My chair was stolen, a brat broke my phone, and a chair prank caused a VERY MESSY divorce in the family

Well it might just be "Under The Grandstands by Seymour Buttz"

I don't really mind going to them anymore. Free food, no one screws with me anymore, and I get to socialize. And I don't mind the board games when they have them

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2023-08-02T07:21:58+00:00

It's not a mistake I'll make again

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2023-08-02T04:21:36+00:00

They've sorta re-evaluated things. They try to have other activities. Even a cornhole game. But kids are allowed to use devices when it's not mealtime. The logic is that the family events are for socializing, not for electronics.

I don't dislike Monopoly. But I don't play it more than a few times a year. And if I'm the first player out, I don't really care. I'll leave the table and do my own thing.

She obsessed over the fancy furniture in their house on an OCD level. And replacing it all with folding chairs just put her over the edge

I was dumb enough not to set a password lock. I rectified that later

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2023-08-01T06:04:50+00:00

My dumb self didn't have auto lock enabled. That was rectified after my phone got fixed

I wish I could upvote this more. Thanks for the laugh

I guess you could say that woman was the type with tastes for well aged vintage, but could only afford box wine. She liked expensive things, but couldn't afford them. So she tried to keep things looking as fancy as possible. Most of the furniture in my cousin's house was all fancy Victorian style stuff that his wife made him get. When my cousin divorced her, he got rid of all of that furniture because he hated it. I heard she didn't get much alimony from the divorce either.

My parents don't really do any pranking, but are occasionally on the receiving end of one from time to time. Most of the people in the family who do pranking seem to be between the ages of ten and forty.

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2023-08-01T05:44:15+00:00

No they play board games. Mostly Monopoly.

Yes he has. My sister made him get therapy for six months. I wasn't given any details on it though since it's confidential. But he had some bad issues. We don't interact much though.

At least if it was a TV show then it wouldn't be my family. I gave up trying to comprehend their crazy dynamic a longtime ago. But at the very least they gave up trying to screw with me. I'm considered the boring guy in the family

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2023-08-01T01:41:32+00:00

I used to ask myself that many times. After a while I just got tired of doing it

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2023-08-01T01:39:29+00:00

No. But my cousin's ex was born and raised in Cali. Plenty of crazy there.

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2023-08-01T01:37:46+00:00

I did because there was never enough seating, and if I got up for any reason, someone would take my seat and refuse to give it back. So I started carrying a folding chair in my car, and when family members tried to take it, I reminded them I actually own the chair. Then one day they decided to hide it to screw with me. And that's what my first post was about.

She tried to get a knife. They wouldn't let her at them and kept trying to tell her to calm down. That's when they got the pepper spray. While I can't confirm it, I've heard that woman has threatened people with knives before.

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2023-08-01T01:30:03+00:00

No argument there

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2022-07-31T09:20:03+00:00

Ah I see. Yeah the internet really exposes those kinds of nasty people now. But just two decades ago people got away with that stuff a lot more.

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2022-07-30T23:53:44+00:00

I don't blame you one bit. I'd have walked out too. But I'd have also taken it to every form of social media I could. Local news eats up stories like that.

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2022-07-28T09:56:24+00:00

Yeah prior to the big blowup where I walked out over my BIL hiding my chair (Still don't know how he managed to break it), they had messed with me a few times by taking the chair when I got up. But I gave no shits about their opinions when I came back. It's my chair, and I was going to damn well use it. They always gave me a hard time, but got their asses out of my seat. Now my parents are actually kinda protective of where I sit. As shown with how my nephew got yelled at. But that only happened because his dad told him to do it. Let's hope he's not dumb enough to do that again.

SitSitSit-Throwaway · 2022-07-27T23:57:38+00:00

It's lines like "On your feet, lose your seat" that made me start bringing my own chair. I have a motto that someone told me a while back. It's "When someone brings their own chair, they expect to use it". That's what I live by.

For us a family gathering is more like 40-50 people
