My brother hands down will be the one to ruin any gathering that he shows up at. Not always, but ninety percent of the time he will. The Thanksgiving before last, he showed up drunk and whatever else. He kept rambling on and on and getting mouthy with people. He kept trying to get me to drink, but I wasn't feeling the best and he didn't believe me. I don't drink that much and I really don't drink at family events, but he just kept pushing it. Finally he left me alone, but he was drinking beer like it was going out of style.
This year he shows up at Christmas late, looks like hell warmed over, and with a boyfriend. This is a n new development for him. I don't have anything against being gay, but this is news you need to break to the family so we aren't surprised. He got there, ignored his son that he hadn't seen in 6 years, offered me beer even though I was with my son and I had to drive, and didn't introduce anyone to his boyfriend.
I could go on and on, but it's mainly stuff like that.

Not a family member, but a former friend of mine ruins gatherings he is at. I've mentioned him before here.
**Upon meeting his future wife's Grandmother for the first time, he said to her, "My real dream is to f*** a midget. So I can spike her like a football and do a little touchdown dance." He did a pantomime of this. Really something you want to do in front of someone's grandmother. Real cool ...
**Upon meeting one of his bud's dad for the first time, he dropped the F bomb. My bud was embarrassed, I could see his dad was angry, and I wanted to apply boot to ass. But I showed restraint.
**On top of it all, he thinks he's a tough guy and always talks shit, but when push would come to shove and he'd try grappling with me, he forgets that I wrestled for five years and he didn't go out for any sports because he was a ... cat. So I tied him into knots on several different occasions. Bastard punched me in the shoulder one time trying to show how tough he was then whined for the next two weeks because he dislocated his wrist. ;D
**At a bar/restaurant where people were there with their children, when the waiter came up and asked us if we needed anything else, he pointed to his wife's best friend and said, "Yeah, can you call her a c word? Yet she won't allow me to tell her husband about it because he will track him down and beat the shit out of him, and she doesn't want that to happen because it will put a strain on her friendship with her best friend that he happens to still be married to. She can't stand him either, but she wouldn't tell her friend. Instead she threw me under the bus on several different occasions because she knows I despise him.
After a bunch of crap like this, I just stopped hanging around him. His wife tried to get me to hang out with him, but upon my finally relenting and coming over for some grilling after a movie I talked the two gals into going to (Iron Man), the first thing out of his mouth was "You want to f*** my mom." I wouldn't f*** his mom with a dildo attached to a brush shredder.
So I stopped hanging around again and the wife bitched at me. I ignored her. When I finally got pushed into a corner by him, I told him that I couldn't be friends with such an inconsiderate f***tard. She got mad at me. Thing is, he embarrasses her all the time and is a complete drain (besides all of that, he's depressed, doesn't work, got kicked out of school many times for his behavior, has diabetes and doesn't take care of himself and drinks hard behind her back. Plus in 2.5 months time he wrecked both his and her car).
Funny thing is, a few of us got together for a UFC Fight and before my bud stopped over, he made an appearance at her place. She bitched that the reason they don't get invited anywhere was because I was mad at him. When he said that, I shrugged and said, "If it means that much to everyone, I can stop coming over here so she can bring Captain f***stick (my nickname for him) over. All of them screamed out in unison "NO!!!!" ;D
At one point in time, I put up with his stupidity. But at one of our best friend's wedding dance, he crossed boundaries and I almost kicked his ass in front of his wife and everyone. Funny thing was, he was being a wise ass the night before his wedding and I almost kicked his ass in front of an entire bar full of people. I walked away both times. I'm way too old to be putting up with his juvenile shit.

If there's one thing my family loves, it's bitching about people behind their backs. If there's a second thing, it's arguing with each other. This for me.

My douchebag, ex-hippie uncle who turns every discussion - no matter how mundane - into a political rantfest. He takes the cake hands down.

it was a total buzzkill for the day, but during thanksgiving my one cousin wouldn't play frisbee with my brother, myself, and my other cousin, because "that's not what i'm paying my education to teach me" or some bullshit like that. hes normally an easy going dude, so that threw us off. its just frisbee.
on my mom's side, we don't talk to her brother because of how he has treated the family the last few years. my grandma had a stroke in july, but because of how she has treated us, none of us felt bad for it. last year was our first christmas without my dad, and grandma couldn't come out to see us because it would be too hard for *her*. nevermind his wife and three kids. we got nothing condolence wise from my mom's side when my dad passed.
however, we did become a lot closer with dad's side of the family. i don't have a bitchy aunt, or a dumb uncle that ruins everything. other than the frisbee story above, i can honestly say i look forward to seeing that side of the family when it comes to holidays or gatherings.

This thread makes me sad and yet amazed at the same time. If I had alot of these people expressed in the thread in my life I would have lost it ages ago, family be damned, and I like to think of myself as a patient guy. Wow!

On my family that would be me. It's not like i want to, but everytime they see me they try to pick on me because i'm not a christian, or because i don't stuff myself with the garbage they eat/drink/smoke/snort/etc every day, and i can just ignore them for some time until i explode.

They probably feel like you antagonize them, as well. Usually in a divide like that, the one person feels like everyone else are horrible, unwashed, uneducated, etc... and the others think the other person is smug, arrogant, judgmental, etc... I don't personally know if you do or not, but if you make it clear every time you see them how superior you think you are to them, it won't help matters.

My older brother. If I ever needed a reason to avoid alcohol at all cost, all I have to do is point at him. He cares about nobody but himself and thinks his opinions apply above everyone else's.

My dad. He has done many family get together faux pas over the years, but none will top the time he showed up to Grandma's house with an Asian hooker he had just married after knowing her for 3 days.

They look down on the rest of us for not being able to afford to eat organic food 100% of the time, stuff like that. Look at it this way, Citten. While they only eat organic food and you eat the normal genetically modified food, sprayed with pesticides and such, they're are more likely to get contaminated food with bacterias, such as e.coli, than you are!

My brother's wife. No one that's a blood relative of me (aside from my brother) likes her. But my family is too fake to ever say anything to her about her being a bitch. So on Christmas Eve when she told me that my opinion didn't count I told her "f*** you, you try to tell me what to say I tell you go make me and my brother a f***ing sandwich you annoying little *ABSOLUT ROSEBUD PICTURE*" Ahh the holidays. You kind of sunk to her level with the sandwhich remark. I'm sorry, but let's get rid of that as an insult towards women. It's not the 1950s anymore.

Well, he could always say what I'm going to say to my brother's crazy wife the next time she tries to talk to me. "If I wanted to hear you talk, I'd shove my arm up your ass and work your mouth like a puppet."

My ex wife is bat shit crazy. She would do all these attention-seeking behaviors as part of her particular brand of nutjobbery, and the end result was me feeling like I had to apologize to my family after every gathering.
