Worst gift:  For this past Christmas, DH and I received a Mr. and Mrs. Claus set from MIL.  They are the ugliest things, because they have springs up their butts, and it looks obscene.  It is so ugly that we put in back in her attic with her Christmas stuff.

        Signed - Insanity Claus
       ( I can top this )

        Per the poster's request, no response necessary.

Oh, Boy!  The near latest news.  Get this cr@p.  We moved out of MIL's territory and started renting a great house.  The landlord said at first that it was only temporary.  Then, he said that we could rent year round.  Then, the offer to owner-finance the house to sell it to us came up.  Three days after we told MIL, the offer changed.  It then became $5000 down to buy, or we would have to move (yup, buy it or leave).  That night, DH called his family to tell them that if we couldn't come up with the money, we were out.  His father gave him a schpiel about not having the money.  DH wasn't asking him for any, he was just telling him that we might have to move, again.  Now, the offer has been again changed.  We must come up with the full sale price or we're out.  I can't prove it, but I suspect that MIL is behind this sudden change in our landlord's offer.  She's been trying to break my DH and me apart since before we were married.  Just wait until the next story - about our mail!

        Signed - Oh, Boy!

I am from different country than my DH's family.  They have always spoken in very insulting terms about people of my background:  We are over privileged, promiscuous, lazy, greedy - you name it (like they would know).  If they took note that I was listening, they would always say, "Oh, but of course, we don't mean YOU," and keep right on saying things like what a shame it is that people of my nationality have such poor morals, no spiritual development, etc.  Then, act really surprised and hurt if I take offense or leave the room.  What especially hurts is that DH just doesn't support me much.  He says that I shouldn't feel the way I feel, etc.  Now, another member of his family is about marry a member of yet another nationality, and the family is beginning to talk in exactly the same nasty terms about this young man's people (who they also know nothing about).  I believe, however, that this guy is going to give this bunch of thugs as good as they give.  It should be interesting.  Maybe I will stay around long enough to watch.
