Always the bad guy...

Yes, this is a rant so don't read it if you don't want to hear about me complaining...

For some reason, I'm always the damn bad guy in the house. Always...

My car started acting up today with a stupid Lower Tire pressure warning. I figured out the problem, fixed it, but the error code remained there because I needed to reset the flat tire monitor. There was a problem though. I couldn't figure it out. Turns out BMW made a manual for every god damn car with iDrive, but not for one without iDrive. Way to go BMW! Not even a google search could find the solution... I basically say "fuck it" and go on with my day. My friend, who's a mechanic and works on BMWs every day, was going to be passing by tomorrow and I would just ask him to reset the FTM for me.

Apparently, that's not good enough for my parents. Of course not... As soon as I told them, "I'm just going to wait until tomorrow" they started going fucking nuts. Why? I have no idea. I drive the car, they don't, but they still kept hounding me and telling me to go to the damn dealership to get it fixed. After about 1.5 hours of going back and forth, I grab my keys and walk out of the house w/o saying a word. I drive 30 damn minutes to the dealership and get the shit fixed so they would STFU. When I return, they go freaking nuts over me leaving the house w/o telling them. So god damn sad =/... Typical fucking Portuguese parents. Not one Portuguese person I know can leave the house w/o saying a word or they're going to get an earful when they get home. Why? Because that's how it was in the old days when they were growing up -_-. Jesus christ. If you want to know where I am, call my damn cell phone and I'll tell you.

I then decide to go to the mall today to just get away from home and everyone. I buy myself a watch and come home only to find everyone still awake and pissed off at me. I walk into the living room, say "Hi" to my mother, sister and father and they're just sitting and glaring at me like I just killed a fucking kitten. Apparently, my sister wanted to go with me to the mall, but NO ONE FUCKING TOLD ME. According to my dad, I peeled out of the driveway right before she went outside purposely so I could go alone. WTF IS THAT SHIT? I was never fucking told anyone wanted to come with me, so I left. What was I going to do? Wait in the driveway for 2 hours to see if anyone would show up and want to go to the mall? More importantly, WHY THE FUCK WOULDN'T YOU JUST CALL ME? I was obviously still fucking close by.

/end rant

Yea, living alone is pretty dope. This reminds me of every day living with my parents. My family got a lot closer and I got a lot happier once I moved out permanently.

I think it's just the ones w/ annoying families complain. Don't get me wrong. I love my family, but they just need to understand that people need their damn space and to not complain when something doesn't really concern them. I know at the end of the day it just boils down to the Portuguese culture and how they were brought up, but holy shit does it annoy me at times =/.

As for moving out, I can't wait. I know I won't move far, because I do like to see my family from time to time, but as soon as I can sustain myself, I'm doing it. Freaking NJ just has to be so damn expensive :O.

No. Nice try on that one. Everyone tries attacking me for that. One could say at first they did, but I've taken over payments for a while now.

You sound like a spoiled brat, sorry. Appreciate your parents being there and caring for where you are instead of being some drunk fucks who wouldn't support you even if the world were about to end.

Of course the parents want to make sure you don't drive a f..ing broken car and crash. Are you a certified mechanic? No? Then you can't be sure there isn't something still wrong with the car when you drove it with warning signs on.

Chill out, jeez.


Anyway hope everything works out for you. I know some parents who not only yell at their kids whenever they do anything, but if the kid says anything back, they either get punched or get kicked out of home for 2 weeks with no where to stay.

I'd hate to admit it but I felt the same.

BMW error codes are great for the dealership. You can usually only clear them with the code reader that is BMW dealership only. The tire monitor pressure light might be resettable without going back to the dealership. I know that all of the owner manuals are available online from the website. I had them all on my work computer when I worked for them.

I still like my BMW, until it breaks and I have to pay to fix it.

Like the other dude said, chill out. I'm sorry your parents or friend's parents might be drunk fucks or something. That's no reason to attack me for writing a small rant. Like I said in the first post, if you didn't want to hear me complaining, then you shouldn't have read it.

You don't need to be a certified mechanic to figure out what a low tire pressure symbol is saying either. I had already fixed the problem by getting the tire that got punctured by a nail of all things, fixed. I just didn't know how to get that warning symbol off my car. That's hardly a reason to think the car is "unsafe." >_>

You sound like a judgemental elitist. Appreciate people venting their frustrations, instead of killing their parents and then themselves.

Of course he doesn't want to be controlled when he's trying to live and be his own person. Are you a certified Therapist? No? Then you can't judge him for his life and family.

My parents where a pain in the ass when I lived with them, my mum has some kind of condition where she just hords stuff so the house was (and still is) a horrible mess and I felt ashamed to have friends over.

When I moved to uni suddenly there was no issue, my parents where nice on the phone and loved it when I came to stay or they came to my uni town. I love my parents but I couldn't live with them again for more than say a coupke of weeks.

Anyway it sounds like your ready to mvoe out, don't know how close that is to beeing an option for you but if you start telling your self it will be O.K soon, I'm gonna move out maybe just knowing this kind of problem is gonna go away will help you deal with it.

Yeah, some parents are retarded like that... there's not much you can do about it but suck it up somehow - until you move out.

There is a difference between being caring and being up your fucking ass for no apparent reason. Some parents have a certain personality disorder where they just can't let go of being in control of their kids lives. They seem to think that because they "brought you into this world" they have the right to control you. Sorry, no. It's their job to care for their child, but parents have no right to tell their children how to live their life.

My father gets mad at me for not going something that's not affecting him in any way, shape or form. He rants and raves about it, comes down into my room multiple times a day about it, tells me that I have to do it now, I keep refusing because it's a non-issue and that I'll do it later when I have to. He can't accept that and eventually he does it for me and then he complains that I can't even do it.

What was it? A flat tire on my bike. I don't need the bike, I can walk to the store, so there was no need to change the tire.
