Yep. SIL. She's one of those kinds of peoples.

I was out mowing lawns in the middle of the summer when I was 17. Stopped at their house to pick up my 13 yo nephew so he could make some monies helping. Didn't take off my baseball cap. SIL asked me if they made a rule that I couldn't wear a hat in their house would I still come visit. I said no. She asked if it was more important to me to wear a hat than to visit them. I said is it more important to have me NOT wear a hat than have me come visit?

She told my other brother (not the one she is married to) that he should shave his beard. He said you don't like beards do you. She jumped at the chance to say "No, no I don't." He said, "Well, I suggest you don't grow one."

I have not trimmed my beard since I went into the hospital for my foot at the end of July last year. Before Christmas she asked if I would get my beard trimmed before I came over to their house for Christmas dinner. I said I don't think so. She said well, it's just that all the grandkids don't want to see you with your beard so long looking like a homeless person. I said, I bet they don't care. In fact, the first time one of my nephews saw me was when I was right out of college and he remembers me looking like a wild man with my long beard.

I was riding the back seat. She turned and made the comment that of all the people and family they know, they know the least about me. I said, well it's probably because I'm such and introvert. My brother about wrecked the car laughing.
