Good Vibrations
I was in the Navy, stationed on an aircraft carrier. In the sleeping compartment I was assigned to, we had lockers called “coffin lockers.” Our beds were on top of the coffin lid, which we opened the way you would think to get to our stuff.
These were stacked three high, with not quite enough room to sit up while you were in the bed. We were on a deployment, so we brought whatever we couldn’t live without for six months to a year. One of the things I had was a rechargeable shaver.
Well, apparently when I closed my locker the one night before going to bed, I’d jarred the battery cover and the shaver intermittently vibrated against the wall of the locker. However, I didn’t realize it at first…and this led to one embarrassing moment.
I heard the vibration and assumed that the girl assigned to the bunk under mine was going to town on herself with a vibrator. It went on and on, so then I started thinking that it wasn’t her with her vibrator. I got out of bed and opened my locker, and when I saw the shaver, I realized what I had been hearing.
At that moment, the girl laying in her bunk below mine opened the curtains and gave me a look. I showed her the shaver and explained what happened. We both had a laugh when she said that she thought I had been going to town on myself with a vibrator. Story credit: Reddit / KJParker888
