I believe I am the embarrassment.
My ignorant remarks. Her smart remarks to my ignorance.
When I'm rude to waiters/waitresses. When she exaggerates details of a story or event.
I stare a pregnant people when were out in public and nudge him attempting to give him the hint :p and he doesn't really embarrass me :p
Call him a douche bag unintentionally outside of work
?? I would love to hear the answer to this one! He needs to use the skin stuff I gave him.
i am too loud and a bit ostentatious. She doesnt have a good GK
When strangers do things that I find offensive or irritating, I have a tendency to make comments (under my breath or directly to them) and she prefers to avoid conflict for the most part. She embarrasses me when she uses words like "boobies" in public or tells people that we have three cats (I swear we're not THOSE kind of people, but that's always the assumption!).

Lol ok well when we go out to eat and he drops food on his lap, shirt, or arm I squirm a little lol Or we go to a fancy restaurant and he orders a beer while I have wine. lol Nothing TOO embarrassing but enough to make me tsk. lol I think I embarrass him when (in summer) I run away and leave him at the table on the patio because a bee was near me and wont come back until it's gone, or we have to go inside. lol And perhaps when I ask too many questions about the menu to the waiter/waitress. lol
Opening my mouth and spewing things that either make people laugh or make them dumber for ever having heard it.
I rib up my burger into pieces before I eat it. I think he holds his spoon funny. No big for either though.
I do really, really stupid things. Like ask dumb questions or not understand something. & I'll have to think about that & come back to it.
hahahaha sometimes I do the same hun

I have a New York accent and she's a linguistics snob. When she yawns, she looks like she's about to swallow the entire world... but in a cute way.
I think there is a lot that I probably do to embarrasses him usually social etiquette type stuff. (not spreading butter on bread in a restaurant but dipping it instead) but he seems to be mellowing out on some of that. Things that have embarrassed me in the past have been when he's used a "tone" or expressed anger/venom around other people...family...etc.
I chew loud. I dunno, I don't care what other people think right now, I'm busy.
