basically they were talking on the phone and he said he was going to Buffalo Wild Wings tomorrow (they have some special deal on Tuesdays). My mom said she doesn't like wings, but said that I do and I would go with him. Now my uncle is gonna call me after he gets off work tomorrow. What the gently caress? Who think it's acceptable to make arrangements for other people? This is why I always tell my mom not to talk about me and not to tell people what things I like: to avoid awkward situations like this. I don't know what to do. My plan right now is just to ignore the phone call tomorrow. |

Tell your uncle it's more like Buffalo Mild Wings, then he won't want to go with you anymore. |

If your uncle wants to watch Nickelodeon with you, tell him it's more like Mild and Lazy Kids. |

Tell your uncle about your Taco based plights. He has probably been through this before and will have good advice or be weirded out and leave you alone. Either way you win.

My Mom does little things like this sometimes, less as I get older. I'm sure it's coming from a good place, it's not like she knows you hate wings and your uncle and is rubbing her hands together chuckling maniacally

To weigh in on the topic with an actual answer, ECT needs to work hard on social interaction. Having a meal with a family member would be a very small, but definitely helpful step. Do it, ECT. Have a meal with a family member. Enjoy it. Let go, relax, and have a meal.

If it's big rear end Latina teens it sounds more like it would increase my chance of having a heart attack and/or spilling salsa |

Just tell the truth my friend and say to your uncle "look, my mom just sorta volunteered me for this and I just found out about it today. I already have plans, and I'm sorry but I can't attend." Maybe throw in a "Haha, your sister is crazy as hell, right? Looks like you got roped into yet another wacky situation!" then just set the phone down next to a looped recording of the theme song for "That's My Mama!" |

Two things: If you aren't going just because you're scared it'll be awkward, we'll if it's boring or whatever, you'll have a shittier evening spent worrying about standing him up if you don't go I can guarantee it. However, you shouldn't do something just to please someone else but it might be fun! HotSoapyBeard fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Mar 7, 2017 |

I say go, but take your phone and put it on the table, and check it every so often, opening up the browser. Do this for longer and longer periods of time until you're just eating while reading your phone. |
