the awkward moment when my mum got stuck in an automatic door

[ormaybeitsjustnarcissism]

We all used to watch Would I Lie to You together, and Robert Webb came up in a conversation recently. Mum was trying to reference the episode where he'd made an imaginary group of friends called the guy-byes, except what she actually did was laugh and ask 'Do you remember the gangbang?'

The first time I spent an extended period of time with my boyfriends family was at his brother's wedding. He has four siblings and his parents wanted a nice photo of the five of them together, so I stood with them whilst they were taking it. His dad looked at them all standing there and said to me and my boyfriend's mother "God, my balls did great work!"

Mortified.

One Christmas my dad thought it would be hilarious to buy these indicator lights which you attach to your ears. He wore them around town lighting up his left ear when he wanted to turn left or whatever, i wouldn't even walk with him, but at least town is full of strangers. He then decided to wear them to a Christmas party where lots of friends and family were and show them off to everyone. Embarrassed isn't even the word

I got in trouble in maths, my teacher called my mum right there, loudspeaker .. And suddenly in the background 'bedrock lil wayne or someone starts playing. Awkward.

Asian parent + parent teacher consultation =

Teacher talks about behaviour, how I'm coping with the work, quality of homework etc..All this goes in one ear and out the other.
Teacher finishes talking and asks "Have you got any questions"
"What grade is he going to get?" He does this every parents evening.

That is quality.

Not parents, but my grandparents:

They come to where my family and I live every few months, last Easter they came down and we went to this relatively posh restaurant, anyway, they were criticising my mother and I as per usual I then said to them "this is a nice restaurant, we hardley see you so lets have a nice conversation where we aren't left feeling like rubbish" my grandfather responds (rather loudly) with "Well what do you want to talk about then? Sex?" just as a waitress walked past. Cue wanting to hide under a table

They tell everyone we meet the story of where I ran out an Indian bathroom crying saying the toilet got sucked into the floor!

My dad's been thinking I'm 15 since I was 14, even now when I'm 18 ;(

Every time I go to an indian restaurant with my dad he'll put an slight indian accent when talking to waiters

This. Ah, don't we all hate it

My mum was driving me back from an awards ceremony and the car windows were wound down. Just as we were passing a well build Maths teacher on the street she said loudly, "WHO'S THAT MAN WALKING AS IF HE'S GOT TOO MANY MUSCLES?" He then turned around and look straight at us with a "WTF?!?" face.

Omg, I'm actually laughing really loud ATM- quite embarrassing actually

My mum shouts personal things across shops at me ie "Get it several sizes bigger so it'll fit over your boobs!" and "What cup size are you, a C or a D?"

Last 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.

I would love my dad SO MUCH if he did this!!

We were out somewhere and my sister tripped and nearly fell.

Mum then proceeded to give her a short lecture on looking where she's going, following which she promptly tripped over her own feet.

'Annie, you must be caref-AAAAAAAAAAARGH'

Too many things to even begin thinking about. My parents send out an annual family newsletter, done up on Publisher like a little newspaper article, telling distant relatives and friends what we're all getting up to and making cringe comments like "Child X is discovering the wonders of retail therapy" and "Child Y is turning in to the family academic" etc. The thought of these poor people receiving these letters makes me want to curl up and die.

we do have names, not letters, before anyone cracks a joke there

Haha. Your folks are cute as a button. It sounds like a school project or something.

The whole convo was awkward but I was askin my mum if my boyfriend could stay in my room and that we wouldn't do anything cos my beds top squeaky so that would be embarassing - it's just nice to snuggle (we wait until the morning when my dads at work and my mum takes the dog for an hour long walk to do anything anyways). She then proceeded to ask me if my boyfriends bed was squeaky. I replied 'I dunno' (although it is )
