This didn’t happen today but about 7 years ago… At the time I was F (17).
My mom and I had a very friendship-like relationship growing up. We talked about a lot of things, from relationships to sex to boys. So when the new Fifty Shades of Grey movie came out in theaters, we decided we wanted to go together, since we watched the previous ones together.
So the day it dropped my mom picked me up from school and we headed towards the cinema. We bought snacks and drinks and waited in line for the movie to start.
We get inside the cinema and make our way to our assigned seats. There were already about 5 people sitting in the seats next to ours… Want to take a wild guess who? Well…If you said 5 of my teachers that I personally know… you would be correct. They knew me, they knew my mom. And we were about to sit next to them. I was MORTIFIED.
My mom actually sat down and started talking to them about my CLASSES!!! I wanted to crawl into a hole.
You think that is awkward, so did I. Until…the sex scenes started playing on screen and my teachers were sitting right next to me.
Their classes were never the same again.
I think about this every now and again and get mortified all over again. Sorry for any errors, English is not my first language. This is also my first reddit post.
TLDR: I sat next to my teachers while watching Fifty Shades Darker…
So... Your teachers were watching it too. What's the matter?
As a man I felt after watching the first movie, it teaches that being a total asshole to a woman is fine as long you have money.
Money <> consent, but boy does Hollywood work overtime trying to make Fetch happen...
I don’t think Christianity has much to do with this tbh. It would be awkward to sit next to your teachers regardless
I totally agree
The true FU isn't sitting next to your teachers; it's subjecting them to a film where the romantic lead is a billionaire whose entire personality is a red flag factory. Awkwardness aside, you all collectively endured a masterclass in toxic relationship dynamics. The shared trauma bonds you forever.
True— that’s not just X, but Y.
Nobody mentioned Christianity what are you talking about?
Haha OP must have take it out because of my comment. The body of the post used to start with someone along the lines of “my family is super christian and i went to a super christian school so keep that in mind”
You think it was weird for you, how about them sitting there worrying that you're going to school on Monday to tell everyone about the freaky shit your teachers are in to?
(Not that BDSM is freaky, but to a 17 year old it probably is)
I think it’s weirder to go with your mom.
The teachers being there is embarrassing but the mom being there is worse. I will never watch a movie with a sex scene with my parents. Let alone a movie inspired by fanfic porn.
The fact that op and her mom watched the previous movie together is weird. Maybe it is bc my crim law textbook was filled with pedophilia(and violent rape, even when the chapter wasn’t about sex crimes) but when a guardian exposes a child(teens are kids too) to inappropriate sexual content, my mind immediately goes to grooming and pedophilia.
Can’t help but wonder if OP’s teacher thought so.
Your teachers were probably just as traumatized as you were by that seating arrangement.
This wasn’t how I thought this was going to turn out. A bit embarrassing but not a big deal.
Not one word of that is true.
you and your mom casually watching christian grey rail anastasia while five of your teachers sat next to you eating popcorn is the most unhinged core memory ever 😭 lowkey did you ever make eye contact with them in class again or just die inside every time they called your name fr??
OP has a pretty privileged life to be mortified by that.
Sorry to say that but this is a pretty lame story 😅
