Listen, you silly bitch (a.k.a. my very first--albeit lame--pit thread)

The BBQ Pit
21

Thank you all for your hilarity. It has helped me to put her bad attitude in the I Don’t Care File.

To answer questions: cainxinth, troub and JuanitaTech, the band is Good Charlotte. “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” sucks my will to live.

She’s just kind of bitchy in general, but this is the first time that she’s been bitchy in my direction. She and I have always had a casual, polite relationship. Sliceguy has, on occasion, said that she’s an overopinionated bitch.

Green Bean, I dig your shoes. I have a similar pair myself for canoe trips. They are durable and dry out quickly.

22

Don’t be to hard on his sister. Yes, she should not have sent that e-mail, she shouldn’t even be feeling that way. But, did your SO tell her why you didn’t want to go? Maybe she just thought you didn’t want to spend time with him.

(Good Charlotte aren’t that good. New Found Glory is though)

23

Or underwear.

If someone bought me shoes from Peter Fox, I wouldn’t complain…

:wink:

24

Oh, she knows exactly why. When she called to ask for birthday ideas for him, she asked what I was getting him and I told her, along with the aside that it should be a good outing for him and a friend, since it obviously wasn’t my scene.

Also, in the aforementioned email, she made a comment about how much better her SO was in comparison to me, because she’s making him go to a concert of a band that he hates, and he’s not complaining “too much.”

Did I mention that she’s also planning her large, extravagant wedding? She’s so much fun to be around. :rolleyes:

And Guinastasia, she has gotten him underwear before.

25

Hi there Slice …You know, I have to say, evil sister in laws (possibly a “sister in law to be” in your case) are unfairly, grossly underrated. Everyone goes on and on ad nauseam about the nasty, conniving mother in law…It’s high time the Evil sister In Law takes her rightful place in the Bitchdom Hall of Fame.

Believe me, I know of what I speak!

Shoes??? Please…She’s sooooo jealous of you.
Oh, and Guinastasia …Peter Fox shoes are to die for!

26

Um…meant sisters in law…oops;)

27

Shoes. Man, she put a lot of thought into that gift, eh?

As for Good Charlotte, they also choke on my large cock of indifference. Along with QOTSA, The Strokes, The Vines, and The White Stripes. Then again, I’m still spinning my Ozzy CDs quite happily, so that probably says something about me.

But that’s another rant. :wink:

28

Shana, I agree with you fully. Sisters-in-law are oft overlooked as far as matters of malevolence go. Future MIL is totally psychotic in completely new and different ways, which did not go unobserved by my best friend who saw this thread and emailed me that

Now tell me about your sister-in-law. (Although, I’d like to say that I will end up with two really really cool brothers-in-law once the deal is sealed.)

29

Oh dear…Well, I got a raw deal in the MIL and SIL department as wellSlice . Both are completely nuts, manically selfish, narcissistic, devious, horrid creatures…I’m trying to think of a really good evil SIL story for you…hmmm…I’m drawing a blank.

I guess she just gives off this general air of disdain towards me. Initially she was quite pleasant with me. I fell for her “I’m so glad you’re marrying my brother! Now we can really be sisters!” B.S. She even had tears in her eyes when she said it! She is truly a Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde. She will be all sweetness and sugar one minute and then the next I’m scunge on her shoe. I used to try to figure her out. I used to try to be friends with her - but bah! Life is too damn short to waste on contemptible asshats. (Wow! I finally got to use “asshat” in a sentence! Yay!!) My husband says she is insanely jealous of me and that’s why she behaves this way. Urrgh. Whatever. I actually don’t know that I really care why she is such a bitch. She just is one - and I try to steer clear of her as much as possible. My husband is fed up with her too, so we don’t have to see her much! Whew…

Hey, I’m glad you’re getting nice BILs though…That must be some consolation for you!!!:wink: Oh, and hopefully your musical taste will one day rub off on your SO!

Update: According to a source that I shall not name, future SIL has concoted a plan to MAKE me go (and thus be, according to her, a good significant other), by going to visit a friend in the next state and getting “stuck in traffic” on the way back.

**What. :mad: The. :mad: Fuck.:mad: **

Excuse me for one moment.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Okay, I’m done.

31

Jesus, what a fucking cunt. I suppose the best revenge really would be to for you and your fiance to keep going with your relationship the way you want to, and for her to see how happy and close you two really are while she is crashing and burning with her paramour because she’s been such an insufferable bitch to him. We can only hope that may happen.

32

Indeed, she is her own punishment.

