Pregnancy announcements can take many forms these days. Some are shared in heartfelt posts online, others happen in intimate family settings, and many are carefully planned to make the moment feel special.
But one Redditor was taken aback when, during the lunch party she threw, a guest she hardly knew emotionally revealed she was expecting. The woman explained she’d just taken a test she found in the host’s bathroom drawer.
Setting aside the awkward fact that she snooped through someone else’s things, the bigger issue was that the test wasn’t even for pregnancy—it was something entirely different.
Once the host pointed that out, the joyful announcement crumbled and the party spiraled into full-blown drama. Read on for the story.
