Ah, the holidays: A time for gift giving, family gathering, and passive aggressive rage flames. Here are some well-meaning but totally backhanded digs we heard over the holidays. Add your own in the comments. It feels good to vent.

From: Grandma

What she said: "Wouldn't it be nice to be in a relationship so you don't have to have roommates anymore?"

What we said: "I like my apartment; did Mom show you the new bar cart I found?"

What we wanted to say: "Literally the only thing harder than finding an affordable apartment in New York City is meeting a guy good enough to make you move out of it. If you know of a site that lists cute 1-bedrooms stocked with single guys, send it the hell over."

From Mom:

What she said: "It would be so nice to have some babies around here soon to open presents!"

What we said: HAHAHAHAHAHA.

What we wanted to say: HAHAHAHAHAHA.

From Aunt:

What she said: "Have you heard of this thing called Tinder?"

What we said: "Um, yes, kind of."

What we wanted to say: "If I hadn't heard of Tinder, I wouldn't have touched a male in over a year. So. Yes, yes I have."

From: Mother in Law:

What she said: "Did you REALLY cook all this yourself?"

What we said:" I sure did, hope you enjoy!"

What we wanted to say: "Just because Im not giving up my career to cook three meals a day for your precious angel of a son doesnt mean I cant figure out which end of the turkey is which, lady."

From: Mom

What she said: "Maybe its time to see a therapist."

What we said: "Yeah, maybe that could help."

What we wanted to say: "I am already seeing a therapist to try and resolve my relationship issues before Im doomed to die alone, THANKS!"

From: Mom:

What she said: "Did you go outside at all today?"

What we said: "Oh, haha, I guess I haven't!"

What we wanted to say: *crawls back under covers, fighting back shame waves*

From: Brother

What he said:"If she can wear that, then I dont have to get dressed."

What we said: "Then dont get dressed."

What we wanted to say: "Then dont get dressed."

From a STRANGER at a Christmas party:

What she said: "I lived in New York and would have worked forever, like you, if my husband hadnt moved us to Virginia. But really, you cant work forever and wait to have kids. You should do Match.com. My sister did Match.com and shes 42 and just got married and had a baby."

What we said: *Awkward polite laughter*

What we wanted to say: "Save some of that white wine for the rest of us "
