Christmas gathering stories - post nightmare ones here.

Please post any unpleasantness here.
Good place to get it out of your system.

Here’s mine:
Trumper cousin comes over to house full of liberals and political moderates types.
He Wore MAGA hat to dinner table.
Was asked by host to remove it just while eating. He refused.
He asked to lead a prayer.
Ended it with “and Dear Jesus, thanks for our wonderful President, please keep him safe”.
That led to some snickers around the table.
He then said....”what are you laughing at...all you fucking liberals can suck my d**k.”

Things got even better from there. But, you get the drift.

Ok, your turn, guys.

She turned on ESPN for him on tv and brought him a bottle of bourbon.
He never came back upstairs and just passed out on basement couch.
Was last to leave the house.
Nobody came downstairs to say goodbye to him. - not surprisingly...lol.
Relatives,,,aren’t they great.

Those hats aren't even allowed on the estate, and I have retired all my red hats. If people see them from afar, they don't know what they are, and assume the worst. I could'nt hate a man more than this malignancy that has festered in the WH.

With no job he's not providing for the family anyway and if he's a drunk, he could also be physically abusive to her and the kids and is certainly setting a poor example for the children.

She would be better off to take kids to a shelter and get out.

Seriously, if he's so out of control that acts like that when he's a guest in someone else's home and there's a bunch of people watching him, just imagine how abusive he probably is when he's in his own house.

Did the owner of the house in which the OP's cousin behaved so abominably make him leave? Not according to the story.

Asked toleave immediately. I would physically push them out of the house. But since he was with his wife and kids I applaud your patience.
