I'll start.

Stop drooling over my food and get your own f*cking food!
Stop loudly sighing every five f*cking seconds!

Don't do whatever you want and then ask me afterwards if it's O.K. to do it!
Don't tell me what to do....when I'm the expert!
Don't try to force me to pay attention to you!

Now....back to me..........

Stop yelling hello or goodbye from another room!
Stop yelling about anything from another room!
Stop making so much noise!
Stop expecting me to be interested in every little thing that happens to be interesting to you at any given moment!!!!!!

OK, I'll play...

No, I'm not interested in what major you've changed to...for the third time...in as many hours.

What makes you think that talking on the phone in a loud voice next to me on the couch while I'm watching TV is a good thing to do?

Actually, I'm NOT interested in anything that Tyra has to say about anything.

What is so hard about cleaning the stove after you cook? And, oh BTW, it's easier to do if you clean up as you're going - just a tip for you.

No, I won't slow down any more. I'm already 5MPH below the speed limit and people are running up my ass. If you're scared, stay home.

I don't live with anyone, but we do share a kitchen and the bathroom. Hence...

1. Stop leaving hair in the shower stall. It's disgusting.

2. Stop having sex at 3 in the morning. I can hear you.

3. Clean your own mess. I'm not your mummy.

4. Don't whine because I don't share. I paid for this with my own money, I can do whatever I want with it.

I can't live with people. Heh.

I have most of these reactions too. I find it weird to share same irritations with INTJ's :laugh:

so:
1) I can't listen to you while I read, sorry, stfu.
2) If I'm not staring in your mouth while you're talking doesn't mean I'm deaf!
3) I don't care about your new hair cut, I didn't even notice it.
4) Stay away from my computer.
5) Do not touch any of my possessions actually!!!
6) I heard you!
7) If you feel sad or unrequited it's enough to say it once, i understand and I can't cure you, why insist?
8) If I don't wanna see/hear it, doesn't mean I'm stupid and arrogant, I just know it from the first glance that I'm not going to like it at all. (though there's a 10% chance I might be wrong, I'll take the risk)
9) When I say 'what' and you say 'nothing' cause you think I am mocking you, well I am not and I am so f***ing pissed. You'll never understand I really decided to give you a chance and you blew it - again.

this is the result of living with 2 ENFP's and occasionally an ENFJ!!! wraaaagh you ppl! I am not like this, you screwed my perceptions... oh, oh poor me, poor me

Well, here's some of the things that people do/say generally that seem to cause me to move toward critical point.

Do I care that your sister's friend's cousin's mum's dog died yesterday? No.

For the 30th time, I will not go to your birthday/christmas/end-of-year/end-of-week party!

If you want to read about celebrities and kill millions of brain cells, fine. Just don't inflict it on me!

Oh, you split up with your boyfriend/girlfriend? Tell someone who cares, nitwit!

You can tell I have an allergic reaction to >75% of conversations!

OH MY GOD! My kids drive me crazy with the following:

2. 1. Talk... or eat... make up your mind, but don't try to do both at the same time. IT'S NASTY!

3. I don't mind you having a dirty room (I have one myself), but PLEASE don't bring your nastiness in the common areas of the house; I like to get away from nastiness from time to time!

4. CLOSE THE DANGED CLOSET DOOR!!!!

5. Trash does not belong on the floor AROUND the trash can; it belongs INSIDE OF THE TRASH CAN! If it's full... TAKE IT OUT!

6. If you leave your bike in the way of my truck tomorrow... or any other day from now until eternity... I WILL SMASH IT WITH MALICE (and then back over it for good measure before I peel out once more on the exit, giggling maniacally)!!

7. Mail is for GROWN UPS! That's how some of us keep track of bills. Don't pretend that you were moving it in an effort to clean the kitchen... It was not in your way!

8. Don't touch ANY of my stacks! I know where everything is, and if you move it I WILL BE LOST!!!

GRRR! None of my roommates told me when they were leaving for Christmas break, so I and one other roommate ended up taking all the garbage out and cleaning the fridge (which neither of us even use and isn't included in the suite). Unfortunately, we didn't know that they used the freezer. One of them had been to busy (lazy...) to throw away some meat scraps from a takeout meal and put them in the freezer compartment. They were left in an unplugged refrigerator for over two weeks. The person who left them did clean the fridge when they returned, but only moved the meat scraps from the freezer to the garbage can in our room, which didn't even have a liner. We were lucky that the plastic bag holding them didn't break. Finally, the smell got bad enough that the roommate who took the garbage out with me and I took them out. The other roommates were there and didn't even offer to help. I was so angry!!!

And what is wrong with you, people who leave clumps of hair on the shower stall walls? Get some hygiene!

