Looked up and realized a family a few tables over has just watched me slurp out of a half-empty customer's drink through a used straw.

Pregnancy denial is something so intriguing and an amazing effort from your brain and body to cover up the situation. I have seen some womens 8 months pregnant with absolutely no signs of it and look alike menstruations. As soon as we discovered the pregnancy they start to change and in a matter of days they got the big belly. Really crazy stuff that can happen to anyone (well any woman).

Sounds like you're talking about cryptic pregnancy. With cryptic pregnancies women show no signs of pregnancy and can continue to have 'periods' (not really periods but other types of bleeding that can easily be mistaken for a period.). It's not that their body is covering up the pregnancy, most of the time the body genuinely shows no outward signs of pregnancy and any symptoms that do occur are mistaken for something else. I know 4 women who had cryptic pregnancies and every one of them were different, 2 didn't have any idea until they literally gave birth, one found out a few hrs before the birth when she went to hospital with stomach pains, that she had put down to an IBS flair up. The 4th was 36 and already had 3 kids, she found out at 34 weeks and was stunned as it was so different to her other pregnancies where she'd found out very early on.

Ha! I got to do the same. I was suuuuper pregnant and went to the dollar store to get a couple of tests. I was a CPS social worker and one mom that I had been helping for a very long time to try and fix her situation so she could get her daughters back had a pregnancy scare. Turns out at that store they had them behind the registers, so I had to ask for them in front of a line of people. I offered no explanation and acted like everything was normal. Edit: *dollar store

Caught In The Act: 50 Hilarious “It’s Not What It Looks Like” Stories I worked on a low budget movie (that never got finished), for one scene we needed scenes from the crime, gory bloody pictures they would put up on the board in the police office. Dumb**s I worked with dropped them off at Walmart for printing and enlargement (back when that was a thing). He did not warn them.

When we went to pick them up he got pounced on by police and had much explaining to do. Also, same guy.... I had made two corpses from skeletons, using the old tissue paper and latex method, same genius just tosses them into the back of his pick up truck to take them to the set. Got pulled over for speeding. They pretty much were pulling him out of driver side window while was he screaming "they aren't real people!" over and over again. When they finally touched one and realized it plastic they let him go while ticketing him for every thing they could because they were pissed. Personally I was thrilled my work was taken so well.

Years ago my team did a cabling job to add some registers to the garden center in a Walmart. This kind of work is done overnight because there are much less customers in the store. There were cables in the conduit already but plenty of room for two more, but we were outta of clearglide, wire pulling lubricant, so we grabbed some KY from health and beauty.

We would often grab things at night, drinks, hardware, whatever and keep the packages to pay for it before we left in the morning.

That morning 4 guys went through the checkout line with 6 empty energy drinks, a couple of snacks, and an empty bottle of KY, which we informed the cashier was empty because we used it in the garden center the previous night!

Caught In The Act: 50 Hilarious “It’s Not What It Looks Like” Stories A long while ago now, I was walking home from a friend's house. We had been smoking and drinking, so I was a little out of it.

It was around 1am and I was almost home, when I saw this little old lady doubled over and struggling to walk. I asked her if she was okay and if she needed help. She said she was fine, but asked if I could help her home as she didn't live too far away. So I gave her my arm for her to support herself and off we went.

Her home wasn't that far, but it was slow going. At this point, I had already decided that I was going to ring an ambulance for her, but thought I'd get her home first.

When we eventually made it to her home, she took her key and opened her door... Only to collapse into her house and pass out... And then the house alarm went off... And then her neighbours appeared. Luckily, the neighbours believed me and the old lady managed to get some medical attention.

Caught In The Act: 50 Hilarious “It’s Not What It Looks Like” Stories When I was 16 I met a girl on Myspace that lived in Canada, which happened to be a short drive from where I lived in the U.S., so we planned a meet-up in Windsor, just across the border from me. I had never crossed the border by myself and was fairly new to driving solo. When I got to the border, I accidentally pulled into one of the express lanes and just drove to the toll booth ahead, thinking I would just explain that I had messed up and chose the wrong lane, whoops no big deal, I'll just pay and be on my way.

