The Golden Rule for Surviving Family Gatherings
This meme highlights a common social strategy for attending family events: maintaining personal autonomy by driving your own vehicle. The image features a man smiling and giving a thumbs-up from the driver's seat of a car, illustrating the relief and freedom of being able to leave a social obligation whenever you choose. By ensuring you aren't dependent on others for transportation, you avoid being trapped in situations longer than you would like, allowing for a quick and easy exit.
You forgot the most important part, arrive late or parking where you can leave without having another 30min conversation with the people blocking you in with their cars
Just lol at not being able to drink, just lol at being forced to drive like a countryside bumkin, just lol at having bad relations with your family.
Second rule of family gathering: do not, under any circumstances, host the family gathering.
Your feet don't work?
Alternative: skip them altogether
first rule is save cab money so you can get mad drunk
Who else's vehicle would you bring? Also, leaving whenever you want is always an option
Arrive on a Harley. So they know when you arrive and know when you’ve chosen to leave. Make a scene. Today is a rare day. Make it about you.
Remove the word "family".
Alternative: always bring your own alcohol so ppl leave on their own and you will be driven home.