Mom:

-Stop singing. Sorry to come off rude, but you're terrible at it.
-I love you. Stop assuming I hate you because I tell you that you're bugging me at some particular time.
-Stop talking about my childhood
-Stop giving me endless praises. It gets really tiring after a while
-Stop being such a drama queen at times. Your life isn't a Hollywood movie
-Please please please respect my privacy more:
1) Don't walk in and if I'm on the computer read the screen and ask what I'm doing. Why do you think I close the browser every time you walk in now? No, it's not porn, it's just things I'd like to keep private.
2) If you see an assignment on my desk, or if I'm doing homework, please don't read the whole thing and then question me on it. I know what I'm doing.
3) Don't start a discussion about a book when I'm reading it. I'm not finished with the book yet how am I supposed to know?
- STOP TELLING ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS YOUR LITTLE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT ME! THIS GOES WITH THE PRIVACY PART AND IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING YOU DO TO ME! PLEASE STOP THIS I'LL TELL YOUR FRIENDS WHAT I WANT TO. DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS ON MY MOOD, FEELINGS OR MINDSET BASED ON MY EXTERNAL ACTIONS/REACTIONS. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME. *caps lock*


Dad:
- Please have more patience. When I am teaching you about how to do something on the computer, I assume you know what a hard drive is. If you don't, just tell me instead of yelling at me for "blabbering about computer jargon". I'm just trying to help you like you asked.
- Ummmmm.... Nothing else you do bugs me really. You just need a bit more patience.

Mom:

-STOP telling me what to do
-And STOP telling me that others should be allowed to tell me what to do
-Don't walk in for no good reason. I don't enjoy your company when you do that.
-STOP calling me those pet names you have for me. It'll only serve to embarass me. You might think you're displaying your love for me through that, but you're really making everything worse. You think they're cute, but I think they're abominable.
-Don't tell the maid to spy on me, or encourage her to
-DON'T tell people what I want. YOU don't know that.
-DON'T think you know me inside out, because guess what? SURPRISE? You don't!
-STOP telling everyone I'm sensitive; I may have been in the past, but it's not the case anymore.
-Don't think you can read me, 'cause you can't. Don't assume I'm feeling something I'm not, nor assume that you, or many other things affect me emotionally.
-Read my words LITERALLY. Do I have to spell it out? I mean what I say and I say what I mean. ASSUME NOTHING.
-DON'T tell me I should be this way because I'm a girl. While I may be one and can reproduce, reproduction is NOT my divine responsibility as you say it is and I can damn well choose not to. The dictations of nature ain't got nothin' on me.
-Don't tell me I'm too self-centered. Independent/Individualistic =/= self-centered. If anyone's self-centered, it's probably you, who can never be wrong.
-Just because you like to work with people who are agreeable, sociable and think jobs stress the importance of social skills more than profession skills, doesn't mean everyone thinks that. I happen to not like working with people and you just can't grasp the notion that sometimes friendly debating with another intellectual individual, who, by the way, is not you, can sound like a fight but really none of us mind.
-Just because you think I mean 'I hate you and you're stupid' by 'This point is illogical', doesn't mean I really meant to say that. But by the way, I'm not sure how I feel about you.
-STOP treating me like a prisoner or a servant, or that I have a sacred debt to you.
-STOP making me burn incense. I'm NOT Buddhist and will never be. As much as I like the philosophy, I think the practice is a waste of incense, if you don't mind.
-DON'T tell me religious people are more moral than secularists and therefore I should be religious; cause they're not.
-DON'T impose tradition on me. It'll only backfire and make me hate you.

The reason for the litter box is for you to poop in it, not around it or down the sides of it.

Please do not sleep in my suitcase when I leave it open before or after a trip. Your orange hair does not add appeal to black pants or blue sweaters.

I can understand horking up the occasional hair ball. Kindly try to hork them up in the same place so I know where to look for them.

I know you love me. There is no need to run that diesel engine purr of yours in my ear at 0400 in the morning when I am trying to sleep.

I give you fresh water every morning (spring water at that!!). There is no need to drink out of the loo. You are a cat, for Christ's sake, not a dog. Act like it.

Poor widdle kitty. :(

To my maternal parenting unit:

1) Yes mother, I have returned from the shops, and I am alive. You do not need to verbally assault me with a barrage of questions about what I did, what I did when I was at the shops should be pretty obvious.

2) If I'm wearing headphones, it means DO NOT DISTURB!!

3) Do not walk into my room when I'm not home, and throw stuff out. I hoard things, it's my nature.

4) Stop telling me to "look happy". If you want me to look happy, leave the room.

To everyone:

1) Stop asking me "how are you?". It is the one question in the world that I don't have an answer for.*

Stop making noises with your mouth, it's stupid.
Stop talking so loudly to your family on the phone.
Stop existing, I want my own room.

