We're having family over for Boxing Day - meant to all be arriving at 1:30 but my cousin has announced she'll be an hour late and as we're all faffing around doing the last bits of the cooking, the doorbell goes and my uncle and his boyfriend are at the door. They live 15 minutes away, so have absolutely zero need to arrive this early! Plus, they're the most high maintenance of the lot in terms of needing attention and having zero social cues (or skills, tbh). If it was up to me, I'd have told them to go to the pub until we're ready, but since my Dad is hosting and he's too kind-hearted they're launching into long-winded stories.
I find social situations REALLY draining and this has already been a hard few days since my sister's in laws have been staying. Very tempted to spend the next half hour doing my makeup r e a l l y s l o w ly until other people are here.
Also, just because I'm gay as well doesn't mean we're on the same page about everything, you Brexit-voting irritants. Stop acting like we're best friends when you see me once a year.
I know IABU, but why oh why do the most annoying people arrive early?! Can't everyone just be on time?!
