Annoying quirks that make you want to punch family members in the neck

[Stoney Mason]

Excuse me while I whine.

I love my family both extended and close.

That being said if I have to watch another film at a theater with them or over their house again I'm gonna kill myself.

First they have dreaded black folks movie syndrome of wanting to talk during the movie. A gene I never thankfully inherited. SHUT THE FUCK UP. Its rude in public. And at home, well its a private home so that's a bit different but while they are talking to me I can't concentrate and miss shit and so do they.

And worse for me is the analysis of "I wouldn't do that." Every family member I know outside of my mother has a nagging tendency to watch a movie and then put themselves in the place of the characters and tell you what they would or wouldn't do in that situation as its happening. So infuriating. Look fucker. The movie isn't an autobiography of your life. The movie is about Jason Bourne, Batman, or the person who is being cheated on. It doesn't matter what you would do in that situation. I don't care if you wouldn't enter the creepy house in the dark. It's a movie. I'm not watching the 5 minute choose your own adventure movie format of film here.


Yeah I know, just don't watch movies with them. Problem solved. It just happened recently though after not having experienced it in awhile and it annoyed me.

My father has a tendency to think he's always in the right, even when he's dead wrong and that everyone else is the cause of this suffering. Not him.

So this morning I wake up and I'm making eggs for breakfast like usual, and he talks about how the family computer is fucked up. I'm like, yeah...spyware and probably malware. I'll take care of it. Then he asks if it's something I dled, because obviously everything I dl is evil and contains a virus, to which I reply,"No, I rarely get viruses, and I know how to prevent them" "I didn't ask you that, what is spyware? Anyways, change the homepage back" "the spyware did that, that's what it does" "I didn't ask you that" "I just told you what the spyware was doing" "I changed the subject. Do that before you leave."

So I check the computer out and instantly deduce what the problem is. "Some asshole downloaded "Optimize Your PC". Great. The person who always tries to "maintain" the computer is my father, so... welp.

Fucking old black people.

[Atramental]

It's not really a "quirk" per se but it is an annoyance.

In order for me to live at my parents house I have to go to church with them every Sunday. Now, this wouldn't be a problem if the church we went to was quiet and boring like a lot of other churches. If that were the case I would be able to draw in my sketch book in peace. But no. We go to large church with a loud band that plays the same shitty loud Christian contemporary songs that have been played ad nauseum ever since I was a middle school student. Maybe they do play different songs from time to time but I don't know because they all pretty much sound the same after a while.

And then after getting ear raped for about 15 minutes I have to listen to a pastor, for the next 45 minutes, rehash the same tired old stories from the Bible in a "new light" through the same loud speakers the band plays through. 

Also, the fucking auditorium that we sit in is fucking freezing all the time.

Can't wait to move out in April when I finally get done with college and start working full time at my job.

[The Sceneman]

Man, I'm lucky all my parental interaction involves preparing me a sumptuous meal and then we'll get drunk and watch some DVDs and listen to some music or some shit.

I love my family 

[Brehvolution]

My wife's mom is telling my kids if I vote for Obama, I'm not allowed at their house anymore. Her sister said to them that if Obama is re-elected, they won't get any xmas presents since she will have to start paying for other peoples health care.
Fucking leave my kids out of your delusion! Even if they are joking, my kids think they are serious.

I haven't had a chance to speak with either of them yet, but they will get a piece of my mind.

[Atramental]

I've already told my crazy conservative parents that I'm voting for Romney.

Is your mother-in-law married to Papa John?

[Barry Egan]

Literally everything anyone on my fathers side of the family has ever done is worthy of a neck punch.  It's neck punching all the way down for the Kleinmans. 

[Phoenix Dark]

My mom is a pioneer of creating "make work," which is defined by taking a simple task and turning it into a Herculean job. When I was young she'd have us change and re-change mulch randomly - ie put down tarp, dirt, and mulch....then next week re-do it all the next week because "the mulch doesn't seem to match the season teehee."

