Cringe!Chickenlady winces, "I told a Hugh Grant/Divine Brown joke to my dad, pretending that Ms Brown was chewing gum so she'd be more American. Instead I just appeared to be still giving the blow-job. Even as I'm writing this I'm cringing inside."
Tell us your cringeworthy stories of embarrassment. Go on, you're amongst friends here...

A relative of an exstated her intentions to buy a new PC.
I offered to go with her so she didn't get sold a lemon.
She politely told me that it wasn't necessary and that she'd be fine.
She returned from Dixons a few hours later with her 'new' PC.
This was in 2002 or 2003, so XP had been out for a while.
Something didn't look quite right with the laptop she'd bought.. kind of old fashioned...
"I got a good deal on it", she exclaimed
"It was the manger's special"
The manager's 'special' was an ex-display machine running Windows 98. Just.
It'd been upgraded from Windows 95, and judging from the specs even THAT was pudsing the machine to the limits of it's capabilities.
She paid £680 for it. SIX. HUNDRED. AND. EIGHTY. POUNDS.
Dixons, at the time, had a policy wherby if a product was returned with 2 different faults within 6 months they'd give a refund by way of vouchers.
It's amazing what you can do by applying a 9 volt battery to various laptop components...
