Fuck that.
My father is currently in Belize building a school or some shit. He's 70 in a couple of months. Plumdozer is in his 30s and yet still walks around with Metal Mickey shit stuck in his face, and dresses like some bent sk8 kid.

Do you do things you really should have packed in years ago had you any dignity? I know I certainly do. Perhaps someone you know embarrasses you with their refusal to age gracefully.

Tell us your tales of embarrassing parents etc.

my father in law has no shame, when in a traffic jam in the South of France on the way to the alps he decided he needed a pee
as we were in the outside lane he hopped out and peed on the central reservation, unfortunately the queue started moving and he ended up running after the car peeing and flapping about.

my cousin's first holy communion
dad is bored and dad is loud. he is flicking through the programme.

"ETHAN," he "whispers" to my mum, oblivious of the church factor. "ETHAN. what sort of a fucking name is ETHAN?"

at which the annoyed man in front turns around and hisses, "actually that's my son." dad is unphased and he does not get embarrassment. or apologies.

"well i've never heard of it." and they eyeball one another, each clearly thinking the other stupid and ignorant.
