There was a time when some of our hillbilly family members went to a big department store. They had never seen an escalator before. One of them tried to climb it like a ladder and got stuck halfway. The store employees had to stop the escalator to get them out. It was mortifying for the whole family. But looking back, it's also a story we can laugh about now.
My family has this story about our hillbilly relatives coming to a city wedding. They showed up in overalls and muddy boots. They didn't understand the formal dress code and started making comments about how uncomfortable everyone looked in their fancy clothes. It was a really embarrassing moment for the family at the time.
Well, once my hillbilly uncle thought a bidet was a drinking fountain at a fancy hotel. He put his mouth right under it and got a big surprise when the water sprayed out. It was so embarrassing but also hilarious.
Sure. One time, our hillbilly cousins came to visit during a family reunion at a beach house. They had never seen a flushing toilet before. They thought they had to pour water into it by hand like they did at home. So they filled buckets from the kitchen sink and started pouring water into the toilet, which made a huge mess.
Once, my little brother thought the dog's food bowl was his and started eating from it in front of our guests. It was so embarrassing as we tried to stop him but he just kept going, saying it tasted good.
One common hillbillies scary story is about the haunted cabin in the woods. Legend has it that a long - ago hillbilly family was brutally murdered there, and ever since, strange noises come from the cabin at night. People who've passed by claim to have seen shadowy figures in the windows.
Laugh it off. I mean, if you take it too seriously, it'll just be more awkward. Just chuckle about it and move on.
At a family wedding, my mom was dancing and she got a bit too into it. She accidentally tripped over her own feet and fell into the cake table. The cake was ruined and there was frosting all over her dress. It was a really awkward moment as everyone stopped and stared, but then we all helped clean up and laughed about it later. Well, after my mom got over her initial shock and embarrassment.
Another common embarrassing family story is when parents try to be cool in front of their kids' friends and end up saying or doing something really uncool. Like my dad tried to do a skateboard trick in front of my friends once and just fell flat on his face.
The isolation in hillbillies scary stories is often very scary. Since they usually take place in remote areas like deep in the woods or on a lonely mountain. It gives a feeling that no one can come to help if something bad happens.
Sure. Once my dad was singing really loudly in the car on the way to a family gathering. He thought the windows were up but they weren't, and people outside were staring and laughing.
Well, there was a time when my mom decided to redecorate the living room. She involved all of us in choosing the colors and the furniture. We had so much fun going to different stores and finally made the living room look amazing. It was a project that brought us closer as a family.
There was this time I went to a new restaurant. I was so excited about the food that I didn't realize my zipper was down the whole time I was ordering. When I finally noticed, the waiter was giving me a really strange look. It was so embarrassing.