1.)Stop telling my friends that I must be looking at porn cause I'm on the computer so much. I'm on the INTJ forum damn it, leave me the hell alone.
2.)When you take all of the towels out of the bathroom to wash them, don't complain when water drips on the floor when I can't find one.
3.)Just because the door shut doesn't mean the pantry is organized, or the freezer for that matter.
4.)Stop opening the door to the garage and just throwing stuff out and shutting it - someone's gotta pick that stuff up.
5.)Is it so hard to grab another roll of toilet paper when it's almost out, why does it always run out only for me.
6.)The counter is not a filing cabinet.
7.)Talk to me when I'm sitting at the table, thats why I'm sitting there. Stop waiting until I get up and am halfway out the door before you start talking.
8.)when I roll my eyes in disgust means "SHUTUP" - must I actually say it out loud.
9.)It's 5th grade math damn it, please don't tell me that you seriously can't write 5 1/8 in decimal form. And quit offering my help to your friends with there elementary kids school homework - it's elementary school grade math.
10.) The gas pedal is the one on the right - USE IT.
11.) When I say I hate my job, I mean it - how many years does it take for that to sink into your head - I'm only going to my job for your benefit.
12.)When I say I need my space, my time away - it simply means I need regular time away. How damn hard is that to understand.
13.)Stop repeating yourself, I'm not the only one that finds it annoying. Everyone heard you the first time.

Stop thinking that everything you do is just fine and if there's a problem it's someone else's fault! Oh....how could it ever be you?

Stop forgetting what was said in a conversation and then make stuff up that just happens to fit with your agenda!

The problem is that some people, when they get asked that, basically spill out their entire life story. :(

A few more:

1) When you ask me a question, please keep your brain switched on for at least a few seconds, so that you can hear my answer the first time, rather than me having to repeat it. And don't give me a filthy look when I get pissed off with your behaviour.

2) Yes mate, boobs are fun to look at at. However, you don't need to say "wow, she's hot!" everytime someone over the age of eighteen walks past. It gets annoying.

3) No matter what your brain dead uncle taught you, the following equation is incorrect:

penis size = engine noise of V8 x size of subwoofer in the back seat

4) How did I know the name of the capital city of Spain? Easy, I found it either in an ENCYCLOPEDIA or on the INTERWEBZ. Stop asking me "why are you so smart?" and open a goddamn book once in a while.

5) Stop giving "subtle hints". If you want me to get the point of something, hit me over the head with it.

6) 15 x 16 = 240. Stop being amazed by my mental arithmatic; it's me using my brain not a party trick.

7) I am not ignoring you, stop getting offended by my thousand yard stare, I'm zoning out. My brain takes in a lot of information, and it's my thoughts get lost. It's like a snakepit inside my head. Just make sure I'm awake before you start talking, ok?

Ah, I feel so much better. :thumbsup:

This is exactly how my former-roommates behaved. They hated that I wasn't interested in the stupid things that go on in their lives. I remember I hated how they all would sit and their lives would dwell on one particular roommate's relationships and friends. The worst part is when they all started to gain an incredible amount of weight and their expanding asses was the most repulsive thing ever.

Then I remember how the roommates on my side of the apartment were so nasty dirty and one had staph infection and would take a shower and never cleaned it. I mean if you have staph infection and you give a shit about the people who have to share the shower with you, you should definitely have to clean it. Obviously, they didn't. I also hated how they would wash their hair and it would all fall out and there would be little mountains of hair in the shower. So much hair that they could probably construct a small animal out of all of the hair.

But the girl I live with now is cool, clean, and awesome. I'm actually pretty lucky. :)

Hmmmmm. Where to start...

Dear housemates:

Don't just walk into my room and plonk your arse down on my bed. It makes me want to throw you out of the window. Access to my room is by permission only; if I don't say you can come in, sod off.

Yes, I eat a lot of pasta. I like pasta - it's quick and easy and I can put it with many many things. I don't comment on your bizarre addiction to aubergine-based lasagne, so stfu about my food preferences. Thanks.

My life is none of your business. If I don't tell you something, it's because I don't want you to know. Please don't force me to tell you this to your face by asking me about it.

I don't want your advice. Ever. Save it for someone who cares.

Yes, I'd rather spend time with my 'internet friends' than with you. Perhaps you ought to consider why that is.

Don't go weird on me when I say something honest to you. If I tell you I don't want to walk to uni with you, it's because I hate walking in with anyone, not just you. Ditto watching films and TV, or going shopping. If I *really* disliked you, you'd know. Trust me on this.

Don't twist my words. If I say something's 'bollocks', I don't mean it's 'cheating'. Please use a synonym, not a random other word you've decided I actually meant.

I have better things to do with my time than remove your hair from the plughole. Thanks.

If you play your guitar after midnight again, I will snap it and garotte you with the E string. I hope this is clear.

If you don't know the answer to a question, don't just say something false to avoid admitting that you don't know. It pisses me off and makes me not trust you.

Don't try to force me to socialise. It will not work and all of us will end up annoyed.


