15 Times Meeting the Family Was Funnier Than Any Movie Script
Meeting your partner’s parents is always a stressful event that often turns into a sitcom scene, where you become the main comedic character. Here you might accidentally break the wall with your elbow, get covered in tomato juice, or discover that your soup bowl is actually the dog’s. We put together 15 hilarious stories that prove: the main thing is not to make an impression, but simply to survive!

We’re sitting at the table, and suddenly he pulls out a box with a ring and drops to one knee in front of me.
I’m in happy shock, and his mom looks at him wide-eyed and loudly says, “Son, what are you doing?! We agreed to invite Maria’s daughter over tonight to introduce you two. Why are you in such a hurry?” To say I was shocked is an understatement.
I gave money to a homeless old man a few times. He never asked for anything, I just felt sorry for him.
And here’s the thing: I met my future in-laws at the train station (it was our first meeting) and took them home. We arrived at the house, walking to the entrance. And suddenly, this man pops out of the trash bin and, grinning from ear to ear with his toothless smile and waving his arms, shouts at me, “Hello, son!” My mother-in-law was stunned.