Well no, they thought it was suspicious so they asked me to pull into an open hangar nearby and sent some officers to check out my car. When they approached and asked me to pop the trunk, I just did it because I was s******g my pants. My parents did not know where I was and I was so scared of getting in trouble with border patrol.

So right after I pop the trunk they call more officers over. I am asked to step out and put in hand cuffs, and then the questioning starts. Who am I and where am I going? Who is the girl and how do I know her? At this point I'm terrified. They all went from pretty chill to very serious in a matter of minutes. Then one of them reaches into the trunk and pulls out a sword and it HITS me.

A week earlier I had been filming a video for one of my classes with my friends and it was a war scene from a book. We had amassed all of our medieval mall ninja weapons for the video and in the end, the weapons all ended up in my trunk and I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THEM. I'm talking swords, axes, flails, bludgeons, bardiches, nunchucks, EVERYTHING. For the next 2-3 hours I was questioned while they picked my car apart.

In the end I think the only reason they let me go is because I also had a giant bag of Magic: the Gathering cards in my backseat and after explaining the game to them they realized I had no life and was probably too nerdy to be any real threat. I also had a single rose for her on the passenger seat (I know, I am so suave) so I think they could see I didn't have bad intentions..

They let me through, I met up with the girl, and we made out on a play structure for like 4 hours. Drove home that night and never told my parents. Ah, to be young again.

I fell asleep in the middle of the third one, had a hot dream and woke up to my own orgasm while he sat on the other end of the couch sporting an erection, but with both hands up, and looking equal parts terrified and horny.

I was beyond mortified. He was like “I-I didn’t know what to do-“

I had actually been dreaming about him and didn’t know if I’d said his name or not.

I got the f**k out of there.

I have never been so f*****g mortified in my life. But, after a lot of him pushing and me being embarrassed, we ended up dating. Been together about a year now.

We all went to bed - after about twenty minutes, the bed we were in collapsed, making a terrible clatter.

Instantly, the whole house erupted in cheers and laughter.

Reality: bed was very rickety, no one had actually slept in it for a long time, and we were just peacefully resting in the bed when it just collapsed. But of course, everyone assumed we were screwing up a storm and literally “broke the bed”.

Caught In The Act: 50 Hilarious “It’s Not What It Looks Like” Stories Back in seventh grade, when I was at peak "awkward teen boy" there came a day in gym where we were set to play volleyball. The only problem was that when we got to the gym the coach realized she'd forgotten the volleyballs, but no problem, because they were just sitting in the storage room...in the girl's locker room, and she decided to send me, a boy, to go get them. She assured me that I would not get in trouble if I was caught but even still I was about as not-at-all thrilled over being given this job as I possibly could be, because I was sure that if any girl saw me in there she would tell the rest of the school that I was a pervert sneaking into the girl's locker room.

Well halfway through the mission my worst nightmare came true and I turned a corner to confront two girls who were heading back into the locker room. They stared at me, I stared at them. I started panicking and in my discombobulation I decided the best possible thing to do at that moment would be to tell these two girls that I'm not a pervert (because obviously that would have cleared everything up) but I was so flustered that what came out instead was "I'm not gay," and then I really smoothed things over by running away.

Surprisingly the fallout for this wasn't too bad. I got made fun of a bit for it but people had pretty much moved on by the next day. Not me though. Twenty-seven years later this still haunts me.

When I was 5, someone had gotten into my uncle's blue spray paint sitting on his porch and they had sprayed some of it on the porch. He lined up me and my brothers and checked our hands for any blue and saw blue all over *my* hands.

I frantically tried to explain as a five year old that it was from coloring markers from earlier at school but he had none of it and marched me to my mother to 'expose me'. My mom took a look at my hands and easily identified the difference between blue markers and spray paint and called my uncle an idiot.