Dear parents:

Don't just walk into my room without knocking. I am not above buying a lock and fitting it in secret.

If I say something annoys me, don't keep doing it for your own entertainment and then get pissed off when I snap at you. If you behave like a moron, I will treat you like one. Your fault, not mine.

Don't get offended when I decide to go back to university early or stay up there over the holidays. The silent treatment only confirms my belief that I would rather be away from you.

Stop following me round the house. I need at least eighteen hours per day to myself, and having you trailing me round like my shadow is not conducive to my general sanity. Or yours, once I've finished with you.

Calling my boyfriend 'lover-boy' got old about five minutes after you started doing it. Yes, your little girl's all grown-up now. It's happened to many other parents before and it's really not that interesting.

Don't touch me. At all.

Stop insinuating yourself into my hobbies. I'm sick to death of starting something and then having you turn up two months later to 'help out'. GO. AWAY.

I'm not interested in your racist views, so stfu. I'm especially not interested when you look to me to see how I'm reacting to them, so keep them to yourself. Cheers.

Don't bitch at me about each other. If you have something to say, say it. Don't whine at me.


... I'm fairly sure I'll be back to this later.


I was right. Again to the parents:

If I was interested in whatever you're reading, I'd be reading it myself. As it is, I'm not, so please stop reading chunks of it out to me. It's tiring, nodding and pretending I care.

I don't care about the patterns you've coloured in, either. Well done - you can stay within the lines. Now let's see if we can master keeping the enjoyment private. You're not four; I shouldn't have to praise you for this. So stop it.

Girlfriend constantly "organizes" and stacks my shit. I never touch her shit. Her shit is her shit. I don't want my shit stacked. Ever.

Also, she leaves for work before I do, and every morning the toothpaste is in the medicine cabinet. So every morning I have to open the cabinet to get the toothpaste out. Why can't we leave it on the vanity? OMG ITS SOO GROSS TO LOOK AT!

But her hair dryer, combs, mirror, and my gel, shaver, and our mouthwash can remain on top of the vanity. Just not toothpaste.

She also tried to jump out of our dorm window when me and my other friend were tripping on shrooms.
I know this sounds awful, but I actually laughed when I read this. I have a really twisted sense of humor.

You can bring a drama queen to the window, but you can't make her JUMP!

This thread is awesome. I live alone now, but spent several years under the same roof with a man, so I am going to contribute.

1. Quite trying to cuddle. I can't sleep. This is a king bed, not a damn futon, so stay on your side.

2. Don't update me with weather reports. It rains in Oregon. This is not news.

3. Don't read out loud. I can read, process, and move on to something else by the time you start. Don't torture me.

4. Please don't repeat yourself. I remember EVERYTHING and repetition is mental abuse.

5. I didn't disturb your intellectual pursuit of 'jackass' so don't get offended when I want to read a book.

Okay, I'm done now. That was fun ;D

To the people I live with...yes, I'm talking to you ISFJ and ESTP.

~For the love of God, don't run the vacuum in a lame attempt to wake me up or punish me for not being into the whole "neat freak thing."

~ISFJ...I don't want to clean up after or cater to ESTP just because you think it's my womanly place to do. Just because I have a vagina doesn't mean i'm bound in servitude to him.

~I want to crash and be alone for a few minutes after work. So stop bombarding me with greetings and/or requests when I walk in the door.

~Don't take it personally that I don't want to sit and spend time with you. Your smoking is killing me. Between the two of you, you smoke 4 packs a day. The house stinks. No amount of candle burning or Febreeze spraying will make it better.

~Your love of Law an Order marathons drives me insane. I, too, can appreciate and respect Sam Waterson, but damn...how about switching it up for a change?

~When I actually do watch something on TV, (one hour a month), please don't interupt me with your stupid questions. As you can see, I'm busy!!

~Stop insinuating that I don't "do anything." Just because I don't make a public broadcast everytime I clean the toliet doesn't mean I don't do it. I clean...but it's not who I am. Get a life.

~Don't get pissy because I don't eat your leftovers. I didn't like it the first time around. And if you don't eat it...don't expect me to.

~I am not a scary person, if you have a problem...please talk to me. I might have been overemotional when I was 12, but trust me...after living with a thick-skinned father, I can handle what you have to say. So say it to my face and stop talking about me. (Actually...wait....the fact that you fear me a little because you think I'm going to cry or explode is actually awesome if it keeps you from talking to me. So let's nix this last one.)

Heh.

Roommates:

1. Stop trying to walk into my room when I'm sleeping! It's creepy!
2. Stop asking me to fix your laptop when I'm asleep!
3. Stop telling me to socialize! Mind your own business!
4. Stop asking me for academic help! Do some work on your own before you come crying to me!
5. Stop playing Lily Allen at 5 in the morning! In fact, stop playing Lily Allen period!
6. Do not regurgitate your stomach contents in the corridor. That's sick.
7. Do not knock on my door. I'm usually asleep or studying. That means DO NOT DISTURB.
8. Stop using the copy machine for lewd, retarded photocopies! I use it for academic purposes.
9. DO NOT call my mobile at 4 in the morning asking me to pick you up from Paddington. Before you even place your finger on the number 0, the answer is "no".

