Weird and Embarrassing Behavior When You are Home Alone

United States
May 17, 2007 10:49am CST
Do you do anything embarrassing when you are home alone that you would never do in front of company? When I am at home and maybe just have one of the babies with me, I will act out for them singing and dancing extravagantly, emoting with the cartoons such as blues clues. If I am totally alone and I am cleaning the radio is on I often pick up my dog and sing to her at the top if my voice waiting for her to fill in the response or chorus, she looks at me like I have lost my mind and when set down will run off to her bed to hide. Sometimes I even dance with my broom and mop. What things do you do when you are at home alone that you would not want anyone else to see?

Singing is a big one for me. I have a horrible singing voice, but I often sing for my son. I even make up completely ridiculous songs and stories for him, that I would be pretty embaressed if someone else heard. Another thing that I tend to do is wear things that completely do not match, or just don't really make any sense together, or just run around in my underwear (or less!). This morning I had a bit of a scare because I went out to the laundry room (which is on our floor but not in our apartment) half-naked looking for underwear, and heard someone coming up the steps! It turned out to be my husband, but that could have been embarressing if it were a visitor! We're the only people living in the house right now, but really it's cut into two apartments (one for each floor) and I really wish they had been able to somehow put our laundryroom inside our apartment door rather than outside, because I'm always out there less than dressed. =p

I guess singing and dancing with ones dog is not so unusual after all, what is common is that we hope that our neighbors are not watching us.

Oh boy, this is embarrasing but I sing to my puppy too! I was playing some "My Chemical Romance" yesterday evening and singing some of the lyrics to him. It was so funny - he cocked his head and just looked at me with his far too human eyes. Then I started whistling the tune and he loved that bit. I just got covered in dog slobber from all the licking he did! Sometimes I just have music on super loud and dance around in the house - good job the neighbours aren't that close! lol

My little Jack Russel does not mind me dancing with her, she finds that rather fun, its when I go to sinning to her..... *sigh* must give testimony to my singing abilities, hence why I would never do it in public :)) Although the grand babies love it . I do have neighbors close and every once in awhile I wonder if they are hearing me. LMAO

I hope you weren't singing him Black Parade, lol! That song is stuck in my head, along with a Youtube, "Must be Emo", thanks to my darling son. I think watching my kid's silly Yourube vidos can be added to my list of embarassing habits at home!

well twenty years ago it wasnt scary but it probably is now because of the fact , age, lol but really, I just have lounger clothes that are great as far as being comfortable or to clean house in but never leave the house in them...plus, my hubby and I have privacy because we live by ourselves so we arent infringing upon anyone else....

That must be so nice... in my home to get any privacy, we have to hide the cars, lock the doors and close up the blinds.. still they find us. Our one Son will actually peck on the bedroom window.

I don't sing to my cats but they think that I am - must be that bad - they think I'm another cat serenading them! I have a baby now and I found that I'm sillier then ever, I make a big deal of him crawling, sitting or standing up. I sing and dance silly. I make up outrageously corny rhymes for him. And of course give brrzerberts. Take care.

this will have to be singing in whatever mode possible :) i just can't sing when i am in front of other people. it's not that i don't have a good voice but because i just don't have the confidence to sing when someone is there. whenever i am alone, i put the radio on a station where i can sing their songs. i'd do a concert where i will really sing out loud the songs and even dance if it is a danceable tune.

Aww--gosh, maryannemax stole my lines!! I was reading through the discussions and people's responses and they were all so "nice" I mean I wouldn't consider signing an embarrassing behavior...so I was so surprised no one said the obvious until maryannemax...pick one's nose! Well yup I do that at home and really go for it there....hehe...like I was digging for gold or something....LOL

I have a litany of stuff I do that I wouldn't do in front of most people. There are degrees, like the husband can see, or the kids can see. what I will not do in public, under any circumstances is eat a greasy old saucy Chicken Kebab, but I love to eat them at home. They aren't kebabs like on a sitck,but chunks of meat with lettuce and sliced cabbage in a pita and smeared with buckets of taco sauce and mayonaise. They drip everywhere and stuff falls out and runs down your chin. Definately an eat at home item!

When I'm at home alone, I cook. Cooking is not embarrassing but pretending that I have a cooking show and talking like a rachael ray poser wannabe is!

Well if you consider being caught by next door neighbours with nothing on but my underpants, then yeah its embarrassing. Or worse going to get the mail with nothing on but my underpants. Lets just say the second experience makes me reccolect of events that i'm not particularly proud of. LOL

Hmmm lets see things i do at home when i'm all alone that i dont do if im not. Leave the bathroom door open when showering or going to the washroom. Walk around naked or topless (ok i admit i've done that when my boyfriends around) Dance like a crazy person Talk to myself. or sing...into the mic on the computer. Theres messy foods i'll only eat at home or around my family i'd never eat while out in a restaurant. HMMM Sleep naked. (again have done that while my boyfriend is around) Ok so id say theres things i do alone..and things i do with certain people around.

Wow that was funny! I guess one thing that I don't want people to see if when I dance while taking a bath. I also feel like performing while showering thinking that I am a contestant in American Idol. I am also a debater so sometimes I practice my speech alone in front of my mirror. Sometimes I think I feel like an idiot because if a person would see me I would really look funny. I also have the habit of impersonating people. i also pretend to be a radio announcer when I'm inside my car. It really looks weird because it seems like i'm talking to myself when you see me from another car. I also laugh out loud when I listen to a hilarious morning show or when I listen to howard stern. I pretty much easily laugh so you can only imagine how crazy it gets. I also sing inside my car when I like the tune and sometimes I am really not in tune.

I have to admit I'm a bit like you. I sing to my animals (my cat and dog) or just have silly conversations with them. I would be so embarrassed if someone witnessed my silly behavior with my animals. But the most embarrassing thing I do is make up these silly dances just for the heck of it. I know how silly I look but I just don't care. It feels good to be a bit silly and shake off responsibility and forget you're a 'grown-up' even if it is only for a few minutes!

Yep it really is amazing how a few minutes of just being a goof ball even by yourself can make ya feel better. If I am doing it in front of the babies and they are laughing it really fills my heart, but gosh I would die if an adult saw me acting like that. My poor dog just thinks I have a few screws loose, I think she just tolerates me. She is getting cranky in her old age!

sing with the radio - dance with a kitty or the puppy - paint - why I wanna be alone to paint I dunno - but I do dance in anyway other than belly dance - I've gotten used to dancing in public with belly dance ;-) not so much with anything else