It was actually my middle brother but he was wearing gloves so there was no transfer on his hands. I wasn't going to be a snitch to that idiot uncle though.

I do general repairs as a side gig. I offered to help a friend fix his sink one day. So I park my work van on the street outside his house and start organizing tools to bring into the house. Suddenly I look up and I see his 3 year old daughter has somehow wondered out of the house and is walking in the middle of the road. Yikes. So I quick run after her, grab her off the road.

However, I couldn't bring her into the house just yet because my van was still completely open, with tools strewn about. So I had to put her in my van while I finished organizing.

To anyone one else, it probably looked like I kidnapped a girl into my van.

Caught In The Act: 50 Hilarious “It’s Not What It Looks Like” Stories A was a student athlete in HS and our athletic trainer was an attractive 24 year old girl. I had a hip injury that required an ace wrap around my hip joint.

One day, she was wrapping my hip before practice in a side-office of a bigger training room and two other athletes opened the door that we forgot to lock. What they saw was the back of me, with my pants down, and the trainer in front of me, on her knees, with her head in my crotch area, and her hand reaching back grabbing my butt. Her hand was only there for a brief sec while she supported herself. But teenage boys only need to see that image for a fraction of a second for them to imagine something else.

In case you’re wondering, this side-office was always used for more personal treatment like my hip injury. Girls would be taken in there if they had to remove clothing for example. The bigger training room was always busy and it had a doorway that was always open so we didn’t want passing teachers/other students/parents/visitors getting a sneaky look at teens in their underwear getting injury treatment.

I shared a two bedroom apartment with a friend of mine. We worked opposite schedules so I was home when he was at work. He had moved his new girlfriend in with us and we got along great. It was almost as if I had two best friends. One morning she woke me up asking if I wanted to eat ice cream and watch some horror movies. We were sitting in my bed watching one of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies and I nod off for just a second before snapping awake. When I did that I knocked over a bowl of ice cream. Instantly as most people would I started making all sorts of noise due to the freezing sensation I had on my crotch. I was grabbing napkins and trying to clean myself up and she already had some paper towels scrubbing the mattress. At this exact time a friend of ours had stopped by thinking we were asleep so he was in our living room. He heard the commotion and walked into my room to see me spread eagle moving my hand at a rapid pace and her just below me. He screamed that he saw nothing and didn't want to be the one to tell our friend that something was going on. We have never let him live it down.

When I was a teen I went on a road trip about 6 hours away to meet some friends. I brought a female friend with me cause it sounded fun.

We arrive to the mutual friends house and they show us our room with a single bed. I was mortified and as soon as they left us alone I told the girl that this wasnt "my plan" and I'll see if I can find a couch or something. Thankfully she was cool with non-sexually sharing a bed.

I awake in the middle of the night with a pretty severe asthma attack. My inhaler is on the nightstand on the other side of her. The rest of the room is covered in various boxes making a walk around the bed time consuming and dangerous, so I get a bit closer and reach over her, *carefully*, to grab the inhaler.

My hands are shaky and I knock it to the floor. I realize I have to climb over her to grab it. I sit up, throw one leg over and reach down, grabbing my inhaler and taking it.

I smile in relief, look down, and I've woken her up. In the middle of the night by straddling her. She just closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Mines a "Not what it sounds like" story.

I (m) worked in heavy industry and was taking college classes at night with a (m) supervisor from another competitor company. We teamed up as lab partners. Just to put the context of this story in place, consider the time period was the late 90's

Had a salesman come in and while talking he mentioned the other company and I asked him if he knew my lab partner by his name. When he said yes I said "He's my lab partner!" He gave me a weird look and wandered off and talked to a couple of other staff members before leaving.

After leaving the other workers were laughing as the salesman told them he didn't know I was gay. Evidently he heard lab, as life.