To ex:
1. Stop asking me to come down to Oxford! It's bloody expensive and it's just about as interesting as white underwear.
2. Stop trying to get me drunk!
3. Stop trying to recruit me into the cult of Physics! I'm a medical student, damn it.
4. PLEASE oh PLEASE return my things if I forgot them in your room by accident. Keeping my headbands and my cosmetics as some kind of war trophy isn't funny, nor is it cool. I'm starting to suspect transvestitism.
5. Stop calling me at 11 in the morning! I'm in a lecture. Aren't you supposed to be in one too?!
6. At least CLEAN your bathroom before I come. It's disgusting.
7. I like you, I think you're cool, but I am not your mum. So stop asking me to cook.
8. Don't drive like you have Dirty Harry chasing after you. You don't, and it's frightening.

-when i am in the shower, do NOT go around trying to see how many damn water faucets you can turn on. that includes SUDDENLY deciding to wash your clothes, the dishwasher, or your own shower. ESPECIALLY since we only have a 30 gallon waterheater

-keep your scrap papers, mail, candles, flashlights, batteries, clothes, shoes, tools, dripped water, change, or any other misc items off the couters. they are not catch alls. PERIOD!

-blow out those fuckin' candles!

-no, i cannot stand incense. i do not want it here

This is for my roommate:

Don't ask me any of these questions:
- How was your nap?
- How was your shower?
- How was the bathroom? (Would you REALLY like to know?)
- How is your laundry doing? (Well, I put it into this machine that I found, and it's magically cleaning my clothes!)
- How is that *insert food here*? Is it good? (No. It tastes horrible. I just enjoy eating things that taste like poo)
- What is 5-0?
- What is 7-4?
- Don't ever, ever, EVER ask me, EVER AGAIN, if you can smell coffe through the phone
- DO NOT EVER EVER EVER make the statement "I thought you wear condoms to have babies" ever EVER AGAIN

- Don't say "Hey" to me when you walk into the room. Seeing as how our dorm room is very small, I can perfectly well see that you are back from whatever you were doing. (I have gotten into the habit if completely ignoring this "Hey". If it's not going to evolve into some sort of deep and intelligent conversation, I will continue to ignore it. I get it. I know you're back.)

- Don't ask if you can turn off the light/turn the fan on/open or close the window blinds/open or close the window.
- Don't ask me if you can sit in the dish chair I got for OUR room.
- Don't ask me what YOU should wear tomorrow. I ain't your mommy.
- When I'm listening to a song that you know, DON'T say "Oh, this is a good song." It obviously is because if it weren't, I wouldn't be listening to it
- Don't ask me what I'm laughing at when I'm on the phone/talking to someone on AIM/reading a book/watching a video on youtube
- Don't tell me that I "look cute" today. I don't need your opinion or anyone elses on what I'm wearing because frankly your opinion doesn't matter or influence the way I dress

Don't tell me you did the laundry when all you did was wash and dry it. I see the couch is covered with it, and less than an hour after the kids wake up it will be indistinguishable from the dirty laundry. All you really did was waste energy.

Don't tell me anything about Brad/Angelina/Jennifer/Britney/Heath etc. I don't care, just like I didn't care the last time and the time before that.

Don't tell me we're just going to place X, then once we get into the car say 'Oh, by the way, we have to go place Y* too' You know I hate that place and I will let you know that I do.

Just because I use logic when I make decisions, does not make me an a**hole.

Don't start talking once the movie starts, and don't get mad at me when I pause it and give you that 'mock patient' look. You should know better by now.

Watching a movie with person Z in it does not mean I want to know their whole biography. In fact, the less I know about the actor, the better. Chances are the more I know about them, the more I hate them. That is why I can't watch anything with Tom Cruise, Woody Harrelson, John Travolta etc. anymore.


* Y equals place I hate and is likely a waste of time/money.

Actually, if I told her that those questions annoyed me, she would get a sad face, start crying, and me, being a member of this INTJ forum, wouldn't want to or know how to deal with her crying. I try not to say things to her for fear of making her cry. She cried A LOT at the beginning of the year and I was like, "ohh. yea....umm...it'll be okay...."

Not replacing the toilet paper when the roll is done.
Not rinsing the sink after brushing their teeth.
Never EVER taking the garbage out in the toilet (girls washroom)... even when it's so full it's overflowing.
Never doing the vacuuming.
Never cleaning the counter tops/mirrors in the kitchen/bathroom... eventually it looks disgusting so I have to clean it.
Always inviting herself over to talk about things we've already talked about before/pointless to talk about for hours on end.
Sitting on my bed when she invites herself over...
Poking her head in when I have the door half opened (and I didn't expect people to be peeking)... luckily I have pretty good hearing.


