Comedy Christmas family behaviour....

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

Any one else have the 'pleasure' of in-laws for Christmas?

 

Possibly one of the funniest things I saw was the mother-in-law having a mobile phone drama...

 

To set the scene, after 5 days of the rigours of having house guests, on the day of departure the car developed a brake fault. Easy fix, sticky brake calliper rectified by the AA.

 

Trying to find us, the AA called FiL's mobile, he's outside, MiL saw it ringing....

 

She thinks when it stops ringing that's the line connected so she picks it up, waits for ring tone to stop, then starts talking....

 

Then she starts ranting about there not being anyone there.... Goes to land line to phone BiL. Whilst on the phone to BiL, FiL's mobile goes off again in the kitchen so she rushes through, waits for the ringing to stop, then starts talking.....

 

Nobody there, starts ranting, goes back to landline to speak to BiL who's now hung up...

 

This process was repeated FOUR times! I'm in the office fair struggling to retain control..... After the 4th series I shouted the Mrs down to sort her out....

 

It could so easily have been a Monty Python / Laurel & Hardy / Blackadder & Prince Regent sketch!

 

Small pleasures......

 

FiL bought her a new mobile for a Christmas present, can't see that getting too much use!

I'll save their blushes by not revealing who this was, but funniest family quote came from an anxious (older) female getting very involved in the film 'Captain Philips': "I'd sh*t myself if this happened to me in real life; I'm in a bad way just watching the film!"

Five days of the inlaws Two days max here and I am ready to hang myself. The mother in law had what I believed to be a wart on her chin but on closer inspection it turned out to be a grease nipple.

Pity me then; 15 days every xmas, 15 days every bleedin' summer.

 

The difference between inlaws and outlaws is that outlaws are wanted.
