Why do some people have to be so ignorant?

[RSI]

Just earlier, I get sh!t from my dad cause my sister has to do homework. I'm just watching a movie, and he comes in all pissed off, yelling at me. Nevermind knocking on the door, nevermind saying excuse me or (gasp) hi, just start yelling at someone. That's a GREAT way to get their cooperation. Everyone knows that. Just scream at someone, that will get you what you want! :|

Anyway, so my sister has to do homework. OK then?? WTF? So she needs her COMP to do homework. Ahhhhh, wow. So he demands i surrender my comp for her to do her homework, immediately.. of course what i'm doing doesn't matter. So just to avoid being screamed at any more, and because I don't feel like screaming back, I just say fine, alt-f4 my whole comp to emptiness, and get up. He walks away, still muttering stupid sh!t. Proceeds to leave (good). So I go and find out what my sister had to do her homework for, to see what I just got spontaneously yelled at. Ohh, she has pictures in webshots. She's not hooked up to the network yet (don't have cables that reach to her room - yet) and she wants to print these pictures. Of course, the pictures are on HER computer, and she can't figure out how to put them on a disk, and she doesn't want to just hook up the printer to her comp cause "webshots doesn't let you print the pictures". Ugh.

First of all, she doesn't need MY computer, the stuff is on hers. So on top of coming in my room and blatantly yelling at me like an idiot, it was pointless. What I could do is hook up the printer to her comp and find out where her pics are located, and print them. Or I could find out where they're located and put them on a disk for her to print at school.

None of that required me interrupting what I was doing, getting yelled at, etc. I shouldn't have even had to be spoken to about that. Fscking ridiculous. :|

sigh... rant ended..

Someday you will have your own children and we will get to hear all about their ignorance despite your perfect parenting . . .

looking forward to your future rants . . . . . . .



not . . .

Would it do any good to explain the situation to your father and how you resolved it?

I know if I had gone off half cocked and yelled at my son and then later found out what the real story was I'd feel like a real sh!t heel.

fight the powuh'!

It's fun. all I have to say at this time.

That's the problem, no it does not help. He's so fscking stressed from his job and from working all the time, his brain must be pretty much nonexistent now. Nonetheless, it's a god damn pissoff, because I don't deserve the way I get treated in this house. I treat others respectively, I do not raise my voice or just start yelling at others, etc. My dad has had crap between my bro and him, but it's not like that with me, I don't treat my parents like sh!t, cause it's not right. I've tried "explaining" or "discussing" crap with both my parents, neither works very well, cause like anybody else they're only interested in what they want, which won't resolve situations at all.

Someday you will have your own children and we will get to hear all about their ignorance despite your perfect parenting . . .

Very funny apop. At this point I don't plan on having kids although my view may change later. I won't claim to have perfect parenting, but I certainly will make a point not to do the same things my parents have done. And no, I won't be on ATOT ranting about my kids, I'll be far too busy for that. See, if I decide to have kids (which I probably won't), I would want to spend time with them. *gasp*. . that's unheard of, isn't it?

I'm not ranting saying my parents are terrible or anything, it's just when people go off on me like that for no reason it really gets on my nerves. I'm 18 years old, I'm respectful to others and I know how to drink responsibly (this is important IMO), I don't have loud parties at night when everyone's trying to sleep, etc... My parents have always been very lenient with everything, but I view that as a drawback, because due to that, there's a lack of discipline in the family which is pretty bad. In any case, I don't ever appreciate being yelled at like that when I didn't do anything at all. It would have been much more appropriate to simply ask me to assist my sister with her difficulties printing her pictures, if he even knew what she was trying to do at all.

Oh, I thought you were asking "WHY" some people have to be so ignorant . . . I was just giving you an example.

And you seem to have the situation well in hand . . . you do your time as a "kid", move out and establish rules that are "reasonable" to yourself in your own household. Best of all, you are learning from your dad's mistakes.

Take it easy. In modern times, people are pressed from everywhere. You may not even know how many problems people might have. And if your father 'yelled' at you, maybe he was thinking about smth very important at the time and just wanted to solve yet another problem quickly.

that's what they all say...and usually, they are wrong...I hope you can break the cycle...many have said the same thing, and failed

I know, which is why I said I wouldn't want kids. If I was sure of myself and knew how I could control the way I handle situations, so that I give my child a proper upbringing, I'd feel more confident and I wouldn't be as hesitant about bringing a child into the world. But there's no way I want to do that and fsck up some poor kid's life, or have a kid and have him feel the way I feel now. No way.

I was hoping to move out this summer actually, but I just lost a job and I'm not sure what my financial position will be as of the end of the summer. So basically my choices are get my act together and get a job and move out, or just work a little to none and go back to school this semester and repeat the courses I may have failed, and give it an honest shot (I seem to have difficulty doing this, which is why I was going to work for 1-2 years, whatever amount it takes to save up for University and go there instead of college).

I have heard many of my friends say similar stuff. And I've learned it's an indication that they would for sure have kids. I, however, still have no kids, maybe it's b/c I never sweared I wouldn't have them.

Well I don't have extremely strong feelings on either side about it, I'm just saying *if* I did, I'd want to be sure, but I don't really want to have them, that's just my opinion at this point. That's all I'm sayin...

This has all the hallmarks of a Skoorb Effect post. If I put together the bold words in the rant, perhaps they will give some meaning:

hi fine Ohh yet hers could

Interesting.

lol ... how do you get that? strange. Maybe you're in a lower res than me...

 

[kgraeme]

Running the extracted bold words though an anagram decription program, I come up with this:

HENCEFORTH DISH OILY HUE

That's quite disturbing. Ahh, here's another possibility:

ELECTRIFY DON HIS HOE HUH

Um. You were talking about your sister right? Perhaps you have something you want to tell the crowd...

 

[kgraeme]

Aha! Here's the secret decoded message:

Oh! he, heinously deft rich.

My point with all this is that you're spoiled. And your sister is spoiled. I did my homework on this. And it was the only one in the house.

Ummm yeah I'm so spoiled, because my sister and I both have computers. Right. Because you did your homework on that, means I'm spoiled? stfu! My sister's computer was bought for $100, 2 years ago, the complete system with 14" monitor and keyboard/mouse. You call that spoiled? My computer consists of components I bought one by one by saving up each time.

I don't think it's actually possible for us to be spoiled... my parents don't make that much money. I'm pretty sure everyone else in the neighbourhood is better off than us.

If I was so spoiled would I be job hunting? I don't think so.
