15. My MIL has been driving my wife to the edge (and sometimes beyond) for nearly 50 years.

And my MIL who is now 89 is still sharp as tack. They typically scream at each other and then remain pissed at each other for several days when I go down with my wife to see her folks. My FIL and I just go out and drink a few beers when they get going. No physical violence, though.
