I'm sure most families have one of these. I'm welcoming the opportunity to rant about them.
For me, it's not just one family member. It's an entire clan of them. My aunt, her husband, their two kids and their son's girlfriend. The aunt is really the biggest problem. They're very rich, and my aunt is completely uptight and snobby. The younger ones have lived their entire lives privileged and don't seem to understand that not everybody can afford to live as lavishly as they do.
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.
I won't go into too many examples, but just on Christmas here's what they did. The rest of us started talking about Target, and how much we love it. My cousin's girlfriend leans into him and says, "Yes, some people actually DO like to shop at Target" and they both rolled their eyes.
My aunt has made it perfectly clear over the years that she doesn't give a crap about my brother or I. On my brother's birthday, he went over to my grandmother's house while my aunt was there, and she didn't even say hi to him. She gives us these gifts that are honestly more offensive than if she hadn't got us anything - stuff that makes it clear that she, at the last minute, pulled something random out of the house that they weren't using and tossed it in a bag for us.
They're just rude, selfish people. My uncle actually isn't even a problem, but he never speaks up and asks his wife to stop when she starts being condescending toward the rest of us. She was so rude this Christmas that once my brother got home, he started crying. He's a 32 year old, generally emotionally stable man - and this woman reduced him to tears. She's just awful.
Anyone else have a family member like this?

Same here. My aunt and uncle-in-law purposely raised her younger kids to be "slower" than other kids (didn't teach them how to read or talk in complete sentences, etc.) to collect disability money, and they taught the older ones how to sell cocaine. There's a lot more awfulness to it, but f*** em. They're the kind of people who, if you offer to give them a couch or something for free, will ask you to drop off the couch, carry it up two flights of stairs, and then carry their old couch down the stairs and drive it to the dump for them

all of my dad's sisters are snobs. Most of them are can be easy going but the oldest is the worst. She has this idea that everybody should share her opinion and if they don't it's because they are "being foolish". She does everything from throwing out pictures without asking if anyone wants them all the way to telling people they are holding their baby wrong. She's my dad's big sister so I try to be nice. But she has turned her back on me in mid sentence on more than one occasion
She is all about having the best things and when you do comment on how nice something is, she always has to tell you how much it cost.

Well, lets see:
on my mom's side of the family, two of my cousins are leeching off my grandmother. while some do nothing but bear hunt and spend a ton of money on that while still living with there parents.
my dads side is mostly alright. i never met my grand pa, or his side of the family which sucks. my cousins wife is a real f***ing bitch. she is the reason I never see what used to be my favorite cousin who would always hang out with us. she constantly bitches, she is dirty, a f***ing slob of a person and just a down right asshole. she has this stupid face she makes when you try to tell her something that looks like " what the f*** do you know". has no job, leeches off my cousin and his mother and father who also bought the house after my cousins divorce so she live there almost rent free. complains about the house and other things.
and i can take all that and deal with that. until this: she accused (kinda passive aggressively) my mom, of neglecting and hurting her child.
f*** that.
my mom is a god damn saint. she can't bring herself to hit a dog but oh this dumb c*** believes that she would hurt a f***ing baby. the kid ended up having some kind of condition that caused a bruise to form under her eye. still waiting on that apology bitch.
that hurt my mom's feeling and she has pissed off about every other family member in the family. the good side is she doesn't come around us anymore so we got that working for us.
end rant. needed to get that off my chest. ill go back to my random post again.

My grandmother is the one that causes problems at our family gatherings. It's weird cause when I was young, she seemed nice and all there in the head.
After my grandfather passed away, her true personality was shown all the time and I found out how mean she is and how she dispises the family.