She'd have us dig ditches randomly for plants, then a day later have us re-fill the ditches and say "actually I'll put the plants in the back yard instead." Then after we dug those she'd be like "actually re-fill those, let's put the plants on the side of the house." It was like the WPA

--------

In terms of other quirks....hmmm

-my uncle is one of the most socially distinguished mentally-challenged people I know. Not in terms of social anxiety, but in terms of how he goes on the most INSANE rants out of the blue. It's hard talking to him because even the slightest provocation will result in him giving you a long, off-topic talk about Roman history, conspiracy theories, the bible, etc etc. He then begins aggressively arguing which gets some people very upset. I'm used to it now

Everytime he goes on one of these bursts his wife gets very, very visually embarrassed; it's kind of sad to watch. Example: some of my family were discussing education reform at a dinner awhile ago, and he randomly started talking about Julius Caesar and why he was the greatest politician, Obama was a joke compared to him, etc. Somehow he then morphed into a discussion of Pastor Eddie Long and "touching little boys in the butt" at which his wife excused herself from the table. Eventually everyone just kind of ignored him and went back to discussing the original topic, so he wound up carrying on his tangent with me. That's pretty much how these things always go at every family function. My dad, mom, other uncles, etc will ignore him and he'll start ranting to me.

A couple months ago his wife kicked him out the house for "talking crazy" among other things, and he stayed with my parents for a few days. He got very religious over the last 5-6 years but recently realized organized religion is nonsense, so I'm guessing that's what he was kicked out; they're back together now, but dunno for how long.

Fucking old black people.

The other day Timedog's mom said to turn the computer off after he paid the bills or else the payment wouldn't go through. I don't know what old people are smoking when it comes to tech.

My own parents? Well I get along with them fine. Dad only talks about politics though which can get old real quick. Sometimes I manage to get him to talk on other subjects but then it veers back into politics. I pretty much agree with his stances but all that doom and gloom is so tiring. Tell me more about growing up or something dad  .

[Phoenix Dark]

My dad is probably the nicest but corniest person I know. He basically knows most of the people who work at our local grocery stores because he hangs out there for hours. Literally, he can go to Wal Mart or Sams Club to get a couple items and get there for an hour walking around, handing out business cards, etc. A few months ago he went to the wedding of a guy who bags his groceries at Kroger; he's talked to this guy for like a decade, watches MMA fights with him, etc.

He's nice to a fault in the sense that when we go to Buffalo Wild Wings it's soooo obvious the waitresses think he's hitting on them. He'll randomly strike up conversations with older chicks at stores with lines like "what do you think about socks with sandals? My son says it's never acceptable but sometimes it makes sense to me." I am not making this up, I have heard him say this to MILFs. And then he hands them a business card and their eyes light up. He genuinely likes talking to people, it's not about him hitting on people or anything like that - he's too religious/corny for that. But regardless, my mom isn't happy about it 

[Human Snorenado]

It's not so much a quirk, but my sister has never done anything wrong in her life and all of this terrible shit that keeps happening to her is the result of some cosmic injustice and why isn't life faaaaaaaair oh and can she borrow a couple hundred dollars from you?  She'll totally pay you back never.

[Phoenix Dark]

depends. is she hot

[Lan]

Excuse me while I whine.

I love my family both extended and close.

That being said if I have to watch another film at a theater with them or over their house again I'm gonna kill myself.

First they have dreaded black folks movie syndrome of wanting to talk during the movie. A gene I never thankfully inherited. SHUT THE FUCK UP. Its rude in public. And at home, well its a private home so that's a bit different but while they are talking to me I can't concentrate and miss shit and so do they.

And worse for me is the analysis of "I wouldn't do that." Every family member I know outside of my mother has a nagging tendency to watch a movie and then put themselves in the place of the characters and tell you what they would or wouldn't do in that situation as its happening. So infuriating. Look fucker. The movie isn't an autobiography of your life. The movie is about Jason Bourne, Batman, or the person who is being cheated on. It doesn't matter what you would do in that situation. I don't care if you wouldn't enter the creepy house in the dark. It's a movie.

Yeah I know, just don't watch movies with them. Problem solved. It just happened recently though after not having experienced it in awhile and it annoyed me.

Scuse me?

Also so what if your black. lol stop being racist and stuff. I'm hurt truly deep.

[Human Snorenado]

Not unless you're into land whales with autistic teenagers.

Also, sounds like someone likes talking during movies.

[Phoenix Dark]

Admit it: white people don't talk during movies. The most noise you'll get from them is the cries and squeals of teenage white girls during a horror movie. Outside of that they're quite.

