My girlfriend and her family are weird. What do I do?

people in england say "hoover" also ... i feel like that one is less strange than the others

Business ... the heartbeat of America. Ah, the hell with it, I'll bite. Start with screwing up the almighty brand/trade names when you ask for something.

I.e., at the table, "Please pass the C&H."

(It's Domino's sugar right?)

This could be seen by the family as a bizarre act of betrayal.

Or "I need to RediVac the house too." (It's HOOVER)!

"Oh yah, Hoover."

Then up the ante. "Can we change the channel on the Panasonic?"

(IT's A SONY DAMMIT!)."

"OK, OK, the Sony! I'm sorry honey. It won't happen again."

See how far you can push flubbing up the brand name envelope. For what it's worth, this is similar to the faux-threads (i.e. 45 SWM, gorney's Powerpoint presentation) just to get a weird discussion/thread started. Guess I'm easily amused today.

Maybe they've watched the Truman Show too many times or are paid to endorse products.

When they start to say pass the gas, get out.

I bet they even said pass the kleenex... oh wait, that's not strange at all

Yes hoovering the house is the way a Brit vaccums so that one is definatly Aok but the other thingys sheesh, I find myself laughing at some of the posts and shaking my head at others. I still hoover up to this day!

Does her mom like to f***?

The apple never falls far from the tree.

Sprint the f*** outa that deal.

b0b

maybe they just dont know words mean, and simply call everything by what it says on the box, anyway, that is f***ing hilarious

Dude, they're pulling that shit with you now too? Don't think about f***ing with them because they are the ones f***ing with you! That's the joke of it. When you leave they laugh their asses of at you.

Best thing you can do is f*** their little princesses eyes out after they've gone upstairs to bed. Make sure it's loud enough for them to hear and force her dad to come down to investigate. Then yell, "Hey Dad, can you pass me those Levi's? You can keep the Fruit of the Loom. Your girl has my fruit of the loins all over her." Then you can get the hell out of there.
