Oh great (relatives who break things)

[Fnaar]

We have Mr and Mrs Clumsy staying with us...SiL and BiL... they always break something when they come to stay, it's almost a tradition. A shower here, a window there, lost keys etc etc. This time it's the main house computer. Bil was "doing something with a work file" at 2am this morning, and now the flipping thing won't boot up. Heswears innocence, but i am going to torture him till I get the truth. Grr. Anyway, still enjoying the hols, just trying to get everyone out for a walk. If they don't hurry up, I'm going to go and clean my bike. Hope you are all having happy holidays.

Every time we had relatives staying years ago, something always got broke or ruined. Strange how it doesnt happen at their own homes isnt it?

My wife has been breaking wind all day and much louder than my breakages.

The shame of it.

Hmmmm. We have friends like this. They have a very nice house but are careless to the extreme with it. They are the same when they come here.

This year they have managed to spill red wine on a brand new £3k carpet in the front room (sorted with our house insurance). Scratched the inner bottom of a *loody expensive saucepan whilst scrambling eggs with a metal whisk. Stained one very nice pine table with red wine. Broke a door handle being stupid whilst *issed.

Years back we took them out in a 2 day old Merc' E Class and we got to town, parked up and the lady of the duo just flung the rear door open into a concrete rendered wall. I was properly fed up about it and wanted them to just bugger off home but had to grin and bear it for the remaining few days of their visit.

We have known them 35 years and love them dearly but it frustrates us.

None of our other friends and family ever break/spill anything - strange!

We dread my Dad coming round. He's increadibly cak handed, and doesn't know his own strength. He's the sort of bloke who will inspect your new kitchen taps. Then "wiggle" them at the base, to check they're attached "properly".

Then "wiggle" them again. Harder.

"Oh look, these are a bit loose..."

They are now.

I broke the bathroom light switch cord and then found it was the switch that was faulty. At least I was able to fix it, being an electrician.

A while ago my God-daughter broke my expensive, museum bought replica of a Ming dynasty Chinese horse. I was more annoyed at her for attempting to claim it was already broken before it fell off the table and smashed on the floor then for breaking it.

[QUOTE 1656207, member: 1314"]I've got relatives round who got married on a caribbean island and have a German shepherd dog called Prince.The one called Sheba died. They didn’t choose their cat, their cat chose them -
and what do you know – it’s got its own website. They know where things are in B&Q (useful for Fnnar)and they’ve got The Joy Of Sex video (also useful for Fnnar). They were due to go on the Crystal Maze but they got mugged in Florida. They made some good friends on Henman Hill and now they all meet up for boxercise. They declared their love in a hot air balloon, drinking champagne and always row on New Year’s Eve. They’ve got nothing but total respect for Annie Lennox.

And if I’d known they were coming, I’d have slashed me wrists[/quote]
