Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: There are so many aunts in this thread! What is it with aunts? My "that relative" is an aunt too. I commonly refer to her as "crazy aunt" to distinguish her from my other aunt who is also kind of difficult but within the realm of normal human behavior. Di ....


Comment preview: This reminds me of something that my Nmom will do occasionally. She has a sister, my Aunt, who is a wonderful, caring, non-N person. This Aunt is very kind and loving towards me, and has always treated me like I'm a worthwhile person. Needless to say, Nmom ....


Comment preview: People dumping their dogs in the desert in the middle of nowhere is why my crazy aunt has like 15 dogs. Please stop giving my crazy aunt more dogs, people. She doesn't need more dogs. ETA for people claiming my aunt is an angel/saint/wonderful person: She' ....


Comment preview: You did the right thing. When it comes to information regarding the human reproductive system, it s better to have than not. Time to logic bomb your aunt: Hey Aunt Crazy, got a question for you: Would you rather that I share information with your daughter ....


Comment preview: Buddy of mine met a "great" girl. I admit I thought she was pretty damn cool myself initially. She was hot, too. A year later, he's getting married. Mother-in-law (soon to be) starts doing some crazy fucked up shit concerning the wedding. Three months ....


Comment preview: We had a small wedding (40 people) at my grandparents house in the country. No wedding party, just me and my Dad walking down the aisle to my (now) husband and the minister. I sent an email out to my immediate family saying dress casual and comfortable but ....


Comment preview: Key Largo House Boat Rentals/ The Boatel in Key Largo, FL. My girlfriend and I went there expecting a hotel experience (just as the place advertises). Well we get there and have to pay the week upfront, it was about $800. The place turned out to be a tota ....


Comment preview: First, when I was in the second grade, classes were cancelled because there was a polar bear on school grounds. Nobody believes me when I tell them that. Second, when I was 21 my great aunt passed away suddenly (she was only 66 at the time). Before I had g ....


Comment preview: The dog nipped her after the aunt insisted on cornering her, and the aunt reacted by threatening to have both dogs put down against OP's will. I think we're past the "let's play nice, you get another chance!" stage. It doesn't sound like the dog is unsocia ....


Comment preview: My aunt lives in Pennsylvania in Amish country and there are a lot of stray cats or barn cats that no one considers as "their cat". My aunt (after checking with all neighbors for ownership of any of them) started feeding them and catching those she could a ....


Comment preview: I have a step-aunt (is that right? My stepmothers aunt) that told me in front of a whole family party I was a horrible exscuse for a son to my father bc I wouldnt go and get him alcohol on his birthday. Rewind: my dad asked me to run to the liquor store. I ....


Comment preview: I am not sure I want her to find another like herself. It was bad enough when my aunt still lived in our state. My aunt is actually ten times worse and my grandmother (on mom's side) was a complete nightmare. I never went to see any of them after the divor ....


Comment preview: Well this is less crazy than that, but my mother and aunt (her oldest sister) have always gotten nauseous whenever Pink Floyd is playing. This had gone unexplained for the first 13 years of my life, until my dad (now divorced) and I were joking about it an ....


Comment preview: It was Christmas and my Aunt Linda showed up. She got a present for everybody in the family. What did she get us? She gave us all a picture frame...complete with a picture of herself in it. A few years later she gave us teddy bears. Teddy bears that were h ....


Comment preview: Wow, your aunt sounds crazy controlling. However I doubt you can get her out of the house. This is mainly because it's your parents house and so it's not your decision, and also because she's there for a month. If she was moving in permanently then may ....


Comment preview: Back before I was born. my parents and my uncle and aunt we're going to New Orleans for Halloween and my aunt was running late, as per usual. Now you have to understand that my family is full of crazy people, so no one batted and eye when my uncle dressed ....


Comment preview: That's morbidly hilarious. A sweet and sincere message followed up with a "YOU LOST AND HORRIBLE SOUL. HOW COULD YOU." My own n aunt just messaged my n mother and sisters on Facebook, wishing us a happy Thanksgiving. My n's are in a vicious NC phase so I h ....


Comment preview: My uncle died after a very sudden, very painful yet thankfully short bout with cancer. I was an unemployed recent college grad so I ended up taking care of my cousins while my aunt was busy at the hospital. I spent a lot of time at their house taking my co ....


Comment preview: I'll quote a previous story of mine: "This is something my mother told me today, actually. So, my great grandmother on my mother's side was crazy most of her life. She's like, half native American. Her idea of a greeting to her granddaughters was a nice, i ....


Comment preview: This is something my mother told me today, actually. So, my great grandmother on my mother's side was crazy most of her life. She's like, half native American. Her idea of a greeting to her granddaughters was a nice, innocent bit of relationship advice; "D ....


Comment preview: My aunt is a total bitch. She's done plenty of crazy things (she's currently on her FIFTH marriage), but she was especially bad around the time my uncle (her brother) died. There was a week between when my uncle went missing and when he was presumed dead, ....


Comment preview: I was never actually a member, but I did a few of the classes when I was a kid because my aunt is a scientologist. I don't remember too much, but as I look back it's all indoctrination city there for kids. Here's one story I do remember. My cousin, who is ....


Comment preview: I visited my friend's family in Cambodia a couple years ago with her. They all have crazy stories, but the shocking part is that's the case for litterally anybody. Nobody was safe when the Khmer rouge came in, and every family was torn apart in one way or ....


Comment preview: I have an aunt who was a functional alcoholic for decades, but in the last few years she began drinking from wake to eventual pass-out. But here's the thing- she had been drinking for so long, she began to rarely show any real physical signs of intoxicatio ....


Comment preview: My aunt was bitching about me to my mom because she's a crazy drunk and was jealous that my grandmother treated me, the kid she basically raised, better than my aunt's children while I was in my room playing on the computer when my mom suddenly shrieked at ....
