Elektra...I can't even quote your post. ICKY....do you stay friends with the girl??
Yes, I did stay friends at first. We both ended up going to the same college for softball, and were roommates our freshman year. We ended up having a huge falling out (surprise surprise!) at the end of that year though, and were not close for several years. There is a lot about her that is just not nice.
Even with all her shenanigans, she actually sort of saved my life when I had a seizure in our shared dorm room. She pulled me out of bed, got me on my side breathing again, and called 911. And so that sort of complicates things in my mind as far as me being able to just completely not give her another thought.
We have since reconciled though, and have a safe, distant Facebook relationship.
After a stint as a lesbian, she ended up marrying a professional (male) athlete and she now has 3 boys.
Wow, this story is sort of interesting I guess.

Well, I haven't walked in on someone having sex. (My parents said I walked in on them once as a toddler, but I don't remember it.)
However I have walked out on othe people having sex. Does that count?
Freshman year in college my roommate (RM) was dating a guy on the floor downstairs (let's call him DB - Downstairs Boy). Sometimes at night RM would leave our room door unlocked and DB would come in late at night/early morning so they could have sex. RM had the upper bunk and it was terrible to listen to them have sex right above me. So I would grab DB's keys, go to his room, and sleep in his bed the rest of the night. DB's roommate was a Religious Guy (RG) and had an out-of-town girlfriend he was faithful to, so I didn't have to worry about walking in on anything there. RG was a little surprised the first time he woke in the morning and found me in DG's place, but he was very understanding about it.

Since one just does not simply walk into Mordor, I say we form a conga line and dance our way in.
Excuse me, are you in a play?
Wow, Elektra, you sure do live! What an ICK situation....

Kind of. I walked into my townhouse apartment very late at night and, without turning lights on, started to go up the stairs that were right in front of the front door. Then I noticed the stereo lights were still turned on, so I walked deep into the living room, still without turning the lightswitch on, to turn the stereo off. I couldn't see anything and wasn't noticing anything until my roommate's boyfriend's voice peeped out from behind a sofa or table, "Hi, MyName." "Hi, Boyfriend," I said, slightly puzzled. "I'm nude," he says. Suddenly catching on, I said "Then I'll leave" and I went upstairs.
They were both so embarassed in the morning, but I just thought it was nothing. I hadn't noticed them at all, never saw anything even while the conversation was taking place, and if boyfriend had kept quiet, I never would have been the wiser.
*I* got walked in on by a visiting friend once. DH claims he knew it was going to happen, knew how to avoid it, and seems to enjoy telling me he knows exactly the angle my friend saw everything. But I personally choose not to believe the details and have blocked the whole thing out.
