Had this bug for so long I got used to it, and then realized with a bug this easily recreated (I've had it happen literally on both Mac and PC, in both modded and unmodded games - at this point if I remember in time I'll have sims put their umbrellas away or do something to cover the object from rain or just... not have them woohoo even if they want to) it should be easy to fix. I know harder to fix bugs tend to be the ones that are not consistently encountered, but for me this is a 90% of the time kind of thing.
So anyway - tell a sim to woohoo in a bush when it's raining outside. Either or both sims automatically take out an umbrella. They close the umbrella to do the "let's woohoo!" animation. Once "in" the object, instead of the woohoo animation starting, it seems to me like one or both attempts to re-open the umbrella, and this kicks both of them out, reset outside the object without having woohoo'd.
Happens with both the bush and observatory. Haven't tried with leaf piles, but I'd guess the same problem would happen.
