If you've ever been brutally dissed by your parents, you're not alone, as @AlannaBennett found out when she asked for examples of unintentional parental dragging.
Please tell me about a time your parents unintentionally dragged you within an inch of your life. I'll go first: Once in college my mom sent me a care package that was just acne face washes and the book He's Just Not That Into You

We were picking up my brother from school and he just got in the car and said "ugh I'm so handsome" and my dad went "who said that??". Turns out he thought my brother was quoting something but we still laugh about this unintentional diss to this day

When I got my 1st period I was visiting my estranged grandma w my dad. I begged him not to tell her why I had to run to CVS (to get pads). I called him to let him know I was heading to meet them & right as he hung up I heard him say to his mom “Oh, Rebecca? She had…an accident.”

this reminds me of the time in college my mom sent me a box with a banana bread she made (nice)…surrounded by Planned Parenthood brochures about STDs and losing your virginity. Yes, she works there…but STILL.
