Sister in law washing her undies in the sink and hanging them on the towel rack to dry.

This is the passive aggressive white boomer version of, “IMMA DO ME!” All kidding aside, I agree with your initial post. As I’ve aged, I’ve learned to let a lot of shite go and also actively avoid associating with people I find irritating. Time is short so I try to enjoy the company for what it’s worth.

That post was in response to the dude saying they must hate me being around. I hope that’s not true, though I’m sure I have my annoying traits just like everyone else.
My main point is that life is about family and loved ones and don’t let persnickety stuff get in the way

Everyone on my side and my wife’s side lives within a 20 mile radius, so we don’t have to deal with this shite.

I generally prefer to have everyone over to my house but I do get slightly ticked when everyone tries to "visit" in our small galley kitchen while we are finishing the cooking.

Not getting up and getting out on Sunday. 8:00am on Sunday, the visits over. Don’t linger around. Get on the road!

That actually sounds better than otherwise because you get your space when it comes time to go to sleep.

I’ll start with over packing the kitchen trash, pushing it down until the bag is ready to tear and leaving lights/fans/tvs on when leaving the house
At least yours puts it in the can. My wife’s side of the family can’t even do that. Hate this time of year.

It got old hosting every year.
We downsized so we really don't have the room now.
No one has stepped up to have it. Sad.

What? Are you from the stone ages? So it costs you a few cents. Just make a run around the house and turn them off.

Picking at bunions and toe skin in the living room. Keep your shoes on if you cannot control yourself.
Dippers- the reason it’s called dip is because you’re a dipshit. Spit outside like a mannered guest. Nobody wants to look at a bottle of tobacco spit. Non-dipshits will agree.
Vapers- refer to the dipshit comments above. Nobody wants to breathe or smell a secondhand cloud of funk dilly vanilli kiwi strawberry cherry cola flavored e juice.
It makes you look like a Jimmy Greer.
Don’t fricking show up empty handed, bring something to show the host your appreciation and that you’re not a bum.

Little tip for the trash bags, I buy the 30 gallon bags for the 13 gallon can and I never have issues with it ripping or being overfilled.

Leaving the god damn door open so my dog or my wife's cat gets out.

I’ve never had the desire to stay at someone else’s house. Give me a hotel room with my own space and I’ll come hang out and then go back to my room.

fricking disgusting. Do you really have extended family doing this in your home?

Pilfering everything out of the fridge and pantry.

I used to get pissed when my MIL would show up and immediately start cleaning. I don’t know what my problem was; I love it now.
My in-laws are complete opposites.
Our house is a vacation resort for them and my wife and I are the hired hands to take care of everything for them. They may carry their plate back towards the sink. That'd be the most effort that would go into helping clean up after themselves.
They do wash their own clothes here, but it's solely for cheap reasons. They can use our Tide, etc for free. They even bring dirty clothes to wash once they get here.

Not anymore, they skeeeered I might hurt more feelings.

Commie uncle wants to bring his girlfriend for Christmas. She does not eat pork and demands that we fix her an alternative to the Christmas ham. I would not resent the additional cooking nearly as much if she was a conservative.
