NO fucking DOOR

[amietron]

I don't have a fucking bedroom door anymore. WTF? My parents don't like it when I lock my door so they take it off and leave me doorless? I understand warning, warning again, and maybe taking off the door knob or something. Isn't taking off the whole stinking door a little extreme? I'm 17-fucking-years-old. I deserve some privacy, don't I? When I don't have my door locked, I don't feel comfortable/safe. This pisses me off so much. I mean WTF? My brother's goddamn cologne is wrecking havoc on the air that I'm breathing. My room used to be my haven, where I had clean, unpolluted air. Now it doesn't even have a fucking door. Ugh.

I attempted to get back at my parents, by taking down their door, and tried to make it mine, but it didn't fit. The hinges didn't match. (Yeah, I know I could have unhinged it, then attached it again.. but THAT would have scored me too many points in the "kill Amy" category.) My parents hid my door in their stinkin' closet. Should I steal it back and re-attach it? Or just wait it out for a few days? I seriously cannot stand this.

I woke up at 5:24, as my dad was leaving the house for work. I can't fall back asleep anymore. I've tried. This is complete fucking BS. I'm pissed, and I have a fucking headache, thanks to my goddamned brother. Fuck him. Fuck my parents. FUck them all. :angry:

[deez nuts]

Teenage angst <shiver>.

Wait a few days plead your case and I'm sure they'll reinstall the door

[artsfartsyjanet]

omg.... :lol: Actually, it's really not funny when you can't have your own privacy. My parents used to do that when I started my teenage years, but they don't care anymore.

[SunWuKong]

i guess one of the advantages of being a socially inept geeky teenager was that i had my bedroom door intact. in fact my room was all the way in the basement. they probaby thought the most damage that i could do was stay up really late reading comic books. :lol: but in fact i was a little klepto and i had klepto friends... :P actually my friends and i did alot of stupid stuff that were probably illegal. but nothing too damaging. we'd always laugh at getting caught and then having our names in the newspaper or something with an ironic title like "top highschool students caught stealing", or some shit like that.

The first couple times you flash 'em (and your brother's friends) should convince them to give you back your door.

Or get a beaded curtain. Or not.

[CrX3183]

steal the door back and just take of the knob or what would be really cool is if you had like those swinging doors in restaurants, but if not just hang a sheet...

[CrX3183]

oh did you try your brother's door?

[Saiko]

I'd say steal their door, take it outside, bust it and burn it, but you'd probably get into a lot of shit for that, huh? I dunno. My parents didn't like me locking the door all the time either, so they replaced my doorknob with one that doesn't have a lock on it. So now I lock my door with my chair. It works pretty effectively. Haha. The flashing thing could actually work, but I'm not sure if you'd go through with it. You could always argue with them about your privacy and stuff.

haha the exact same thing happened to me.

[wylin]

if i were her parents i'd install nanny cams and also laser trip beam windows that sound alarms and the lovely lock from outside room doorknob.

[kimpossible]

My vote goes towards buoywonder's method. Be such a pain in the ass with your door open that THEY want it back on.

[angel nympho]

Play your music loud when you they have company, lounge around in your underwear, and invite your friends over and start getting rowdy. :) Just be a pain in the ass until you get your door back.

predicate free love with ur room wide open lotsa fun for the family!

Kinda wonder if this was the reason why amie got her door taken down in the first place?

j/k amie

[Arex]

I say you brick and mortar the doorway shut and go in and out through your bedroom window. I've always wanted to lay a brick wall.

[karizma]

>> thats pretty jacked man...haha you stole ur parents door? thats damn funny...id do that too =)...id probably walk around naked in my room until they gave it back...or you can just hang a curtain or something? but i dont see why parents would object to you locking your door..its not like youve got strange porn noises coming from your room...at least i hope not 0_o

>> sucks that your privacy has been taken away from you though =/ there should be a law against that shit dammit...if you ever need to get away for a while you know im just a call away =)...love you Doing

I live on the second story, and I haven't got an emergency roll-away ladder in my room.

[amietron]

The "be a pain in the ass" solution is out. I need my parents to fork up $17k within the next couple of days. I can't jeopardize my chances of getting the dough, just for my door. My education is far more important than the stinkin' door. My life is on the line! If they wanna watch what I do in my room, so be it. What've I got to hide?

