    So what's the most embarrassing thing YOUR parents have ever done to you?

    Was chatting to a mate earlier and somehow we got onto how our parents embarrassed us when we were younger and how now, through the power of being a parent, we are reaping revenge by winding our kids up in front of their mates, and yes, I am an evil sod.

    But anyway, why wind up your kids? Apart from it's immense fun... well it's prolly cos that's what my parents did to me, either intentionally or unintentionally.

    My worst example was when I was 20 or so, not long before I moved out. There I am sitting in the lounge having a cup of tea with the girlfriend who I was buying a house with and in walks my mum who drops a pair of very brief knickers in my lap with the absolutely loaded question of "Who's are these then?"

    I just denied all knowledge... though the truth is that they were the previous girlfriend's and we had hunted high and low for them at the time as we weren't sure which room of my parents house they had been pulled off in... but you can't say THAT in front of your current girlfriend or your mum.

    Re: So what's the most embarrassing thing YOUR parents have ever done to you?

    My mum, while on holiday many years ago, embarresed me by taking the salad home from a meal we had out that I'd not eaten, in her handbag, to save money. Three slices of tomato and a lettuce leaf, in a serviette, and into her hand bag, cos she'd "brought them so she was taking them"

    This however, is not the key moment of embaressment.

    That occured a DECADE later, while I was Sales Manager of a Dealership, when a quiet shriek from across the showroom occured. The Receptionist was opening the post, and one addressed to me had smelled weird, so she'd opened it....

    and out fell a slice of tomato.

    My mum had posted it to me from Devon, it had taken 4 days to arrive, and still had salad dressing on it. And it was signed "Eat your Salad Dear, Love from your Mummy"

    Re: So what's the most embarrassing thing YOUR parents have ever done to you?

    When I was about 16, my mother (who'd had far to much of the holiday spirit), told me quite matter of factly not to have sex on the bed because it squeaked to much and to try the chair or against the wall, so she could get some sleep. My girlfriend was mortified and a lovely shade of Ferrari red.

    She's never had the nerve to try and embarrass me since

    When I had my last gf round my Mum brought out the photo's of me as a baby and then the one of me naked in the bath aged 4 or something, I went a really bright shade of red.

    One time A few years ago as a joke christmas present I bought my GF at the time an electric toothbrush which i turned on and put in the box before giving it to her. She went bright red thing it was something else and hit me in the family jewels. anyway this was at my house and my mum who had been on the christmas punch said it did sound very similar to the vibrator she used to have. I was mortified.

    Re: So what's the most embarrassing thing YOUR parents have ever done to you?

    I'm struggling to think what was the most embarrasing thing my Mum has done, there's just too many. My Dad is pretty reserved and dignified, my Mum is a nightmare.

    I remember being at a family New Year party when I was a teenager, and I was quite glum because I'd split up with my first serious girlfriend. One of my aunts told me to cheer up in the usual "plenty of fish in the sea" way and my Mum, who'd had a few sherries, remarked "He might be sad but I'm delighted, his room is above the kitchen, and when I was cooking dinner when she was there, it sounded as if the roof was going to cave in above me". She went into further detail, but I'll spare you!

    Another time I was sitting in the living room with another girlfriend, who I hadn't been going out with long. She had a pretty short skirt on, and my Mum noticed the girl was wearing stockings. Mum then made a big fuss out of that "Oh, it's nice to see someone old-fashioned" and asked if it was hold-ups or if she was wearing suspenders! My girlfriend got a bit embarrassed, and tried to change the subject, so my Mum went "oh, it's nothing to get embarrassed about, Cilla Black wears them" On that rather bizarre point we tried to make our escape, and as we went upstairs my Mum said "enjoy yourselves". Mental!

    I don't need parents to embarrass me, I'm perfectly capable of doing that all by myself

    Exactly. Once, maybe twice you can 'accidentally' catch your parents at it, if it happens again, you wanted it to happen.

    OiD liked watching his parents having sex.

    The perv.
