Why the heck would they open a package not addressed to them??? So rude! I think you did a good job with your cover story. The important part is to totally believe they believed and act like they believe. If they mention it again, that’s really inappropriate and just ignore them.
Rock on!

Illegal, really

I’m not particularly familiar with the law but isn’t opening mail that’s not yours a federal offense? Like I’m not saying you should report your landlord but at the very least I think it’s their fuckup and not yours. You had a right to expect privacy for your mail.
And yeah as others have said already they definitely didn’t buy your story lol

Think of it this way:
-
There are a number of factories that only make vibrators.
-
Vibrators are available on thousands of websites, including Amazon.
-
There are probably millions of them on shelves of stores right now.
An industry of that size does not exist for a small audience of users.
Yes, it’s embarrassing that they know what vibrator you have, but having a vibrator is not embarrassing.
Now go rev that puppy up and knock one out!

Everybody masturbates, only religious nutjobs will give you shit about it. The average person literally doesn't care. Getting real tired of these "TIFU because someone discovered I'm a sexual being" posts.

Isn’t opening someone else’s mail a crime or something??

It is only illegal if it's opened and addressed to someone else. It is immoral, because they were told op is expecting a package and opened it anyway.

It’s not clear from story whether it was USPS. If it was amazon, fedex, ups, it doesn’t apply.
Even if it was USPS, the whole no-name thing can make it ambiguous.
If you’re a similar situation, try ordering from Amazon to an amazon hub locker. Many around, often drug stores and other places. Save the embarrassment.

Personally, I would have duct taped it to my phone and said its the upgrade to the silent vibrator mode since I don’t feel the OEM factory motors going off in my pocket.
Muzzy637 t1_j12d7em wrote
I’m sure it was addressed to OP, not the landlord.

OK. It seems like you are a grown-ass woman, correct? You are renting a room so, I assume you're at least 18.
So, let me ask you. As an ADULT, not a child, and they're not your parents, why the Hell are you ready to slit your wrists, because other ADULTS saw your new vibrator? Unless you're studying to become a nun (which by you getting to know how to use your first vibrator, could almost be considered homework 😉) I think you have to learn to loosen up a little. It's not like you're Chrissy or Janet, and Jack just opened your mail by accident. Hey, that would have made one funny episode!
So, RELAX! Do you know what can really help you relax? Sit back, pour a big glass of your favorite wine, and put some fresh batteries in your new boyfriend! Have fun!

If it was addressed with your name on it and they opened it, then they committed a felony.
-Chris-V- t1_j12p7l6 wrote
Honestly, yes, they should have. As others have posted, it's illegal to open mail that's not addressed to you, and his comment was just awkward and creepy. Add to that the complicated power dynamics at play... frankly he should know better.

If i got a package delivered to the address I live at that had no name on it just where I live I would open it. What would you do give it back to the postman?

The No name thing doesn’t make it ambiguous, since there is no name it’s perfectly legal. Since the owner of the home opened it (the landlord) they were the implied recipient.
d5509 t1_j13j6ju wrote
If the address is their legal address and it doesn’t have a name on it, I could see them opening it. What I think is messed up, is them not saying anything to you about it and waiting for you to ask them about it. What’s even creepier is the wink and the “have fun”. It’s very inappropriate.
You getting a vibrator is nothing to be ashamed about but I can see you not wanting your landlord involved at all with this. What they should have done was sealed it back as best they could. If it still looked opened, left a note apologizing(letting you know they are sorry for unintentionally invading your privacy) and telling you that you don’t have to discuss the matter at all. It was up to them to make it not weird.
Anyway, don’t worry about it now. Vibrators are totally normal. I hope you got a hitachi magic wand. It’s king/queen of all vibrators.

The landlord doesn't live here. The OP has a lease. Mail delivered to the address is hers by default, unless explicitly misaddressed to the landlord by name.
maxs507 t1_j13ktiy wrote
I don’t see how landlord was in the wrong - They saw a package addressed for OP (the gift from mom) and then another package with the address but no name. It makes complete sense that they’d open that if they own/manage the condo.
The OP didn’t really fuck up either. Anyone has the right to order kinky shit in the mail to their home. The company fucked up by leaving the name off. Next time, perhaps OP could order something like that to the post office for personal pickup.

wtf would you get embarrassed about it, what are you 15? Also you can't blame them for opening a package that didn't have a name on it, how did they know it wasn't for them?

The OP said they rent a single room in someone else’s Condo, so it’s still the Landlord’s address

Opening mail accidentally is not illegal. Actually, purposefully opening mail sent to your address but not addressed to you is also not illegal. Stealing someone's mail, intentionally diverting it, hiding it, these things might lead to criminal charges.

It’s illegal to open the mail of another person. Talk to your local police.

this a learning moment really. you are fine with ordering a dildo. what you do to you is your business. they are 100% in the wrong for opening it. i would lean into that. you have learned what kind of people they are. they are fucking assholes with no understanding of other peoples personal space, or the fucking laws.
