Moment Killers

[Brooklyn2010]

Everyone was laughing at the previous joke and there was the inevitable pause of silence in between the stories being told; the silence became unbearable. At this moment, my grandpa's mouth formed these words,
" So I went to the doctor and he had some good news for me."

As seemingly invested as we appeared, we reluctantly inquired what this good news was.

He responded with this, " Well, he told me that the aneurysm hadn't grown much since the last time I had been in, and that at this point, it couldn't kill me."

... Wait, what the hell??? We didn't even know he had an aneurysm!... We were all just having a good time, actually laughing at the jokes and stories but then, boom! He had to go and be a moment killer. It was silent again for a solid 10 minutes after his exciting news over not dying. This was the biggest, but not the only Debbie Downer moment that occurred at my household today so....I need confirmation that other people have just as weird, if not worse,relatives. And, I want to hear yours too. Awkward, funny, embarrassing, moment killing stories from the holiday season, or not either way, post them. :-)

[Epidemic*]

Wow, that must have just shut everyone up.

[raychull]

Oh man. that is awkward. but at least he's not going to die. well. eventually. but not as quickly, you know?
okay. /awkward.

[Brooklyn2010]

Wow, that must have just shut everyone up.
Yep, it sure did!
Oh man. that is awkward. but at least he's not going to die. well. eventually. but not as quickly, you know?
okay. /awkward.
But it's okay, he should be able to get a stint in it or something... I dunno. He'll be okay for now.. I think...? haha

[SomedayTheFire]

Well your family will never be as bad as the Walkers, Brooklyn ;-)

[Brooklyn2010]

Well your family will never be as bad as the Walkers, Brooklyn ;-)

Ahaha, no... but I could marry into it.. and then it would! Justin. Mine. haha Anyways, yeah at least I don't have a dead cheating double life father who has an illegitimate daughter who's in love with my druggie soldier brother and a sister who also married a cheater, and a brother who is or isn't still married to his wife due to infidelity issues also.... Seems like Kevin might have the least amount of issues on the show, but he is the most controversial character! Kevin rocks.

[raychull]

Yep, it sure did!

But it's okay, he should be able to get a stint in it or something... I dunno. He'll be okay for now.. I think...? haha

well, I wish him and your family the best.

Yeaaaaahhhh but Kevin got married to another man :-0 hahahaha
Omg we could be like brothers and sisters (pun intended) if we both married in, you can have Justin and I'll have Kevin :-)

Edit: Kevin has infidelity issues too, don't forget the him and Scotty while Jason was off in Asia.

[Brooklyn2010]

Yeaaaaahhhh but Kevin got married to another man :-0 hahahaha

That's true. But he is at least happy, right? I haven't watched it in a while...
YES! haha, pun taken brother! I would die. Justin + me and you + Kevin = best couples eeeeeevvver! ;-)

[SomedayTheFire]

[tomakebelieve]

We had a moment killer a few weeks ago at my Aunt's. They're fucking awkward as hell. =/

[mattybobviously]

My grandma, here from Maine, slipped yesterday and completely fractured her shoulder and arm, we've spent almost all of the past two days in the hospital.

That's a Thanksgiving moment killer.

[kelevra]

wtf?

[brandnew=love]

Well my family left on vacation... so I almost ended up being alone on Thanksgiving... isn't that a moment killer?

I'm sorry to hear that. How is she doing?

It is :-(
Almost!? You mean you weren't alone! Yay!

[brandnew=love]

It is :-(
Almost!? You mean you weren't alone! Yay!
I wasn't! (: it was amazing, darling! Another friend invited me over and I went and ate and her friend had asked her to go help at the salvation army (setting up, feeding people, and cleaning) so I went and helped... so it was just great.

Good! That's so cool! I'm so glad you weren't alone. I've never done the Salvation Army thing before, was it fun?

[brandnew=love]

Til Monday... :/ I'm going shopping today though!
Good! That's so cool! I'm so glad you weren't alone. I've never done the Salvation Army thing before, was it fun?
It was fun! I mean I didn't do that much... but just helping was great! But then it's sad thinking about everyone that has so much less than me and like it made me feel more appreciative of everything I have. Enough about mine, I want to hear all about yours! (:

Fine, but my mother is going to have to leave us for the next eight weeks to live in Maine so that she can take care of her.

[Brooklyn2010]

Oh dear. My prayers go out to your family. I hope your grandma makes a speedy recovery. And I hope you can manage with out your mom for so long.
I have a friend who is going through the same thing; except his aunt is just counting her days at this point. His mom is living with her, a few hours away until the time comes...

[Closet Fan]

I'm not sure if this counts, but here goes. I went with my girlfriend's immediate family to visit her aunt and uncle for Thanksgiving. In order for the story to make complete sense, I will provide just a little information about her uncle Paul. It is rumored within their family that Paul is a child predator. Although this has yet to be proven true, all the signs are there. For example:

1. His name is Paul.
2. He has a push-broom mustache.
3. Playtime with the nieces and nephews often gets a little too physical.
4. When holding a small child, or when in the same room as a small child, his eyes burn with longing.

Well, anyway, my girlfriend's little brother Ryan and I were having a discussion about his aunt and uncle's plans to sell their home. He went on to say, "Well, whoever buys this house is in for a surprise 'cause there are at least a few dogs buried outback." Seeing as Ryan and I were alone, I responded with, "The dogs aren't even the issue, Ryan. Only God and your uncle Paul know how many little kids are buried out there." When he didn't laugh, I turned around and there he was, push-broom mustache and all.

My cousin whose like addicted to drugs got tested for STDs. Good news, he's not HIV positive, but he does have something else. I stopped listening after the convo went from.. "Speaking of tests, I am not HIV positive... but."

Before the topic of conversation was AP tests (my other cousin is taking a few).

i had to google what a push broom mustache was but upon finding out, this was hilarious. and scary..

sorry to hear about your crazy relatives though brooklyn. i've just recently discovered that my grandparents are not only extremely cool, but loaded as well. i have about $1500 in savings bonds stored away that i had no idea about. the weirdest thing about this all is my tarot card readings are all coming true one by one.. chin up though. it could always be worse.

When I was in France on the French exchange it was Passover.
My exchange's family was Jewish.
We went to his grandparents' apartment.
We were having a good time.
His grandpa tells us how his family were all gassed by the Nazis at Auschwitz.

That is great! It's nice finding money in unexpected places! My neighbors just found an account they had saved with $8,000 in it. Now they can use it for all their medical bills.
What else has come true?

well.. at first i was telling everyone how it was just all based on luck, i didn't believe it in. sure enough, my first card said 'you will start arguments' and then my second card read 'you will try to force your opinion on other people'. later on i got the 'you will come into money very soon' card.

glad to hear your neighbors hit it big too.

Oh I see. I don't believe in that stuff, but it's interesting to here that it came true.

Buzz Killington

[PadraicPrincess]

Ayiii that sucks, and is very sad. I don't think I've ever had that bad of a buzz killing situation.
Other thann...I was in Quebec City, the old part, on a class trip, and me and a couple of friends went to the Red Bull Rush Crash Course thing, and it was soooo amazing, siiick ice routes with crazy skaters on them, blasting Daft Punk with huge crowds and a whole boat load of French people. We decided to head back and just as we get there, out teacher screams "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN WE WERE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE 10 MINUTES AGO (to catch a train) GET YOUR LUGGAGE NOW"!!!!!! (this is all in French might I add, so it sounded even scarier.) The rest of our class was already on the bus. We felt like shit, and needless to say it was a huge buzz kill.
This doesn't compare at all t your story though.
