OK so fuck it-- I'm using my main account. This really did happen today.
Last day of my holiday vacation from work and husband and I had taken our dogs hiking. Husband ran to the convenience store after dropping me and dogs home. I went to start a load of laundry to make sure it was all done before going back to work. Around the corner from our washer and dryer is a side entrance to our house, which my husband and I use but normally deliveries come to the front door. This side door has a big window on the top half and it has blinds but they were up this afternoon.
I was wearing my favorite winter long sleeve yoga shirt and sports bra combo for the hike that I knew I'd want to wear again like, probably tomorrow after work, so I took it off and tossed it in with the laundry load because I was going straight to the bedroom to put on jammies after starting the load. I heard a car drive up that sounded just like ours and footsteps. Dogs were more tired than usual from hiking today I guess because they weren't barking as if a stranger were approaching.
I had something totally mundane to tell my husband that I didn't want to forget so immediately popped around the corner toward the door to tell him and was about to open that door for him . . . when I locked eyes for a terrifying second with the Amazon guy carrying a box to the door. I popped back around the corner out of sight lightning fast and stood there frozen in horror for a long terrible minute. At that point I thought it would have been better to wrap one of the towels that were folded on top of the dryer around my top half and yell something funny at him to try to dispel a little of the awkwardness. But by the time the shock wore off he was down the road. It was our regular delivery guy and I'll be hiding from him for the rest of my life.
If you're reading this Amazon guy, I'm either sorry or you're welcome. Happy new year!
tl;dr: accidentally went running topless to greet an Amazon delivery driver and now must live with the shame.
