    How do you feel when relatives misplace your stuff without your knowledge?

    I had to look through the entire ****ing apartment with my hair still wet (It was cold, too.) in order to find my hairdryer, just because someone decided that it should be placed elsewhere, for no legit reason. >_>
     
    No one touches my stuff
    It's my stuff, not theirs!

    I clean my own room and whatnot. Whenever someone else does it, I have no idea where anything is x_x
     
    omg... I'm very territorial when it comes to my stuff. If people look at my plushies, or even my phone... I always get upset and ask them to give it back after like five seconds. It's not just relatives (all my relatives live in Maine, and I live in Arizona). I've gotten a little better at it, but sometimes my mom will come in and look at something of mine. I'm also EXTREMELY territorial of my room. I don't like it when my mom goes in there because she moves stuff and makes things harder for me to find. D:

    Unfortunately, I... don't do very good with cleaning. I know that sounds rather stupid and everything though. It's just... I lack the skills to clean my room. So, my parents have to do it for me. That's the only time I'll allow them in my bedroom.
     
    My brother pretty much takes everything of mine if I don't have it on me. If it's left unattended in my room, then it's at risk of getting taken. Obviously I don't like that. There's nothing going on in my life that makes me as hostile as when my brother takes my belongings. He wears my clothes, he hordes them where he keeps his and doesn't bother asking me or even letting me know that he's wearing x, y and z. A few weeks ago, he took my iPad for some reason to his friend's house. I have no idea what he was trying to do with it, because it's locked with a pretty complicated passcode.
     
    Thank goodness my family is really good when it comes to things like that. The house is generally very well organised and we always ask or leave notes when borrowing things. I'm bad enough when it comes to misplacing my own things, so I think I'd have an aneurism if someone else started doing it for me.
     
    My mother constantly digs in my stuff, "borrow"s money and throws **** out without asking me first. She thinks that because she's my mother this is her "right".
    So I have to hide my money or keep it on me all the time.
     
    My mom is weirdly paranoid about leaving valuables at home in case of a burglary. This usually just means she'll hide her own jewelry and stuff around the house (like, in the fireplace), but a few days ago I found that she had taken my wallet out of my backpack and hid it because it was just "hanging out of my bag". And then she forgot where she hid it.

    Anyway, after a morning of rooting around, we found it under the couch.
     
    I have to know where my stuff is at all times. I get really anxious if I'm missing something. Like one day, I couldn't find my black shorts and I was at work freaking out about them. I wasn't even home and I was going nuts wishing I could BE home to look for them. I needed to know right then and there, but couldn't, so it just ate at me til my sister sent me a pic of them cause she found them. I was relieved.

    That all being said, I don't like people picking my clothes off the couch. We all do the laundry here at home and it all goes to the couch for us to sift through and get ours. Sometimes, someone attempts to put everyones' clothes in a pile, but it ends up being bad. I'll be missing something or get someone else's clothes or whatever. And that leads to MORE freaking out about not knowing where things are.

    As far as moving things, I will pitch fits. I once came home to find someone cleaned my room and moved some of my furniture ever so slightly as if I wouldn't notice. I completely freaked out to the point of crying because in my world, everything was off balance. The worst thing you could ever do is move or change my furniture without my consent. I've always been that way. I once told my mom she had to send our new glass table back because I didn't like it.

    This was a lengthier reply than I originally anticipated...now you can all read about how crazy I am. The moral of the story is...never move, touch, or take Syd's things.

    Edit: I've also heard of cases where parents will go through their kids' stuff and throw it out or sell it without consent? I'm really thankful I never had to deal with that. My mom always let me choose what I didn't want anymore and what I wanted to keep. I guess she learned everything I said in this post early on lol.
     
    The only people that I live with on the regular are my mom and my boyfriend, and both have open access to my stuff if they want/need it. If I can't find it after, I ask them if they've used it, and if they lost it, they have to find it. I never have to bug them about it luckily; we all have a pretty strong sense of what's right and know that it's patently unfair to borrow something, lose it, and then make the person you borrowed it from search for it.
     
    At the moment thankfully I don't have to worry too much about people misplacing stuff (even if someone were to come here and misplace something, it's a small place and most likely easily found)...

    But anytime someone misplaces my stuff, I get grouchy. Irritable. Mutterings under my breath. I might not be the tidiest person around but I do tend to at least have a sense of where my things are, and anybody messing with that tends to annoy me. >:T I must know where my things are. Argh.
     
    This is one of the things I hate absolutely the most. From phones, to chargers, reminder notes, everything. As soon as I see something is missing, I already know someone was "cleaning up" my stuff, I almost instantly get into a rage mode. Not cos they did it, but because I told them zillion times to stop.doing.that.
     
    The only thing that annoys me is when people misplace things in the kitchen; like putting bread, garlic and onions in the fridge. Then when I try and tell them why it's not supposed to be there I get ignored, so annoying!
     
    I own my own house and I don't have any friends or family that are alive or visit me. The only person who ever is in my house is my girlfriend and she knows better to touch certain things of mine at all.
     
    Only my brother touches my things occasionally, but he always asks before. Besides when it comes to the one pair of headphones in the house. We have come to a compromise that we will share them but neither of us can take them out of the house without asking looooool. I actually tried to solve this by buying another pair, but the quality really sucks and I'm returning them pronto orrrr within the 60 day return policy tehe
     
    i have a motion activated camera in my house pointing to the door and when i set it on with my remote if anything moves then it will actually drop a huge cage when something or someone steps on the weight pad.yeah i have tricked out my room.
     
    Not such a problem really; I don't have much stuff. Clothes, toiletries, some kitchenware, but other than that it's pretty much just my laptop and a few books.
