You guys are hillarious.....My family and girlfriends family live like 3000 miles away so these problems dont arise often...Although, last month my girlfriends dad came to visit us and stayed for a month. he is not feeling well so he thougt being by the ocean would help out..EVERYDAY for a month I had to go to this apartment he rented ( I declined my house to him because of prior episodes ).... while I knew my games were on and talk about stupid shat I could care less about....ie) future, finances, life, marriage,kids....all I can think about is getting to a computer so I can check my lines and scores. sometimes I would drift off in thought for honestly like 10-15 mins and couldnt tell you a word they said meanwhile staring and nodding at him every 5 or 10 seconds..... I have to do everything through google so it doesnt show up in websites visited, then when I come back I am forced to listen about how " VEGAS wasnt built with all the winners" speech...I get this hot feeling in the back of neck and I feel like I want to ask him on the patio, hit him with a shovel, steal his remote, leave him for dead, lock the door and go in and watch my game...After that thougt passes I look into my girlfriends eyes and ask myself is it really all worth it??? No. I realize...Then I look at her jugs and think about my family history of baldness, and my mind changes back to...... ya maybe I can put up with this for a little while longer..Then he starts talking about these grandchildren that I cant stand ..and the balcony thought enters my head again..I then excuse myself to the fridge and grab a beer, i dont usually drink much but on these nights, I put back at least 8-9 in a two hour span... at least..Sometimes I get so drunk that I start to want to actually be there because I am incapable of driving home and dont want to listen to the lecture from my chick about " We cant even go somewhere for two hours without you checkin your scores or acting like an ass...You wonder why my family doesnt like you, all you do when you are around them is Gamble and drink". I usually start to laugh or make fun of her family at this point and then its war .....Do you guys ever hear this one ?" you mean to tell me that you would rather be on the computer talking to a bunch of degenerates and watchin football, then being with me and my family having ice cream at the beach..??? The answer seems so obvious to me I just cant figure out why she doesnt see it that way...lol.Change the location and see if sounds similar.... ..Then for the final week the mother shows up as a surprise....Yeehaw, what a fvckin surprise...Too make things worse she arrives on a Sunday and I have to spend the day at the beach with everyone....No Chicks anywhere because its November and here I am in the drizzle at the BEACH...WTF is that..I would much prefer the darkness and messiness of my living room.and my friends from FOX...Just when I think this ordeal is done my girlfriend says we are going to go for a fvckin Ice Cream cone...what am I 11 yrs old......Too make things worse my girlfriend goes oh no dont worry about it DAD, Brads got this one.....I look at her like are you on glue, I cant stand these people why would I buy them Ice Cream....when I could spend this 26 dollars on Western Union fees...I know I cant say this because I will have to hear about it for 2 hrs after the fact......26 dollars for ice cream...Usually i wouldnt care but when it comes to them i pick everything apart because they drive me insane....Anyways they are gone now, and I do not know how some of you guys put up with this on a regular basis...You are to be commended...
