    Do you get mad when people touch/use your stuff without asking? I do, especially when it comes to my xbox. My cousin always uses it, and it is more than annoying to come home, and find him on it. Especially considering he doesn't even live at my house. So much to the point where I've put parental lock on all games above the E10 rating.

    There are things that I won't get mad about... but things that I will.
     
    I will get mad if anybody is touching/using my stuff regardless if they don't ask permission. Because recently I had to start locking my phone every night before bed because someone, I know who, keeps sneaking on my phone at night to do things I won't mention here.
     
    I hate it. I simply hate it. I don't care if someone asks to use whatever the item is, but when they dont; or even don't ask and use it repetitively without asking, I get miffed badly. With the only exception of my 2 Year Old Niece.
     
    Yes. My sister does it all the time. She's played my N64, used my laptop, taken my clothes for whatever reason, and just...ugh. Like...go away. Get your own stuff.
     
    It depends. I cant trust very young people handling my personal stuff. :(
     
    Oh dear, I do get angry when people do that.
    I could list a lot of examples, like when people come and take your USB Flash Disk, take your iPod, take whatever using the excuse : "You are not using it at the moment".
    But the worst is when they do ask, but it happens like this :

    Person : *comes and take item and starts using it*
    You : *looks*
    Person : *using item* Can I use it ?

    Well, yes, yes you can...-w-
     
    I don't mind if they're using things that can be shared anyway. For example if my boyfriend jumps on my computer without asking when he comes over it doesn't bother me. If he or my little brother opens up my DS and starts playing around I don't mind as long as they don't overwrite my save (which they don't). If, while I'm out, my grandma uses some of my paper and my pens/pencils to give my other little brother something to draw on when he's over, it's no big deal to me.

    Actually there's not many things of mine that I mind anyone using of they're careful with it and don't overwrite any of my games. I can't think of anything off the top of my head except maybe the toothbrush.
     
    My brother constantly takes my guitar picks. I had about twenty in my guitar case which I'd just bought and within a fortnight I only had two left (three I found scattered over his room and another two in his guitar case - I always put my picks back where I got them from so him or my sister must have lost them all). That and using my guitar pedal without asking (for those who don't know, an effects pedal is basically a pedal that you can press your foot on while playing that changes the sound of the guitar, because you can't go over and change the settings of the amplifier while you're playing something). Very irritating, because it runs on a 9V battery, which means it gets less effective as it's being used, and he always uses up the battery and never buys a new one.
     
    I only get mad if that "stuff" happens to be any of my electronic devices.
     
    I don't really have that problem now, but when I was younger it bothered me a little. I always made sure to put the things I really didn't want anyone using/stealing/breaking in out of the way places or inside others things like my bag or a clothes drawer since I found that people are less prone to messing with your stuff if it's not sitting out and tempting them. If someone did then I could get all righteous at them for digging through my personal things.
     
    Thing with me is, everyone does ask. I'm not sure why; I think it's the way that I don't make myself seem like a very forgiving individual. I don't really have much that other people are interested in anyway.
     
    I won't mind it so much if they ask and take care of my stuff. When they don't ask, it makes me a little mad :|
     
    It annoys me beyond belief. I have the common courtesy to ask before using someone else's things; why can't I get the same in return when it comes to my family?

    Sigh... this is why I can't have nice things...
     
    Normally I'm not too bothered about people touching my things, but I would rather they didn't. Not exactly sure why, but it just bothers me. XD; It's one of those pet peeves of mine, I guess, I won't blow up over it, but it eats at me to see people touching stuff of mine.
     
    i had experince, not only a few days ago but quite a few times

    a few days ago: a little kid in my room, im related 2 him yes but he got in2 EVERYTHING, i never told him he culd come in but he did anyway, now some of my ds games r missing

    whn i have a bud over: whn im not in my room he gets on the comp whn he dznt even ask, whn im in the room and on the comp he boots me off and uses it (hes around 15 mind u) and he is very impatient

    whn my mom gets close 2 my room, im paranoid of my stuff
     
    Depends. I've never minded if I was in class and somebody next to me used my rubber or something, but being in a small school i was friends with most of them. I'd be annoyed if someone used something valuable, like my ipod or laptop with out my permission. I hate when my mother uses my laptop, but I don't say anything because she only uses it when hers has crashed or something, and she owns a business on the internet and needs a computer. And she was the one who payed for it. But besides that I've never really had anyone use something with out mu permission