Wylin, why should they waste their money on all that? I wouldn't mind too much if they locked me into my room. As long as I've got a writing utensil and a pad of paper, I'm good to go. Or better yet, a book. The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal are among my favorites. Even a dictionary would be okay. I like words. If I got to keep my laptop in my room, all hell could break loose outside my room, but I'd still be okay as long as I got to drink bottled water and use my bathroom. :)

This response comes after a long chat with one of my teachers. If I want out, I've gotta play their game; make do with what I've got, and kiss ass to get the bread and butter handed to me. As pitiful and ego-killing as it sounds, I guess this is what I need to do in order to get through.

[wylin]

they should make female chasity protection procedures into full effect thats why! =X

[amietron]

Starting today, I've decided to do everything with the door open. Eyes wide shut. That's riight, even showering.

Check this: They're gonna make Red Dragon, the prequel to Hannibal and The Silence of the Lambs into a movie.

Yah I read all three, before Silence of the Lambs came out.

[amietron]

Silence of the Lambs came out in 1993(?) or something, didn't it? Which one was your favorite?

[deez nuts]

The second book "Silence of the Lambs"

Red Dragon probably set the tone, but I didn't appreciate Lechter as a character till the second book.

Hannibal was kinda far fetched I thought.

That one's my favorite too. After reading it I fell in love with him. He intrigues me. He's educated, witty, and he likes the finer things in life.

Hmm. I'm pulling a Star Wars move. Going backwards.

so how's that open door policy going?

[amietron]

My mom works at home, dad works in Pleasanton, and my brother has school (I haven't started yet). When I shower (lately, around 8) there's never been anyone around. Other than that.. I don't have much to hide.

Yesterday, though.. my mom went through a pile of papers (newspapers, binder paper with writing on it, etc) and she found a letter from one of my friends in Seattle. (Friend was visiting from Thailand. Met her at boarding school also.) Yeah, so.. my mother read it, father read it, and now there's this big controversy over whether I am a virgin or not. They were like "if you want us to believe you, come to the doctor's office with us, and get tested." "OK." You swear.. <grumbles> See? No privacy whatsoever. Narf.

They did that? Way messed up. They taking you to a doctor to examine you if you are a virgin? Oy hate to be the MD that has to deal with your parents.

Mom and dad: we're here for my daughter's physical, And can you tell me if she is a virgin or not?

Doctor: What?

Geez, just tell him you "broke it" riding your bicycle when you were young, sheesh. If, the doc asks



<!--EDIT|Chasiubao_Boy|Sep 7 2002, 08:50 AM-->

[kimpossible]

Amie, you have way more control than I did at your age. I would have been busy figuring out which hand I would select to present my middle finger with.

Don't have any advice, just a compliment for you. That is some serious shit to deal with.

[amietron]

:ph34r: We'll see what happens. Not like the doc can diagnose that anyway.

[ren28]

That is seriously jacked up. How can parents do that to someone and expect to have a good relationship with their daughter? They have serious issues with trust and I think perhaps you need to sit down with them and tell them what's up.

[mrazntre]

i say you move your bed right in front of the doorway so you have to climb over your bed to get inside your room.

[Arex]

I think mrazntre's onto something. Since you've no longer got any privacy in your bedroom, just make the living room into your bedroom. Move the couch to your room, move your bed in front of the family TV, start tossing dirty laundry in the corner of the room (make sure you get some undies caught up on the lamps), blast your infernal hip-hop and trance music, etc. Make it so uncomfortable for your parents to be out in the living room that they hole themselves into their own damn room!

Alex

[amietron]

when i saw my door was gone, my initial inclination= get door back + blast prodigy's "fat of the land" CD. my dad hates that CD so much. :D

i can't move my bed by myself. it's too big. can't move into the living room or family room, either. my mom does business at home. omg, alex. you're a genius! the guest room! i should move into the guest room! or at least just sleep there, or something.

[deez nuts]

Fight the power, amie!

[amietron]

doc, you're not supposed to tell me things like that. i'd be pulling too many "johnny, you shouldn't be so..,"s. viva la revolucion. hah.

i get the whole house to myself this weekend! :D

[mrazntre]

you should blast Tupac, All eyes on me. and other assorted rap artists. Parents hate rap. Doesn't matter what kind of parent.
