I wouldn't be able to stand living with roommates for very long.
I don't respond well to threats or guilt trips.
I'm too independent for my own good.
So, with my uncle threatening to shut off the wireless if I don't move my stuff off my Vaio to the wireless hard drive so my aunt can have the Vaio, my response is as it always is when threatened. Do it.
Telling my aunt to cut off the wireless, charge me rent, kick me out of my room, etc, etc, etc...is not going to work. It's going to ruffle my feathers and cause me to get on the offensive. You want it? Ask me nicely, give me a good reason why you need it on a certain date and why my Facebook-ing and leisure time needs to be disrupted for it, and I'll do it.
Yes, I should just do it because it's my aunt and I probably would have done it this weekend. But now I'm pissed and I'm a stubborn bitch. I'll probably do it and not give her the laptop for a while just to be spiteful.
For the cousin who may or not be reading this will be thinking "you owe them blah blah blah blah". I feel what I feel and I get angry when I get angry. It's ingrained in my personality, not gonna change. This is why I never got along with my mother. Her way of getting me to do things was to take things away and threaten and guilt trip. I, in turn, flip up my virtual middle finger and think of vengeful and spiteful ways to get back at you without getting caught.
