Embarrassing moment ::
Here are 5 guys on their cringiest moments in front of their partner's parents:
1. “This was on Thanksgiving. Her entire family are like, gourmands. They love to cook or bake or grill. And they all have like, a specialty. Anyway, I knew going in that I was walking into a Thanksgiving dinner that would ruin all other Thanksgivings for me. If you’ve ever been in that kind of a house, where cooking is serious business, it’s overwhelming and intimidating. I tried to make myself useful, but I got the kind of jobs that were like, ‘Go get more ice.’ You know, stuff for people who can’t cook. At one point, somehow, I was asked to check on the turkey because no one else was around the oven. I had no idea what I was looking at, but I figured it needed more time. But I felt like that wasn’t enough so I said, confidently, ‘It needs another hour.’ In my head, there was no way it wouldn’t need that. The turkey wound up burning, although in my defense, it didn’t burn that badly. But enough that it upset all these five-star chefs. They were so polite but I wanted to fake food poisoning and leave. My girlfriend wouldn’t let me. Now we’re married and we’re all comfortable enough that me ruining Thanksgiving is a running gag.” — Dylan, 26
2. “We were at [her parents'] house for dinner, and they both left to take the dog for a walk. And I thought I heard the door open and shut. To better illustrate it, my girlfriend and I's backs were to them, and the front door was sort of around this little lip, but if they hadn’t left, they could still see us. So they were putting the leash on the dog or whatever, and I thought I heard them leave, so I slapped my girlfriend’s ass and said something about having sex later. I don’t remember the exact phrase, but I was just playfully teasing and it usually makes her laugh. But I’m sure you realized at this point they didn't leave. So to them, I just spanked their daughter and announced that we’d be f*cking later in front of them. Her mom stared at me, horrified, and they rushed outside.” — Tim, 25
3. “We went to her parents' to visit them for the weekend, and at one point her dad asked me to drive him to some sporting goods store because he needed clubs. This was in the middle of winter. The other thing to note is that her mom’s cooking really upset my stomach. So I’m locked in a car with her dad, and it’s just us and I can’t roll the windows down and I can’t. Stop. Farting. Look, it’s a natural function and we all do it, but he probably thought I needed to see a doctor by the end. They were all silent, but they definitely smelled. I’m hoping he had a cold but he never said anything to anyone, to my knowledge.” — Dan, 28
4. “Her parents had a pool, and every summer they do a little family reunion-cookout thing. I was playing around with her nephews and did a cannon ball in front of them. My bathing suit came off. I guess I didn’t tie it up. I came out of the pool without realizing it immediately. I basically jumped in, shot up to the side and came out in one smooth motion. I realized almost immediately and jumped back in. But for a split second, I was nude in front of most of her relatives.” — Michael, 26
5. “I pretended to be an avid golfer to get her dad to like me. He then decided to take me out golfing. I figured it’s not so bad, I can take a crash course and if I’m terrible, I’ll just say it’s been awhile since I last played. It was just after I had graduated college, so I had that excuse. Turns out, we were golfing with two of his buddies, and I held up the game constantly. I was obviously terrible, and they had to wait for me. I was missing swings, hitting it into the woods, everything someone new at golf could possibly do. Divots everywhere. They were all pissed and kept heckling me. I’ve never been golfing since.” — Eric, 28
