Do you have a family member that is a complete embarrassment to you? Well my fiance has a half brother that we are embarrassed to be around. They have the same father, but different mothers, and they grew up in different households. His half brother is a very dirty person. For some reason he will not take a shower. We think that he is afraid of water. His hands are always black, and his hair is always very greasy, and he stinks. Well my fiance has told him many times over that he needs to take a shower, but he refuses to do it. We have tried everything, and nothing works. He has never had a girlfriend, and I can see why. The sad thing is that he is 45 years old!!We think that part of the problem is that he is afraid of water. His mother is an epileptic, so she tries to stay away from it, and we think that has rubbed off on him. We don't like going out in public with him because he is so embarrassing. Theres just no getting him to take a bath or shower, and I don't think he understands how bad he stinks. So my question to you is, do you have anybody that you are ashamed of? What are your reasons?

I don't have a family member that bothers me but I have an old freind that does not know that when she eats that her mouth is the hole in the middle. She gets food all over her face and upper lip so I hated going to resauraunts with her. It was very embarassing and she is at least 29 years old. It's like she didn't learn how to eat when she was a kid. She gets a single oreo cookie all over the rim of her mouth and I can't figure out how she does it. I haven't seen her in a few years and I don't miss the embarassment going out to dinner with her.

I don't have anyone that I can be ashamed of. However, my father is getting old and he doesn't want to take a shower. He has old age amnesia and he always say that he just finished his shower, sometimes for few days refused to take a shower.

I have a friend that irritates me a lot.Everytime we're in a group lets say having discussion she always interupt to once discussion even though the other is not yet done talking.So the tendency is we cant speak anymore cause its all his mouth talking and the bad thing is she talk nonsense sometimes.So if we're with her, everybody dont want to speak cause we all know she will just steal our chance of talking.but i still love her...shes so funny(lol)
