My mother in law lives about 50 miles away from us but it’s all winding B roads which makes it a bad journey at the best of times. She gets these ideas in her head that are then completely set in stone and so must be followed to the letter, and she decided she would come and visit us today.

Given that it’s blowing a gale and the rain is torrential, we pretty much begged her not to bother and now DH has been called into the office so it’s just me here. But of course she jumped in the car and made the journey anyway.

It took her three times as long as usual and all she’s done since arriving 2 hours ago is stare through the window looking miserable...

I should probably let her in.

I’d tell her to fuck off and stop blocking your driveway as your CF neighbours need that space!

I had to read the last bit twice, because I thought I’d misread. Well played, OP. Well played. 🤣
