16. They always try to bring up something they think you won’t know about electronics, but when you know about it, they get mad.
17. When you talk about anything electronics related they call you a geek.
They think that since I work for a large telecommunication company, I get stuff free. When I tell them I am not BGR, they get mad and look at me as if I am lying and just keeping all the great deals to myself. I tell them to stop reading my blogs, read BGR because he is the man and I just cuss a lot.
They post anonymous comments, driving you insane, and you end up blaming the wrong person.
18. As soon as you mention the term “blackberry” their eyes start to roll and the entire family throws turkey dinner at each other, ending in a chaotic biblical end-times version of “National Lampoon’s Christmas vacation”
They continue to extend their Verizon contracts, so you can’t get the iPhone you desire.
what is this the pity post you wat us to bring MR.T in on this?
