Oh, Parents...

Twenty-six year old product manager Wayne Landgraf thought it would be a good idea to bring his parents to work to introduce him to his colleagues. Not only are these colleagues the people he sees every day at work, but they are also the people that hate his guts. It is said in the article that most of his colleagues go through great lengths to avoid him, and occasionally manage to find an empty room where they are able to gossip about the man. Wayne decided that his ma and pa should put faces to the names he talks about so very often. He hoped that his parents would mostly be on his side, but, oh, was he wrong. At the end of the day, Wayne found his parents entertaining his fellow workers with stories about (sorry for the language) "how much of a little a****** he was as a kid." Why do parents always manage to embarrass us further, or even worse, to do exactly the opposite of what they're supposed to do? The pain growing inside Wayne Landgraf is felt by many. The most surprising part of all of this is the fact that someone took the time to actually write an article about this man and his stupid problems.
