[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]

You are to be commended for your practical tolerance. This is sitcom-worthy funny-annoying![/quote]

My BIL is from rural NC, and he reminds me of what Andy Griffin told the cast of his sitcom in the 60s, "There is no need to overdo anything. The South is funny enough on it's own." After everyone left yesterday, DD17 said to me, "I thought we had a normal family, but it really is quite odd."[/quote]
