Family is like Wi-Fi—when it's strong, it keeps everything connected, but at times, it can get weak or even (randomly) disconnect.
So since the holidays are getting closer and closer, we decided to put together a list of pictures showing how inconsiderate we can be to our closest loved ones.
Some depict simple everyday life situations and others highlight more serious moments but hopefully, they will remind you to be kind, cherish the little moments, and laugh together along the way.

My Brother Left My Original Super Nintendo Outside In A Box For Years
I’m actually heart broken. I left my original, working Super Nintendo and collection of games (that my late mother gave me) at my parents house when I moved in with my now husband. I assumed it was safe in the attic for the past 5 years. When I came home for Christmas this year my brother tells me it’s ruined.
He had used it at some point apparently, then brought it back to my parent’s and left it in the side yard in a plastic storage box. He said he'd "check on it periodically" but never told me it was there or moved it literally 20 feet into the garage. If he had just told me it was there I would have flown home just to move it to the attic myself. When he "checked on it" this year, the box had broken down and everything was ruined by water.
I’m so upset. Especially about the Dr. Mario. It was so special to my mom and I that I got a Dr. Mario tattoo the day after she died.

My Mom Took A Bite Of My Birthday Cake That I Bought For Myself
Yesterday was my birthday and to celebrate i bought 2 slices of cakes after work for me to enjoy, but because it was late i put it in the fridge to eat later. I was a little stressed recently so when I got off work today i feel happy because im about to enjoy some cake which i havent had in a while, but when i open the fridge lo and behold my mom took a bite out of them. Yes she knew it was my birthday yesterday, no i dont think she cared. I might be a little overreacting but im feeling more than a little upset over it. I know its not a big deal but its just the principle of the thing, you know ? My mood was immediately shattered.

Mom Called My Job To Tell Me To Lie About An Emergency For An Event, Now I Have To Report To My Supervisor Tomorrow
I am in the US Air Force and my mom had called my tech school to tell my MTL that I needed to call her. I was in class and I get my phone every evening. Now my MTL wants to talk to me tommorow about the message. I just passed my inspections and supposed to upgrade next week. I literally joined to get away from her and now she’s telling me to lie to my MTL and tell them that my uncle got in a car crash even though it’s for my brothers graduation which I can’t go to because I have school and she knows that. This infuriates me so much.
My Mom Was Supposed To Come Visit For The First Time In Like 15 Years, So I Stayed Up All Night Smoking A Brisket. She Flaked. I'm Not Even Surprised
My Father Refuses To Wear A Seatbelt
Is his life insurance policy paid up? Edit: And are you the beneficiary?
In the UK, the driver is responsible for ensuring all passegers are wearing a seatbelt (unless the have an exemption) and it's the driver that gets fined, and 'points' on their licence. Basically that means I refuse to drive someone who won't wear one - they walk.
Exactly. We were off on a three week holiday in France. MIL was sitting behind me and would not put on her seat belt as it would not go around her - MIL was plus size. Opened "Daddy's Magic Bag" and tah-dah . . . a seat belt extender. She didn't speak to me the whole way down to our rented house (500 miles) or for three days after that. It was BLISSFUL.
Load More Replies...I just saw an ad for these on YouTube a couple of days ago... how is it even legal to advertise these, much less produce them?
Always wear a seat belt and never, ever put your feet on the dash as a passenger, I’ve seen crash results from someone doing this and it’s not pretty
I saw a horrendous one the other day in the news. It was a girl who had her feet on the dash and her knees slammed into her face, breaking many bones and requiring that she have part of her scull removed (on her forehead) for (I think) two years.
Load More Replies...Has he ever seen a car crash victim who's hit the dashboard windscreen? Not pretty. If he's a US citizen hope he's got good insurance cover!
This is the point where nature helps out with the ''natural selection''
We have roadside cameras in Australia now that can see if you've got your seatbelt on and if you're holding your phone.
Bolt a spike to the middle of the steering wheel that he can't remove, aimed at his chest.
So? Who's the parent here? If your father is a moron, there's nothing you can do to change him. Move onto to something you can change, like stop worrying needlessly about the old fool.
Oh, one of those idiots. Is he in the USA ? I'm in Australia and it's illegal not to wear one. If the cops pull you over and you're not wearing one, it's a bloody big fine. Apart from being a potential serious injury / death risk.
He wants to see what it's like to be shot out of a cannon when he's in a wreck.
i hate this! my son got into an accident during his senior high school year in a small pickup - think toyota.. the impact caused the engine block to end up between him and the passenger. the impact also caused the seatbelt to jam and he was trapped. eventually, he used a piece of metal (from the engine?) to cut the belt and then get his friend out. ever since he has refused to use a seatbelt and it infuriates and scares me.
I sometimes get annoyed with the whole "toxic masculinity" stuff but he's definitely one of the "safety is for bitches" crowd. I've met many of them before.
As we used to say in construction "Don't knock Health and Safety - the life it saves might be yours!"
Load More Replies...As long as he doesn't force other people to not wear their seatbelts, this is his problem. He'll be the one dead or scarred when he has a crash.
Someone in the comments will inevitably come in and go "oh but I wasn't wearing one and got in an accident and the paramedics told me I would have died if I'd had one on". Congrats, you're the one in a million person where that was the case, now stop advocating for things that are statistically terrible ideas.
Okay and I thought the idiots who put the chest strap behind their backs was bad!
Sorry if I'm blind, but what has this fool plugged in t9 stop seatbelt alert going off?
There are exemptions (in the UK at least) such as "driving a goods vehicle on deliveries that is travelling no more than 50 metres between stops" because you don't want the beeping beeper going all the time and you're not allowed to disconnect it. So you use the clip to keep things quiet until you have to drive to the next location at which time you'll be using the belt properly.
Load More Replies...They help keep a crash contained to a smaller area decreasing the likelihood of others getting involved.

