Long story short I opened my sisters curtains when she was out at work in the mid-afternoon. I did it mainly because the cats she has like jumping on the windowsill and the darkness is depressing. Anyways she came back and started flipping out later at night saying she told me not to open the curtains, that I should never go in her room again, that she told me not to and I did it anyway, I was like totally freaked. She seemed totally nuts over me opening the curtains but that's what they're for, it was bizarre. Later she said I moved things around on her laptop and not to do that, I was like ok, she went nuts about that and started saying I always do that, that my way isn't always the right way. Before this they accussed me of locking them out (her and her bf) when I was inside because the door is just messed sometimes and gets jammed. I told them I didn't do it and they wouldn't believe me, I was like "how in the hell do they think I'm gonna lock the door on them when I barely have energy to wake up." She asked me to actually apologize for opening the curtains when she said not to, and I was thinking "apologize for that?" It's insane IMO and makes no sense, then later she came back and tried comparing my opening of the curtains to her taking my car keys and driving my car. I was completely confused, legally she can't do that it's against the law so how the hell is opening curtains the same thing? Her analogy made me question even living here and maybe I should just leave, anyways what do you think SciMembers? If someone tells you not to open curtains even when the dark makes you depressed and then goes off for 20 minutes about how she'd like an apology for you doing it, is that something you understand or is it madness?! She later came back and tried saying it was about personal space, and all I could think was "letting light inside is personal space?"
touchy...touchy. Maybe she's just possessive of her curtains. Of course, not knowing your sister, you probably know better...but that won't stop posters now will it.
Welcome back, Hoot! Hoot! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I guess you made your move?? How's the new digs? How's the owl at the power plant doing? As for the curtains...stay out of your sisters room! You wouldn't want her in your room would you? She was more pissed at you for even going into her room without her permission, due to violation of her own territory, than what you did while in there.

That's her house, she's the master of the house and you are a guest there. That means you listen to her regarding her house.
First of all this isn't a house, it's an apartment. She doesn't own the curtains they're just part of the monthly rent. Secondly are you trying to tell me that you'd leave all the curtains closed except for those in your room even in mid-afternoon when nobody was sleeping or even there? It's madness! Not only that but you'd actually get so upset as to try spending 20 minutes talking about it and asking for an apology?! This wasn't just in her room I opened the curtains in the main room too, it's just a room where light can gather and enter the apartment. She was like going crazy over it, I mean there are plenty of real problems in the world and life to make such a huge freakin deal about curtains to me is madness. I also forgot to mention she broke a dish today right, I said "I thought that might happen" then she totally flipped and went nuts, she was like "no you didn't think that would happen" and I was like "yes I did" and then she said "well you know what you always think everything bad is gonna happen that's why Sam." I was like totally in confusion she was crazy, how could she possibly be upset I thought the dishes were fragile! This is what I'm having to deal with, it's insane crazyiness just like my dad but worse because this isn't just about jobs it's about anything I say or do! (except jobs) Anyways it's really creeping me out and I think maybe I should just leave and not stay here, of course I haven't anywhere else to go but eh. PS In regards to this laptop and what I did to it all I did was add music and re-organize the start menu into something actually coherent, she hadn't even used it and was going nuts about how I changed it?! Completely weird stuff man. Also her AntiVirus was expired so I got her a freeware one offline, is she stupid? If I hadn't touched this thing she could've easily gotten a newer virus at some point, then lets see how she feels about me updating a few things.
If it is her apartment then you should adhere to her demands. Ask yourself, if you had your own place would you want to have someone doing shit to it you didn't like? If you wanted the curtains open would you like it if she were to close them if it was your own place. The best thing to do is just do what she asks, which isn't much after all is it?
It doesn't matter if it's a house or a flat, it's her, she pays for it. And you listen to her regarding her flat, especially her room. You have no business in her room, or disturbing the order of the house. It's madness how socially inept you are. I won't be surprised if you get thrown out in a few weeks if you don't stop messing with her stuff.
I agree with others: It is her house, her rules. However: You mentioned there are cats and they are indoors (and they are hers, right?) and they like sitting on the windows. This is something to take into consideration. Animals should not be forced to be in a dark apartment.
darksidZz your sister knows she has the power over you and she abuses it. You need to understand that if you want to be treated fairly, you must find a job and get your own place and stop being dependent on other people.
Exactly my point, and I'm gonna tell you all that whether it's her apartment or not there are still certain logical things ppl do and one of them is open curtains during the day. How the hell can you justify a 20 minute convo about it! It's alot when you consider the request obsurdity "don't open the blinds" but she did it so nasty and angrily as to make me wonder what the hell was wrong with her. Obviously she has some serious issues because I know if I opened any of your blinds there's no way in hell you'd go that nuts or even care.
Maybe she doesn't like the light. It's not for you to decide. Her apartment, her rules, live with it or move out.
I think anyone telling me opening curtains is somehow wrong and violates someones space is not just socially inept but also as crazy as a lune! What about that insane comparison she made to taking my car keys and car!

I don't think curtains exist to open them. The whole point of them is that you can close them Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! How are you doing at your new address ? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
