I am currently buying a house and don’t want to renew my apartment lease. So to make life simple I have decided to move back into my parents’ house for a few months. Although they have plenty of room and a cable connection for Internet access, I am discovering how dumb this idea really was. Never, ever, ever go back! The complaint Du Jour is the fact that my mother invited her dying cousin to stay in the house (and bring her family) for a few weeks. This is all well and good, but she brought her two kids that were kicked out of school and obviously a menace to society. They have the standard mohawks, piercings and tattoos of “teens just being rebellious” and their parents claim they are “just misunderstood” but I disagree. I think they are both pieces of trash that I don’t want near my shit (currently already in boxes for easy looting). I know I’m being judgmental without really knowing these kids, but in my opinion if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it’s a duck. If you look like a hoodlum then Yes Damnit I Don’t Trust You and I don’t want you having access to my stuff when I’m not around. I just about died when my mother showed them the room I have setup as my office and said, “Look at all the computer equipment”. I quickly scanned the room and made a mental inventory of things lying around that would be very tempting to pocket as these two were heading out. And what happens if and when something turns up missing? Do I lay into dying relatives about how fucked up their offspring are? Would it be rude for me to show up tonight with a lock to put on the office door?I only know one thing for certain, the same thing I knew when I was 18 ….I gotta get out of there! Even if it means paying 25% more rent for month to month until the house is done.

Please god tell me you have Renter's Insurance. You do? OK, just inventory. You don't? Get some yesterday.I remember when my wife and I moved in with my parents -- she had just gotten a job that was 4 hours away from our apartment, so we were frantically searching for apartments closer (perversely, my job wasn't any farther away). So, we moved into my parents' house for what turned out to be the three LONGEST weeks of our lives.
Luckily, we didn't have anyone else to contend with. I personally think that a lock is justified, regardless of who is staying -- after all, you really don't know these people, and a lock is just being prudent. Apartments have 'em, your parents are making out like apartment owners, therefore you should make out as a renter and get one. Or two. Or five.

Just get a lock, and tell it's just because you want to keep out burglars.Look at it as an extra measure against burglary.

tempt the little fuckers. Make them *WANT* to take something. And make it something that they couldn't get rid of or hide that easily, or something they'd flaunt. Make it so you don't have to tell the parents anything, they just finally figure it out.Or... take them aside one night. Take them out to a club or something. Take them to a gun show or something, something where you can get a little violent but not towards them. Show them you're cool. Then, right before you let them go to their rooms, say "look you little ingrate sons of fucking bitches. You fuck with my shit, you lose your head. Remember that bigass AK47 that one dude had at the gun show? Yeah, remember that big black bag in my closet? Take a guess what's in there, dickhead. Now, go get your fucking hair cut right tomorrow. Don't fuck with my shit, either". It'll fuck 'em up. They won't fuck with you. I gar-un-tee!

Telling rebellous little brats not to do something is an invitation. What you need to do is set up the webcam and keep every picture from it. Also, do the inventory before hand. When something shows up missing, you have the pictures of the person entering the room, staying for 3-4 minutes while looking occasionally at the door, and then leaving around the time when something isn't there anymore. They wouldn't be dumb enough to take something like your monitor or case, but stealing the webcam would be the funniest thing i'd ever seen. Proof positive, and you can sleep better at night, work better during the day. Hell, set it up so you can watch from work for extra entertainment. It'd be well worth the $100.

they cant pickpocket if you chop their mullets off its like samsons hair without it they lose they're power and become regular members of society...failing that just make sure you carry a big fuck off shiny knife round and mumble incoherently when you see them. they will steer cleer of your room or you can cut theier fingers off.

a.h. - that's why you take them to a gun show first. Show them you're pretty fucked up in the head. It's like in the adams family, when wedensday dressed up like a serial killer... "They look like normal people"Anyways... what kind of "rebellous" kids are these? Mohawks went out years ago. Are you talking about the general spikey hair stuff, or the normal mohawk with the hair down the middle sticking up straight?

I'm talking bald head with a green stripe down the middle. A real live honest to goodness freaking mohawk. I'll post a pic ..you guys can give me your opinions.

well, no real "punks" have that hair cut anymore. they sound like fakes ot me. Trust me, if they're as fake as they seem, you could kick their ass. Do it, too. Just lay the smack down on 'em. And right before you give them that last pimpslap, say "stay the fuck away from my shit". It seems really rude and mean, but it works wonders.

Webcam is up and recording. There is a link off my homepage if anybody wants to play Cops on a Stakeout with me.
As for the guns, knives, and ass kickings ...it sounds tempting but I can't go to prison ...I'm fragile.

Another suggestion would be that you could create a couple of scare-wileys out of some straw and your old clothes and place them strategically throughout the house..

That sounds like a plan to me. The only trouble is finding a place that sells straw around here.
And here is a pic, do you think I have a legit worry here?

JESUS H. CHRIST!!!!!!!Those are punks? I've seen tougher looking sons of bitches at a goth club, and that is just plain sad. (no, im not goth.)
Shit, I was tougher looking than that at that age, and highschool bullies used to pick on me. Seriously.... Back in the day i looked like a cross between whats-his-name from taxi driver, and Pvt. Pyle from full metal jacket, all wraped up in bleached denim, cheap hair dye, and chains. These guys are pussies. They'd probably steal your wallet to go buy the lates CD by The Rasberries. Or The Cure maybe. Probably a couple of homo-erotic Dave Mathiew's Band fans.
Where do you live? Green Acres? Where the fuck do you live that cremepuff looking motherfuckers like that intimidate anyone?
BTW- who's the chick on the left? (that is a chick right? just wanna make sure.......) She's kinda hot.

A) I'm not physically afraid of them, I'm just worried about them going through my stuff (some of which happens to be stored in the same room they are staying in) when I'm not around.
B) That's my biatch
Posted by Spydir on Jan. 08 2002,21:29
yeah, they look like total pussies. I'm telling you, just freak them out and make them scared of you. I enspecially recommend this now that I see how pussy they look.and your "biatch" looks like a girl at my school...
