[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes clueless people needed to be treated like clueless people. Every year my BIL does something super annoying. 
--One year he brought a years worth of junk mail to go through and filled all my trashcans. No problem, I just asked him to help me empty them.
--Last year he brought bunch of expired snack foods to our house. Like 200 pieces. I told him just to leave in his car, unless he had some moon pies, which he didn't. 
--This year he brought all his laundry. He is 68 years old married to my sister not some young bachelor. I told him, only laundry in the afternoon with so many showers in the morning taxing our smallish hot water heater. He complied. Clueless.[/quote]

lol. I am kind of fascinated by this guy that brings these chores with him. [/quote]

Last night during dinner (my 2nd of four huge family dinners I'm hosting), I noticed an old beat up suitcase in our dining room--I asked him why that was there. He said it was full of gifts that needed wrapping. It sat there all night. But I'll give him credit, I left wrapping paper and tape out, and he's wrapping away this morning at 8am.[/quote]

I’ll be honest: I like your BIL. He plans his time, identifies what chores and tasks he has let slide, and preps so he can take advantage of time off to get things done. Respect to him. He could definitely have worse habits and eccentricities. [/quote]
