This is literally the situation with my mother in law.

My SO is an only child and I would describe her mom as having more money than sense (at least when it comes to her kid), so we're careful about mentioning anything that we need to go and buy or anything like that around her, or we're going to get a month's supply of that thing, every time we visit for the next six months.

I'm pretty sure we said little more than "we should pick up toilet paper on the way home"... Next time we were there, my trunk was filled with the stuff.

So we're rather careful about what we mention around her. She means well, but I don't have the space to support her filling up my home with toiletries on the mention of having to buy it.

I appreciate that she cares but we take care of ourselves in that respect.

A friend of the family is like that. I don't know what I am supposed to do with a machine that makes grilled cheese. Like okay one in a while, I don't need to make 40 at a time.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Want. Gimme dat grilled cheese specialized device!

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Seriously? You want one of those seen on TV kitchen appliances that if you act now comes with a tote bag and is probably going to catch on fire?

I gave it to Goodwill if you must know.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Awh, I just got fired from Goodwill!

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Was it for stealing a grilled cheesemaker?

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Nah, it was for a technicality. I'm in a dramatically better company now. No more fake nonprofit nonsense.
