So, back when my sister and I shared a desktop computer, we had separate accounts. And she would not stay off of mine, always messing about in my documents, pictures, and programs. So I did the logical thing. I put a password on my account and made myself the administrator so that she couldn't get into my account no matter what.
Then I got my own laptop and stopped using the desktop. So of course, nothing happened with the different accounts anymore. And my sister barely used it anyway, because when we were in our apartment, we couldn't connect it to the internet.
But today, my sister was able to connect the desktop to the internet due to the fact that we got a house. Except for the fact that I was the administrator and the administrator is the only one that can mess with the internet connections.
So Mom calls me and she's pissed. She'd been trying to connect to the internet with the desktop and realized that she couldn't. She tried to get me to say my password, but here's the thing, I couldn't remember. I hadn't been on that computer in so long, so of course I forgot. So I'm trying to mediate the situation, calm her down, and all the while I'm at work and trying to watch customers as well as remember all my passwords.
Well, we finally figure it out. Thank god...
But she practically calls me a twat. She says (verbatim),
"In the words of Andrew Moores (her friend); anyone who puts a password on their computer is a twat."
So did she, or did she not call me a twat? She did. Indirectly of course, but still...Argh.
It kind of stung that she didn't understand that I just wanted to keep my sister out of my stuff, and that she called me an idiot for taking non-confrontational action. I understand that it irritated her, but it irritates me that she got mad at me because I wanted my privacy.
But that's how life is I guess. You get called an idiot because you want to have some things private. And do you know what?
That sucks.
