On Wednesday, the comic posted a nine-slide carousel of text-only photographs to Instagram, laying down her largely banal commandments for household journey. The guidelines first debuted in Handler’s 2025 ebook, I’ll Have What She’s Having, however apparently wanted a re-upping. “It’s family vacation season, which means it’s time to reread the rules,” she captioned the put up. “If you want to vacation with me, these are the rules.”

The letter — which, as Handler wrote within the ebook, she as soon as despatched to her prolonged household by way of e-mail — begins along with her observing that her friends had displayed a “shortfall of manners,” leaving her feeling “embarrassed and taken advantage of” throughout visits to her L.A., Majorca, and Martha’s Vineyard properties. The guidelines are largely smart. If somebody is carrying bins, provide to assist. “Do not complain about food while you are eating it.” Acknowledge the “existence” of supply drivers and housekeepers, and deal with them with respect. “Do not roll your eyes repeatedly or even, ever.” Be variety to your moms.

And then, this being Chelsea “I’m going to fuck the governor” Handler, there are a few oddball decrees. She asks her friends to not end “bottles of Belvedere that I purchased, or ginger ale I flew with across the country.” God forbid somebody breaks into the particular model of ginger ale that, in keeping with Handler, will not be out there anyplace else on the Vineyard.

For probably the most half, Handler’s mates appeared to agree along with her very meticulously drawn boundaries.
