I don't embarrass easily. If someone I'm with is making an ass of themselves, that's not my problem. Besides, the inappropriate are much more fun to be around!
Oh God yes--my sister-in-law. What an epic bitch. I tried to like her when my brother-in-law married her. I swear, I really tried. But she's unlikeable. I've been dreading Christmas all year. She'll make sure everyone is as miserable as she is.
I hear ya sweetpeanc: the kind of people who grunt at you over the salt & pepper shakers. That's why my hubby and I are going to Bali for the week before, and after Christmas, and back for NYE. No family BS! And the nice ones we'll see before & after anyway.
I don't give a fuck who I'm seen in public with. If someone is being a dick head, that's on them. If it's someone close, like family, I will tell them as much. In a nicer way though.
Just the reverse actually. I have an uncle that I could pretend wasn't with me/us if we were in public, but at family gatherings he's just right there being his assholey self.
Had a freaky cousin show up and decamp in my guest room last weekend. Longest 3 days of my existence. He spent all his time photographing "chem trails" over the house, he's documenting them for his website! : /
Honey, I have a whole family of them! But nobody forces me to do anything, so I refuse to spend time with them over the holidays. We usually make a point of going overseas for the holidays, or working through (always a nice excuse not to be guilt-tripped into doing anything we don't want).
Blake : me too! When I was single, following my mother screaming at my step mum and my dad, I boycotted Xmas and spent it with other Xmas "orphans". It was the best ever. Sort of do trips, work etc if things are hairy with certain family members. They get crazy? We get airfares.
My mother in law, crazy ass evil irish woman. I refuse to she her after her last 'episode' it's been 8 months, and my life is so much better without her twist self in it
My uncle is schizophrenic, and lacking adequate teeth. He loves going to Kentucky Fried Chicken. Let's just say I shall never darken their door again this lifetime after joining him for a meal. I did not eat, thank goodness. Glad he enjoyed himself...
No, I *am* that relative.
ReplyDeleteHa ha Merlin! Love it!
DeleteYes, we don't speak because she stole my class ring.
ReplyDeleteGot ya beat, Lotta...my no-good cousin stole my class ring AND my ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-boyfriend's pinkie ring. Took my eco-friendly hemp bag, too.
ReplyDeleteDid they eat your PB&J Sammy too?
ReplyDeleteI have relatives that go to the store and get paper AND plastic!! I, of course, only use reusable bags

@VIP...do they put the paper bag inside the plastic bag? :)
ReplyDeletenot a big fan of most of my relatives, I am sure they feel the same about me.
ReplyDelete@Sugar That slut ate my PB&J sammy, too!
ReplyDelete@Mouse, was she a 40 year old virgin?
ReplyDelete@7: 37.5! Such a slut!
ReplyDeleteI'm that relative.
ReplyDeleteYeah. They had sex on prom night and I didn't so I'm still mad about that.

ReplyDeleteLuckily, no.
ReplyDelete@Seven of Eleven - it is not possible, according to Miley, to be a 40 year old virgin. However, 40 is the age when women stop having sex.

ReplyDeleteNo thank God. Almost had a brother in law like that, but they didn't get married.
