The post in another thread made me think of this since I think it's just the kind of lighthearted thing that needs to be in this thread.

So if you have some funny stories awkward thing happening between you and really anybody else, and would like to share here's the place to do it.
 
Maybe we need a Gender and Orientation subforum. I dunno what the OP is referencing, but I hope the title isn't referencing sex and sexuality.

Awkward moments can have a sexual undertone it's typically what makes them awkward.
 
Not really between parents or siblings but nevertheless kind of funny:

On this other forum from a long time ago, I had a (well-deserved) reputation for being this girl that was always lusting after the male posters. This one time I was talking to some dude. I dont remember how the conversation went but I am pretty sure I was begging to see a picture of him. He finally obliged and posted his picture. Underneath the pic, there was only one word, "salivate".

Ok maybe this wasn't all that funny but at that time I thought it was funny.
 
Back when I was a little kid ( about 9 ) my mom had this tradition where she would put various household chores in a hat, and myself , 2 brothers, and sister would draw papers to see who had to do which chores. One occasion, my younger brother ( about 7 1/2 at the time ) drew vacuum cleaning. So we proceed to do our respective chores. At some point, mom realized lil bro had been in the bathroom a rather extended length of time with one of those old Hoover vacuums with the hose thingy, and knocked on the door. Long story short, after some brief negotiations with lil bro, he emerged from the bathroom with his 'thingy' all swollen up and stuck in the hose. Mom unhooks the hose from the main unit, and off goes lil bro, mom, and Mr Hoover for a little doctor visit.

Poor kid. Lol.
 
As wonderful a man as my father was, he was no saint. He was a man typical of the "Mad Men" era.
If Don Draper had been a scientist instead of an ad executive, he would have been my father.

At the tender age of fifteen and a half I purchased his old 1969 VW Bug from him for a hundred bucks.

That evening I snuck the car out for a moonlight drive and, in the glove compartment I discovered the largest box of Trojans I'd ever seen. Not a single, not a strip of five or ten, this was a box of a hundred.
The next day dear old Dad made me show him that I knew how to check the tire pressure and the oil levels, etc and I asked about the box of rubbers.

Pops turned fifteen shades of red and purple as he coughed and hemmed and hawed in his thick German accent, "I put zose zeir because I did not vont yoo to get a girl into tr-r-r-r-ouble."

Yeah, nice sentiment except that the 100 ct. box was shy by about eleven or twelve. It had clearly been opened and some of the condoms removed, a "partial" box of a hundred. I said nothing about the fact that Pops had clearly been "testing" some of the product...in reality he had completely forgotten to remove the box before turning the car over to me.

A hundred condoms. Clearly old Daddi-O had been getting some major action on the side.

"Dude...---errr - -- Dad...teach me." :lamo

Did he ring a bell and were you raised by a kindly old man named Pavlov?

Reminds me of a humorous short story from National Lampoon Magazine. I think it was titled "Practice Makes".
I wish I still had those old issues, and it is impossible to find the story online, it was hilarious and it involved the protagonist "trying out" a vacuum cleaner with predictably embarrassing results, only he doesn't go to the doctor... but instead tries to tuck the accessory away and hide it before a social event, whereupon it releases itself in all its braided hose-y glory before a horrified crowd of onlookers. :lamo
