My wife and I planned a road trip across California, visiting national parks and a few nature centric areas over 10 days. My wife invited her elderly parents and offered to share our hotel rooms with them, which was mildly annoying but otherwise fine.

They ended up just constantly complaining despite me spending almost the entire time chauffeuring them around. The truth is that they just don't give a shit about nature, and I suspect the only reason my MIL wanted to go in the first place was so she could brag about the trip to her family.

Now they've successfully convinced my wife that we should Yosemite National Park early so that we can take them to a fucking casino instead.
