This is actually a chilling story. You were right to tell her she would get hurt if she didn't pull her act together. Whether due to mental illness or intoxication or both, she was at such huge risk for being assaulted. |
Uh, was this your boss or your husband? |
| My college boyfriend and I were getting busy in our hotel room when some man used a key card to walk right in! He yelled “I’m sorry!“ And slammed the door. We called the front desk and they said they accidentally face the wrong key put, and then had the audacity to say we should’ve had the chain on the door! But we were college kids so didn’t do anything… if it happened now I would’ve demanded some sort of Credit. |
Neither. Not an affair partner either. I guess "boyfriend" in DCUM language. Exclusive relationship. He was his own boss and it was just him and his assistant around his office. |
I love the wisdom we gain as we get older...! |

It happened about five years ago when DH and I were recent empty nesters with our youngest being a freshman in college.
Early one Saturday morning after some (very loud) sex, I went down to the kitchen in the nude to get some ice water. On my way back up I heard the bathroom door down the hallway open. Not only did that startle and confuse me because there wasn’t supposed to be anybody else in the house, but out came DS19 still in a sleepy fog…and also completely nude. I screamed, he let out an expletive or two, and we both disappeared into our rooms until getting up the nerve to face each other at breakfast. It turns out he had decided to come home that weekend and pay us a surprise visit. After arriving in the middle of the night, he went to bed and then woke up to go to the bathroom assuming the coast was clear since nobody would be awake that early. Just. Really. Bad. Timing. But we can both at least laugh about it now. DH thought it was hilarious from the beginning. |
This same basic thing happened to a couple girlfriends of mine while studying abroad in Italy in college, except that it didn’t involve anything sexual. They were each just sleeping naked in their own beds on opposite sides of the room around midnight when the door loudly opened and it turned out to be an older couple who were supposed to be in the room next door but were given the wrong key at the front desk. It’s actually terrifying to think what could have happened had it been some predator who got the wrong key and walked in on two vulnerable 20-year-old women. |
This is DH's fear, that our young adult (just out of college) kid will hear us/catch one of us walking around on a similar surprise visit! Being empty nesters is the best, though, when it comes to parents' love lives! |
Oh, without a doubt. We’re almost like newlyweds again! And the odds of you running into your young adult kid when BOTH parties are strutting their full glory as happened in my case is probably slim to none. In a way that actually made it easier to get over, though - collateral that ensured neither of us could give the other one too hard a time for walking around naked in the wee hours of the morning. 😂 |

DH and I had just gotten engaged and my future ILs hosted a huge party for us at their house. I remember arriving early and offered to help with final touches; future MIL handed me a few coats from a front closet to place upstairs on their bed. Fine. I did ask future MIL where her DH was and she pointed to the backyard and went about doing something.
I ran upstairs with the coats, opened their bedroom door, placed the stack of coats on the bed, turned to leave just as FIL appeared naked (from the shower) and reaching a towel. It was all a split second but he saw me and said something like,”heyyyyy…whoopsie daisy - so sorry, dear” and I ran down the steps red faced. I muttered something to my MIL about how I’d intruded and that her DH was “getting dressed” when I walked in - I apologized to her for not knocking. FIL never spoke of the incident. I always always knock everywhere before opening doors. |
| Divorced and kid walked in on me naked while boyfriend was in the bathroom. |
| I was in the Army based in Germany when I was just out of high school. A group of friends and I went on holiday to Elba island in Italy for a few days. Late one night, someone got the crazy idea to go skinny dipping in the Mediterranean. 4 or 5 of us agreed - lucky me, I was on a sandbar when the police came and hauled my friends out of the water and gave them a long lecture about swimming naked being against the law ... |
I was on the other end of this once - I was given a key card and room number, but when I walked in, I saw clothes strewn about the room and heard the shower running. Luckily I did not see the occupant! I have no idea if he knew he'd been walked in on. I backed out of the room, ran downstairs and requested a new room. They apologized profusely and gave me a major upgrade ... I was like, that's cool, but the guy in that room up there is the one you really need to apologize to, whether he knows it or not! Now I always use the chain/bolt when I'm in a hotel room. And when I'm entering a new hotel room for the first time, I crack the door open and pause for just a second before opening it all the way. |
Maybe a boss who became a husband |
Yeah, it was extremely concerning. When it happened I was a late 30s female lawyer who had to get up in a few hours to get on the road for work. Thank god it was me in the room and not some scary guy. But based on the comments made by security when I called the front desk, it sounded like she'd knocked on some other doors or at least been seen in the halls naked. When it happened I actually thought it was some criminals going around trying to get into people's rooms -- like she'd be out there with no clothes making all of these comments to get people to open the door and when the door gets opened the criminals push in and rob you or worse. That is why I put the chain on when I opened the door. And I only opened the door because I thought there was a possibility she'd been terribly hurt or something and was seeking help. But nope, she was just a woman in the room next to me -- apparently traveling for business as well -- off her rocker. |
