Stupid mother in law
She is a very nice lady. Nice and simple.
She refused to valet park her car once at a restaurant with valet parking only because "They might not know how to drive this car" - it was a standard 5 speed automatic transmission on a 1990 car - if it had been a stick shift, then fair enough. As it was, she had me give her directions around a parking lot as she didn't know which way round to go!

Another time, she called as she wanted hubby to change a light bulb for her! If that wasn't bad enough, hubby was working so I popped round there laughing my arse off. When I got there she said "Where's Mr. WBM? You can't change a light bulb, you're a girl!". After sniggering and snorting I changed it for her. She then had hubby make sure I'd done it right.

The worst thing she did though, which I could still kill her for:
On my birthday in June, my grandad died. I decided he'd still have wanted me to have my party that night, as there was nothing I could do being in America anyway. Hubby invited her and said he'd drive us (as I would be drinking). She gets to our place, hubby is out on a job so I asked her to drive. "I can't drive, I get lost. Rick should be here. I'm sorry Sue, I don't care if your grandad just died and it's your birthday, you'll have to drive us". So I did. Scared the shit out of her, too, little cow!
Then, when hubby didn't turn up for the meal, I got pissed off. Very pissed off. So was swearing about what a wanker he is (as were my friends). The next day, she demanded I apologise for my behaviour, and drinking too much on MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY PARTY.