I've seen black chicks just out their seat screaming, I've seen gay black guys narrate films in the theater ("oh hell nah bitch, why are you going in there bitch, come on bitch run away etc etc"). It has to be genetic, there is no other explanation.

[Mupepe]

I can verify that on average black people talk more during movies than white people.  Hispanics answer their cell phones more on average than any other ethnicity.

Black people talk too fucking much during movies. Yeah I said and yeah I'm gonna go with the stereotype. It's gotten to the point where I purposely go out of my way to see movies in white areas during the rare few times I go to the movies nowadays. Yes I know if I was to do some deep statistical analysis and hang around certain demographics of white people in certain socioeconomic groups the same issue would appear. But sometimes its easier to just type black people talk too much during movies without it meaning anything deeper. This isn't the bell curve I'm typing up here. Just quick posts on a forum.

And white people have plenty of annoying shit they do to as a general stereotype. It's just the movie thing is what I was focusing on this time.

My sister would ask me questions during every ride we went on at Disney World...

she would ask stuff like...

"Did you see that?" "OMG! what was that?" "I felt that air! do you feel that air?!" "Why are we moving?!" "OMG do you smell that??? I SMELL GRASS!! IT SMELLS LIKE GRAAASSSSS!"

All I wanted to do was stab my ears...

[Himu]

I always thought my family didn't.

Until one time my dad brought home Ong Bak 3, and we were watching with my aunt and cousins. Oh my god they would not shut up.

Speaking of which, I hate HOW LOUD black people have to be. FUCK. I like to play it cool and chill, I don't like to yell or be loud. But then when my aunt comes over, instead of talking like a regular person she shouts. Constantly. And her daughters are almost as bad.

These same cousins think that because my family is in the burbs we are rich and so every time they come over, they bring some stupid ass thing to try and impress us, especially me. It'll be something like a tablet, or even a BB Gun. Girl brings in this pink ass BB gun into my house, and my baby doggy gets scared as SHIT and freaks the fuck out. She doesn't like guns for some reason. But the important thing is, why would they think me or my family gives a fuck about your bb gun?

[Phoenix Dark]

Another thing: everyone always talking about who got married, and asking why I haven't gotten married yet. Or asking why I don't go to church, and how can I possibly find a black girl to marry if I don't go to church

The loudest black people are ones fresh from Africa. Sometimes I try to check if they have a microphone or something cause damn my ears be ringing when they talk to me. Sorry Afro folks....

Nobody asks me why I don't go to church because I already told em why I don't go to church. Just be honest and respectful.

[Lan]

This is me, I used to get asked at work and everywhere if I had a child. When I say no they look at me like I'm a strange lab experiment and ask me if I EVER wanted kids. Then the last question usually is if I ever want to get married. Yes I guess I suck at life.

[Himu]

Huh. I've found africans to be generally respectful and calm people. Even if it meant me sleeping in one of their classes while they're teaching.

[Phoenix Dark]

Ha yup Lan. I've got a female friend who gets asked that all the time, but she's also asked if she's a lesbian lol.

"you're 25 and aren't a mother? are you...a lesbian?" 

[Stoney Mason]

Some of the things other people have mentioned also I kind relate to.

My mother has gotten progressively more religious as she has gotten older which is a bit disappointing to me but fortunately its mostly benign and she's not eager to take away other people's rights. It more bothers me that she thinks the bible and praying now seem to hold the answer to most of the world's problems. But like I said she's mostly harmless in that regard.


My dad when he was alive use to embarrass the shit out of me because he was so outgoing. He had to talk to everybody. No matter where we were. I'm an introverted dude so speaking to random people you just come across in life is not something I do outside of the smallest of small talk which I try to end as quickly as possible. If we went to the grocery store, he would talk to the cashier. If we went to an amusement park, he would talk to the ride operator. And not just a friendly hello nod. He would just talk to everybody about the dumbest shit even if he just came across them. Of course in reality he is probably the one that is more normal in that regard and I'm the one with the quirk since most people are extroverted.

[Himu]

My mom pulls that black woman with an attitude shit if a shop keeper doesn't give her her way. Like, she pull this sass out of nowhere. I'd always distance myself when she did that so no one would think we are related.

