When it comes to taking a pregnancy test, there are no restrictions or regulations on the time and place you should take one...right?
Some may nip into the nearest public bathroom to quickly take one, while others will wait to hear the news in the comfort of their own home.
But one woman has shared a bizarre story online, claiming that a complete stranger decided to pry and snoop through her drawers before taking a test while at her house for lunch.
According to The Mirror, the anonymous woman revealed all in a post on Reddit's Am I The A**hole forum, where she details the peculiar situation - which only becomes more surreal as she goes on.
In her post, she writes that she was hosting a lunch at her house for a group of friends who invited along a new couple, named Doug and Sasha, that she and her partner had never met before.
During the visit, Sasha needed to use the facilities, so the woman told her she could use the bathroom off the master bedroom, as the other was occupied.
She goes on to say: "I was helping my husband finish with food when Sasha came out of the master bawling and holding something in her hand. At first I thought she hurt herself, but she said something to Doug that caused him to drop to his knees, cry, and begin kissing her stomach.
"All of our friends begin screaming, jumping, and crying. It was insane. Finally, Sasha tells my husband and I that she is pregnant."
The woman congratulates the couple but admits she found it odd that Sasha had brought a pregnancy test with her and taken it at a complete stranger's house.
But it turns out, that wasn't exactly what had happened.
"Once everyone sat down to eat Sasha said: "I hope you don't mind that I used one of your pregnancy tests. I just saw them and had to.
"I responded (confused) I don't have pregnancy tests. Sasha says yes, in your drawer.
"I asked if she meant the blue box in the back of my lower left drawer that was closed. She seemed to realise I was pointing out that she basically snooped and sheepishly said the box said pregnancy for pregnancy test. I said Sasha, the brand is Pregmate and those are ovulation tests. I do not own pregnancy tests. Did you take an ovulation test?"
Doug is said to have gotten upset at this point "saying his wife was not an idiot and can read a box".
"He insisted Sasha get the test out and show me that I'm wrong. Sasha refused saying she didn't need to prove anything to a complete stranger and insisted they would leave immediately.
"One of the couples thought Doug and Sasha acted ridiculously. The other three couples thought I should have pulled Sasha aside to discuss my concerns and said I was an a**hole for saying something in front everyone."
She adds that she did later find out through one of the friends that Sasha had in fact used an ovulation test and was not pregnant.
More than 1,300 people responded to the post, with many agreeing the woman did nothing wrong and the strangers were at fault.
One person replied: "NTA. I mean who goes through another person's drawers and takes any kind of test. It's her comeuppance to have taken the wrong test and embarrassed herself. Serves her right."
Another wrote: "This is insane, to snoop through someone’s stuff, then take something, admit to it, then get mad that you took the ‘wrong’ thing and throw a tantrum."
A third added: "Ovulation tests are not cheap. I’d be furious with her, who cares about her feelings when she’s rifling through your things and stealing them. Absolutely bizarre, unacceptable behaviour."
