Is there someone who *really* gets to you?

For me, there is one person. He is my dad.

Some of you already know about this slime of a person. For those of you who don't, I shall tell you that there has never been such an obnoxious and thoughtless person. Other people's time? Well, fuck, there's no need for that if you're the "master of the house". He'll do whatever he damn well pleases and insult anyone when he feels like it, and nobody can say anything about it. It really pisses me off, and I'm especially mad right now, because he just spent an hour dicking around on my computer when he said he'd just be twenty minutes.

Who gets to You?

Try a drunk for a father. Since I was about eight years old, my father has been drunk almost the entire time. Still alive for some reason.

A bit more than obnoxious.

Damn. Well, at least he has sensory deprivation. My dad takes advantage of his current physical state... It's really getting difficult to put up with this shit.

Well, my father is pretty animated and assholish for someone who consumes two liters of vodka a day.

Loves to call up everyone in the family and spread ridiculous rumors about who said what about whom.

Extremely manipulative. Loves to play the victim.

And he turned my mom into a complete fruitcake, just by being himself.

well, at the moment, my cheating ex. she cheated on me for about 8 months of our year and 2 month relationship, the last six months of which have been long distance. (before anyone suggests it, i know for a fact that it wasn't our sex which did it. she's just kind of a slut, apperantly :D )
anyway. she called last night at 3 in the morning to, it seems, harrass me. we broke up 5 days ago (when i found out) and she's dating someone new. she says she was wondering if i was upset. i pretty much hung up and went back to sleep. oy.

"Is there someone who *really* gets to you?"

Surprisingly, not many people "get to" me. The one exception might be my ex. Although I still love her and would do virtually anything for her that she truly needed, she knows all the "buttons" to push and is very manipulative. Over the years, I have learned to control my anger at this ... most of the time. Every once in awhile though, I have to simply get up and walk away, or hang up the phone. The really sad thing is, she's in total denial that she is manipulative in any way, manner, shape or form. Sigh. :(

My sisters got this friend who has to be THE most obnoxious person on this planet.

1) She asked my sister to be one of her daughter godmothers, because her other kids godparents don't buy him enough presents.
2) She has two kids under 4 and keeps attack dogs on her property and insists other people bring their kids over to play with her rotweiler and alsatians too
3) She gatecrashed my wedding (it was small with family only invited, not even my own friends came)
4) She takes phone calls on her mobile while everyone else watches a movie, and doesn't talk, rather shouts
5) She talks about people behind their back while they're still in the same room and loud enough for them to hear
6) No other dog, or breed of dog is any good, small dogs are all sick and are completely useless for breeding
7) She lets her kids loose in anyone elses house and doesn't bother to check that they're behaving themselves
8) She turns up completely unannounced and doesn't leave. For hours. And never changes the baby's nappy. Or feed the kids.
9) No one else can have any sort of opinion. If you do, you're wrong and as thick as a 2x4, and she lets everyone else know (see point 5)
10) If she's not talking about her dogs, she's talking about the fortune she spent on doing up her house, but we've never seen any construction work going on out there

I hate her, I can feel steam rising when she waltzes in, expecting everything to stop for her, and everyone to pay attention to her, and clean up after her kids have pulled everything asunder while she talks about her dogs being in heat and how she increased the size of her house by a 1/3. And her husbands a chef, and insists on bringing in food that he taught her how to cook, but she has no talent and offers food poisoning on a plate....I hate her

But it's still a diamond, even an inexpensive diamond is still enough to feed you for a month, buy a couple of new release PC games, buy a new DVD recorder, more RAM for your PC, a new digital camera, etc, etc, etc. I didn't get a diamond till I'd said YES to the big question, and he worships the ground I walk on! He paid a small fortune to ship me over to the US from Ireland because he was lonely...but I'm still on the one diamond (worth a grand euro though, can't complain!)

It used to be my Dad, but I eventually realised that although he is an slightly emotionally-retarded lazy slob he's not a bad person and he does love me so we get on better now, and the Fathers that some of you have described make me feel very lucky to have him so I think I might have to go hug him soon.
Also more recently there has been a certain boy who I used to (and ok, still do) think was the most interesting and cool guy I'd ever met which was probably one of the reasons he got me so worked up, especially when he didn't understand why I didn't want to go out with him after he'd just been talking about how much he was still in love with his two exes

My dad has done (and continues to do) similar things.

3) She gatecrashed my wedding (it was small with family only invited, not even my own friends came)

I can see my dad doing that.

4) She takes phone calls on her mobile while everyone else watches a movie, and doesn't talk, rather shouts

My dad talks constantly throughout movies, with a loud voice. No phones, though.

5) She talks about people behind their back while they're still in the same room and loud enough for them to hear

My dad does this all too often.

9) No one else can have any sort of opinion. If you do, you're wrong and as thick as a 2x4, and she lets everyone else know (see point 5)

My dad is the SAME way. If you disagree with him, or have a differing opinion, you're a "fucking psycho". Oh, the irony!

I hate her, I can feel steam rising when she waltzes in, expecting everything to stop for her, and everyone to pay attention to her, and clean up after her kids have pulled everything asunder while she talks about her dogs being in heat and how she increased the size of her house by a 1/3. And her husbands a chef, and insists on bringing in food that he taught her how to cook, but she has no talent and offers food poisoning on a plate....I hate her

My dad is very much the same, but he doesn't talk about dogs (we doesn't have any). He obnoxiously mentions my gaming rig PC and the 32" HDTV we *used* to have, though.

I enjoy my time away from him. I spent a whole two weeks at my Aunt's house, and yes, that was a very nice time. It all came to an abrupt end, however, when I heard a doorbell. Then, from the other end of the house (my Aunt's house is massive, so that's saying something), I could hear his voice. Everywhere he goes, an unpleasant aura follows. It's terrible. Whenever he appears like that, my mood instantly worsens, as does everyone else's.

When I leave him for good, I will finally be happy.

At least another year. Hey, sometimes, you have to use people...

Oh, you should see the way my dad eats ice cream cones. He extends his tounge as far as possible, puts it on the ice cream, and presses it. It's disgusting. And the noises he makes...

I'm a dad myself. I have a 12 year old daughter, who has a considerable amount of freedom compared to her friends.

I never go in her room, nor on her computer.

Not that I don't show interest in her or her daily life, but I try to keep out of the way.

My wife and I thought about this in advance - as my daughter grew older, we knew she would want more and more independence, without the feeling of being tossed out on the street. So we've been working on letting her be independent.

Will do the same thing when the boys get older.

And I have no idea about the eating thing. He smacks (not naturally --- he FORCES it), he makes gulping sounds when he drinks, he grunts and "mmmhs" when he chews (also when he licks ice cream), and he makes chomping sounds...

My dad used to just make me nuts. He's also one of those hyper critical people who thinks you're a complete moron if you disagree with him. Nothing I ever did was good enough for him. I finally realized nothing ever would be. He's also one of the most self-centered narcissists I've ever met. Yes, he's brilliant and charming, but he knows it. :headbang:
