Well if I said it, they would be embarassed and the next time they go to a forum and someone asks "what is the most embarassing thing your kids have ever done", they'll have to write "they told someone else the most embarassing thing that we did to them" and then the next time I go to a forum and someone askss" what is the most embaras.....

Actually, I can't think of anything, should be interesting though.

I remember my mum walking into the room while I was on the phone to AOL tech support and she was talking to me at the same time that I was talking on the phone, asking me how I got through to them. She puts an outgoing call bar on our line to stop people from using the phone without asking her. AOL has free tech support, so I was able to get through without taking the bar off. But the fact that she was nattering on at me in the background, it was hard to concentrate on the subject on the phone.

That would be the most annoying that I can actually think of right now.
