Embarrassing things parents have said/doneI was having this conversation with a friend earlier and thought it would be interesting to read about some more cringe-worthy stories.
For example, I remember one time when I was 13 and was walking home with a friend after school when I happened to bump into to my mum. She was like 'oh my gosh you haven't zipped up your coat on a cold day like this- a big girl like you still struggling to zip up!' and she actually stopped me did my zip for me in front of my friend
And I find it incredibly embarrassing when my dad decides to sing aloud in public-especially when he gets the lyrics wrong and the whole thing out of tune...
There's actually like 10 billion more stories, but I can't remember them just yet. Feel free to share
Oh, and there's that time when my dad started to crack his fingers when my history teacher started to talk to him on parents evening. Why??Last edited by haverstock; 05-02-2012 at 12:35. -

Re: Embarrassing things parents have said/doneMy friend (friend A) was talking to my other friend (friend B). Friend A was saying how a girl at my school had lost her virginity having a one night stand with a 27 year old to friend B. Unfortunately this girl had the same name as me and my mum was listening into their conversation. Now my mum like traditions and needless to say she was not happy. At the time I was in Tesco getting some food and my mum ran in and at the top of her voice shouted "YOU LOST YOUR VIRGINITY TO A 27 YEAR OLD! TELL ME YOU USED A CONDOM!" At this point everyone looked round. That is probably the most embarrassing experience I have ever had..

Re: Embarrassing things parents have said/doneLast week my Dad visited me at Uni, he stood beneath my bedroom window (I'm on the 2nd floor) and began belting out an 80's power ballad, trying to get me to come to my window.
Not only did I come to my window, so did quite a few people in my building... and those in the one opposite.
And he wouldn't stop singing it, he was enjoying the attention.
He also had my mum give him a mohican before his mum came to visit, baring in mind she was an 80 year old Irish Catholic, she practically had a heart attack upon seeing him. He also wore a massive black shaggy wig to pick my aunt up from the airport, and crept up on her, she screamed so loud that people stared.
If me and mum are in hospital waiting for an appointment, she'll strike up a conversation with someone nearby, and proceed to tell them the reason I'm there, and my entire medical history. The last time she did this, I was waiting to be seen by a Gynaecologist...Last edited by KJane; 05-02-2012 at 13:09. -

Re: Embarrassing things parents have said/doneA few things that stick in my mind:
My mum writing down my orthodontist appointment down in the wrong date in her diary, so we showed up a week early.
My dad has loads of cringe worthy sayings, one being "yeehaw" urgh. -

Re: Embarrassing things parents have said/doneSpur of the moment! It's not a regular thing, a car came unexpectedly, and my mum grabbed my hand and marched across the road. I was like 'omg, what if my peers see me from school!'. I was very embarresed.(Original post by TheStudent.)

Re: Embarrassing things parents have said/doneok, mine is terrible! a few years ago, I was 16, I was in a pub with friends in Italy, attending a quiz night. We were on fire actually, cause we could win a journey to Egypt. It was 11pm and my dad was supposed to pick me up by that time; fate wanted my dad to forget his mobile phone at home, so he couldn't call me when arrived to the pub. He entered the pub, asked the DJ to call me out and yes, exactly, the dj said: "Chiara! miss Chiara! there is someone for you!" and there he was, my dad, with ridiculous bermudes and a donut smile. No way!!!!!!!!!!! ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF MY CITY SAW THAT -.-
