Dont get me wrong, I really do love my family. I think we all do in the end......but for crying out loud I surely cant be the only one who finds these people absolutely insufferable sometimes? The following paragraphs will absolutel REEK of preachy, whiny, bitching but just bear with me, I think most people can relate which is why I made this topic.
A smidge of background, I am a 20 year old single male still living at home with my folks. Not because I want to, I already tried moving out once but the work I had lined up fell through, so I had to move back. The words "I told you so" still echo.
I love my folks and always help out when I have to. Dishes, vaccuming, you know pretty basic stuff, but tonight they have just gotten to me more than usual.
For starters, mum thinks that just because she works at a computer all day, that qualifies her to know everything there is to know about the internet and viruses. "A 50mb download, thats REALLY huge!" She says. Recently I had a virus on my computer, a very complicated one that I had to remove over the course of a few days and still copped flak for how I didnt "just re-install Norton". It's an ongoing argument.
But tonight, I had about a dozen people over for some casual drinks. The first people I've had over my house specifically in easily 8 months, so I was feeling pretty good about it.
I told my folks exactly who was coming, and that we would be drinking and probably being loud, despite the fact that it is currently gushing down rain here and we couldnt even hear ourselves speak, let alone through two closed doors. Midway througb the night, out they storm, all cranky because the dozen 18-22 year olds they knew were going to be here have apparantly woken them up (or more accurately, woken our dog up, who has then started barking).
I know that this is pretty typical bullshit everyone has to put up with from their folks, but thats exactly why I made this thread, so that everyone could submit their own stories of parental stupidity and finally get those words out that they have probably been wanting to bellow for a while.
Go for it.
