My aunt, uncle and cousins finally just left and I seem to hate them more now that ever. Talk about a crazy 3 days, here's the story.
My family has an apartment at the shore. My aunt, uncle and cousins got some deal at a hotel 20 minutes from the apartment for 3 nights. We knew they were going to end up visiting at least once.
Thursday - We call them at 11:00 to see what time they wanted to meet. They answer their cell phone and say they are already on their way to the apartment. They just decided they would invite themselves over and show up at the apartment building without giving us prior notice.
We get out onto the beach and they decide they want to play football. Right at the lifeguard stand, it is painted on the stand "No Ball Playing." They throw the football and it lands near someone on the beach and she tells my cousin that if you want to play football, go to the back end of the beach where you are allowed to play football, baseball and any other of those games. My uncle says to my cousin, "Don't Listen To Her". They keep playing and the ball lands near the lady again. She gets angry and starts to tell my uncle how they have to move. My uncle starts yelling at her and they get into an argument. Then the lifeguard comes over to my uncle and says the same thing and he still argues.
We finally get off the beach and they moved their car onto the block where the apartment is. It's parallel parking and they took up 2 spots. A neighbor tells them they took up 2 spots and to please move their car so the neighbor can park too. My uncle doesn't want to which annoys the neighbor and she gets angry with him. My uncle then tells my family how some people in this area are so rude and he got yelled at for not moving his car. I wonder why :roll:
Friday - their hotel had a pool so we asked if we could visit them at the hotel and go swimming. In the pool, my uncle and cousins are throwing tennis balls into the water and doing flips and head first dives into the pool (only 5 feet deep so diving is dangerous). They are told to stop by the lifeguard but contiune to do so anyway.
We decide we are all going to go out to dinner. There is a restaurant at the hotel and my uncle mentioned he had coupons for buy 1 get 1 free meals there. My aunt then calls my uncle into a room and they come out and say the plans have been changed and they want to go somewhere else. It's obvious they didn't want to use the coupons on us and save them for themselves even though they had just spent the previous day at out apartment and even ate dinner there which we of course paid for.
Someone ordered a salad with chicken at our table but the restaurant messed up the order and put cajun chicken on the salad which was too spicy so it was sent back. As the waiter is taking back the salad with the spicy chicken, my uncle says "Wait, let me have some of that salad." So as the waiter is holding the salad bowl, waiting to take it back to the kitchen, my uncle is taking a forkfull of salad from the bowl.
Today - They decided they wanted to go to the beach again so they came back to the apartment today. Before we went to the beach, my aunt mentioned how she had money with her incase the kids wanted ice cream. Well the ice cream man walks by and both my cousins get ice cream and do either my aunt and uncle offer to pay? Of course not. For dinner, we served hot dogs. My uncle made a comment about how he doesn't really want hot dogs and wanted roasted brisket. But when we went to their house on Mother's Day, guess what they served us? Hot Dogs and Hamburgers. Then for dessert, we had apple pie. My uncle then made a comment about how he wanted strawberry pie. You know how it's common courtesy that when you are invited over to someone's house you bring something like a dessert. Well they were at our apartment twice and brought nothing! Then after dinner, my cousin and I are playing Xbox in my room and I'm sitting on my bed and my uncle asks if he can lie down in my bed. I wanted to say no but I knew he would get annoyed so I said yes. He takes a nap in my bed and while my cousin and I are playing NFL Blitz, he wakes up. My cousin asks him if he fell asleep and he said he did but the noise woke him up. He's in my room and in my bed and he has the nerve to complain.
Finally they left but said they hope they can visit again soon. After this weekend, I don't think they will be coming back so soon.
To make things worse, they are the cheapest people I know. I know that this site is CAG and everything but they are so cheap that it is disgusting as seen by some examples I typed.
I only see them a few times a year but even that is too much.
