my mum hasn’t really spoken to my grandparents (dad’s parents) for nearly 20 years. if she comes to Spain to visit me, she’ll stay in a hotel rather than all meet up in the family home :smiley:

my dad doesn’t talk to my mum’s parents or siblings mostly out of geographic distance/them being pretty alienated, but the effect is the same.

perfectly normal.

This one is a bit too niche for a poll, but when I was living at home and working shifts, they would express surprise when i got home every day. They’d say “it’s because we never know what time you’ll be home”. You do though, because you know what time i left and I basically only work 3 different shifts on a weekly rotation!

goes to the same place on holiday every single time. suggestions that they might stay in a different town, let alone a different county/country/continent are met with blank, what are you, some kind of alien? looks. Extra bonus points if this is the only holiday they ever take

Thry don’t keep their phones off, just leave them in another room all day. If they’re out, the phone will be in a pocket or bag where they won’t hear or feel it. My dad becomes irate when someone doesn’t answer their phone, while simultaneously being impossible to reach on his own.

Oh yeah, they walk off and leave theirs in another room all the time too, usually in a different location to the reading glasses that they need to actually see the screen. When they’re out and about, both of their phones are kept in my mum’s handbag.

I passed through when I was on honeymoon then went on a disastrous holiday there sort of with, sort of not with my parents in 2019. They’re fucking obsessed with the place and get really annoyed with me when I suggest St Ives or indeed pretty much anywhere else in Cornwall would offer more variety.

DON’T WANT VARIETY, WANT MOUSEHOLE

St Ives isn’t that different apart from the art stuff tbf.

Type with your thumb(s)?

At least St Ives has a couple of craft wanker bars. That’s all the variety I need

Phone is too big/heavy. Another example of man designed tech.