[Lan]

Ha yup Lan. I've got a female friend who gets asked that all the time, but she's also asked if she's a lesbian lol.

lol. My mother also does this. She's normally extremely nice and respectful and kind especially in public. But if she feels she is being treated incorrectly even if its not the dude's fault who is tending to her at the moment her attitude goes in the toilet quickly. I was renting a car with her one time and there was some issue I can't even remember that came up and it was unfortunate but it wasn't anybody's real fault and ultimately it wasn't that big a deal. But she went into pissed mode quickly.

If white people are good at not talking during movies and make it look easy, it's only because we've had it repeatedly drilled into us from a very early age that talking during a movie is basically the worst possible thing for a human to do. It is the result of training, it doesn't just happen. Saying it must be genetic is like saying that, to reference another stereotype, Asian musical prodigies who've been studying the violin since age 2 must have gotten their talent through racial genetics

[Phoenix Dark]

Stony your dad sounds like mine, and you sound me like me. I'm rather reserved, and don't hang out much. I wind up going to BWW with my dad and his friends and they're still surprised at how different I am from my dad. I'm just a chill dude, meh.

In terms of marriage stuff, I've probably been introduced to three women this year out of hopes that I'll fall in love with them. And it's always some bullshit set up. Like "oh hey Phoenix, your mom wants you to pick up something at our house." Then I get there and my mom is with some thick black chick like "ohhh look who's here, I got some greens and pork chops in the oven why don't you stay"

[recursivelyenumerable]

[Lan]

bleh my mom pulls the "I'm such a sweet lady and loving mother" act. Plus she has hazel eyes so she looks totally innocent. But a home its a whole different story.

She also knows how to used the sweet lady act to get meals for free and free stuff at the store. But when I say something about it she acts like she has no idea that she would get any of that stuff for free. lol

[Mandark]

Black folks talking in theatres is like Jewish folks haggling for discounts.  They're both stereotypes, they're both true to some degree, and there's nothing inherently wrong with either behavior, as much as a lot of people (myself included) find them annoying.

If some people see moviegoing as a social activity where it's more fun to talk and be boisterous, they're not wrong, and if everyone else is going in with that idea then I'm the party pooper for being silent and glaring at everyone.  Stoney's right, though; if you know what sort of atmosphere you want and you know where you will and won't find it, then be smart about where you go.

Also, black church services vs. white church services.  Tyler Perry movies don't do that shit justice.

[Phoenix Dark]

I've never witnessed the "Jewish people haggling over discount" thing. I see Indians do it all the time at work though

[Positive Touch]

My mom pulls that black woman with an attitude shit if a shop keeper doesn't give her her way. Like, she pull this sass out of nowhere. I'd always distance myself when she did that so no one would think we are related.

my ma's the opposite.  she'll go as far out of her way as possible to avoid confrontation, and even fault herself when the other person's at blame.  worst part is that she gets pissed when me or other family dont do the same.  case in point was when we were eating out on my wedding night and these old british fucks started mocking us at the next table over.  i had to get up and start cussing them out, and she gets up and starts yelling at me "just let em go! we were being pretty loud after all..." growing up with that shit was a pain because her advice for dealing with every ignorant person was "just talk it out" like everyones just gonna listen to reason or deserves to be treated with respect even when they dont show it to you.


also it doesnt really piss me off but i think a lot of my family blocks me on facebook. theyre really churchy conservatives and i think my rants and drunken posts scared em off.

[Barry Egan]

hang out with some Israelis, you will learn how to barter in no time.

[Himu]

On the show Rugrats, it stars Jewish people. The older brother of Stu Pickles, Drew, is a big businessman, and when they were kids they'd play the game "haggle". I did not understand this joke as a kid.

[Phoenix Dark]

Most of the Jewish people I "know" know are dentists, and when I've gone to sports events with them they spend a lot of money. As in "you want a pretzel? Here let's get 5 pretzels just in case."

[Himu]

Jewish women are fucking hot.

Thinking about it, all the white women I've dated have been Jewish.

oops. 

[Phoenix Dark]

too pale and skinny for me, and I doubt that would go over well with her family or my extended family

now if I can just find a Hispanic chick/family who loves black dudes...

[Purple Filth]

i also see the movie thing alot but sometimes its pretty fun when youre in a group.

