Most Embarrassing And Dumbest Things That Parents Do And Say

I love my parents dearly but sometimes they nearly make me die with embarrassment with their antics. There must be some pretty iffy things your parents do. Unburden yourself by adding it to this list.
The Top Ten
1 Mum on car washes: "I know a place where they do good hand-jobs. Cheap too!"

I try to avoid voting for the top item but this one widened my eyes and dropped my mouth. Britgirl your parents sound just a wee bit ditzy.

The whole family turned, wide-eyed, open-mouthed in unison at her. She really had no idea how bad that sounded.

2 Dad starts frantic jogging on the spot after trying on jogging bottoms in a sports shop.

Oh God. I can picture being in this situation. Jeez. How embarrassing. And I hardly go into sports shops at all and just hate being dragged into one. Especially if this happens.

I pretended not to know him...until he shouted my name to "come and have a look at my jogging! "

3 Dad on his bodily outbursts: "I keep farting out my bum!"
4 Dad farts on upward motion on escalator

...so everyone walks into the stench! There's no escape.

5 When they pick you up and are overly pleased to see you.

This is so annoying and very embarrassing. The act so emotional like they haven't see me in decades.

If you're Asian this is very true when you visit relatives or when they come to visit.

6 Mum, on a woman talking about blindness in a radio interview: "She doesn't SOUND blind!"

Yeah, really! People these days... Not sounding blind.

And what about "she doesn't look deaf"?

What?! I despair. I do, straight! Haha!

7 "Sorry about him. He's easily embarrassed."
8 Start a random argument with random people
9 Headline in paper: MARKS AND SPENCER PROFITS FALL - (Dad:) "That's cos I didn't buy my pants from there this year."
10 Mum on Sharon returning to EastEnders: "She's just like a soapland coldsore - irritating and unsightly!"
The Contenders
11 Mum on the loudness of motorbikes: "You'd think they'd turn the volume down on those things, wouldn't you?"
12 Dance in the streets in front of you
13 "This isn't how I raised you"

And that's when she finds out you date a hot girl when an ugly fat one she likes asks you out

That is so annoying. Like, yes, this is how you raised me.

I hate when that happens. god!

14 Mum on One Direction: "Which one's Nigel, then?"
15 Call things you do "cute"

Is using this word embarrassing? Really? I've had it said to me and I use it quite often too. Oh...I think it's...cute!

(at family party)

Random relative:*tells toddler cousins that what I am currently doing is "cute"*
Me: *facepalm*

16 Speak to you in baby talk

My relatives are Asian and they CONSTANTLY do this to me, my sister, and my cousins. our ages range from 7-26 years old. Very awkward.

17 Start singing in public

We're Asian and my dad constantly sings karaoke during banquets in Chinatown. His singing is HORRIBLE!

Drives me nuts sometimes because they choose the worst places or they've already been Drinking

18 "You know son, in my day"

I find it funny when parents continually do this!

19 Curse in front of their children

My parents right here...

20 Enter your room without your permission

Snooping leads to touching, touching leads to moving stuff around, and moving stuff around leads to stealing. If I had snuck into their personal spaces, rearranged all of Dads tools, threw away all the books Mom doesn't read anymore, and took half of their possessions to give to Salvation Army without permission, they'd lose their crap too.

21 I ban you from video games
22 When they acknowledge a complete stranger
23 Tell relatives an embarrassing story about your childhood

We're Asian. My mom did it in public once at an Asian restaurant in LA. The other people at the restaurant could've heard what my mom said because she spoke it in Cantonese and a lot of people that were at the restaurant were speaking cantonese as well.

I covered my face and groaned in embarrassment. I WILL NEVER LIVE THAT DOWN.

24 Tell relatives lies about you
25 Yell at you in public
