Reentering the office after Christmas can be particularly overwhelming. You'll find everybody huddled together, each recounting their own dramatic holiday saga, which usually involves a few or more 'loved ones'. Granted, family dinners are like taking part in a reality show, minus the cameras. My personal motto that has served me well throughout the years: When in doubt, say nothing. Also, lie — a lot. Or rather, omit as many details of your life as you possibly can.
Moreover, if somebody says they don't need your help, don't push it (Unless it's your mother, then you should definitely push it, otherwise she will sniffily accuse you of treating her home like it's a hotel). Assuming you went to your partner's family for the holidays, you must be on your best behavior times a thousand. It's just how it is. I guess some AHs didn't exactly get the memo.
Scroll down to read about one such idiot, who relentlessly offered his 'help', even though it was obviously coming across as extremely rude and unnecessary. Way to spoil it for everyone. And feel free to check out these very blunt signs that aren't afraid to tell it how it is.
