I love my dad but how could he embarrass me like this?
The most embarrassing thing happened today. My dad took me and my older sister out to lunch. Well my dad walks into the resteraunt talking on the phone really loud and we were sitting in the middle of the room. My dad had his chair turned out talking on the phone loud, legs open like he was in a freaking sports bar. I wanted to die. Then when the waiter came my dad sat there for ten minutes making the waiter stand there because he couldn’t find something with both a burrito and beans (we were eating mexican) and he was complaining it wouldn’t be enough food for him omg! Anyways finally he orders and my dads friend who he hasn’t seen in a while comes over and they are sitting there talking all loud and what not and I’m trying to figure out WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU WE ARE IN A FLIPPIN’ RESTERAUNT YOUR A 43 YEAR OLD MAN NOT A 5 YEAR OLD USE SOME MANNERS!! I love my dad but now I’m kind of afraid to go out to eat with him. I don’t know what to do.

Haha your dad sounds just like mine! No, I swear, sometimes my dad is even worse.
Picture this: to dinner at Chili’s, he wears black t-shirt, black shorts, black sneakers, and white socks up to mid-shin. He’s loud, and makes sure everyone can hear what’s going on.
The scenerio: my mom had called 45 minutes previously to secure a table. We arrive, and the people say that our table isn’t ready, even though we gave them plenty of time to prepare. My mom, sister, and I all walk out into the cold [it was winter] but my dad stays inside. After about ten minutes, my dad comes back out, saying that he got us a table, only after much bickering with the hostess and a short chat with the manager. So we go in, jump ahead of a ton of people, and take our seats.
I think one of our appetizers was wrong or something, and my dad made the manager come out so he could talk to him personally. Long story short, the manager gave us all this free stuff, but I was so embarrassed. Then, my father just walks up to people that go to our church and strikes up a 20-minute long conversation with them, frequently complaining about cigarette smoke. He invaded the one kid’s personal bubble, snapped at people he didn’t know, and walked up to more people acting like he knew them. Even though the food was excellent, I wanted to die, especially because the place was crawling with cute guys…
But that’s just ONE of my father’s infamous events.
Tell him nicely how you feel.
If you say it in an innapropriate fashion, he can spank you bare bottomed with his hand or even worse a belt.
Was it a fancy Mexican Resteraunt?
You should of said shhhh!!!! to him quietly
Buy him a book on ettiquite
Does your sister feel the same way? If so try to talk to him together, if you can. Just be real calm about everything and tell him you were bummed because you were hoping to spend time with him but he talked on his phone and to his friend instead of talking to you two. Take that approach and see how it works. More than likely he didn’t even realize he was doing it. Let him know you wanted to spend time with HIM not him and his cell phone. Good luck.
Maybe you should tell your dad how you feel. If he is an understanding guy than he will understand and try to act better when you are with him. If he just gets mad than explain that you would rather not go out to eat with him anymore.
my dad acted like he was a special person in the mall in front of everyone! but it wasn’t to me it was to my aunt! try avoidin hime for a few days he will get the message or be up front. what ever works for u gurl!!!
I think you should tell him how you felt while he was being loud,tell him that you wish he would of realized that he wasn’t being very polite and that you are afraid of going out with him to lunch again.
Good luck ; )
No disrespect but that sounds hysterical. Maybe because it sounds like my boyfriend, sometimes you just have to let natural consequences be the teacher, meaning maybe he’ll realize he’s being rude when someone at the restaurant says something. Im with you though, it’s so embar-assing!
I would have told him while talking on da phone 2 lower his voice. But if he ever invites u 2 go eat wit him again tell him how embarrass u felt today. but when u tell him tell him in da car in poilte. Hope i helped!
find a book or something on the net on etiquette and leave it lying around the house in places he’ll see it.
When he talks too loud, tell him.
When he’s sitting wrong in his chair, tell him.
When he makes the waiter wait…well just laugh, because you know it’s funny.
Just the other day I was in a fast food Italian place and my dad was talking REALLY loud. I just said, "dad, why are you talking so loud?" and laughed. He said that he just always does, but he talked more quiet and I didn’t hurt him or make him angry or anything.
that’s me when i’m older.
Maybe his hearing is not good and he doesn’t realize he is so loud.He also seems not to be bothered by what other people think,he is his own man.
You should have a short, simple and polite talk with him about his behavior.
You sound like a teenager. Last time I checked, teens were not the most quiet, and polite people on the planet. Everybody has their faults. You have yours, he has his, I have mine. Get over it.
