Anyone else have a couple fucking selfish psychopaths in their immediate family?
My mom and sister (early 30s) are fighting again. Massive argument where they may not speak for weeks or months. My dad is sick and this only places more stress on him as he's caught in the middle. And upcoming birthday/holidays get togethers promise to be a cluster fuck unless they miraculously make up and get over it (seems unlikely as they've both said things that are hard to take back).
I always get stressed about this. Wish it were only their own lives affected by their drama

Wait so you spent an additional $110 that is meant to cut down on lines but still waited up to a half hour for rides?
The fuck?
No but I have more than my fair share in my extended family......which is why I haven't spoken to most of them in more than a decade.

Yep. And there's nothing I've been able to do other than cut people out of my life.
Sorry bud... I have extended family that haven't spoken to each other for years because of petty shit.Yup, my mother. My condolences man, I guess just try to be there for you pops.
It was 30 minutes or 2.5 hours. Take your pick. Most rides were just walk on or a 5 minute wait while they set up the next car. The 30 minute waits were for the most popular rides and of course there were other fast pass people in front of us for those too.
MY GF and I call each other "partner" when we hear others use it, but only in cowboy accents.
Fiancé is the worst. It's always novel and strange to them, even though they love saying it, which makes it sound unnatural. Plus it's French.
I refer to MY GF by her name whenever possible. People figure it out, though then it sounds presumptuous, as if everyone should already know who she is.
Ultimately I'll have to marry her -- because we all accept "my wife" since it seems pejorative and love when people hate the person they're with.
The term "girlfriend" is something strictly reserved for romantic partners in German (because it doesn't really exist as such), so when girls mentioned they had "a girlfriend" I used to think they were gay when I first came here. No joke. I learned quickly that it also had a casual meaning.
Word. I've got cousins I don't speak to, but they're certifiably insane. Unfortunately that's meant I'm not close to other people in their family who are fine and I'd like to see more of.
Yeah, for sure. Might take the ferry over this weekend the more I think about it. We suspect he has Parkinson's. He sees a neurologist on Thursday. I really hope it's nothing... but it's almost certainly something. Should be an interesting week.

Does that make you all my boyfriends
I lived in homestay and my 50-ish year old homestay mom said "I'm gonna be at my girlfriend's tonight".
:/
*bites lip*
No we are "boo" and they are our "bae"
I just watched 6 and a half hours of Halo! So gooooood!

That is insane to me. Paying extra and having to wait more than 10 for anything would have me hounding for a refund. Hell, how on earth can people pay money to go to an amusement park and then spend half of the day waiting in line for two rides?
I couldn't do it. Ew.
The worst is when guys (at least I've only heard guys say it) refer to their significant other as "The wife" or "the girlfriend". Makes it seem so damn possessive.
Don't ever come to Disneyland.

I didn't really plan on it.
Not a fan of amusement parks. Too expensive for what you get.
Unless you go on a cloudy day with a chance of rain. No lines but then you run the risk of rides getting closed if weather gets worse.
Uguu~
aren't you one of those dudes that formed an NFL-GAF EASHL team?
In any case, it's Dubbed.
Ha! I feel the same way!

I am responsible for this new love connection. Dubbed, I take cash.
Yes, that was me. We made the greatest team of all time. And by greatest I mean Mighty Ducks 1 in-the-beginning tier.
I knew I remembered that nick from somewhere lol
I remembered you had a Canucks avatar too!
Not quite the same, but I understand. This is incredibly stressful and overall just unnecessarily difficult for everyone.
What's even more tiring on my end is when shit is aired out in front of everyone, then when you intervene, you're told to back off because it's a "private matter" between both of people and not everyone else's.
That's a weird take. It's actually to make them 'the other' and put them at a distance. Sometimes as a joke, sometimes with hostility. Never really indicates a possessive attitude.

I'm 29 and my sister is 32. We can't be friends or civil no matter how hard we try.
~Uguuuu~!
My sister's husband intervened but on the side of one person, which only escalated the situation. If you're going to intervene, do it properly.

Where's that GIF of Donald Duck hugging Huey/Dewey/LouieandtheNews
Wear an Austin Powers costume while doing it.
IT'S YA GURL MIZZ SOC
You're excused because you're hardly the MY GF MY GF MY GF type. Actually, I really wouldn't say anyone in NHL-GAF is. It's an immature trait where you keep having to mention them in conversation or relate whatever topic is being talked about to them, or even consistently share their opinion or anecdotes to the point where the person acts like this...

I christen this new page in honour of Dastardly's return, and his "thing" with his newfound ladyfriend.
Pretty much. That's why I rarely butt in on these things. I know I'll probably fuck up and make it worse, so I leave people to tire themselves out.
