Hanging out with your SO's parents can be stressful, but the levels of awkward present here are off the charts. I guess the moral of the story is keep your face cleaner to yourself? Or don't be an awkward dad? Not sure, but someone definitely screwed up here. For more stories of awkward, here are people's most shameful and embarrassing moments.

If you've spent any time in the world of retail, you're familiar with the type of customer who, no matter how wrong they are from the start, will never take no for an answer. They will be rude and insufferable to employees for nothing more than the satisfaction of "winning" a social interaction. Well their kids don't like them either.
The internet is not kind to the unreasonable adults who lie to and berate people in customer service. Abusive people like this are not-so-affectionately referred to as "Karens." While we've heard many stories of this kind of frustrating behavior, we often forget that many of them have families; some who see both sides, and some who are just ashamed.
The most notable fail in this since deleted tweet is that Dad shared his thoughts to SOCIAL MEDIA. How mature is that? If that's really how you feel, I'd let that emotion ride, and keep whatever your dark thoughts are about it, off social media, where your son might be able to read it one day.
Nobody's family is perfectly normal, but some people's families are more interesting. And maybe not in the best ways. Some are more trivial and embarrassing, like liking pineapple pizza. Some are family shattering, like secret families. Reminds us of this girl who figured out her family secrets by taking a blood test in college.
You'd think after a few years of her mom having an "eye disease", she's catch on after like, at least year 10. Apparently it just never clicked? What can we say, parents lie to their kids all the time, sometimes not even for a good reason. Here are times parents lied to their kids just for a goof.
Back when we were stupid-ass kids we thought we could pull one over on our parents, but dear god could we not. And that mortifying moment when they figure out you've screwed up hard core... it's like your soul is leaving your body. They shouldn't expect much from us, here are times parents realized their kids were utter morons.
As you get older, it becomes more and more clear that your parents didn't really know what they were doing. Some lies were rooted in real concerns our parents had for us. Some were just hearsay. And in some cases, they were just trying to make fun of us. Thank God we have Google to undo what our parents did to us. Anyway if these made you have flashbacks, here's some more lies parents told their kids.
Imgur user and adept Photoshopper bonebowl was able to catch his young son doing some pretty impressive things for a young man his age.
He says "Our son was born premature 9 weeks early weighing just under 3 lbs. I like to joke that he wasn't premature, he's just advanced. So I took some pictures of him doing some manly grown-up things."
Sometimes the roaster needs to become the roasted. This is the perfect example. The dad in this scenario, met his son's LEGO tournament with an onslaught of dysfunctional. How about next time you show up, and give your son, who's doing his thing your vote of confidence, or remain silent, and keep the show off social media for you to collect self-appreciative retweets like the man child you are, next time? Just a thought.
