A family dinner accidentally set off a major disagreement between an aunt and her niece.

Families: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. No one knows how to push your buttons more than the people you grew up with. And unlike most others you meet in life, most of us try to keep the peace with our families, even if we don't always get along. That's why this situation, told by u/wtf_Jana, ended up being so explosive and awkward.

The OP shared this malicious compliance story that took place over a Christmas holiday that the OP and their sister took to the Philippines. This family has their own history between this aunt, who tends to run her mouth until she gets into trouble, and the sister, who wasn't afraid to stand up for herself. It just goes to show that some people don't appreciate what they have until it's gone. I'm sure the aunt wishes she could go back in time and take back the terrible things she chose to speak out loud.

Check out this fascinating story below, as well as the commenters who cheered on the OP's sister. After that, these people shared the realities of working at a company with a hip culture, and a peek behind the curtain reveals that some places are super toxic.
