One explained how they had a burglary and the criminal left behind all of the woman's adult toys on the bed. "The police said I had to leave them there for crime-scene photos, my Dad laughed," she penned.

Another awkward blunder resulted in a child pointing to a raunchy device and saying, "here's your bone, mama." The Twitter user added: "I can’t stop wondering why he called it that. Hahahahah".

A third shared: "I’ve had a loudly vibrating bag at baggage claim THREE TIMES! And once had my bag inspected at Mexico customs while vibrating. You just gotta brass that sh*t out. Makes you stronger."

Others didn't find the story as funny and instead, experienced second hand embarrassment: "Some things you are supposed to take with you to the grave... This is one of them," one said.

While another person asked: "Honestly am I the only one who would have never brought a sex toy with me while traveling?"
