After a lot of deliberation in the last post- I decided that I should post this story after all. It’s not too terrible and if my roommate doesn’t post it, oh well. At least it’s not anything REALLY embarrassing, like thinking you peed yourself during an intimate moment….
So therefore this may be the second best headfake ever, or maybe just a good anecdote for y’all. Either way, here it is.

CD (the other roommate) was out of town over the weekend. He came back but the airline lost his bag on Sunday. So last night it arrived at our door delivered by the airline. The Ex answers the door and signs for the bag. With some consideration he decides to take it upstairs and set it by CD’s door so that he will know his bag finally arrived.
It’s an old house and while there are keys to get into the house, none of the doors really lock except for the bathroom and the basement. In other words, the rooms don’t have personal locks, which is fine in our house since we stay out of each other’s stuff (as far as I know…) and mind our own business. The bathroom is at the top of the stairs and is furthest from my room. On one side of the hall a dog gate and a vacuum usually sit so I head to the right side when walking to my room. Last night (late night due to finals studying) I took a shower.
Afterwards I wrapped myself in a towel and thought nothing of going to my room in a towel only since it only takes about six steps to get there. Usually I leave my bedroom door open, but for some reason had pulled it closed on my way to the bathroom last night. I filled a huge cup with water and began heading to bed. I walked along the right side of the hallway with some haste since I knew the path and thought nothing of it. So what if I can’t see? Right then- BAM!!!!
My right hit foot CD’s bag sitting in the hall and I reached up for the wall to get back my balance and unfortunately met CD’s door which swung open easily without a lock. CD grunted and moved from some dark realm of the room. More concerned with the possibility of throwing water all over the now quickly awaking roommate I darted back into the dark hallway, pausing there to realize that my towel was now at waist level. My breasts had been completely exposed in his room.
Not knowing what to do I stood there, unmoving, holding my breath. Do I apologize and try and to explain? Do I wait till morning? Did he see my boobs? OMG, does he think I was trying to break into his room? What if he’s mad? And as my mind raced I heard nothing from his room. I assumed he was asleep. Because of this I was unsure if I should venture back into his room and try and close his door and hope it doesn’t make noise. Leaving the door open, I slipped into my room feeling like a total idiot. But when CD got up only moments later to close his door again, I realized he hadn’t been asleep. I still haven’t talked to CD about it.
A little while later I went down to grab a textbook from the living room and ran into my Ex who asked me what happened. Uggh… apparently I made more noise than I thought when I busted through the door. Embarrassed I hat to sneak past CD’s room once again into my own. I think from now on I’ll get dressed in the bathroom and check for possible obstacles prior to walking down it.