I Have To Live With This
This is the current state of my room! I try to clean it weekly, make it so that it's an enjoyable place to be in. Me, being gone for the weekend, apparently gave my mom permission to reorganise her room and shove everything into mine.

My Mom Is A Hoarder
The Way My Brother Leaves The Computer Closet. He Just Dumps The Stuff He's Done With And Doesn't See A Reason To Move It Or Clean It Up
He once left a bowl of instant noodles for so long it began to grow mold.
My Mom Popped All My Coffee Pods
My mom popped all my keurig coffee pods, almost the entire box’s worth because "they were too full and it was kinda annoying to close the drawer" I would have just put them back in the box they came in if she asked. They’ll all go stale now and she doesn’t see the problem.

I Was Working In The Icu During Christmas Dinner. My Family Sent Me Pictures Of The Feast And Were Saving Me Leftovers. Today I Received Those Leftovers
Not even a bun or a measly potato. I’ve missed a lot of family dinners in the past and usually they send me ham, turkey and plenty of sides. So it seems I was an afterthought this year. I know I should be grateful I got something but it still feels pretty bad.
I honestly don't think you should be grateful for THIS at all. It shows how much - or better, little - they think of and about you and that doesn't deserve any gratitude.
My Dad Kept Trying To Ring Me Despite Me Telling Him I Was In Class
I Wake Up Nearly Everyday To My Dad Still Not Knowing How To Throw Garbage In The Garbage Bin
I couldn't finish to read all of this... I was so irritated with people behavior... I know, I'm crazy because I'm disturbed by other people experiences but arrrrrrrgggg .. I need to go and touch some grass
I usually go to the comments first. If I see people saying what you said, then I know I don't want to read the post because it's going to frustrate me.
Load More Replies...Am I the only one who realizes how easy a lot of these are to fake? "They made a huge mess for me to clean up!" Or that could be your mess. "They took a bite of my cake!" Or you could have taken a bite of your own cake and just taking a picture of it. "My teenage sister made a huge dinner and nobody ate it!" Or an adult made a normal dinner and just took a picture of it before anyone sat down. Seriously, pandas, y'all fall for ragebait *really* easily.
We were brought up to look after other people's things as if they were your own. Trouble is, some people don't take care of their own stuff either.
This is exactly why I hate most people....including family. Most of these are family. 🤬
Makes me happy I was an only child and had caring, normal parents.
I am so sorry to all these people. I have never experienced anything like this. I was taught to be considerate... and while my family has had some crappy things to say about my life choices they still treat me with respect. These human beings needs to be removed from the Earth!!!!!!!
