A woman has opened up about the moment she realized she had accidentally sent a nude pic to her parents.
The mortifying moment comes courtesy of 28-year-old fitness influencer Steph Claire Smith, who opened up about the mishap on her podcast, Outspoken The Podcast.
Smith, a mom of one, recalled that the moment happened several years ago while she was living by herself. After snapping an intimate photo of herself, she had intended to send it to her now-husband, Josh Miller.
However, she accidentally sent it to her business partner AND her parents.
"I'm fairly sure this is up there with the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me, I sent a nude to my mom and dad," Smith said on the podcast - as she started to detail a moment that would make me want the ground to just open up and swallow me whole.
Although she did not go into details about how the mishap occurred, Smith did say that after she had hit send, her Keep It Cleaner co-founder - Laura Henshaw - rushed over to her house in an attempt to resolve the unfortunate situation.
Tragically - unless the friends could build a time machine and go back to a time before Smith ever sent the photo - their efforts were futile, as her parents' messaging app had its automatic download settings turned on. This meant that once the photos arrived, they were automatically saved to their gallery.
Yep, not even a dirty delete could save Smith.
Amazingly, rather than just quietly deleting the images and saying nothing about the situation (which is exactly what my mom would do), Smith's mother actually replied.
"I don't think we needed to see that," she said in her witty response to her daughter's saucy snaps.
Smith discussed the moment with journalist sisters Amy, Kate, and Sophie Taeuber - who said that they would "smash" their cell phones if they were to ever make the same mistake. One of the sisters even went as far as to say they would "throw [their] phone in the river and disappear for a few years".
In another embarrassing moment, let's all remember the moment this woman accidentally sent her father a NSFW message meant for her boyfriend:
This time, the woman in question is named Alexa, she took to Twitter to share a screenshot of a recent conversation she'd had by text. As you can see, at one point she sent a message which was intended to be seen by her boyfriend only, which read: "babe I wish we could f*** and eat pizza after every night."
It was only after she had sent the message to her dad that a mortified Alexa sent her father a mortified message simply reading: "Dad I am so sorry."
Luckily for her, Alexa's dad seemed to see the funny side of it all, and later she uploaded a video of herself in which her dad quipped: "so how was the pizza?" - showing that he'd definitely read the message!
I would simply put myself up for adoption in these cases.
