I hope this is a troll account, and if so you have won epically. If not, well that fail is so great "epic" doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of it.

Yep. Another wha wha wha thread by Trident. Time to grow-up little girl.

This. I'm still annoyed by the last thread complaining about his lazy brother. If you don't like the situation, MOVE OUT! If you can't afford to move out (which, if you read the other thread, is not true), then put up with this crap without bawling your eyes out on ATOT every day and be happy that you don't have to worry about paying for bills in this economy.

god forbid you get a used car that's not a honda or toyota. see what happens when you limit your options? your parents go off and get brand new cars :p

seriously though, quit whining. you will eventually find something good, ESPECIALLY if you open up your options.

unless your parents' decisions are sending your family into financial ruin, then there's not much to say but "tough shit"

Parents decide to buy a 2007 Chrysler 300C for $22k. Parents decide to buy a brand new 2010 dodge ram for $47k(wtf? His truck was fucking perfectly fine before AND PAID OFF). They then decide to buy a new toilet(even though the old one was perfectly fine...? and this one looks way worse..). They've already bought all kinds of other crazy shit... Some we should have, some we shouldn't... I don't mind having central air vacuum system or garage door openers now, but now my father decides to buy some god damn 50" plasma from bestbuy today with my half-brother(The 27 year old lazy ass). This irks me because I know he was going for the cheapest POS if he could get... They always think they're good at getting good deals(Which is not true at all) and so now... I'm pretty sure he's going to come home and probably bring some monster HDMI cables with him, right? $300 cables do wonders, right? Jesus... I swear man. I'm just wondering how long it will be before we go back to the "we're broke" state. At this rate I'm guessing January...

I don't understand why they keep spending all their money they get and save on stupid overpriced and mostly unnecessary shit. (Seriously, my mom decides to get a car that is SMALLER AND LESS EFFICIENT than her SUV? She always bitched about needing space and SHE GETS A SMALLER CAR? What the fuck...)

I think at this rate I'll have to save my money for my car instead of just using them as the bank. All well... Who needs a social life...

Maybe they think they are going to die soon and don't want to leave you anything...

Did they at least try out the toilet before buying it? There are key points in buying a new toilet, some of which require a real life test run. Things like amount of splashback during a bowel movement deposit, or during a flush, are very crucial. The meteral of the seat also plays a big role. Some have colder ambient temperatures then others given a set room temperature. Nothing worse then sitting on a very cold toilet seat.

if all you really want in life is for everyone to pay for your shit, and the govt to give you shit...

go find yourself a dirty rich white guy...
spread your legs a few times...
pop out 7 or 8 kids...
then sit home and collect a lifetime of welfare and tax refunds without ever working a day.
(dont really do this, moron)

otherwise i suggest you get off your ass and do something.
move out and get a fucking job and pay your way through school, join the army and serve your country then let them pay for school, or figure out how to get some brains and earn a scholorship.

take some fucking responsibility for your own fucking life instead of waiting for everyone else to. the fucking sense of entitlement around here is fucking disgusting.

Omfg facepalm.

My parents bought this expensive entertainment center that is pretty shitty in some aspects(And fucking huge)... They already have to clean their new plasma TV(Only 720p btw)(And it's because they let the dogs SLOBBER ALL OVER IT), AND.. guess what I find out now? My Dad wants to buy a blu-ray DVD player. WTF?! 720P. BLU-RAY... 720P... WHAT? >_< God damn this shit. My parents don't even watch fucking movies.

No one watches movies together in this house and why? Because no one wants to be with the other for extended periods. FACT!

No one uses logic or rational thought here besides me. No one is ever calm, EVER. I'm serious, they flip the fuck out over everything. I try to tell them that they should be careful and what do they do? Break off a leg moving the thing into the house. What do they do now? Get this hard/sticky shit all over the TV. What's next? Oh, probably them putting a nice scratch on the TV.

Yep... Logic, rational thought, calmness... All lacking with them. It's constantly yelling, screaming, getting angry, and all that shit. My father has extreme roadrage too.. effin' facepalm.

Le sigh... :facepalm:

They got a 720P 50" Plasma... Panasonic Veira or something.. Ugh. I mean really, it's 2009 and they got 720P on a 50"? they're old, so they probably won't be able to tell the difference anyway... and they won't be using it as a computer screen, so whatever...

My mother and my brother both have 50" panasonic Vieras, both 720p. They're pretty good TVs, I don't even notice much of a difference between 720p and my 1080p except on a pretty impressive bluray. They're much better than any similarly sized LCD for the same price.

Alright, got it all setup... We're not sure of what we're getting for a blu-ray player yet. I thought the PS3 was the best blu-ray player out there besides it being a gaming system? Maybe I should go do some more research. My Dad said he found one for $149 and he wants that, but I am betting that thing is a real POS. >.> Oh and this looked way fucking worse before I cleaned the place... My parents left to go eat some food somewhere so I decided to clean up a little in the living room. No way in hell am I tackling the kitchen hell mess.

That's almost as pimping as this place.

New sheets really don't cost much, but I think it's working great for you as a deterent against women.
