Ten Things I Dislike About You

Need...to...vent...

1. When you're the only person at home, there is no need to have all the lights in five different rooms on while on the computer and the TV turned on at the same time. More so when you're a homestay student living in someone else's house.
2. If you're going to ask me for a lift, at least ask before I drink my ritual pre-going-out-and-then-out-the-door glass of water. And don't give me a "What a tighta*se" face when on top of that I'm running late for Uni and your uni is out of the way for me.
3. Please don't put all your weird books and printouts from Yahoo! searches on the toilet sistern. I know you take ages in the loo and need something to entertain yourself but I don't appreciate Taoist indoctrination when I take a crap.
4. On the subject of toilet etiquette, I'm a guy and there are some things I never want to know. Leaving "woman stains" on the toilet seat and having an open bin with used pads exposed, well that s**t ain't right. In Australia or any other country. Furthermore, there is a ludicrous amount of hair in there. The only thing allowed to lose that much hair is a Wookie.
5. Australia is not out to get you just because you're from overseas. The education system is fine, I totally disagree with your stance that your Media lecturer is neglecting his duties by not helping you with the grammar and spelling of your thesis. He's a MEDIA lecturer, not an English teacher.
6. Complaining to my parents that I was on the computer all night so you couldn't use it doesn't make any sense. And it's dodgy. Firstly, it's my computer. Secondly, you have your own laptop. Thirdly, if you really needed to use it, just ask me!
7. This one is a bit more petty but your requests are getting sillier and sillier and I'm just averse to helping you now. You've lived in Australia for almost two years already, making a phone call to Immigration to ask about documents can surely not be out of your grasp...? I don't see why the heck not, you asked me to make the damn phone call.
8. It's okay if you ask me to use my mobile phone because I have "Yes Time" on Optus. However, an issue arises when you proceed to ask me every night I'm home for the next two weeks. I know when I'm being asked a favour and when I'm being used.
9. Carrying on the victim mentality annoys me. Especially when you bitch to me about my parents getting on your case for being forgetful and leaving the key in the front door, forgetting to lock the back door/turn off the central heating when you're the last person to leave the house and having the TV on really loud when you're watching at 3am in the morning when others have to work early in the morning amongst other things.
10. When I walk into the bathroom after one of your showers, I don't expect to swim in. The shower is meant to be taken in the shower chamber, not on the bathroom floor. How you get that amount of water outside still confounds me. Even so, at least mop it up afterwards.

Some of you may have met her already, though some of you only know her by alias, "Stalker #1" (long story, ask Anna or myself in person next time). I think the term that people at Church use is "grace-grower." At this rate I'm seriously gonna have enough grace for the whole congregation. Arrgghhhh!
