Love, Embarrassing and Parents: First impressions

First impressions

By medik - 23/02/2010 12:51 - United States

Today, I went over to my girlfriend's parents house for dinner. This was the first time I was meeting them, so I bought a $70 bottle of red wine to try and impress them. I tried to be smooth while popping the cork. I did, but the bottle slipped and red wine poured onto their white carpet. FML

Today, trying to impress my in-laws, I put a lot of effort into selecting a nice bottle of wine for dinner at their house. When I got there, I gave the bottle to my wife's mother. Later, my father-in-law emerges from the kitchen to berate his wife over her poor choice of wine. It was mine. FML

Today, I threw a party at my girlfriend's house before her parents came home from vacation. After the party, I found all of her mom's favorite wine glasses broken. I spent $500 on new glasses, and wrote a huge apology for the party and the damage. She got home and told me that they were already broken. FML

The mouthfeel

Today, I went to a wine tasting for the first time. I copied the experienced people around me by swishing the wine around in my mouth, which I then choked on and spit out all over my white blouse. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's mom. She went on about how my girlfriend's dad is a no good drunk, following this statement with spilling her fifth glass of wine. FML

Pissed

Today, after cleaning my house, I decided to treat myself with a glass of wine. I poured the wine, set it down, and came back just in time to see my cat push it off the table. I then yelled at her, which scared her so much she pissed on the carpet. FML

Today, it was my first day at work as a waitress. The day ended with me owing my employers money, after I accidentally smashed an expensive bottle of wine on the floor. FML

Spillage

Today, while at a restaurant on a date, I spilled red wine on the white tablecloth. The waiter came over with a new one, saying, "Don't worry, it's not the first time someone's spilled wine here." My date leaned over and whispered, "It's the first time someone's spilled it on me, though." FML

Today, I had my first real meeting with my girlfriend's parents. We had dinner at a pretty upscale restaurant and everything was going great. When the check came, I offered to pay and I stood up to take out my wallet. When I opened it, 3 condoms fell out on the table in front of them. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were visiting his parents. I'm nervous around them so he encouraged me to drink so I'd loosen up. I got so drunk I tore up all the things in his old room I thought were from ex-girlfriends and accidentally flashed his dad my crotch. FML

Today, I went on a blind double date. My date was drunk before I got there. He kept getting my name wrong, and ended up spilling a glass of red wine down the front of my dress. FML

It cost you $70 to prove to your girlfriend's parents that you're a wanker. FYL.

it landed on her mom... Excellent hand-eye coordination, pal. Just don't ever try to give her parents a hug. Ever.

Now her parents are thinking that when your own cork pops, the results will end up in their daughter, instead of in the condom.

That sucks, but accidents do happen, hopefully they won't hold it against you.

^ I love that I'm not the only one who thought this. The best part is when they ask you to remove your shoes before walking on it. I "forget" to do this every time I go to my friend's apartment.

That happened to me a few years ago over Christmas dinner at my boyfriend's parents when I knocked over my glass of red wine onto "the good white table cloth" and part of the carpet. Fortunately, I remembered that dousing the stain with white wine helps (believe it or not). I didn't use any carpet cleaner but the stain has disappeared, and the table cloth was good as new after running it through the laundry. So next time, pull out the white wine and pour away! :)

OR if you put baking soda on a spill right away and let it sit over night you can vacuum up the baking soda in the morning and the stain will be gone. This trick has saved my security deposit on my apartment so many times
