We all have done something embarrassing, there's no doubt about that. But, when you do something embarrassing in front of your parents it's the absolute worst!
That’s An Unusual Birthday
“It was my brother’s 18th birthday and he went out with some friends. After returning home, he started unwrapping the gifts he had received (in front of my mom). To one I said, ‘It has been wrapped really nicely.’ On opening the gift there was a box full of chocolates. I started grabbing some chocolates only to realize that the chocolate was a guise and the box was actually filled with condoms. My parents are very frank and open minded with us and after realizing the mess my mom commented, ‘Throw it out.’ My brother called my friend and found out that the gift was a part of a prank and it was supposed to be opened at the restaurant. Yet this was not the end. We faced more embarrassment when after returning from the office, my father asked, ‘Son, what gifts did you get?'” Source
GoT Addict
“My mother is a very religious woman so she doesn’t take it very well, we used to fight a lot in the past, but since we adopted a don’t ask, don’t tell policy things settled down a bit. But my mother is also a Game of Thrones addict. So one day we were both watching an episode where Little Finger is at his brothel talking to Ros, while she’s performing sex with another female prostitute and things got very awkward. I was very uncomfortable sitting on the sofa because my mother began to repeatedly to stare at TV screen and then back at me in a very disapproving way, I could clearly hear her thoughts shouting ‘so, that’s what you do?’ We were both so embarrassed, but I just left the room and we never talked about it.” Source
Go Study!
“I was dying to watch that movie and happened to know that my neighbor was playing it the next day. I asked my dad’s permission and even invited him to watch the movie. Short intro about my dad: highly conservative, over protective, typical Indian dad. That evening, my neighbour’s home was flooded with his friends and relatives. Around 15 of us started watching the movie. I was thoroughly enjoying the movie, the gigantic ship, colorful visuals and what not! Slowly, that adventurous movie about a shipwreck started transforming into a love story. So, whenever there was a lip lock or some ‘scenes’ I would pretend as if I’m yawning and engage my dad into some sort of forced conversations (yes, I was clever kid). Then all h*ll broke loose. Kate Winslet undressed and started posing for Dicaprio! Mannnnnnnnn..I ran out of tricks for this scene ! My dad stood up and started scolding my neighbour. He ORDERED me to go and study for the exams (it was summer vacation). With a heavy heart I went to my home, opened a random book and started preparing seriously for my next annual exams.” Source
Change In The Bathroom
“Since I don’t like putting my clothes on in the bathroom, I come out in a towel and change to my normal clothes in my bedroom. Our house had a single common bathroom. Also, it was strategically placed such that you have to pass through the living room to get from it to the bedroom. One day I stepped out half naked and in the living room I saw a horror like no other. Sitting in the living room was my crush, her mother and my mom. Seeing her I panicked. I tried to play it cool and started walking towards my room. With all the drama, I forgot to wipe my feet on the carpet so it was quite wet. The freshly washed floor tiles didn’t help either. I slipped and fell on the floor, sliding along like an airplane which had just crash landed. My towel came off as I slid. The next few seconds seemed to play in slow motion. It felt like an eternity. In my panic to get up, I slipped again. Somehow I got up, took the towel and ran into the room. All the while, I was completely naked. Needless to say, I could never look at my crush again. My mom of course was making a mockery out of the whole thing and laughing at me, but it definitely was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me.” Source
Come On Mom
