I looked at it and saw that my boyfriend (now husband) had texted me saying, “I hate it when I’m pooping and my dick touches the water.

20. Left my phone on the kitchen table and went to pee. My parents were making dinner and my mum saw the “wanna fuck?” notification from my boyfriend pop up. I was confused when I came back in the kitchen and my parents were laughing. Thanks Iphone.
21. Story apps can give really interesting ones.
My favorite that popped up while my boyfriend was holding my phone was something like, “Mike misses you! Come back and play!” Or something like that.
Of course all he did was pull the drop down menu down to see the full notification and laugh.
He teased me about it for hours.

24. My friend sent a poop pic while my then girlfriend was checking the weather for us one morning.
25. My friend made this fake account on Twitter and followed me exactly at the time my teacher had taken my phone away. The notification read @analfister6969 has followed you.
26. My SIL was staying with me for a week, which I wasn’t stoked about. My sister knew about it and messaged me, “How are you dealing with (SIL’s name)? Do you need to pretend to have a nap again lol?”
Unfortunately my SIL was borrowing my tablet at the time and saw the notification pop up. She hasn’t stayed with us since.
27. A couple of years ago met a guy from Tinder in a pub for our first date. Things were going well, we were having a laugh and flirting. After about an hour I took out my phone to show him a funny meme and up popped a notification from my new period tracking app saying, “Today’s the day! You’re ovulating!”
I swiped it real quick and I don’t think he got a good look at it but I was still worried he’d think I was some child-obsessed weirdo who timed my dates so random Tinder guys could impregnate me. I turned off ovulation notifications after that.
28. Years ago I was working at an Apple store as a Genius (technician) and was helping an older woman with her phone. This woman had to be in her late 60s early 70s, as sweet as could be, and was having some minor issues with her phone, I think it was battery life or something.
So she hands me her phone, and just as she does a message pops up with a picture of a toilet full of shit and the message reads, “How many times do I have to tell you to flush the fucking toilet?!”
Not knowing really what to do I just hand it back to her and tell her she has a message. She takes the phone, half smiles, closes the message and hands it back saying, “Sorry about that sweetheart, my daughter can be a bit of a bitch.”
29. Was showing my mum some cake ideas for my wife’s 30th that I was considering. My wife text me and my mum (for unknown reasons) got a full view of my wife’s poon with the caption: “Guess what you’re eating for dessert tonight?”
I tried to grab my phone back, and my mum went back to browsing cakes without skipping a beat. As I was leaving my mum thought it would be funny to ask, “Would you like 2nd dessert tonight, because I have a trifle in the fridge?”
I nearly died of shame.
