Embarrassing dad stories

dttq

Anyone with embarrassing stories while growing up to do with their dad. One of my own most embarrassing was at a gathering involving friends and relatives. All the younger people, friends included stuck to their own section of the dance floor. However about half way through my dad, p!ssed drunk barges into our group, singing and dancing. I swore to god id never bring my friends and dad together at an event again after that.

Twas my 11th or 12th birthday and my dad brought myself and a few of my mates to the cinema to see Groundhog Day. My dad regularly gets names of things and people confused sooff he went up to the ticket office and asked for 5 tickets to "Hedgehog Dog". Scarlet so I wuz back then but now it makes me smile and warms the cockles of my heart. Where did he pull that one out of!

My dad is great craic altogether, and while I might have been embarrassed by him from time to time as a kid, you really shouldn't be as an adult.

Absolutely no problem having my dad at events where my friends are and he enjoys a drink too!

He's rubbish in bed. Unlike Uncle John.

A couple of years ago my dad ran up a €400 internet bill watching ploughing competitions on youtube.

When I was a kid, we had a sh1t brown ford escort. My dad used to drop me to school in it and insist on driving right into the centre of the boys yard (i'm a girl). It used to mortify me. They'd all shout "here comes the sh1t-mobile". :pac:

My sixty year old father is currently trying to pull off the leather jacket look some thirty years too late. Insists on wearing it everywhere in public. Fecking mid-life crises!

My dad used to hide the telephone under a tea towel when people came over as he didn't want them to start asking "could they make a phone call" - he always denied to neighbours he had a phone until one day he had to explain the ringing tea towel (this was in the late 70's):D

My dad is a cheeky git. He used to drive me to school when I was in primary.

There was a bus stop that all the secondary kids would be waiting at as we went passed. If it had rained, there would be a huge puddle on the road right at the bus stop. There was loads of room to not go through the puddle but guaranteed, my dad would get that glint in his eye and plough right through the puddle! Soaked all the schoolkids standing there. Every bloody time he would do it!

Suffice to say, those secondary school kids had my card marked. So, I chose to go to a different secondary school out of the area.

I love my dad

I think c*nt is a far more accurate term.

Hercule Poirot

I remember when I was a young child we used to have a Parent's race (mostly Dad's) over 100m on our school sports day. Dad never used to go because he was usually working away, one year he was home for it so I begged him to go and like a pure trooper he stepped up for the Parent's race only to come stone last - he wasn't asked to come again

You could get away with it in those days though, try doing that now & someone would have you reported.

I wouldn't be embarrassed. I'd abhor my dad if he did that.

Would he like if someone did that to his kids?

My stepdad bought a bbq a few years ago and thought he was gods gift. He came up to my friends one day and said 'did he tell you how many bbqs weve had? 5 or 6!!' like it should be one the six one.

Saying that my now girlfriend was there so maybe he had it right. Chicks love guys whos dads bbq.

westendgirlie

You know what, bowing out of this thread. Lighthearted and exaggerated story from me and my dad isn't and does not deserve to be called a ****.

Your dad would do that to kids :mad: Lovely...

I can't stand when people do that, It happened to me and my son when he was a baby in a buggy and the two of us were soaked to the bone and full of mud. I was looking out for that car for a long time after, probably just as well I never did spot it, would of turned into a crazy lady :eek:

Ditto , but add to that story, un-beknowns to my father there was a couple of hens on the back of it. Course they escaped outside the school gates.

Cue Benny Hill style sketch ..

I remember back when I was 16 I bought a ticket to see Radiohead play in Galway before I asked for permission. When I got home I asked my mum if I could go and she told me to ask my dad when he got home from work.

As soon as he got home I asked him, he flat out said NO. He then asked me who the band was, I told him and he guffawed at the name RADIOHEAD. After much pleading he remained firm and said I was much too young so no chance.

