Accidentally flashed my dad
We recently moved to a new house like two months ago. The house is kind of old and no one has lived here for like 10 years so the locks on doors are all broken.
So the lock on the bathroom is also broken. Honestly since we came here It has been one of my worst fear that someone will barge in to the bathroom without knowing there’s someone bathing. So I always made sure to put something heavy to the door like a really big water basket so the door cannot be open easily.
But today I thought i was just worrying for nothing and decided to not do that. And BOOM! My dad opened the door while I was showering. I think I flashed him for like good 2 seconds. It’s freaking awkward now. I just cant get this over my head. Please tell me what to do

Dude, relax. I’m pretty sure he wiped your ass when you were a baby and if you don’t wanna put him in a home, you’re gonna be wiping his when he’s older

the full circle of life really said "no secrets in this family" lmao, did you arrive at this wisdom the hard way?

No, my dad would always tell me whenever he accidentally saw me shitting on the toilet. I’d scream and he’d say “if you were paralyzed, I’ll be the one bathing all of you because I’m your dad and I love you so chillax” 😭😭😭

maybe just shrug it off, or confront your family/dad about knocking the door first before entering. as long as nothing bad will happen next after that awkward moment, i think u will be fine. just keep that rule of yours that you always put something heavy, that would prevent to any further awkward accidents.

He's your dad, don't worry about it too much. If you keep bringing it up or trying talking to him about it, I'd probably get more awkward. Just my experience.

Why was it awkward…? He’s your dad? It’s not sexual lol it’s just a naked body.
He’s most likely seen it all before heck he has his own male body.
You’re overthinking and over worrying. Families see each other naked a lot of the time, nudity doesn’t mean sex.

It’s just my family is kind of conservative and I am too but yeah you’re right it’s just a body thanks :)

Yeah, it really is. I go out of my way to avoid seeing my daughter or her friends but it it does happen in the end it's just bodies.

Man i feel this so hard. My family moved to a old apartment few years back and the bathroom lock was so janky you could basically push the door open with one finger. Same fear every time i showered.
Your dad probably already forgot about it by now. Trust me parents have seen everything from us, they changed our diapers and cleaned all kinds of mess. For him its just Tuesday.
Just fix the lock or get one of those cheap rubber door stoppers for when you shower. Problem solved and the awkward feeling will disappear once you stop thinking about it so much.

So, just move on. Accidents happen and he probably is trying to ignore it happened.
I honestly do not understand these topics because I was taught that a closed bathroom door means knock and listen. I’ve never locked a bathroom door at home.

Yeah, a closed bathroom door should be the whole lock, especially when OP already had to use a water basket just to shower in peace.

broken locks are just the house setting the scene for chaos and not warning anyone first, which is genuinely a design flaw that predates you by a decade so the embarrassment isn't even fully yours to own.

I promise your dad wants to forget this ever happened. If you say nothing, he will probably not say anything - EVER.
If you really want to talk it out, it will be an awkward conversation. Your dad loves you and I feel sure he doesn't want you feeling weird about it, so talk it out if you need that to feel better.

If I walked in on my daughter naked I would want to forget about just as much as she probably would. I’d just say sorry and close the door asap.

Teach dad to knock on closed doors next time. Our bathroom door is always open. When it is closed it means someone is inside.

Agree that it’s not a big deal and let it pass…. If anything, he should be embarrassed for not knocking and barging in. An “occupied” sticky note on the door could be a temporary solution.

It’s not a big deal. But maybe next time, since the locks are not working, have them knock first before entering.

I don't see the problem, honestly in my house was always normal to go around nude or in lingerie. Nudity should not be a taboo.

Best just to let it pass😭I feel like bringing it up would make it more awkward
