I love tanning in my backyard but not when my dad’s gardening – it’s a constant awkward struggle
A SUN seeker said getting a tan isn’t always as relaxing as she would hope.
When her strict father starts doing yard work at the same time, she’s forced to keep things a bit more covered.
While TikToker Cyra Taheri (@cyrataheri) knows the value of a golden glow, she’s not always keen on getting one at home.
She joked about the awkward experience with her father in a video.
“When you’re tanning in the backyard and your Middle Eastern father comes out to pick fruit off the trees and clean up the garden,” Cyra began.
She then filmed herself in a bathing suit, lying on a lounge chair.
The uneasy yet cheeky look on her face gave away the awkwardness that she felt in such a scenario.
“Looks like we’re just tanning the front side today,” she wrote in the caption, refusing to flip on her stomach and potentially flash her backside.
As for another woman who struggles with backyard tanning, TikToker Emma Sayre (@emmasayre14) said her neighbors are a little too close for comfort.
In the video, she began: “Anyone else feels weird tanning in their backyards?”
“I love to tan in my backyard because it’s nice out.”
But as she looked around, she realized her tanning spot was not exactly far from prying eyes.
“I have a nice big backyard, but then I realize that my neighbors can see me.”
Her problem was about to get worse.
“I live on a busy street, so even just driving slowly past, if they happen to look over, they can definitely see me.
“People walking past, they’re probably like, what the freak is this girl doing, just lying there in her swimsuit?”
She panned her camera around to show how close her neighbors were.
“Like that house literally can look right down at me and they have a little kid.
“It just feels kind of weird.”
