35 Photos Of The Most Annoying Things People’s Family Members Have Done

When it comes to family, many of us feel conflicted by the complex mix of affectionate frustration that comes with the relationship. Sharing a home often leads to differences of opinion and blurred boundaries. Family members tend to express irritation through passive-aggressive behavior or acts of weaponised incompetence. The resulting chaos is typically annoying, relatable, and utterly hilarious.

No eggs, no celery, no herbs or onions. Only potato. Guess our family is having Potato Potalad.

#2 My Mom Keeps Opening My Mail Even After I Told Her To Stop

Me and my friends from out of state made Amazon wishlists to buy Christmas gifts for each other. I woke up today to my mom scolding me for buying more stuff online (I’m trying to save for a car). I had no idea what she was talking about as I hadn’t ordered anything. She shows me the items she unboxed and I recognized them as things from my wishlist. The picture is how she left it on the table. My friends and I had planned on doing a group unwrapping call over Discord as soon as we’d all gotten our gifts so we could watch each other open stuff.

This isn’t the first time my mom has opened packages of mine, but I was especially upset because she’d ruined the surprise. She got mad whenever I told her again to stop opening my mail, claiming “she doesn’t check the labels on every single package that comes in.” I told her she should since there was more than one person living here, and she got even more mad.

So my dad’s car broke down so he’s been using mine to get to work since I don’t need it since my school is nearby. But I went with him to my aunt’s and when I drove it back I learned he did this, never mentioned it.

Also to add insult to injury he smokes in my car and in the past left bottles of vodka and beers in my car (along with lots of trash) even after repeatedly asking him to stop.

Decided to make a pizza from scratch told everybody to leave alone for 5 minutes and this is what I find. Someone send Inspector Gadget because I have a case on my hands.

I know someone might believe that it will cleanse me from demons or somethings, but holy hell, let me lay in my bed without salt on my mattress.

Also my parents didn’t believe me or gaslit me for a year. I thought I was going crazy.

Just so crushing. I found out because she has Parkinson’s and ended up at the hospital with delirium. I had to go through her phone and figure out how in debt and screwed we are now and forever most likely.

They are literally being held together with tape, what part of that “looks better?” Also, why throw them away instead of just storing them somewhere?

#24 My Dad Takes Bites Out Of Cookies And Other Treats To Claim Them For “Later”, And Doesn’t Eat Them Later Anyways

I’m probably seems stupid to complain about, but my family has asked him not to, but still does it, even does it to the last thing in the box. He doesn’t have to do that, either eat it all, or don’t eat it.

#30 My Mom Ate My Clearly Labeled Food And Then Lied About It

Image source: DisasterSensitive171

I would like to start by saying I cook all the time. I also buy and share food all the time. She very rarely does either of those things, but whatever I can feed myself. She lets me stay rent free while I’m in college so I figure it works and I can pitch in that way. Anyways, this time I didn’t want to share so I very clearly labeled my food. I come home to eat the food I was looking forward to all day to find this is all she left me. She then tried to blame my grandpa. He has had three strokes and is 86 and does not eat that much. So I tell her I know good and well he did not eat it. I show her it was very clearly labeled “No”. She then lies again and says she didn’t see the label. There is no way she didn’t see the label.
