    Unrelated side note…why is it always the uncle thats used as the personification of the asshole in the family???

    I’m an uncle. I don’t get drunk and ruin thanksgiving. I don’t molest my niece. I don’t berate people into listening to alex jones podcasts.

    But it’s always the uncle used in those descriptions. Maybe we should start admitting that sisters, and brothers, and moms, and dads, and even cats can be the asshole of the family! Not saying uncles can’t be…just why is it ALWAYS uncles???

      Uncles: Close enough to be an obligation invite, distant enough that they aren’t around and doing that stuff all the time. Perfect scapegoat.

      Have you considered you might be able to get away with a bit of dastardliness given the stereotype?

      Knick an extra slice of pie at Thanksgiving; get your niece an exciting gift that outshines all the rest; start your own podcast about the different bowling alley oiling techniques and berate your family to be on an episode!

      Embrace your inner uncle - in moderation.