I told my friends the next day and one of them suggested we should all call up to the house and ask him. If he said no again John would say his parents were letting him go and Emmet would say his parent's were letting him go. My dad had just come back from having a few pints and wasn't in the mood for us snot nose kids. He was standing there in his vest looking at my friends and told them

"if you know what's good for ye, ye'll **** off home or I'll bate d'lot of ye.... ****in' RADIOMAN, that's one stupid ****ing name for a band!!!"

Lollers

After my parents split up, my dad who was a bit too old for the dating scene, would try terrible chat-up lines in the most random places. More than once he used to fill in his lotto numbers while standing next to a lady, and with a wink he would ask.

"hi there, you don't know tonights Lotto numbers by any chance ?"

Poor dad, it never worked.

One Christmas my dad fell asleep in the armchair after dinner and a brandy and started to snore really heavily. He was sleeping so heavily he didn't stir when we decorated him like a christmas tree, tinsel, LED lights around his neck, big red dots of blusher on his cheeks and bright red lipstick to finish the look. He helped us out a bit by falling asleep with a big santa hat on his head.

After posing with him and setting up vulgar tableaux with the dog and some teddy bears, we forgot about him and left him to his nap. Then the doorbell rang, woke him up, and he lurched out of the armchair and didn't clock he'd been made over. He opened the door to our neighbours and they were brilliant, they didn't give anything away.:D

Two hours later, he passed a mirror and nearly gave himself a hernia laughing, the rest of the place erupted with all the laughs we'd kept in.:)

spankysue

Was walking through town one evening near Christmas with my family when I was around 10. My dad had a few jars in him and he'd just treated himself to a harmonica, he proceeded to whip off the hat he was wearing, threw it on the ground and started busking for the craic.....the rest of us kept walking.

NegativeCreep

My dad insists on talking about me to his sisters and brothers over the phone like as if I'm not even there! Doesn't sound embarrassing but it annoys me

BTW, splashing kids with cars is feckin' hilarious!
I laugh when it happens me too :P

rubberdiddies

When I was in primary school and on a school tour my Da was one of two parents that came along to supervise.

I was so embarrassed that I didn't talk to him for the whole day and purposely avoided him in case my classmates thought I was a daddy's boy. Stupid I know.

How I wish he was still alive to embarrass me all he wants!

MaxSteele

The GAA disco when I was 14/15.

Walking out and there's the father. In his fucking navy socks and sandals waiting for me with a grin on his face. :rolleyes:

cuana

fcuk think my father has seen me at my worst this year alone!!

Well at a family gathering abroad we went for dinner & drinks so I had way to much to drink all was well until I got into the back of a cab & vomited into my bag

At a family wedding two days later I ehhhh hooked up with a fella of course it was the topic of conversation for all that I didn't stay in my hotel room that night

The oul lad in a restaurant asking for a steak with a "side saddle" (salad).

Other than that he's fairly quiet and doesn't really act the maggot.

Dad always had a talent for one-liners. Never intentionally funny obviously. A cousin of ours came back from Germany with his German girlfriend and the family were asking them about life in that there foreign land. The question then came to how they got around the place. He told us he used the train regularly. Without a second's hesitation Dad asked: "Is that not how they got all the Jews?". It was a genuine question but my head was buried deep in my hands at that stage.

Are you sure he wasn't just being really clever and telling them he wanted his steak so rare he could ride the rest home?

Vizzy

Not my dad but my friends dad(would have loved it to have been mine though)

He had a dog that he absolutely adored,Dog got sick and he brought him to the vet.
I met him when he was coming home and I asked him "how's the dog"
He says" oh the news isn't great,vet told me that he would have to remove his intesticals"

To this day I don't know what the vet removed.

Honestly not a joke. Happened when I was 11. I know Jim Jefferies has a Munich joke when he went to the World Cup with his Dad so I'd fully understand if you thought I was bull****ting.

Corruptedmorals

In a past retail job, they insisted a sick cert couldn't be posted. My dad went in with it with my directions. Long story short, he ended up in one of the shop windows facing onto a busy street and then ran out of an alarmed fire exit in his escape. Cert was successfully delivered to a manager on his second go.
