If you’re angry with your family members because they don’t close the toothpaste after they use it or because they throw their socks all around the house, rest assured that this is nothing compared to what really “talented” relatives can do. And believe it or not, cutting lemons like a butcher is not the worst thing in the world.
We at Bright Side are convinced that there are no perfect relatives, and here’s a compilation of photos from people that learned this truth through their own experiences.
“When my husband goes out in public like this”
“I’m lucky to have a husband that keeps me laughing basically every moment we’re together.”
“Found out my kid had this on his school classroom wall all year.”
“My husband eats apples with a spoon. Please explain it to him straight.”

“My mother took a haircutting course 9 years ago. With just a little practice, she confidently lured my brother in for a haircut. This is the result.”
“Tell me your family is crazy without telling me your family is crazy...”
“My dad eats everything in halves and then puts it back.”
“My son teased his sister and she threw a Switch controller at my parents’ 75-inch TV.”
“My mom replaced the paper towels.”
“My mom borrowed my gaming mouse because she lost hers. This is how she returned it.”
“This is how my sister eats Kit Kats.”
“My little brother likes using way too much toothpaste, which would be fine if he wasn’t so sloppy. I have to hide my own clean ones from him.”
“The way my family uses toilet paper — all of these rolls have at least one more comfortable wipe on them.”
“My wife doesn’t pay attention to what we already have when buying groceries.”
“How my family eats muffins”
“My wife is a monster and takes pills from blister packs completely at random.”
“My boyfriend eats burgers his own way.”
“My mom thought this water bottle was dishwasher-safe...”
“My dad never finishes a tube of toothpaste before buying and using another one.”
What do your relatives do to test your patience?