Always wonder if he thought that about my lab partner when he went to the other company.

Caught In The Act: 50 Hilarious “It’s Not What It Looks Like” Stories I worked in a supermarket when I was younger and my boss found me one day lying on my stomach in the aisle with my arm fully outstretched holding a large jar of pickles.

This was long before planking but he still thought was something being done “for the lolz” and started chewing me out before a customer intervened and explained the situation. The fact of the matter was I was walking down the aisle when out of nowhere the jar just slipped off the shelf and I dove and caught it.

That lady saved my a*s that day and the clerk who was ringing her up got our secret signal which meant many items were “accidentally” not scanned.

In the 80’s When I was a teen I was partying with neighbor friends in their back yard and forgot my bong their backyard.

In order to retrieve it I needed to run a covert operation like navy seal team six later that night.

The big sister saw me slinking around under the cover of night and accused me of being a peeping Tom.

Good luck trying to explain that one. But I did successfully retrieve the bong which kept my friend from getting busted so at least there was that.

Caught In The Act: 50 Hilarious “It’s Not What It Looks Like” Stories Sister went to the bathroom and I hid under her bed to scare her when she came back in. She came back in only wearing a towel. Turns out she was trying on clothes or something. I yelled loudly "hey! I'm hiding under your bed and I'm coming out with my eyes closed!" At first I thought to stay put and sneak out later, but figured that would seem way worse when she sees me come out of her room and is like wtf?

Tldr: innocent scare prank turned into creepy peeping Tom situation.

In college, I used to work overnights at a gas station. I would regularly bring in cash from home and exchange for larger or smaller bills from the register as necessary. One night, a co-worker decided to steal some cash from the register and there I was, on camera, clearly doing the same and, less clearly, exchanging the bills. When the manager brought me in the next day and showed me the footage I couldn’t even say anything. I was just glad the guilty party got fired and it wasn’t just me.

High school in the bathroom, I'm at the urinal and I need to spit. I'm not a spitter, so it must have been like a cold or bad allergies or something. I lean a little closer in and spit and it catches a little, just hangs out for a second before it drops in the urinal. So while I'm leaned in this random dude walks in and immediately declares 'He's staring at his d**k!'.

Being super awkward in high school, I just bugged out immediately and have thought about it constantly to this day. Thanks, random dude.

Found my then girlfriend’s panties in the laundry at my house and packed em in my book bag to give back to her. Brought them with me next time I visited and of course they weren’t hers. Thing is I didn’t cheat and they definitely didn’t fit anyone else I would’ve “known” in recent memory (we weren’t exclusive more than a couple weeks at that point). She kinda just hit me with a palm face and an eye roll and we never talked about it again /laughed it off in the moment. I still don’t know where those damn underwear came from or if they were planted or what.

Was in the bathroom naked waiting for the shower water to heat up. The boys started to itch so I gave them a scratch. Then I heard the door open behind me and quickly close. I bet it looked pretty incriminating. I didn't see who it was but I know exactly which family member of mine would be clueless enough to see a closed bathroom door with the shower running and think "oh it must be empty". I didn't bother trying to explain what they saw as I knew they'd never believe me.

I had just got back to my college dorm from work where I had spilled quite a bit of lemonade on myself, and I checked in my gf when I got back. When we got in my room, she dropped something (I think maybe her chapstick, but can’t remember) behind my mini fridge and was bent over to try and find it. I was taking my lemonade soaked pants off and was planning to change into something clean when my brother (who was my roommate at the time) walked in. He still makes jokes about that from time to time.

