Christmas, Cars and Argument: Today, while staying at my brother's place for the Christmas...

Today, while staying at my brother's place for the Christmas holidays, I had to leave because he threatened to "take me outside". Apparently he doesn't like being corrected on whether a certain car has a long wheel base version, so I guess the family Christmas is over. FML

Today, as my brother parked in our hotel's parking lot, I told him to be careful because the car wasn't straight. He retorted, "Yeah, just like you". My mother was in the back seat and heard everything. I hadn't come out yet. FML

Today, my mom told me she wouldn't be able to leave my middle-aged brother at home for Christmas in order to meet her first grandchild. FML

Today, I was told by a family member that if we come over on Christmas and my small children get upset or throw a fit, we will be asked to leave. I can't guarantee that my 2-year-old and 3-year-old won't have any meltdowns, so I guess we won't be spending Christmas with the rest of the family. FML

Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML

Today, I came home early, and my boyfriend's car was in my driveway. Inside, he was talking to my parents. He walked right past me and left. My mother then says, "He wanted me to tell you it's over." FML

Today, I got in the car with my brother, who drives all the time with his eyes glued to his phone. We stopped at a red light, it turned green. I noticed that he was still looking down and told him the car ahead was moving. I then got screamed at, saying how I'm always right, how my friends suck, and how he wished I was dead. FML

Today, my brother "borrowed" my car and keys without asking me. He came back 4 hours later, alone and pale faced. It took half an hour of questions, interrogation, and finally threats before he admitted that my car is sitting in a ditch a few miles away, probably totaled. FML

Today, my bus got held up in traffic, so I arrived home about 15 minutes late. My mum bitched me out, accused me of sleeping around, and grounded me. All this while my brother raged at his video game in the other room, screaming stuff such as "EAT SHIT, YOU CUNTS!" with total impunity. FML

Today, after being kicked out of my racist family, my boyfriend and I moved across the country to rent an apartment with my sister. My mother hates us so much she offered to buy my sister a new car to not take us in. FML

Today, while I was putting up Christmas lights, my younger brother wouldn't stop pestering me. It seems he hadn't forgotten the time I gave myself an electric shock last year, and he wanted to see if I'd do it again. FML

One does not just google during an argument. You defend your point to the death, even if there's a chance you're wrong. It's Christmas tradition.

Yeah, it really is a stupid argument. Though I would like to know what car they were talking about.

Exactly 3, because if OP sibling in question was a sister, this never would have happened. Males and females never disagree, especially if they're siblings

^^^Trying to add to my comment. A misspelled word, I can understand, but really, a word that isn't capitalized is not going to destroy the world. It's a free country for #3.

#19 - Actually, male and female siblings disagree a lot. When I disagree with my brother, I get in trouble and he doesn't. I will never understand how that works.

Not many Australians drink egg nog. It's usually VB or Tooheys (Aussie beer, btw).

I'd rather drink egg nog. And if I was to drink beer! I'd prefer Tasmanian beer. :-p

I have a brother like that. Every year he would start a fight with someone (usually a different person every year). Finally enough became enough. My parents and I decided that the best thing would be to have our holiday celebration WITHOUT him. So we don't invite him any more. The holidays are much more peaceful now, and you'd be amazed by how much we DON'T miss him. Sometimes even close family members need to be cut out of your life.
