Embarrasing DH's

Just interested to know what your DH's do that embarrass you when out and about in public, I want to know its not just me and mine!

The worst ones for me are:

He talks to anyone, he will start up a conversation with absolutely anyone and will go on and on and on at them, this is usually people that are busy (people behind the tills in shops) or people that are obviously wanting to get on and not stand chatting - its made worse by the fact that he does it even if there is a massive queue, he doesnt seem to realise/notice or care that he's holding up queues etc, you see people rolling their eyes as we leave, including the person he was chatting too.

Another one is that he's VERY VERY open about every detail in his life, he tells people how much he gets paid, how many credit cards and loans he has, his minimum payments, how much they have left to be paid etc...he even told a completely stranger that we met on the internet etc etc! he makes people feel really uncomfortable and you can tell they're just not interested and are feeling awkward!

One of the most irritating ones is the way he gets money out in public, for instance we'll go for a meal and at the bar whilst waiting to be sat he will pull out a wad of money out of his pocket (never uses a wallet) and usually say something stupid like "kerching" and he'll then count it and start going on about how much he's spent that day, how much more he can afford to spend and how much he can put towards the meal etc. He somethimes makes this worse by pulling out money and saying something like "right, I have £25 here..." and then he'll go back into his pockets and start counting out all his change etc before saying something like "oh! and I have £10 in change which means Im pretty much loaded so Ill get a starter too!!" but he says it really excitidly and loud, it makes him sound about 12!

Lastly, he messes around so much in shops, in toys r us he'll pick things up and play with them, try to scare me with rubber spiders etc and runs around the aisles just making an idiot of himself, he's so loud with it too and quite often bumps into people whilst he's busy messing about which just irritates them! (and me!).

So am I nit-picking or do you have some examples of your DH's annoyingly embarrassing behaviour?

I really like the sound of him! I think he would be a good laugh and good company.

Some of the money stuff may be a bit vulgar but on the whole he sounds open and sociable.
