The holiday season is a time to be with your family… unless you have to deal with these uppity in-laws. This family seemingly prioritizes tradition over kindness, and u/seriouslampshade was having none of it. In so many Christmas TV specials and movies, the message is clear: the holidays aren't about buying tons of stuff, they're about spending time with the people you love most. But apparently this person's in-laws never got that message . They're way more concerned with the way their gifts to…

This husband thought he was being a nice guy, but he really hurt his wife's feelings with the gift he decided to give her. The husband, u/Level-Parsley2953, was wondering if he's really a jerk for the gift he gave his wife. They're married and starting a family, with two babies on the way. The OP even got a second job to support their growing family, but this means his wife has been taking on more of the household burdens. That includes “nothing too major,” the OP writes. But the “nothing too m…

Sometimes it only takes one little thing to break apart a friendship . It could be something as simple as a text message — or the lack thereof, in this person's case. One thing you realize the older you get is that it isn't what people say that matters so much as what they do. That whole “actions speak louder than words” sentiment is totally accurate. There are only 24 hours in a day, and if someone makes you a priority, they're taking time from their day to include you in their life. People ce…

No one knows how to push your buttons better than your own family members . It starts when you're children, but even once you're grown up, the same people who you love more than anything can still get on your last nerve. This wedding planner found himself quite frustrated with his sister as she planned her dream wedding. Like lots of creative jobs, his sister seems to be under the impression that his job is easy and inexpensive, when in reality it's just the opposite. This guy helped her choose…

Not everyone believes in that old saying, “It's the thought that counts.” U/Salt_Mood_7908 wrote to the r/etiquette sub with a burning question on her mind. She's suddenly found herself in an awkward situation with her SIL. This SIL asked for only “vanilla cards” as presents. While this is a term I've never heard before, it apparently refers to prepaid debit cards . And this SIL wants only those, so that she won't be “loaded down with stuff she won't use.” Now, if you want to have a preference…

As it turns out, we're still experiencing the fallout from the Holidays.

Shopping for holiday presents for every single person on your list can be quite the challenge. Many families deal with this by sending out a list of gift ideas , and some even send links to the online items to make your shopping easier. But there's always a few people who don't want to send a list. And then, they get what they get, and they don't get upset. If you're still looking for ideas for some of the sarcastic people in your life who don't know what they want, look no further. Below are 2…

Black Friday sales are only for the bravest shoppers among us, the most avid technology geeks and the most driven parents who really, really, need the newest doll for their child this holiday season . If you're heading out to the stores this Thanksgiving night , or setting an alarm for 2AM on Friday morning, you need to read these memes. After all, Black Friday is a pretty unique American tradition that has a reputation for turning ordinary stores into madhouses and regular people into snappy K…

No one likes it when someone takes credit for someone else's hard work. It's the same reason we all hate doing group projects. This guy ran into the interesting problem of his sister trying to Santa-launder his gifts to her kids. Was she just trying to save money? Did she forget to buy enough presents? This feels like the kind of issue that shouldn't be a problem among grown ups, but y'know, Karens are gonna Karen .

Ho ho ho.