“It was a great year for me, I was 23, freshly graduated, had my own place for the first time, and in a relationship with a really amazing girl. It was this relationship which would shortly become the source of the single most embarrassing moment of my entire life. My relationship with her was marked by passion, fun and lust more than love and affection. Consequently, ours was a highly sexual relationship. Long story short, we found ourselves enjoying a good session. She had me naked, tied to the sofa, blindfolded and was being very liberal with the application of honey before licking it off. The first I knew of something being wrong, was my girlfriend screaming and running off, followed by the slamming of our bedroom door. Then, in tones of barely suppressed laughter, I hear my mother’s voice: ‘Bad time for a visit?’ If that wasn’t bad enough, while my mother goes to find something to throw over me, I hear my front door close, followed in short order by a shocked gasp. My mother had come to visit, with my grandmother! I was eventually released to get cleaned up and dressed, but the embarrassment didn’t stop there. Oh no, far from it. Because you see, both my mother and grandmother are stereotypically female in their need to gossip. So, as if being caught with my pants down and basted like a Christmas ham wasn’t bad enough, by the end of the week, everyone knew about it. It was more than a year before my two best friends stopped with the ‘honey monster’ jokes.” Source
Think Of A Better Name Man
“Unfortunately I had kept that movie inside a folder named unimportant on my Desktop. My mother used to play cards on my computer since it was the only computer in my house that time. Murphy’s law had decided to teach me a lesson. My mother who doesn’t know anything about computers, she only knew how to double click on the shortcut of Solitaire. I had never thought even in my wildest dreams that she would open that folder and open Euro Trip out of all 30+ movies that were present on that that folder and would drag the seek bar of the media player to the very nude scene in the beginning. As soon as I came home from classes she charged me for watching vulgar things. I tried to defend myself and opened the movie again and dragged the bar to long ahead of the said nude scene of the movie to show that there was nothing in it. But as I told you, Murphy’s law had made its mind, it ended up at the scene where several nude men started chasing a girl at the beach. Seeing this my father started laughing and mother was burning with anger. But that’s not all, I dragged the seek bar even ahead and it ended in another nude sex scene inside the confession box of a church and it broke all the patience of my mother and she started shouting furiously. It was hell of an embarrassment and it was hell of a week.” Source
Latch The Door
“Hey, don’t judge me. In my defense, I was in ‘my’ room. I just didn’t latch the door. Anyway, while it was embarrassing, I couldn’t just leave it hanging. I had to have the ‘mature’ discussion with my mother saying that I was grown up, yada yada yada. She made me swear that I shouldn’t share such pictures with anyone and let me off the hook. So, yeah. That’s that.” Source
Make Out Session
“So I was about 10 and one fine day, my young self saw an actor and an actress kissing in a movie. Now I didn’t quite understand why were they doing this but I did like it. So when my favorite actress at the time appeared on the screen I couldn’t stop myself so I went up right up close to the television and started kissing her lips.I was kissing her for a minute, all with lips movements and my new learned expertise. Completely passionate. And of course, my mom walked in. On seeing me, she couldn’t control herself and started laughing hysterically. To date, if there is a kissing scene and we are watching the same movie she can’t control her laughter and starts mimicking what I do. I walk away at home, but I’m stuck in theaters! With nowhere to go.I carry this burden for the rest of my life.” Source
Ikea Loveseat
“One day my parents and I went to Ikea. There was a little furniture display just outside the entrance, where my mom and I paused along with a few other customers to have a look: ‘Loveseat on sale for $_.,’ a sign proclaimed next to a white, two-seater couch. Me, thinking I was soooo witty, jokingly said to my mom, in a very loud, piping voice, ‘What’s a love seat, mum? Is it where people make love?’ The look my mother gave me was enough to curdle milk and freeze the blood in my veins. My brain fired off frantic ‘Mayday! MAYDAAAY!’ signals, and I quickly shut up after that. I was too little to understand that ‘making love’ meant, well, ‘having sex.’ I thought love was merely an innocent concept akin to unicorns, rainbows, and sprinkles. I don’t know if my mom remembers that, or if it was overshadowed by the many other embarrassing and awkward instances I subjected myself and my parents to over the years, but I still cannot walk into an Ikea without cringing in embarrassment.” Source
Life Vest
