a zoom webinar once and this woman had come out of the shower not realizing her camera was on and proceeded to drop her towel and a few of us on the webinar saw her completely naked. We then saw her put a bra on and dress and no one turned off her camera and I’m not sure if she ever realized what happened lol. But if it were me I would be mortified.

That’s a team building event if I ever heard of one! Get ready to be invited to more meetings

when i had zoom classes, this one guy left and went to the bathroom for awhile (maybe took a shower?) comes back out naked. like i completely fully saw his penis, and i can’t quite remember if i’m mixing up two separate situations i saw but he either 1) just walked confidently back to the couch or 2) i think he even crawled / ducked around his room getting back to the camera thinking no one could see.

but my point is.

everyone always goes “omg so you saw ____’s penis on zoom?! i want the full story! was it big?!”

and as shocked as i was, i literally can’t remember. i couldn’t tell anybody what his penis looks like. i can’t even remember if he crawled to the camera naked or if that was a different week where he was being weird clothed. i can’t remember. i just remember the fact that i saw a dude’s penis in my college class. so hopefully that makes you feel better? that even though it was shocking and i kept STARING because i couldn’t believe what i saw, it didn’t last in my brain more than a week. so, hopefully the people in your zoom will uh have terrible memory like me
