There are some things we are simply not meant to see. Maybe it’s your neighbor doing something they definitely should be doing behind a closed door, a friend’s browser history, or a shady document that was supposed to stay hidden. And once you see it, good luck pretending you didn’t.
That was the idea behind a question posted on Reddit, asking people to share something they had seen that they “weren’t definitely supposed to see.” The post was a hit, with 47k upvotes and over 14k replies.
It quickly turned into a collection of awkward, hilarious, shocking, and sometimes deeply disturbing stories. We got the best just for your amusement, dear pandas.

My friend worked for his dad who was continuing the family piano business. I came across the pricing sheets and saw what they paid for pianos and what their retailer recommended they sell them for. Of course there's a markup, but you'd think it's only double; or at least that's what I thought. Nope, it's like, 4-5 times markup in general, people are used to pianos being expensive so they play on that. It's, of course, greater as the "quality" goes up. That grand piano that costs as much as a Mercedes is, like, $8,000 for them if I remember correctly.

I saw/read by accident the messages my Aunt was sending to her lover. It's been our secret since I was ten lol.

In elementary, I saw my teacher peeing on a bucket in our class storage (don't ask why she didn't use the bathroom).
And no she's not old

I was a 5-6 in a rural town a looong time ago; local businessmen founded a bank, built a new building, and had an open house. There was cake and punch, lots of shiny new technology and decor, and the vault door was standing open behind the row of teller stations. I walked around the tellers row, into the vault, and saw a pile of white bags in a back corner, I walked up to the bags and I think I saw green inside. I felt kinda queezy....
About that time Dad spotted me and stage-whispered "Hey! Get outta there!!". This was before video surveillance and I was an innocent little kid that no one was paying attention to. I still wonder what I saw and whether I could have gotten some free samples.

Two years ago, I was using my old iPad, I had just gotten it as a hand me down from my dad.
Apparently he didn’t know at the time about the recently deleted folder in photos. So when I went to clean it out there were like 15 Snapchat dm screenshots from this hairy, and I mean HAIRY, girl with a slight mustache in all sorts of explicit positions. I still to this day don’t know where he got these photos (he doesn’t believe in social media, and I know for sure he doesn’t have Snapchat)
It’s still kinda surreal to think about because it’s something so uncharacteristic of him.

In 7th grade we had coed PE. When I sat down in the next class I noticed the girl next to me was unbuttoning her shirt in class. She'd gotten the two side's buttons out-of-order after PE and was fixing it. I saw her bra and a little skin but that was pretty exciting in 7th grade and she became a lot cuter and daring in my eyes.
EDIT: Nah....she married the guy who took her to HS prom. He's now a fundamentalist preacher and she's probably 100 lbs. heavier. I wonder what happened and if she thinks about it.
