I have an odd cousin. She is pretty close to my age and she is clueless about any social behavior. We can never tell what she'll end up wearing to a wedding or how she'll fix her hair.

I've known her to say or do anything that strikes her at the moment. She laughs too loudly and she laughs at the wrong time. If it is possible to make a faux pas, she'll do it.

We had a recent wedding in the family and the newlyweds came to me wondering what to do with the strange gift she gave them. They wondered if they had to keep it. Even though I saw the gift I'm not sure what it was or what to do with it.

I advised the kids to donate it to the thrift store and let them figure it out. There is very little chance that she'll notice the kids no longer have her gift. My cousin never married and it's no wonder why.

She would grate an anyone's nerves. Luckily for her, she is extremely intelligent and she does research for a very respected institution. They keep her far in the back though and never let the customers/donors get a close look.

The best thing about my cousin though is that she is very satisfied with herself and her life. I'm not sure how she spends her free time but I'm sure she's having her own definition of a good time. She is truly the definition of the eccentric genius.

It is my mother. All three siblings agree with me on this one. Here are examples of her behavior: Looking at jewelry in a store recently, she told the clerk, "I could just pick up one of these rings and run out of here with it".

The clerk had placed about 4 or 5 rings on the counter top for my mom to compare. She gave my mom a funny look and I was mortified. I think the woman thought mom was considering it.At a funeral last year my mom rode with my brother and his wife (it was my sister-in-laws mother who had died).

Almost immediately after the service mom stands up and announces, "I need a ride home. Whose is going to take me home?" She talks with her mouth full of food, has been known to burp and not excuse herself, and her mother was very big on manners so it’s not like she wasn’t introduced to manners growing up.

At Buddy’s BBQ she asked my husband and I if we wanted a dessert after we had finished our meal. We both said, "No, thank you." She goes up to the counter to get a dessert and then turns and yells out loud, "Rio, do you want a hot fudge sundae?

" Everybody in the place was staring! I treated my mom to a nice lunch in a rather upscale restaurant once. Now, I was paying for the meal.

When the waiter placed the bill on the table my mom grabs it, looks at it, and announces (loudly), "My God! " Again, mortification sets in! She argues with clerks in stores, or as one of my new brother-in-laws noticed, "Your mother seems to have a lot of store altercations, doesn’t she?

" The latest incident: she takes out her false teeth and puts them in her bra (God knows why), winds up bending down to pick up something, the teeth fall out on her tile floor and break. She superglues them together with super glue! Now she talks funny!

We’ve got an appointment with a dentist about the teeth issue. Oh, least I forget! She didn’t realize the batteries in her car door alarm needed to be changed every so often and let them run down.

She was at a mall and when she used the alarm to open her doors, the alarm goes off. She drove about 15 minutes to our house with the car alarm blaring!

My whole family is embarrassing at least to me--the other side of that is I am also embarrassing to my family. We all know too much about each other so it just shows good sense to show some embarrassment. Besides, what else are families for?

I pride myself on being the youngest sibling--I must be an embarrassment.

My sister in law Before she married my brother, we were best friends, until their wedding bells rang. She didn't work a day in her life until she met my brother. She is now employed at a local grocery store as deli supervisor and she thinks that her sh*t don't stink!

Plus if I go into the store she chases me and yells "sister, sister". One day she embarrassed me very bad by cruel comments. I did go to the owner on that one and told him that I would not be returning to his store.

She no longer comes to family gatherings as she makes a fool out of herself and says inappropriate things. She acts very childish and has disowned her step-daughter, which I now have guardianship. My brother lets her make the house rules and he sticks to them.

If she says that he can't see his daughter, thats it, he doesn't dare. Sources: personal opinion ragrug_lady's Recommendations MEAN PEOPLE SUCK decal bumper sticker .

We have a new member in our family... and I need a lot of good advice of how to take care of her because...

How do I deal with an untrust worthy family member.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
