Work Video Call Accidentally Shows Wife During Intimate M…
The Original Post
My wife and I both work from home and my job is super chill. Hers doesn’t start til about 10am. Mine starts at 8am.
8am rolls around and I’m laying in bed on Teams messaging people about work related stuff while my wife is asleep. I put my phone down and start reading my book because there’s not a lot for me to do.
I hear a ping from Teams and a coworker wants me to cover a meeting for him. No big deal. I say I can do it and he emails me the registration information. I set my phone down with our conversation up in case he wants to message me again and start reading again.
My wife wakes up and starts cuddling me. I put my book down and kiss her etc. eventually her shirt comes off and shes on top of me.
I’m still in my undies and t shirt at the time, wife on top of me with her boobs out, I’m feelin’ ‘em, and all of a sudden we hear “HELLO!?” coming from my work phone. I look down and there I am on VIDEO on TEAMS with my coworker. I immediately hang up and my wife throws herself back to her side of the bed and covers up. I immediately messaged him “sorry, butt dial. “ he responds with, “saw more than I care to :)” I profusely apologize and he says “it’s ok, gave me a chuckle for the day”
I am absolutely mortified. This has never happened to me before.
Tl;dr coworker saw my wife and I getting it on
