Some of our relatives have this super power of being a nuisance. They can effortlessly steer conversations toward controversial topics, share unsolicited advice, or, as Reddit user Prestigious_Nose_188's sister-in-law, show up unannounced.

Sadly, it sounds that Prestigious_Nose_188's SIL wasn't even trying and was just thinking about herself.
As her story went viral, the woman provided more information on the situation in an edit of the post and its comments
People who read what happened unanimously said it's the sister-in-law who's out of line here
