TIFU by witnessing my classmate’s grandma flash the entire online class

This happened during the pandemic when everything was online and Microsoft Teams was basically our classroom. Our professor required all cameras to be on, which was already a struggle but hey, rules are rules.

So were in the middle of a lecture, more or less 20 of us in the meet. One of my classmates had his background blurred, but not well enough, you could still make out a huge cloth wardrobe behind him. No big deal at first.

A few minutes in, an elderly woman casually strolls into his background wearing a bathrobe. I figured she was just passing through. Wrong. So wrong.

She came back. Still in the bathrobe. Then, without warning, boom. She dropped the robe. Just… dropped it. Full frontal grandma. Right there. On screen. For all 20 of us to see, including the prof.

The worst part? Neither my classmate nor his grandma realized the camera could see them. Everyone else? Frozen in shock. You could see the professor desperately trying to continue her lecture while clearly being baffled by what he saw. In fact none of was able to do anything in that situation due to the awkwardness and shock.

I don’t think I ever recovered from that secondhand trauma. I never knew that those could reach the level of your belly button.

TL;DR: Classmate’s grandma walked into frame during online class, didn’t realize she was visible, dropped her robe, and accidentally flashed the entire class. Now that image is permanently burned into my brain.
