I've some terrible pent up anger with my aunt, most important that behind my back she complains about me on all manner of things. I live with her because it's cheaper than living on the campus, but still, holy crap, I shouldn't put up with some of this stuff, and sometimes I just don't.
Example, she's been complaining about me not feeding the fire (We have a wood burning stove outside that we use for heating the house. It doesn't matter much to me since it only blows out one vent, cycles towards another, and my room's door is usually closed, so it rarely does any good for me). Well, I feed it just as much as I always do, screw that. I'm also expected to do it in the morning before we leave because neither of us get back before 6 in the evening. Well, clock didn't go off (I need to kick it's ass), thank goodness for phone alarm. It was freaking cold in my room, so I decided to pop in bed for a couple more minutes to warm up before getting ready to leave, just long enough that it forced her to get out and fill the firebox herself for a damn change. (Her fiance and I pretty much did it ourselves for 5 months with her filling it maybe once a month, and it takes 3 fills a day to keep warm)
New thing she's complaining about is that apparently my entire rent cost ($300) is going towards my food. That's basically saying that I'm eating $10 a day when I go visit family 5 days a month, eat only one meal a day on weekdays, she already made more than she could eat by herself before I moved in, usually throwing it out after two days, and I keep extra food in my room for the days I don't eat her cooking, usually one day a week and covers most of my food for the weekends. I've started taking notes on what it's actually costing me, and after one month I'm going to stick the paper in her face and say "Here, now you can pay the internet bill no problem, because it's pretty fucking obvious you're exaggerating." (For reference, growing up with my family, food was $400 a month between 5 people plus some extra to eat out. Even if you're generous with costs that's only $100 a month a person, and it's just her, I, her third chance boyfriend visiting 3 times a week and two dogs. And somehow I'm eating nearly three times the cost in my Aunt's home than it does with my family. Fuck that noise.)
Another new complaint, not cooking dinner. I went and cooked it last night, she was a half damn hour late, so I just left her food out and let it get cold. She complains that I'm not doing enough housework when I've got schoolwork to be doing? (And yes, it can take me 12 hours sometimes to finish an assignment, all that going into research, books, searches, questions, notes, examples, guesswork), I make the house dirty on the side while I clean what she complains about (usually, a fine invisible layer of dirt and mud on her rugs and floor).
She complains a few times about not keeping an eye on her dog (emphasis on "Her"), while it continues to be terrible with it's house training. I keep the little bastard outside when it's just tolerable enough it won't freeze to death, as badly as he'll want in. It's a small dog too, sometimes it annoys the hell out of me while I'm collecting the previously mentioned firewood, climbing on the stacks. I toss the bastard away and get back to collecting, and that actually saved it's life a couple of times because the next log starts rolling things down from the top of the pile. If it really irks me and it pees on the floor, I leave it, let my aunt step in it in the morning instead of me doing so.
By the way, me and my aunt don't have a friendship, we have a reluctant living agreement. So it isn't hurting anything so long as she doesn't notice I'm intentionally bastardizing the place. I know it's not really pranking instead of petty rebellion, but I like to think it counts.
