Most people don't let stuff like that get to them. So the TV was on. Turn it off.

But what is even funnier is the fact that I went upstairs, knew that she left it on, came back down and didn't say a word, then SHE made the comment about ME being a control freak...:roll: Me/parents teaching her anything, I've pretty much given up on that but the bathroom thing, for fscking christ sakes, turn on the GODDAMNED FAN! It reaks for hours after words..

So turn on the fan???

She brought it up about the TV because you were obviously showing stress signs by your body language and she knew exactly why and called you out.

I didn't... We're both visiting...

So you're telling her how to behave in someone else's home? You may be right, but why should she obey your orders? It's not your house, it's not your place to dictate policy, and you're just creating more resentment between the two of you.

Why don't you try some honey instead of vinegar? You might be surprised.

I guess it's wrong of me to care about having to replace the plasma tv AGIAN and it's perfectly fine for me to have to walk into the bathroom that is filled with her stink. I'm tired of posters like you who are into the "take it in the a$$ like a good boy" mentality where I should just "deal with it", except the fact it pisses off my parents as well..



Ha..I am not the one whining about every little everyday problem that pops up on an internet chat board. Grow the F* up... If this is the worst thing that gets your panties bunched up then consider yourself lucky.

Right, I'm going to turn on the fan, wait 20 minutes for it to stop smelling, all the while I really need to take a crap my self but because I'm buddha, I can tell my bowels to stop contracting and wait until the smell dissipates then they can release the stools..:roll:

I am, therefore I'm b!tching. If I had bigger problems, then I'd be b!tching about those instead..

Hey sis, if you turn the bathroom fan on next time you shlt, I'll... uh... do the same? 😕

Because she has admitted she has a horrible memory.

If she hasn't expressed any desire to improve it, you are indeed a control freak. Let it go.

No, because it effects ME personally. We've already had to replace one plasma tv that had burn in, humm, I wonder who it was from!

Who cares.

Most people wouldn't. That's your first clue! 😛

You aren't going to change her, no matter what you do. You can replace a plasma TV with a new one for her to ruin, if you want - how dumb is that? 😕

heh heh, of course you wouldn't care because your diet primary consists of cheap .30 ramen, how could you even imagine owning a $15K tv!?

It's not yours, either. This affects you how, exactly?

Why should the whole family be out of a tv because she broke it? Like last time?

Look, she may be the most annoying sister ever - I don't doubt it a bit. Did you ever think she might find you every bit as annoying - nagging her all the time? If she can't do anything right, why should she try?

It hasn't worked yet - try something else, or keep banging your head against the wall. Your choice. Just don't expect sympathy for the headache - you picked it.

 
Let her break the TV and see what dad says.
Hopefully he will realize an expensive plasma has burn in and will need to be "replaced."
After that start telling him it was ur sister's fault. (Just kidding! 😀)
Actually he might be somewhat angry, but not extremely angry.