Her room's at the top of the stairs, every time I'm going up the stairs, she opens the door...
Asking me how my exam was... (Dude... it's an exam... they're all the same!)
In fact, asking how everything was... (e.g. work, class)

Good luck on your test! (She doesn't say this anymore because I told her that luck has nothing to do with passing a test, or anything else for that matter, so don't wish me luck on anything. Passing a test requires knowing the material, I either studied or I didn't. I know the material or not. "luck" won't help. I explained that to her)

No, I don't want to watch *insert movie title here* with you because I will have to explain what's going on and I don't appreciate you talking during the film. Who cares that she's wearing a 'cute' dress, or that you know that actor/actress, and realistically, I don't think you know them and they certainly don't know you, and I don't care that it's a nice couch they are sitting on.

That's EXACTLY what I go through!
"Did you just come home from work/class?" when I obviously did, because I have the same schedule every week.

"What class did you just come from?"

RM: "So what did you do this weekend?"
Me: "Un... the usual?" *turns back to laptop until I hear her walk out*

Seriously... what is the POINT of these questions?
I can't come home and be left alone! I've developed really really light steps when I walk up the stairs so I can escape to my room without her noticing.
Of course, 5 minutes later, she'll come knock on my door and say "Oh I thought I heard you in there."

My dad has this habit of dropping his keys on the coffee table every time he enters the house. It's SO annoying. I HATE that sound. It's a nice coffee table. STOP throwing the keys on it!! RESPECT the coffee table!! We've only had that coffee table for 3-4 months now; I've been irritated by that key-dropping noise ever since. Recently I was slicing mushrooms in the kitchen, and my dad comes home and drops his keys on the table. I was instantly pissed off, so I viciously mutilated a mushroom and said to my dad, "Can you please stop dropping your keys on the table like that?! You do that all the time and the noise is just awful. So just stop."
And of course, my dad has to do this other thing I hate, which is saying, "Huh?" or "What?" essentially forcing me to repeat myself for 3-4 more times. I swear, no matter how slowly or loudly I say something to him, he just doesn't understand until after I get all worked up repeating it several times.

Also, I hate how my dad always goes in and out the front door 10 times in 5 minutes... and locks the door every time... so every fucking time he goes in or out, I have to hear him unlock the door and open it and lock the door and close it. GAAAAAAAAAAAH!! *rips hair out*

YES!!!!!! Re: repeating yourself a bazillion times, and then they get all pissed off that you're talking loudly, slowly, and enunciating every tiny syllable.

My 'to be' boss explaining everything multiple times, but with different words, is how I didn't get hired for a PhD position at the job interview.

I told him I was perfectly capable of grasping the issue at hand after it having been explained only once and that there was also nothing wrong with my vocabulary and knowledge of synonyms.

He called me a smartass and send me home. =(

But really, it feels insulting when people repeat everything they say. As if you're too stupid to get it.

- When I sneeze don't say "Bless you" just because you think you're being nice or that you should be nice. "Bless you" doesn't do anything for me and it's rather annoying.

- When I drop something on the floor, don't immediately ask me "Want me to pick that up for you?" Umm, no. I can do it. I'm pretty sure I'm capable of doing such a task.

- When I spill my cup full of pens and pencils, don't ask me if I need help. I can do it myself.

- Better yet, just don't ask if I need help with anything. Wouldn't logic tell you that if I needed or even wanted your help, I would ask for it?

- Did your high school even TEACH you logic or common sense?

- In addition to NOT saying "Hey" every time you enter the room, could you refrain from saying "Hey" to me every time I enter the room?

- When I ask you if you are hungry, please don't say "Do you want to go eat?". That's NOT what I asked you. I asked if you were hungry. It's a simple yes/no question. I continue to remind you of this and you still ask me a question when I ask you a simple yes/no one.

....will probably continue to think of more as the day goes on. The list of annoyances is pretty long.

- When I stumble over a crack in the sidewalk or over a rug, but I'm still standing, DO NOT say "Ohmigosh! Are you okay?!" If I'm alive, I'm obviously okay. If I'm laying on the ground with blood coming out of my head and I'm not moving, that's when it's okay to ask me if I'm okay or to get me some help. Otherise MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!

Some things that aren't your business, so stop asking:
- Who called me
- Who I'm calling (You wouldn't know them anyways)
- Who I'm texting (I don't feel like telling you how we met)
- Who texted me (It's nobody you know)
- Why I'm laughing (I'm probably laughing at you)
- What my plans for the evening are (Don't you have bible study 3 times a week anyways?)
- What movie I'm watching (No you may not watch it with me)
- Where I'm going. (My answer: I'll be back later)
- What I ate for lunch/dinner/second dinner/third dinner (Would you like me to barf all over our rug so you can see what I ate?)
- What I'm looking at on MY computer
- Who I'm talking to on AIM
- What I got in the mail

- Please stop asking if I want to go to bible study with you. The answer is and will always be NO THANK YOU.

