30 Cringy Things People Did That Gave Off Second-Hand Embarrassment For Those Around

Done! I had a summer job as a chambermaid in Kananaskis. One morning a couple of golf wives (you know the ones - they were those visor things that have heavy makeup stains all around the brim and spend half the day at the bar) stop by asking for more towels for their room . One of them says to me and a coworker (let's call her Mary), "Don't you want to do something else for a living?" Without missing a beat, Mary says, "Oh this pays for law school next year. I'm not waiting for a husband to buy my vacations."

Many of my friends worked extra to get some more cash when they did their PhD:s, and that's the highest education possible.

Oh this is some good material

I don’t understand why people are put down for working at McDonald’s. They are just as hardworking as others

A guy on a forum I belonged to about ten years ago mentioned that someone was too bright to wait tables. I told him my daughter was a server and she's brighter than he is.

I am sorry but if my mom (or someone I was going to eat with) was harrassing the staff in that way I would tell them to quit being a jerk or I would leave.

Your ex sounds fun. I bet you had some great times.

This is hilarous! If the coupon is expired, the system literally will not take it! I had some ladt go off on me once. Tuesdays was kids eat free night, she had two kids, so they ate free, but then wanted to use a coupon for her meal, okay find, the system automatically puts the two kids meal back on. She wnet ape s**t on me, I showed her the coupon where it literally says, "excluded on kids eat free night.

Here's an idea for every business that accepts coupons of any kind. Put a sign up that states if you have to be told more than once a coupon is expired, the amount of the coupon will be added to your bill for each time you insist it's not expired. Wouldn't it be fun to watch how many rack up additional charges. Maybe even give that amount to the employee as a tip for having to deal with these idiots.

Eat it, mom

Lesson learned: always stay a child at heart

Ground/tower and other pilots can still press their button and talk while your talking so this doesnt really make sense. Its called stepping on someone when you talk over them. No way the ground and tower wouldnt cut him off. They are crazy busy as is.

I'd love to listen to that song. Sounds catchy.

They could use the song to promote the plane.

That is hilarious and totally sounds like something I or a couple of my friends could get caught doing.

God, how old am I that I'm still dying over a good fart story?🤣 Once, I had an older client who went to lift her cat carrier onto the exam table and let out a mighty wind lol. Her cat was huge & we'd always offer to lift him for her, but she would insist on doing it herself. "gotta stay fit if I'm to attract a young biscuit!" she'd say. She looked at me, shrugged, and said "happens to us all if we're lucky enough to get old." I think about her often, too.

How I met your mother.

🤣🤣🤣

I don't understand why women try to pretend they don't fart. I also don't understand why its embarrassing. I think I have been around gassy men for too long.

Um... I think I am this woman.

Despite being a nurse and a mum and knowing all the things to do in a situation where I expect that kind of thing, I think if I saw it happen in front of me in a mall I wouldn’t know what to do or how to react and would just play the “let’s pretend nothing happened” card. I’m super impressed your dad had the presence of mind to offer his hoodie - what a guy!

Is anyone else thinking about the horror of having to clean the escalator after that stuff got smeared all over it?

Had someone do this at the library. He sat in his own s**t, checking his email until staff asked him to leave. Not sure what happened to the chair...

Very good dad.

Stop eating prunes!

I would have grounded him and after dinner, straight to bed and no dessert!

Thank God she ended things with that man-baby!

How do this kind of guys get girlfriends to begin with?

Geez...my dad used to send my hand-written letters back with red correction marks. I thought it was funny.

honestly, though, why would sh3do that in front of other people?

I was at the funeral of a distant relative. He had died of cancer and they had an open casket. Some lady was going on about how the funeral home had done such a good job. She turned to my Aunt and asked " doesnt he look nice?"My Aunt replied " hell no he looks dead".

In our particular diocese, lay people are not permitted to give eulogies at funeral or memorial masses. Since the priest had never met the deceased, I wrote up a eulogy to give him some background information. He read it word for word from the pulpit, telling the congregation who wrote it.

Attending my maternal grandfather’s funeral, a friend of his stood to say how wonderful granda was and how he had influenced this person’s life for the 10ish years they had known him. Unfortunately, they consistently mispronounced granda’s last name. We actually ended up giggling because it was so like him to have never bothered to have corrected his friend. I can still hear his broad Yorkshire accent… “just call me Fred”.

Ugh. My father was across the country from me when he died, so my stepmother had the funeral streamed in order for me to "attend". The pastor called my stepmom by the wrong name the entire time. I wanted so badly to hop through the screen, hug my stepmom, and deck the pastor.

When my brother in law died at age 27, his mom had a cousin, who was a preacher, perform the service. He called him by his middle name the entire time. And he was a relative!

Beep beep

Ouch!

I would be so devastated to hear someone say that s**t about me, I'd probably just burst into tears.

sounds like excuses are being made for unacceptable behavior and the one taken the brunt of the abuse was left standing alone. Not a good move folks.
