Sometimes, your family is just funny.

Sim Kid · 08-08-2009, 03:32 AM

Mom suffers from the inability to knock on the door. She just barges right on in and gives you a heart attack....and at the same time is unable to realize that it is much more convenient to just walk up the stairs and knock. The door is closed to keep the dogs out and the headphones are on to keep my dad from bitching.

Mom: *finally walks up after yelling for ten minutes* KEEP YOUR DOOR OPEN AND YOUR HEADPHONES OFF!!!

So then I do that...10 minutes later, dog comes in and mistakes my magazine for a chewie.

Mom: oh your fault you left the door open.

Then I play music....

Dad: TURN THAT MUSIC OFF THAT IS WHAT THE HEADPHONES ARE FOR!!!!

It's a vicious but funny cycle...except that my dachshunds have consumed at least 7 magazines by now. >.<

Close Door

Lock Door.

Put sign on door that states you must knock loudly before being allowed in.

...Take the time to explain to your mother the reason why you both close your door and wear headphones, then also explain that it's incredibly rude of her to just shout up the stairs to attempt communication with you.

Or get a gate for your door and play the music quietly. Whichever. *shrug*

I work at Subway...you think signs are actually going to work?

Also you can contribute your own stories to this too.

My mother constantly confuses me with Darkness. Our names share no letters. None and he's about a foot taller with really long hair and a beard. I'm average hair with absolutely no facial hair. But I look much sexier. Also I'm not allowed to speak back when I get made fun of. I'm just supposed to sit there and be quiet.

Oh, and for my moderate insomnia I'm just supposed to lie there not doing anything. Till I finally got her to let me listen to an mp3 player. And since I'm home during the day and like to eat lunch I eat to much.

These are just a few of the things my parental units do.

I'm sure that a very obvious joke is flying over my head with this sentence.

Panfan · 08-08-2009, 07:35 PM

my family's extremely funny, but for nothing like this.

if you wanna know what christmas is like at panfan's house, take my snarkiness (fyi "snark" is probably the best word ever) and multiply it by five. Six I guess, but my brother-in-law is usually more laid back than all of us.

You'll learn through working at Retail Hell or some place like Subway that customers tend to not read signs. :P

***CaptHayfever*** · 08-08-2009, 11:28 PM

"Hey, how much is the 5 dollar footlong?"

"Do you sell sandwiches here?"

"Where are the new releases?"

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I actually really hate the word and fear how popular it's becoming. I don't want to have to hear every other person use it.

(I remember when it first hit semi-mainstream use like nearly a decade ago, and it was dumb then. The revival is confusing and disturbing.)

Luigiman7 · 08-08-2009, 11:54 PM

Sometimes I think people do things on purpose. Everyone's a troll.

Panfan · 08-09-2009, 09:58 AM

^^ I just like the word and how it sounds.

t3hDarkness · 08-10-2009, 02:25 PM

None of my family if familiar with the idea of thinking before speaking and two of them have pretty short fuses.

I use their own anger against them and laugh when they are angry at me.

Sabrilocke · 11-19-2009, 07:32 PM

Yeah, I used to have that problem too. Back when we lived in a house my mother'd like to come knocking my door down when I was downloading soft porn and talk about this weird old scammer woman who says she can channel dead people (and sounds like Sheila Gish when she does it). My sister'd also come in to complain about anything from the handles on toilets to her rabbit hating her choices in clothing, and after a while I just got sick of it and started locking the door. I'd tell them that I had my music on loud and wouldn't be able to get the door without being alerted by a knock. As a precautionary measure, I'd put disturbing pictures on my desktop as wallpapers. That way, when somebody started talking about something I didn't care about, like people smearing boogers on the walls in public restrooms, I'd minimize whatever I was doing and they'd see the disturbing picture and leave.
Wasn't so lucky when I had a room in an apartment, because the lock to the door'd always be broken.

Sim Kid · 11-28-2009, 02:56 PM

Another rather similar thing is this somewhat humorous event about feeding the dogs.

See, because we all wake-up and come home at different times, we came up with a system so that one of us will be able to know if we fed the dogs or not. It's a rather simple system, but it's rather amazing how unable to comprehend it my sister is.

Sister: "Hey Sim Kid? Have the dogs been fed yet?"
Me: "Does the card on top of the dog food read, 'been fed dinner'?"
Sister: "Yes."
Me: "Then they've been fed. Simple as that - don't feed them again."
Sister: "Oh..."
*three minutes later I'm running down because she's feeding the dogs again. -_-*
