"I have such a desire to knock heads together!" -John Adams, 1776

It's such a jump to go here from my previous post, but MAN!

It's not a hard concept. Just don't touch my things.

If it were something major I could understand, but it is the little things that drive me crazy.

You organized my mail. Why?! Why are you going through my letters, that I have stacked in an order already, putting them in a new order, and putting them in the corner?! Why was my notebook not OK on the table? Your backpack can sit there for weeks, but leave a notebook on a table for two days and suddenly it gets moved across the room!?

Why are you moving things that were already in specific places?! Why did you screw the lid on my mug? Why did you need to do that?! Wasn't it OK upsidedown? You can leave the freaking cupboards open for hours, and I can't keep a mug upsidedown with the lid on top? (It was drying on a towel, that's why it was upsidedown.)

Why are my remotes not OK on top of the DVD player?! Why do you need to put them upside down, sliding off the top of my TV?!? Why did you stack my freaking DVDs on top of my step?!? Why is my pilates ring on top of my DVDs?!

WHY ARE YOU MOVING MY THINGS AROUND?!@?!@"?2?234Q@#$?Q@1345,LO DF#$^#$ % DF?

I swear, even with being so dang passive agressive I may actually say something about it this time; i HATE coming home to finding my things moved to random places.

THEY WERE FINE!!! LEAVE THEM THERE!!!

It took me almost five minutes to find the correct placing of my rabbit-ear antenna, so Conan wasn't fuzzy. And I come home and find my antenna all neatly closed and put to the side of the TV. WHY?!?!??? It wasn't doing ANYONE any harm by being spread out--that's how it WORKS!

I understand you live here too. Yeah, got that. I don't touch your things, remember?! Please recall how you said that if your clothes were in the dryer and I needed it I could just throw your things on top...remember that conversation, huh? What was my reply? THAT I WOULD PREFER NOT TO. I would prefer that we dealt with our own things; I'm not going to mess with your things and I don't want you messing with mine. Remember that?! Remember what you did an hour later? Oh yeah...took my clothes out of the dryer and put them on top.

DON'T TOUCH MY THINGS. IT'S NOT A DIFFICULT THING TO CATCH ON TO!!!

Do I have to remind you of the explosion of ugly fabric that was my living room? And that hideous sewing machine in the middle of the room? And the horrible pillow you made? ALL OVER THE LIVING ROOM?
Yeah, I don't touch that. I don't try to "organize" it while you are gone to work...oh yeah, that's because you DON'T WORK during the summer.

Your lack of employment and surplus of free time should NOT equal my unhappiness.

I've seen your room; if you have a desire to "organize" something try starting there.

I'm really not a difficult person to live with. Not at all.