My reply was, I don't know what to say to that question. You then proceeded to talk some more about professionalism and if socks would be professional and I proceeded to continue to ignore you. Then you commented about how you are going to wear your coat out to wherever you are going because it's cold. Then you talked some more and I completely tuned you out by then to start this post edit. You just left the room to go to whatever it is you went to do. Now I can listen to whatever music I want to because you don't let me listen to half of my collection.

From my college days-

You want crushed ice for your drink? Smashing ice cubes on the counter with a cast iron pan is not ideal.

Putting wooden spoons in running blenders is not smart. Unless you really need extra fiber in your diet.

You took the blade guard off the lawn mower? AND you're surprised that the mower is now throwing everything in your face?

Running a chainsaw in the dirt makes it dull *very fast*.

Let's keep the thermostat low in the winter to save on money- but above 58 degrees, please.

Hear that jackhammer in the basement? That's what happens when you put ALL of your jeans in the washing machine. Putting 100lbs of weight on the machine to steady it is not the ideal solution.

I'm forgetting a ton.

For the roommate I wish never existed:

- Stop having loud sex at 3 am. Yes, I am aware that you and your skeezy boyfriend like to get it on, but I am not interested and I need to wake up for work in the morning, since I'm the only one with a job in the household...

- Stop telling me I'm bossing you around when I demand basic, considerate living conditions. I let you move into MY apartment, you stupid bitch.

- Stop leaving your sex toys in the bathroom. Stop leaving gobs of hair in the bathroom. For that matter, wash your hair more than once a month so you don't even HAVE to leave gobs of hair in the bathroom.

- Teach your idiot boyfriends how to aim when peeing.

- Stop sitting around in the living room with your fat ass in nothing but underwear while you have the heat jacked up to 80 degrees in the winter.

- Start paying the bills you owe me, or I will be removing the internet from the living room so you can no longer use it.

- Get a job. Stop getting yourself fired by feigning sickness 3 days out of every week, when all you really want to do is come home, sit on your ass, surf the web, and screw your ugly boyfriend.

- Your boyfriend is nowhere near as hot as you think he is. In fact, he's pretty damn ugly. He's a hick pretending to be a goth pretending to be charming when he's not, but he doesn't seem to realize that no one believes his bullshit unless they're awfully stupid. I pray to god that the two of you are sterile, cuz there is nothing the world needs less than more stupid white trash.

- Stop expecting me to be friends with you. You are nothing of interest to me except in paying the other part of the rent. Conversations with you are painful and boring. I have no idea why you're even alive, because if I was as ugly, fat, stinky, stupid, and useless as you, I would have killed myself by now.

- Have you seriously not realized how little I care about you yet? Have you noticed how I kinda just shrug and ignore your little manipulative guilt-trip commentary when you whine about having no money, or how good MY food smells, or whatever you happen to be trying at the time? Hey, guess what, when I was unemployed, I got a f*cking job and kept it, that's why I have money and food. It's not rocket science, moron.

- Oh, and by the way, I saw that email you sent to your next roommate whining about how you and I have no communication and how I stay in my room all of the time, not wanting to be friends. You know what, I got in touch with your next roommate and told her all of the shit you did while you were living with me. Good luck not getting evicted after she moves out as well!

Addendum; The more you try this tactic, the less effective it will become. Increase of sex will result in decrease in intimacy - you will become a "sexual mechanism" to me through this course of action. If you want to relate to me, LISTEN to what I have to say and stop insisting that I do as you desire.

I hate it when my room mate thinks that every time I go downstairs that this is some kind of invitation for interaction. It could be 2:00am and as soon as I open the door there he is it's as if he has the house monitored, he's outside and suddenly he appears and just starts talking in the middle of a sentence.

All I hear is that voice on the Charlie Brown cartoon from the teacher.

The only things my roommate does to annoy the fuck out of me is the great pleasure he takes in torturing or embarrassing me. Most of the time it is kind of funny so it is hard to complain. If I get up to go the the bathroom in the middle of the night, he will run and hide in my dark closet to scare the shit out of me. Terrifying but funny.

No, you're just...tired. :blank:
You are just feeling...tired...:blank:

Ok...so what would you like me to do about that? (Because my immediate, internal, response is, "Go back to bed, you do that rather well") I restrain myself, puzzling over an adequate response when you say, "Well, at least you could do is to be concerned!" I was concerned until you said that you were just...tired. Then I determined that there was nothing to be concerned about (because you were...just...tired). I was waiting to hear something that I needed to be concerend about.

