“They come to my house bicker and argue, mess up my house,” Marie, from Sunset Park, told The Post. “They come here and freeload.” She chose not to disclose her last name for privacy purposes.
“It’s Christmas and I gotta do all the cooking,” added the Brooklynite, who gripes about being a grouchy octogenarian as TikTok’s “Bad Granny.”
“Somebody’s vegan, somebody’s lactose intolerant, someone doesn’t eat beef, the other one doesn’t eat chicken,” she groaned. “I can’t take it anymore.”
And the no-nonsense nana isn’t the only one bracing herself for the Yultide tiredness.

Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
