Tell us about your idiot relatives

[SacTown Chronic]

Oh gawd, I might be in this thread all day.

...and what a timely thread it is.


I received news yesterday that my lame-o brother ran a red light and wrecked his car in Phoenix. Early word was that he was seriously injured and I was appropriately freaked out and worried. More updates brought news that his injuries were relatively minor (broken ribs, collarbone) and details of the wreck included the words 3am...poker...stopped drinking at midnight (According to the lame-o brother. Did I mention he's a liar?) ...running red lights...no insurance. And now I'm pissed.

And why was he out drinking and playing poker when he should be saving his money because he's getting evicted from the condo he's renting? Because he's a fvckup, that's why. And why did he have his family of seven shoe-horned into a two-bedroom condo for the past several years? Because he finally found someone who would give a lease to a fvckup with bad credit -- and that someone had a two-bedroom condo, that's why.

Ugh. My heart breaks for his kids.