Happened to me when a bunch of us came together and watch Ong Bak for the first time, plus it helped since the movie was in its native language and no subtitles were there to understand what the fuck they were saying   

My dad when he was alive use to embarrass the shit out of me because he was so outgoing. He had to talk to everybody. No matter where we were. I'm an introverted dude so speaking to random people you just come across in life is not something I do outside of the smallest of small talk which I try to end as quickly as possible.

Same.

[Himu]

To be fair to my family, Ong Bak 3 sucks.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

My parents and my sister are terrible people.  I'll keep it emo free.

- A funny quirk my father had is that he said no black people were allowed to step foot in our yard.  He also said that if either my sister or I brought home a black boyfriend/girlfriend respectively, we'd be kicked out of the house.  He later softened it to that they would not be allowed to step foot in our yard.  Over time, one of my good friends was black who I played football with came over.  He was several inches taller and a couple dozen pounds heavier and would have knocked my father out cold.  So he let him in.  He later said this guy was fine because he "acted white."

However like most racists, they have bizarre and contradictory views.  While he hated blacks, he had an affinity for latinos.  My dad strength coached a lot of latinos for boxing and weightlifting back in the day.

- When growing up, we were pretty poor.  As in my parents rarely had a balance in their checking account of more than $25.  They'd write bad checks and hoped it cleared by the time they cashed it.  Like most poor white people, we were heavily in debt.  They were so far in deep they'd get loans to pay off other loans.  So eating at a place like McDonald's or Taco Bell was an event.  However what do you do if a family night out would wipe out a double digit percentage of your balance?  My mom had a good way to do this.  What she would do is rummage through our food to find imperfections.  Since its fast food, someone probably fucked something up.  Maybe someone did a half assed job putting a Big Mac together and it wasn't perfectly straight.  My mom would practically scream at the manager how they fucked up.  The end goal wasn't for them to give us new food, it was to get free food.  Most employees are too scared to fight back with a customer (because they'd get their ass chewed out) so they would give us free food.  Not only that but sometimes they'd give us free coupons for free food to shut her up.  Fazoli's would hand them out reflexively so we'd eat there a few times a year.  My mom stopped this once she was making more money.

My sister now pulls this for the same goal.  The last straw was when we were eating sushi and she threw a fit.  I quietly paid the bill with my apologies and told her I'd never eat with her again in a public place.  I still haven't.

- My dad would hang out with rednecks.  Not the kentuckybore rednecks who got rowdy and blew shit up, these were rednecks in the Justified vein.  The kind of rednecks that would lynch a nicca for breathing the same air they did.  For reference, they were high school drop outs, had no jobs, lived off of food stamps and their busted girlfriends who worked as waitresses or CNAs (aka professional ass wipers at a nursing home aka "code brown" nurses).  They all made their money illegally doing various things.  My dad stopped hanging out with them once he caught a felony charge.  After spending tens of thousands of dollars, he got it bumped down to a misdemeanor where he got probation.

Many other quirks but I'll just leave these here for now.

[Positive Touch]

CNAs (aka professional ass wipers at a nursing home aka "code brown" nurses).

To be fair to my family, Ong Bak 3 sucks.

Haven't seen 3 yet, but 2 was suck on toast. Which is sad considering how much fun the first movie was.

[Himu]

No way, 2 is amazing. I prefer 2 over 1.

[Phoenix Dark]

I've never witnessed the "Jewish people haggling over discount" thing. I see Indians do it all the time at work though

hang out with some Israelis, you will learn how to barter in no time.

Yeah, it's not typical of most American Jews, but there's an Orthodox community near a couple of my old workplaces and the stereotype definitely held.

Are we brothers?

as of today, YES *brohug*

No way, 2 is amazing. I prefer 2 over 1.

Nah, 2 was mediocre at best. The first hour and half was Tony Jaa struggling to carry an exposition-heavy movie and failing badly, and there weren't really even any great fights or stunts, except for a few bits in the 20 minutes brawl at the end. Just really boring for the most part and too self-serious.

This is the one stereotype that's true for all black people no matter where they're from. Jamaicans LOVE kung fu movies. I misss watching them with my family growing up.

A scene like that would work better on 70mm in a Ron Fricke film.