“When I was around 14 my family would always go to our summer house. It was on a river, and we all adored tubing. Me especially. So one day, my siblings had gone off and I was bored. I begged my dad to take me tubing, just me and him. He finally said ‘yes’ and I ran down to the dock to begin setting up the tube. We were on the water for about 40 minutes, him driving and me screaming and laughing as the tube whipped around the water. As we pulled into the dock, I took off the life jacket and said ‘Woo! That was fun.’ I was wearing a drawstring bikini, one that provides little support. What I hadn’t known before taking off my life vest was that one of the limp triangles I had depended on to cover my breasts (or lack thereof at 14) had slid all the way around to my back. So there I was, with half of my bikini on the other side of me. I didn’t notice this for a good thirty seconds. Unfortunately, my dad did. ‘Maura, watch your uh.. your boob.’ I looked down and couldn’t breathe. I quickly reached down and fixed myself. I tried letting out a ‘oh look I’m laughing at myself’ laugh but it probably sounded more like the early stages of a stroke.” Source
Awkward
“It was an epic party. It was the kind of party every kid wants to have, the kind of party that is depicted in movies, but rarely happens in real life.The difference between a movie party and my party was I didn’t try to hide it. I told my parents that I wanted to have a party before I graduated, I wanted to have a live band play, I wanted to invite a lot of friends and have beer. To make room for the band, all of the furniture in the family room was moved into the garage. To say the party was successful is an understatement. I was pretty lit, and at one point went into the garage with my girlfriend to make out. Remember, that’s where all the furniture was! So we were on the couch in the garage and she was giving me a BJ, but some friends were outside and knew we were in there and they were banging on the garage door and laughing. After telling them to knock it off a couple of times, I started getting pissed. The next time there was a banging on the garage door was the last straw. I pulled up my pants, ripped open the garage door and was surprised to see my dad standing there. My girlfriend was laying on the couch half undressed, my pants were unzipped, and I looked at my dad and said ‘we were just talking.’ Ha! That’s all I could think of! But it was so obvious. He very calmly said ‘This is your party. I suggest you mingle with your guests in the house.'” Source
Big Fan Of Legos
“In 6th grade, I was still playing with LEGOS, and still had many toys in my room, when all the other boys were transitioning to movie posters, music, girls, cars, or sports. My parents urged me to put all my toys up in the attic. And in an attempt to ‘be cool,’ I sadly packed up my toys and said good-bye to them. After a while, though, I would still get the ‘itch’ to go and play with my old LEGOS. Over the next few years, I occasionally would sneak into the attic when nobody else was home and play. 9th grade. High school. I eventually wondered ‘Why not bring the LEGOS into my room? I mean, if I hide it in here, who’s going to know?’ Brilliant! I put them in a drawer in my room, inside a bureau that was rarely used. Then, one day, my mother storms into my room. She sees that the clean laundry she gave me some 2 hours prior is still in a pile on the floor. ‘Why is this laundry still out on the floor? Is it seriously so hard to put it away?’ I shrugged her off with a: ‘Yeah, mom. I’ll do it in a minute.” That wasn’t good enough. She swooped down, and grabbed a shirt from the pile. ‘See? Is it really that difficult?’ And with that, she opened an empty drawer in the bureau, and stuffed the shirt in. I jumped out of my chair. My mood immediately went from ‘whatever, mom’ to ‘YES, I’LL DO IT RIGHT NOW, JUST STOP!’ My mother’s no idiot. She could tell that something big had just happened, and that I was probably hiding something. She immediately started grabbing more from the laundry pile, and putting it into empty bureau drawers, while I protested and started trying to do anything in my power to make her stop. But it was too late. She opened the next drawer, and found it. No drugs. No Playboy magazine. She found a box full of LEGOS.I turned beet red. It was immediately clear that this is what I was hiding. My mother had no clue how to react. She was getting herself geared up for a treasure trove of mischief or vulgarity, but hadn’t for an instant thought of what in the world she might say about this. Nothing in her arsenal of motherhood had apparently prepared her for this discovery. So she gave me one final, half-hearted comment: ‘Well, clean this up.’ And then left me to wallow in private, utter embarrassment.” Source
