....because I do. My Aunt annoys me as she is obsessed with Facebook. She gets into FB fights with everyone (including me) over the smallest things like not responding to a post.
She also is obsessed with her camera and her looks. She frequently takes pictures of herself while doing poses. She also takes pictures of everyone even when they don't want to be bothered. I told my Aunt that I got a camera for Christmas and she was upset that I didn't bring it to take family pictures.
She tries to humilate me everytime she can. Whether it's touching and hugging around me when I don't want to be bothered. Plus, she won't stop calling me "Frankie" when my name clearly is "Frank". My Dad is also named Frank, but I am 19 and her calling me that is an insult imo.
She really tries to get into my life even when I don't want her to. I know some of you might be thinking that I'm being too harsh, but it's my life and I think I should be able to share it with who I want and like being around. She always asking me about doing a sorority in college even though I clearly stated I didn't want to. She also aks me about girls and she will never understand that college is more than parties and girls. I'm afraid to tell that the one girl that I talk to most and like being around is a white lesbian.
I bring up white because she is very pro black. She saw my pictures with college white girls at Kent State. I guess she got mad because when we met, she asked if I liked white girls and do I like them more than black girls. That why there is why sometimes I hate being black, where is the law does it say I have to date/like only black girls? Anyway, that's my Aunt, anyone else have annoying family members or ones that are actually worse than my Aunt?

I've got two relatives that fit into archetypes quite nicely... the Drunk Aunt and the Creeper Uncle.
My aunt is married to my oldest Uncle, who was an air force colonel, and she had (just retired) a rather cushy well-off job with a major investment firm, and she would always make a show about whatever new toys she'd gotten, whether they were a new Lexus (always leased), new phones, you name it, as well as making a show of conducting business on her phone during gatherings.
Whenever we'd have Thanksgiving at her house, she'd always have a glass of wine in hand and get progressively drunker and more bigoted as the day went on. She also REALLY inexplicably and openly hates her son, even at gatherings where he's also there.
My uncle, of my three uncles, is the middle-oldest of the brothers, and still lives with my Grandmother... I don't think he ever moved out. He never married, he's always looked exactly the same... pudgy, potato-shaped, with glasses and an acerbic, creeper voice... Prides himself on being the most tech-savvy while still typing everything in CAPS LOCK and spamming my Facebook with Farmville and such. When playing with small children he's always played too rough and was bending my second cousin in ways that even a two-year old shouldn't be able to...
I think I recall hearing that it might be traceable to fetal alcohol syndrome, but he's had a myriad cornucopia of medical problems yet thinks he's in awesome shape. He's also known to force conversations to go into dirty ways such as drawing connections to "the time I was in a porn shop" and stuff like that... He's gotten worse now that all the kids from my generation are grown and he thinks he can get away with dirty comments more or something...

I've got one judgmental aunt that likes to snoop around into other family members' personal lives and then attemps to lecture them, despite the fact that she's got her own problems with gambling and hoarding (the repo guys came to her house one day and it took them god knows how long to find what they needed). But she's balanced out by my cool aunt, who likes video games, action/horror movies and cartoons.
I've also got one uncle with a drug problem that's always coming up with lamebrained money making schemes that don't work if he doesn't eventually just lose interest. He's countered by my flight attendant uncle who's possibly a bigger Cards fan than me.
Then there's my..."promiscuous" cousin. She's not balanced out by anyone, she's just an embarrasment. And I'll leave it at that.

My aunt tries to tell people how to live their lives, and is not shy about how she speaks to you and where she does it. I try to get along with her, because I want to stay positive, but after I was in the hospital after having a seizure (and being in an induced coma), she told my mom only to help me with bills just a little bit so I dont "break" her... (while her kids are in their 30's and are only just becoming independent)

Yep, my uncle. Always gets really drunk at family gatherings and just generally makes an ass of himself. In one of his drunken states, he cussed out his mom (my grandma) and called me a...well, it's a derogatory term for gay people that begins with F. (which didn't really make sense because I'm not gay.)

If you just have one annoying family-member you should consider yourself lucky.

I have an annoying cousin with an obnoxious accent on top of it.
There's also this one aunt I have who's just a completely miserable person and has done a lot of horrible, manipulative, and outright cruel things. She's a pathetic excuse of a human being.

I have more than one, and what they do exists in a place beyond annoying. Annoying would be cute to contend with. With my family it's always something bad. Lies, back-stabbing, betrayals, insults, cruelty, manipulation, mood-swings, holier-than-thou speeches, hypocrisy to extremes, emotional abuse, etc.

Not a blood-related famly member but nobody in my family can stand my stepdads niece. We put up with her but it's really grating.

Yea...that nosey aunt that gets in everybody else's business and tries to tell them what to do, despite the fact that she's got problems out the ass? That's my mom all the way. She's also incredibly easily offended and very very spiteful. If she feels that "something about that just isn't right", no matter how minute it is, she will make a big f***ing deal out of it.

I have a younger cousin that's always getting in trouble with the law and should be going to jail but has somehow avoided it thus far. But the rest of the family at this point honestly hopes that he'll get butt-raped in jail and hope that'll change his behavior.

Hyper 7 year old nephew whose Mum loves to spoil him rotten but whose Dad yells at him if he so much as blinks. With that much of a screwed up balance you can't really blame him, but yeah. Oh, and NEVER watch a movie with him, you'll never hear so many questions in your life.

Yup
My Auntie, she's one of those sorts who tries to act posher and richer than she is. She's fairly rich (Not a millionaire or anything but fairly well off), but it's from marrying a wealthy man and not by her own work yet she acts like she's descended from royalty. Looking down her nose at everyone else, speaking in a false posh accent, claiming to be from a posh village rather than a grimy mining town etc. It's extremely annoying.
