Incredibly Embarassing Parents?

[smearyllama]

Since I've started to be mature enough that he can no longer be a bad influence, my dad has seen fit to no longer act mature around me. He talks about inappropriate topics (such as how he really should trim his eyebrows) while we're riding in the car.
I can't punch him, since he's driving, and I can't get out of the car, so that leaves me stuck with him.

So, has anyone else encountered a particularly embarrassing parent?

 

[Stammer]

Even to this day (I'm 21 year's old for crying out loud) my mother still tells every single person she knows every embarassing thing I've ever done, and she does so repeatedly.

You just wait until your dad thinks you're even more mature and he starts cracking jokes about having sex with your mom while you're all standing in the kitchen. Those are always some awkward moments.

Well, my dad's been sterile since after I was born, so I don't think that'll happen any time soon.

Much of what my parents do would be considered embarrassing to most people. I, on the other hand, often join right in. I am not easily embarrassed by things most people would consider embarrassing. Singing 80's pop songs out loud in the middle of a store? I do it all the time. Talking about the odd stuff I did when I was very young? Not embarrassing in the slightest. Weird nicknames? I don't mind in the slightest. Pop culture references that no one gets? I often make those too.

My parents love to embarrass me and my older sister a lot. While when I was little it got to me, it doesn't really anymore because I don't react how I used to when they'd tell embarrassing things and that made it less fun for them.

My dad whoops and hollers and slaps his thighs at every fart joke. Yeah, he's got some pretty low IQ. He stutters too. Not embarassing but certainly annoying.

My mum goes to the toilet while she's on the phone. And lets the dogs in with her. *cough*

 

[burningdragoon]

Short answer is yes. Though I can't think of anything in particular at the moment.

Even to this day (I'm 21 year's old for crying out loud) my mother still tells every single person she knows every embarassing thing I've ever done, and she does so repeatedly.

I mean... that is a mother's job.

At least you have parents who care.... Mine basically gave me up for adoption, but it was to my grandparents, but I can't complain, I've had a good childhood.

OT: As long as it's not in public, it should be fine, right?

I suggest spending a bit more time with your dad, but doing the things you like to do

 

[Griphphin]

A comment like that is a challenge! You need to fly back at him with a comment twice as awkward and up the ante! Face him and pry from his eyebrow-shaving hands the title of most embarrassing to be around. Works for my dad and I

Though speaking of embarrassing, one night years ago my brother and I were sleeping over at a friend's house, and we walked back to our house to get an extra pillow, only to catch my parents in the throes of passion on the couch downstairs. Not a fun night >:|

 

[Hollock]

my parents don't embarass me but I have nobody to be embarassed in front of

 

[Rooster893]

It's all happened to us, once or twice. Or maybe 1000+. (Unfortunately for me, it's the latter)

 

[Marter]

My parents have consistantly shown up drunk to my soccer games.

 

[Vault101]

To be honest I think my parents are embarased by me....

 

[tkioz]

My grandmother feels an insane urge to tell people about every meaningful thing I've ever done, only exaggerated all to hell.

Once attended a meeting with 30 other people, one of whom happened to later become a minister in the government? Suddenly the story is I "worked closely" with him on a project... I didn't even speak to the man!

Once played a minor part in a project? To her tell it I planned, organised, and built the damn thing single handily.

I feel like such a douche every time she does it.

My father looks like an emaciated version of Jeff Lebowski with a more preposterous haircut. And a broad Hungarian accent. Also, I think he was a lecturer in some previous incarnation, because once he starts talking about an esoteric topic, he will go on for hours.
My mother is extremely nervous in social situations, has an even more noticeable accent and dresses somewhat peculiarly.
Car journeys are oftentimes excruciating when a friend of girlfriend is present; dad has the whole incessant talking thing, and my mother drives in a really terrifying manner.


Reasonably embarrassing, then. Still, I'm thankful for everything they've done. I'm sure I have embarrassed them on many occasions as well.

I think I can officially top anything else anyone else's parents have done:

Before I got my boyfriend, whenever I was out shopping with my mum (we do that a lot it seems), I used to get talking to people quite a lot. Whenever one of those people was a guy roughly my own age, my mum would walk up and go "nice to see someone's interested in my son. he's a bottom ya know"

that's right. in the middle of public areas, to guys i'd just met a matter of minutes ago, she'd blurt out my preference in sexual positions. Yet she still wonders why nothing ever came of me talking to those guys...

Hell, announcing I'm a bottom is only one of the things she's eligible to blurt out. others include "he likes guys with big dicks" and "he's very good at head". and if you can think of anything else uncomfortable to say in that vein, she's said it at least once.

Well, it was a private discussion...but getting advice from your father on how to impress the ladies, that he got from his father.

Awkward moment there.

That almost sounds like an attempt to force you into heterosexuality by taking away some options.

On the other hand, it could be a good way of winnowing them down...anyone that still talks to you after that is definitely a keeper.

"No barebacking"?
"He puts out on the first date"?

My mom is an extremely loud person. She's pretty much an attention whore, too. So she's always really loud and laughs loudly at even the most mediocre of jokes. She also likes to dance to music played in shopping centers.

Also, we went to a charity ball (a fairly uppity event) and she was grinding on my brother-in-law.

Yes, and yes. Actually her ones aren't word-for-word that, but close. For example: "no barebacking, no matter how much he wants it".
