Ratchet Relatives That Can Make the Holidays a Hot Mess

The Alleged “Uncle” Who Can’t Act Right Whatsoever

You don’t know who this individual really is. They could honestly just be a family friend fronting as an uncle or aunt. All you really know about them is when they come around, they have to tell you a story to remind you that you are family, and when the Heineken comes out, they get a little too loose. Same goes for those family members who know they have no filter when they drink, but are the main ones bringing beer to every holiday shindig. This individual starts talking out of the side of their neck, talking crazy about the way you or some of your other relatives look, act, whatever. They flop around the dance floor like a scene out of Weekend at Bernie’s, and when they leave, are trying to walk out with like five plates, even though they live alone. Be as polite as you can to this one and unless you’re on duty to drive them home at then end of the night, stick to the far other side of the room they’re not in.