It’s not so much that I’m angry that she’s self-righteously trying to teach me a lesson (and an ignorant one at that), it’s that she’s making her brother upset and I bought those tickets so he’d enjoy himself, dammit!

33

What is her problem?!? Is she really so concerned that you’re not going??? Is she just trying to cast a bad light upon you? What do you think is her motivation/agenda here?? This is an SIL with wayyyy too much time on her hands IMHO.

34

Slice, don’t be angry at the Evil Sister. She’s not in your sphere of responsiblity. That’s what Sliceguy’s for - to act as a buffer between you and his family. He should shout at her; in fact, he has a responsiblity to.

Let me give you a piece of married-man advice: never get into direct conflict wth your in-laws. Always sic you SO on them; that way, you’ll always look like a saint. And what can they do to him, stop being his family? They have to love him.

35

Ooh, great effect. A 10.0 from the Russian judge!

And kudos to whoever invented that, if it wasn’t slice.

36

Hey, you know what would really piss her off? Hire a hooker to go with him.

37

Extremely wild guess: She sounds very manipulative, and she’s trying to make her treatment of her SO/fiance look more normal by pushing slice into going. (Remember how she’s making her SO see a band he hates? Maybe her SO is starting to get “rebellious” thoughts at seeing her brother’s GF be so cool.) I expect that if/when slice begins to plan a wedding, psycho SIL will start interfering as well.

IANA psychologist, but I am a married woman with 5 sisters-in-law (most of whom are way better than the one under discussion).

38

slice I think you are going to be quite the wife, so ignore that silly pile of shit.

That being said, I had to deal with similar issues with my wife’s family who are used to getting their way. Like dogs, you need to train them firmly and always let them know who the damn Alpha dog is or they will try to run you over (not the nice ones, but then again your not worried about them).

My slutty shit-eating SIL showed up the day of my wedding (which she was a part of) saw my best man, and seriously told my wife that “she was marrying the wrong guy and should go after him instead”. Her advice ignored, she (who is married with 2 then, now 3) then proceeds to chase my poor best man the entire weekend, openly, in front of her husband and her entire family. Said husband was not amused, and best man was wisely not interested in her skanky ass.

The night of the wedding, she was more and more obvious to all as she got drunker, even chasing him to his hotel room. He shot her down, again. Before you feel sorry for her husband, realize that she was seriously engaged (real close to the wedding) to another man, while he was chasing her, flying cross-country to crash her girl’s weekend, ect. He ended up knocking her stupid ass up, and the first engagement was cancelled. So he cannot act surprised.

So I cannot stand her, and she knows it. Her husband’s a dolt too. However, her kids are great, and we love them, and so I hide my disdain for their parents from them.

My MIL and FIL are used to constantly getting their way (usually by guilt or complaining) and it was a rough patch for a bit while the power relationships were worked out, but now we get along really well. Polite but firm, with occasional losses on the “I would rather not do this” front, but I didn’t need to win every battle, just the war.

FWIW, be polite but firm from the beginning. As far as the SIL, a heaping dose of frosty disdain should do the trick. Luck!

Ferret Herder, I believe you have nailed it.

Fortunately for us, we decided about six months ago that we were going to quasi-elope (wedding with less than 15 people there and just one family member–my only sister). After next June, SIL can cry in her soup all she wants because it’ll be too late to interfere. And by eloping, it’ll showing her (and a few other family members on both sides that need to be shown) that it’s about our marriage and not about what they want, thus preventing the nightmare that elf6c described. We’ve already started to rehearse saying, “now that we’re married, you may not stop by unannounced/make assumptions about what we are doing for holidays/guilt us into whatever.”

Green Bean, your suggestion (unfortunately) is about 12 hours too late. The concert was last night. Bitchy Sister showed up late, but they went and had a good time. I strongly suspect that she showed up under threat of aforementioned anonymous source (a.k.a. cool future brother-in-law).

neuroman, I didn’t steal that from anywhere, but I’m sure it’s been done before. I’m glad I got the 10 from the Russian judge (and not those scandalous Canadian judges).

So, in conclusion, my future sister-in-law has chosen a seemingly inocuous incident to show her true colors. At least she did it over something relatively minor. I fully intend to take Alessan’s advice and make her future husband’s problem. Although, with fiance, cool future brother-in-law, and the teeming millions on my side, I think everything will be juuuuuuust fine. :smiley:

Oh God, I hate them too! They suck so much ass that I don’t have to pay for liposuction anymore!

You’re a sweetie for getting him the tickets. Tell your future sister-in-law to lick the cheese from the folds of your labia.

Ewwww. I just grossed myself out.