My whole family was once staying in a hotel together, but as we were coming from different places we checked in at different times. After they gave me my key I went to the room and opened the door. Only to find my brother and his girlfriend in a state of undress. They were actually just changing after coming back from the swimming pool. but I didn't stick around long enough to discuss that at the moment. Apparently the front desk mixed up the keys and gave me the wrong one. At least I didn't walk in on a stranger! Although I'm not sure which one is more awkward. :)

Used to have a bait tiktok account I used to troll my local football team. Got bored and deleted tiktok from my phone. Fast forward and my gf records a video of me on her tiktok that went semi viral. Reinstall tiktok to have a look at the comments. Later that day she links me to a video which I open. It’s a private video she only sent to me. Watch it and realise I’m still signed in as my fake bait account. Delete the bait account and think nothing of it. GF sees that the only person who has seen the video she sent is some random a*s account on tiktok (my trolling alt) and accuses me of having an alt account to talk to girls on tiktok. Can’t prove it was all trolling because I deleted it.

Hi there, fellow pandas! As a person (over)educated both in social sciences and literature, I'm most interested in how we connect and behave online (and sometimes in real life too.) The human experience is weird, so I try my best to put its peculiarities in writing. As a person who grew up chronically online, I now try to marry two sides of myself: the one who knows too much about MySpace, and the one who can't settle and needs to see every corner of the world.

When I was about 12 I mentioned to my cousin that I remembered her parents getting married after their divorce. (They were only divorced for a year before getting back together.) She was shocked as they'd never told her. I said, "Well, ask them!" Her mother was FURIOUS! "How dare you tell my child my business!" (The child was at their second wedding; I stupidly assumed she could remember it even though she was only about 3.) So about 15 years later I'm sitting with my male cousin (her younger brother, born after the remarriage) and we're talking about stupid things we did. I go, "Like that time I told your sister about your parents getting divorced and remarried." "WHAT?!!" THEY HADN'T TOLD HIM EITHER! I begged him not to tell my aunt because she'd kill me. So we said we'd been looking at photo albums and there were pics of his parents' second wedding. This is why people say not to keep that kind of secret from your children: some relative will tell them about it. Sorry, you guys.

Many years ago, I was babysitting a friend’s six month old baby and I took him out to run errands. Earlier that day, I’d had an eye exam and they’d dilated my pupils as part of it, which wasn’t an issue because I was wearing sunglasses to account for that. When shopping, I grabbed a bottle of wine to take to a dinner party. It was only when I went to pay and had to take off my sunglasses to do so that I realized I had hugely dilated pupils, a baby, and a bottle of wine and what that must look like.

My BF at the time wanted to surprise me with a large, surprisingly realistic stuffed tiger. He lived a couple of hours away, so he plopped the thing in his back seat and positioned it so it had its head out the window "looking" at passersby. Cop pulled him over and approached with--according to BF--his gun drawn. BF is a large dude and looks kinda scary. The cop saw the stuffed tiger and thought it was real. Cop was pissed but couldn't think of anything to ticket for. BF stuffed the tiger into his trunk for the rest of the ride.

My group ended up with a scene where some guys are drinking beer and talking. So, when my parents had their evening beer I saved the bottles and brought them in the next day to use as props. First period I had the bottles sitting in front of me on the desk so they wouldn't get broken rattling around in my schoolbag. And then I got the hiccups.

When I played in a rugby team, our coach and his girlfriend (who was on my team) were dealing with some rough things in their lives, so the team decided to pitch in and gift them a coupon-thing to a wellness center. I was looking up spas in the area and came across the website of one that had a huge photo of a man holding his groin while wearing steam-soaked white boxers as a background, and there I sat staring at it for a good minute wondering why a spa would choose such an erotic picture as their website background. Turns out it was a certain type of spa. Decided to not book that one ;)

1. My 4 (F) child discovered google voice to text. She was happily looking up toys in search. Looked up at me for a second while my friends were over and asked google to help her find some "adult toys". She asked me what kind of toy I wanted. Obviously not the kind a four year old should be looking at! We all still laugh about that one. 2. When my 14 (F) child wanted a free kitten we asked the lady if she could tell which sex they were. She said she didn't know. She then googled "How to s$x a kitten". She didn't get the search results she wanted lol