Nobody really seems to ruin family gatherings or anything like that, but there are a few people in my family that have some serious issues in my opinion.
My uncle - Very nice guy and also pretty funny. He has a charisma surplus which has helped him become very well off financially despite never going to college. The problem is that he comes across as condescending a lot of times. For instance, last Christmas: My mom was talking about how she had taken my little sister to the Nickelodeon Hotel in Florida and how much fun they had doing all the stuff at the hotel. My uncle relentlessly made fun of her for the next 10 minutes or so because they spent all their time at the hotel rather than going to theme parks and whatnot. The hotel is pretty expensive and full of fun things to do, but he couldn't wrap his head around that.
My aunt is a generally cool person, but has some of the worst kids ever. Her oldest son (my older cousin, and one of my best friends honestly) has done things in the past such as dropping out of college but pretending to still go, getting fired from a job but pretending to still go and impersonating one of our dead friends online.
His younger sister (20) is currently telling everybody that she has a job at the hospital in town, when she's really been unemployed for years now. Her younger sister (9) stole my 11 year old sister's DS, and the 20 year old helped her hide it. She got caught because she came over here asking if she could have the charger for the missing DS, and we investigated and busted her ass.
My grandpa will often make rude comments when we visit. He's returned gifts as soon as he's opened them also.
All in all my family's not TOO bad, but definitely not the most functional one on the planet.

I have a 14 year old couson who has beena royal bitch as far back as I can remember....every family gathering she literally picks fights and punches someone, at X-Mass me, for like 10-20 minutes, during which you tell her stop and she says will and doesn't
the kicker: her father knows this and doesn't do jack shit about it
I swear at Christmas I almost went off on her and told her to "knock that shit off, grow up, and get some respect you bitch"
no one in the family likes her

I had two drunk uncles who would mooch off of m grandma and any family member that had a laps in judgmental. One of their drunken brawls got my mom thrown in jail for no real reason. One of the drunk uncles died in 07 and I didn't feel a thing.
There are other members of the family I have issue with, nut I need a nap and a snack before I tackle that obstacle.

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.

We all ruin it as a joint thing. My 16 year old sister will overreact to a joke someone has made, stomp off, and start pitching a fit. My mother will ignore that she's done anything wrong, like always. I and my older sister will freak out and wonder why nothing is done about her horrible anger issues. My dad will then proceed to chug down an entire 6 pack and then throw a chair at someone. Then two years later, me and my older sister will retrospectively LOL at how hilarious the whole thing was.
It's like a family tradition.

Not really a family member, but ever since my Grandfather died, my Grandmother has been alone so we thought it was good when she found a friend. We were wrong. He's an absolutly self obsessed dick, who interrupts conversions to tell everyone about his "Thrilling" stories, he's an uneducated moron who thinks he's intelligent & is quick to correct anyone on mistakes, usually with wrong information.
The real kicker was earlier this year, my Grandmother, who's condition has been deteriorating for quite a while, had a breakdown & he said he couldn't take care of her anymore, so my Mother & Uncle had to phone up an old people's home on short notice at about 6:00 in the evening & book a place, only for him to change his mind because he needed someone to go to Florida with!
Now whenever we go to see her, he's either at her house or she's at his. I just refuse to talk to him now, but he still tries to shake my hand, so I just look at it & walk away.

I have an aunt who ruins everything. She's a nasty evil woman and she is rotten. A horrible person. She has a nasty mouth on her and she will say the cruelest things to you - if she knows anything about your life she will use the most hurtful moment of your life to go on a rant against you or to hurt you. Sometimes she will just hurt you just because you exist. She's also irrational and very mean-spirited. You have to walk on eggshells around her at all times. You never know what mood she will be in when you see her. If she is in a good mood, you cannot expect it to last because something will set her off and she will then go on a rant that is stunning.
She also hates my existence but that's another story.
Anyways, she ruined every single Christmas that we spent with her. The family used to go to my grandparents every year and each year something would happen. Sometimes Christmas Eve would be nice because her mood would be good (other times it was hell because her mood was bad) but it was guarenteed she would snap sometime during the stay and it would turn to crap.
She would rant about me, or my mom, or the both of us. She would badmouth her sister (my other aunt) and her entire family. She'd come out with some really cruel things. You can't rationalize with her. If you try, she'll accuse you of being a traitor or being a fool for not seeing the "truth" (as she sees it).
God I could go on and on. You would not believe some of the stories I could tell.

My step-sister is just a flat out bitch, no other way to put it. Its like she tries to ruin the day, good mood, or anything at all. If she was a dude I would probably but the shit out of her. Its that bad.

Then when she got here, our personalities meshed perfectly and she was awesome. Pretty sure she is my actual mom and my fake mom stole her while I was an infant.

It's my entire family (taking more my father's side here, since I never see my mother's side).
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.
A short exchange from a family dinner, once :
"We're not very nice people, are we?" "It took you THIS LONG to figure that out?"
