Why are MIL's so extremely carzy and annoying?

Why?
Or is it just me?

It's not you.

My wife has a great mother in law though. ;)

wots a carzy.

She likes cars. Duh.

Or, it's a car cozy, like some knitted thing your great aunt Sylvia made to put over your car to keep it fresh and pretty when not in use?

It's not universal, but it's certainly common.

My theory is that it's jealousy, plain and simple. "Who are you going to listen to? Your own mother? Or some stranger off the street [size=1]whom you married[/size]?"

I'd like to see a poll on who is crazier -- the wife's mother, or the husband's... Hmm. I'll be right back.

Okay, here's the poll, with obligatory spelling errors.

My MIL is just weird, but I've said that before right?

nevermind!

carzy = bog, john, shitter..... usually spelled with a k, though.

In Canberra, Australia's inland capital city, it gets pretty chilly in winter. Yet a large number of houses are cheap weatherboard units thrown up in the 50s and 60s, and have no goddamn insulation whatsoever.

So some "artist" got all the little old ladies to knit 20cm square patches, then sewed them together to form a giant tea-cosy for his house. Just to make the statement about insulation, I guess.

We now return you to your regular programming.
