For me it was the kid next door screaming at her mum. Went soft as a wet noodle.

    Tl:dr Discovered I have a phobia for sleight-of-hand magicians and it ruined the most romantic opportunity of my life.

    I booked an expensive, bougie hotel room for me and my (at the time) boyfriend, and we were planning on a wild night. He asked me to leave the room for an hour for him to prepare, so I went to the hotel bar for a drink. A guy approached me to bum a cig and began doing random magic tricks - pulling cards out of nowhere, making things appear in my pocket, and making ashes appear in my palm. I’m not sure why, but I absolutely panicked - it felt so violating to think that he was in my pockets and making things happen to my body without my knowledge or consent.

    I ended up in a full blown panic attack and rushed back to the room. My partner was fully ready for an amazing romantic encounter, with rose petals and champagne and everything. I ended up just hyperventilating and ranting about scary magicians then fell asleep. I felt so bad that I ruined the night. I still get anxiety when I see magic tricks.

      That’s fascinating. I can totally understand your phobia (not that I feel it but it makes complete sense).

    It wasn’t sex, but I was making out with a girl and the TV was on. One of the characters out of nowhere goes “no lightbulbs?! NO LIGHTBULBS!?” and I completely lost it, laughing right in her face practically in tears.

    Construction work on the street, you know the Tchakatchaktchaktchaktchak from the jackHammer ? Pretty anti-romantic isn’t it ?

    It’s out of the room, but the noise of SO kids turning their key in the door when coming back home, but we told you to text before coming back, we’re worried when you’re on the street (Well actually we’re naked, in the living room and have like 30 second to pretend we were watching TV)

    Strange drunk man hip-checked his way into my locked apartment. He was on the wrong floor, trying to visit his buddy one above me.

    Full, over-the-top drama mode to the apartment managers and they installed a much more secure door and deadbolt. I’d already complained about their doors being basically just thick cardboard, so I wasn’t going to pass the opportunity up.

    Gunshots. Hard to stay hard wondering if you’re about to acquire some new holes, but I guess it depends on your kinks.

      Fuck that. Warzone roleplay. You’re a spec ops soldier and you’re partner is that little camping ass mf’s parental figure.

    It was the tv at the foot of our bed. Saturday Night Live was on, but the skits were kinda so so. So, the wife and I start getting frisky. A few minutes in and all I heard was “I’m the sexiest girl in the sixth grade…NO NO you can’t say that!” The skit was a couple trying to talk dirty, but the woman is saying some messed up stuff. Totally ruined the moment, but turned out to be one of the funniest skits I’ve seen for a while.

    I once had a son when i came to early when my bed riser fell over. The bed completely tilted to one corner and the jolt just did it.

    So… Would it have made it better or worse if she was yelling for her dad instead? 🤣