But, of course, I was wrong for not fawning over you on the phone, and offering my condolences over your death-defying plight. I was being an ass for doing what I always do, for being who I am, for NOT doing what everyone else would do. Sorry, next time I'll inject a quart of crystal meth directly into my heart so that I can respond appropriately to your...tiredness. Forgive me for being so emotionally desolate as to not do the right thing. Maybe one day I'll get with the program and be normal. We've only been at this for, what...12 years, you'd think I would have gotten it right by now. Excuse my slowness.

Not all...Some of these roommate stories make me feel very lucky. My suitemate has the invisible person act going - I haven't actually seen her in a month, but I hear coming and going her sometimes. Many of these people sound like pigs. I guess this might bother an INTJ more than other types - aren't INTJs generally very neat/clean/structured?

back in college my roommate:

- peed on the toilet seat and did not clean it off
- got permanent purple hair dye on my shower curtain and my phone
- used my stuff without permission when I went away for the weekend and did not even put it back
- got dirt in my bed
- made the room smell like cigarette smoke, she lied on her roommate application and said she didn't smoke b/c her mom was there reading it
- she was a general disgusting slob (people were shocked when they visited after I'd gotten rid of her b/c it was clean when it was just me! they thought i was the cause of the disgusting room before that b/c that's what she told them, needless to say the room she ended up in actually developed a cockroach infestation and stunk)

in retaliation, and because she was at the time refusing to move, I:

- hung up 10-15 white painted masks all around the room that my grandmother had given me
- put a clown screen saver on my computer and password protected it
- made a fake diary about all of the violent things i wanted to do to her and espousing how disgusting she was, and left it out open and in plain view

(she is deathly afraid of clowns and cannot handle a person even having a painted face, she had a near breakdown on halloween when some students dressed as witches with masks on and gave candy out in the classes, they actually banned the students from doing that in the future because of her, even though it had been an annual event for decades and no one else had a problem with it)

I'm usually the problem, the messy one. But I clean once a week and wash all dishes at the end of the day. I also clean the toilet, and don't complain about chores. And yet, extremely neat people pick on me, or maybe just the crazy I'm living with right now.

My previous 2 roomates loved me.

Also, I also don't usually complained about anything. Noise, their friends coming in, leaving the lights on, touching my things, taking my things, sleeping on my bed...I'm impervious. Except I complained one time when my housemate stole my bed when I was away. Bad.

father:

Stop buying me things without consulting me first. This mattress is too large, too fluffy, unwanted, and now I can't easily access my axe for self protection.

I do not care about your stupid day with your stupid coworkers who you can't stand.

Would you please use the milk before it goes bad, or else throw it away when it does?

Stop pretending you know what you're talking about. you don't.

Stop making me repeat myself.

Why do you insist upon asking me 5 questions, not allowing me to answer any, and then getting mad when I don't respond when you think I should?

Go buy a better memory.



My kitchen partners:

If you don't do anything 90% of the time, you have no right to tell me I should wash the dishes rather than drying them.

I don't care whether you want to hear me speak; if you can't follow directions, that's your problem, so stop arguing with me when I correct you.


S.:

Stop typing with bad spelling and grammar on my keyboard.

For that matter, try not to break my keyboard again.

Stop touching me with your foot while I'm trying to type. It makes me twitch.

Stop giving my username to random people you meet online and having them attempt to make us a couple, giving them random details of our lives. It's creepy.


B.:

I love you dearly. If you would just tilt that picture a little to the left. . .

My 'to be' boss explaining everything multiple times, but with different words, is how I didn't get hired for a PhD position at the job interview.


I'm guilty of this myself, actually. I'm so used to talking to idiots and/or people with no attention span, that I find I have to repeat myself for them to get what I am saying.

after one year of hell, i finally got my own place... it's heaven.

some of the things that pissed me off...

- do not play Cher at 5 in the freakin' morning, over and over again!
- do not play Cher at 2 in the freakin' morning..., over and over again!
- don't tell me you're getting fat without exercising and taking the necessary steps to prevent it.
- do not ask me the same questions over and over again... my first answer "i think your eyes are the prettiest features on your face" didn't change.
- don't stalk your ex-boyfriend and then come crying to me when you think he found out about you stalking him.
- don't ask me if something looks good on you everyday... because i'll tell you the truth.
- clean all that hair on the floor... why does your hair have to reach to your butt? it's disgusting.
- if I tell you that my exams start next week and ask you not to be so loud, then do take the time to shut up as I do for you; I do not enjoying listening to your "living with Kardashians" or whatever while trying to figure out the significance of Asahi case on personal jurisdiction.
- the world doesn't revolve around you. get over it.

....

this was all from the same person... who drove me to near insanity last year...

to flatmate P.:

this house is old, you know. the staircase is possibly two century old and all bent to one side, see? if you keep running down the stairs bouncing your 120 kg at full speed, not just you will wake me up every bloody time, but one day the staircase, and the whole house will collapse under your weight.
