Embarrassed by the contents of the recycling bin

I don’t know if this would fit properly in another topic, but all the ones on embarrassment seem to be very old and inactive, so I decided to start a new one, because something happened that I just need to talk about. My handyman has been working here all week on bathroom upgrades, and when I went out to put some stuff in the recycle bin just now (late afternoon, while he is still here working), I saw that he had put things in it - incidentally things that shouldn’t go in the bin, so I had to move them to the trash, but that’s not the point. The point is that the last things I put in the bin were a whole bunch of empty pink and white LH boxes for all the toys I have bought in the 5 orders I’ve placed since discovering LH. Since the bin is about 2/3 full, they were easy to see, sitting at the top, and anyone could read the labels if they bothered to. I don’t know if he did or not. And if he did I wouldn’t expect him to say anything, but now I’m really wondering, if he saw them, what he’s thinking. He hasn’t finished the job, and there are other jobs that need doing after this one, so he will be around for a while. He’s only about 10 years younger than me, and I know he’s divorced and currently unattached, and in fact if he didn’t smoke and thus smell of cigarettes, I’m so horny I would be tempted to jump his bones (so it’s really a good thing I can’t stand cigarettes). So now I’m wondering if he’s wondering about me and and about my sex life, and feeling embarrassed as all hell about it. And also a little bit wondering if he might be tempted to make a move. And really more embarrassed about that than about his maybe having seen my boxes. I think I should probably try to act my age, and not so much like a horny teenager.

I wouldn’t worry yourself about it. If i was him and saw the contents of your bin, i’d just smile to myself and think “Good for her” and say nothing.
I’m guessing he’s seen all manner of potentially embarrassing things whilst doing his job! :slightly_smiling_face:

No reason to be embarrassed at all. It simply means that you’re in control of your own sexuality.

I know that our postman recognises the LH delivery label (even though it’s very discrete) on the stuff we get and our cleaner has definitely seen the larger items in our collection as they’re too big to hide away. She’s in her 80’s now but she showed us a photo of the Basque she wears when she’s with her boyfriend.

People are not as judgemental as you might think.

Same as @WillC

Builders…sparkies…plumbers…decorators all kinds of workmen see inside and outside our homes. They will have seen it all… clothing… toys… contraceptives… books… it’s all in a days work for them. I have friends in these trades and they turn a blind eye.

Don’t worry about it…as regarding him making a move…he could lose his job so I would doubt it. So that would be down to you.

We all have things in our bins…just be careful if it’s a sex doll or a dildo…you don’t want forensics rummaging through it!!!

Unless there are pictures of the items on the boxes he’s probably not paid any mind to them but I wouldn’t be embarrassed about them.

Don’t feel embarrassed by it, he probably never even noticed and if he did he would only be disappointed he was not having as much fun as you.

Don’t be embarrassed, if he noticed he could be googling lovehoney to see what you’ve been buying :joy: you’ll know he noticed if he comes back with a twinkle in his eye and a cheeky smile :joy: seriously though you’re just doing what the rest of us are, enjoying YOUR life the way YOU want to and you’re discarding your rubbish responsibly :blush:nothing wrong with any of that :joy::joy: keep having fun :upside_down_face:

I wouldnt worry like everyone else has said. I once had a surveyor and plasterer in my bedroom doing stuff… i had forgotten to take the restraints off the bed. I get so used to them being there i dont notice them. I dont care if they saw them. Hes probably seen a lot more than a few empty boxes lol!!!

If he’s like any typical handyman then unless it’s a big lot of rubbish he put in the bin I’d suspect he done a quick lid flip and pushed the junk in rather than opened it right up and looked in :sweat_smile:
And nevertheless if he did open the lid all the way Chances are he didn’t pay attention to what was in there already, so your most likely safe lol

Alternatively if feeling daring you could just ask him right up, did you happen to see my sexy boxes in the recycling bin while you put the wrong stuff in it haha :laughing:

Only the number of wine and spirit bottles

I used to work as a home warranty guy for 2 home builders here in Canada. Back in the day I think I had keys/codes to everyone’s houses and they let me come and go as I pleased. I saw things in peoples houses that I could not believe. I was pretty naïve and was shocked at many things I saw.

The worst was the way some people live in a disgusting mess. These were brand new houses and many were destroyed by the owners or the pets. The best was this one gal who knew I was coming and asked me to do some work at her home while she was away. I would replace a baseboard or fix a hardwood squeak every month or so - no big deal. One day she asked me to go by (I had a key and no one was home) and do some stuff in one of her bedrooms. This room was set up like a scene from 50 Shades! The room was locked and she told me where the key was in the house so I opened the door to discover a “playroom” set up with a full video set. When I opened the door I got a text asking what I thought. She laughed at me as she said “Smile, you are on camera! I’m watching your face!” There had to be 15 cameras in this room. She was just fucking with me and she planned the whole thing as there was no work to be done in there.

Long story short @SexyAucklandWidow, you may really get to like cigarettes!

Don’t be embarrassed, I travelled around Vietnam on a motorbike and when leaving a hotel the cleaning lady came running outside telling me I forgot something, waving in the air my cock ring with attached butt plug.

I said thanks and shoved it in my pocket and rode off into the sunset.

Thanks to everyone who reassured me. And especially thanks to @CurvyJilly for reminding me that if I spent more time focusing on real life and less time in my head in pornographic fantasies I would have realized that of course he wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize his job - the sexy workman who comes on to you only happens in trashy romances and porn, not in the real world. I’m probably most embarrassed by the fact that I’m so horny I was kind of hoping something would happen because of it. But he’ll never know that, so I’ll just let the rest go.

In a previous part of my job when we had to change locks on houses ie after evictions we had to take pics of house and contents so when previous owners/tenants came back to collect what they wanted to keep they wouldn’t be able to claim for something that wasn’t there on one occasion I took pic of inside drawer and when I saw what was on pic I deleted the pic as the drawer was full of sex toys and I didn’t think the eviction company had any right to see what was there. The tenant came back a few weeks later to collect what she wanted and I told her what I had done to pic and she thanked me she then asked I had gotten embarrassed when I opened the drawer I said why we have a drawer at home with the same toys in it and we just laughed
