I was painting my Dreamcast earlier and after I put on the final coat, my dad moved it all over the place (messing it up). Now I am out of paint >.<. He said that he thought it was dry >.<

Now my dreamcast looks worse than before (got it used and it turned yellow from being in a smokey environment) This sucks...

discuss/ laugh at me >.<

Ask him to get you more paint ? He did mess it up u know ......
Put up a pic , lets see how bad it is........

Kilokk · « **Reply #2 on:** May 05, 2009, 05:54:11 AM »

are you prepared for the horrors that you will face?

also if i try that, he will just say "I'm your father, you live in my house and your under 18. EVERYTHING you own, everything you do, is MINE!" of course, that is the edited version

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #3 on:** May 05, 2009, 06:53:56 AM »

Ha Ha that is definitely true, everywhere !!! I'm over 18 and my dad does that for even the stuff that i've bought myself

your dad is mean... My dad taught me how to solder, taught me how to spraypaint/airbrush last summer, he lets me use his HUGE workbench, paintballs with me, and even took me to a "geek" convention.

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #6 on:** May 05, 2009, 09:04:26 PM »

@ Alentris - YOU are lucky

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #7 on:** May 05, 2009, 09:34:06 PM »

Yeah I feel for you guys... My dad can get hot-headed sometimes, but never THAT mean. I mean, most my modding stuff he bought for me =D

But sucks about the paintjob Kilokk. Even if you get more paint, sand it all down a little with like, 600 grit sandpaper first. Good luck...

Kilokk · « **Reply #8 on:** May 05, 2009, 09:52:59 PM »

oh my dad is cool, he just doesn't like it when i say he owes me something... He is physically handicapped (as is my mother) so we live on a fixed income. I buy everything I have (for the most part anyway) and we usually have fun, but its just frustrating that I got to the LAST coat, and it gets screwed up >.<

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #9 on:** May 05, 2009, 10:00:46 PM »

oh well , my dad aint that great...... hez always cussing me even if i dont do anything. No seriously , if i'm just sitting and reading a newspaper he'll start shouting at me !!!

Kilokk · « **Reply #10 on:** May 06, 2009, 03:14:24 AM »

dude... BULL

! I would be so :censored:ing mad at my dad for that!

IDK what the age is when your an adult in india, but at 18 i would be gone cause of that

.

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #11 on:** May 06, 2009, 05:37:06 AM »

I am legally an adult , 18 is the adult age here in India too but the problem is that there is a HUGE difference between India n the USA/UK or any western country as such.... I CANNOT get a job to pay for my college tuition fee and so am unfortunately dependent on my parents....

U wont believe it that my dad bought me a cell phone in my birthday last year but did not get me a connection , he then took the cell phone and now has been using it for the past 6 months. I had to buy a phone by spending all my savings and he doesnt know about it only my mum does. My father doesnt really care for my feelings..........

Kilokk · « **Reply #12 on:** May 06, 2009, 05:40:09 AM »

dude... idk about the traditions and customs of india, but here in america we would call that a :censored:head move there buddy >.<

sorry, this isnt meant to offend you but your dad sounds like an

>.>

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #13 on:** May 06, 2009, 05:48:37 AM »

Its not about traditions and customs, its just that i cant afford a place of my own coz i dont have a job and i cant get a job unless i go to college for which i need money that i can only get from my parents and that is why i have to put up with all this

..... I dont give a

about customs.... According to the customs/traditions going on the internet is taboo and computers are evil !!! ha ha :

N i totally agree with what u said about him , thank god i've got AM + the people here to talk to coz most of the people here in India dont talk sense, i'll explain what i just said later coz i g2g now....

Kilokk · « **Reply #14 on:** May 06, 2009, 06:10:47 AM »

no i mean how fathers are supposed to treat there sons... every culture, it seems, has a different way of going about it >.>

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #15 on:** May 06, 2009, 07:26:43 AM »

oh well its only my dad who behaves like that , its not a culture thing to explain his behaviour. he just hates me..........

treemty · « **Reply #16 on:** May 06, 2009, 09:06:35 AM »

dudeeeee, that really sucks...
my parents are pretty cool, but randomly they get really pissed at me, and threaten to take my stuff away, but then I remind them that I make my own money and tpretty much own EVERYTHING in my room, except furniture XD
I literally threaten to take their stuff away when they threaten me like that...weird huh
no offense dhruv, your dads sounds worse than anybody I know...and Kilokk, thats weird that he wont buy you a new paint

hmmm... Tell him you'll bee a responsible paintball gun owner, and only shoot it at a stationary target, or at a field. Also, if you haven't already, try enrolling in a hunter safety course to prove that you're responsible to make your own decisions, and prove that you can use a gun properly.

treemty · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2009, 04:14:25 AM »

maybeh,
he just keeps saying "we live in an apartment, you cant shoot it here" even tho we live3 next to a HUGE forest...
ill try your idea

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #21 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:24:02 PM »

Maybe , how much ? I'm still saving up for a PS3, hopefully i might be able to afford one by November or so.
Dunno if i'll ever get it or not. If i go to a hostel then i can't get a PS3

treemty · « **Reply #22 on:** May 08, 2009, 04:19:40 AM »

hostel?

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #23 on:** May 08, 2009, 04:52:21 AM »

u dunno whats a hostel ???

Hmmm.... Hostel : An establishment in an educational campus providing lodging and food for students.

Kilokk · « **Reply #24 on:** May 08, 2009, 09:29:26 AM »

idk about india but in germany its like a dorm or hotel for students... am i right?

lol we dont have them in the usa btw...

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #25 on:** May 08, 2009, 10:37:47 AM »

yes its a dorm. And a tiny one at that lmfao with anywhere between 2 to 6 people sharing the space. I'll have to make do with a laptop and a psp if i do go to a hostel. Arggh.... It'll dash all my hopes for a ps3

Lol sorry if i sound wierd , but where do American College students stay ? Are the colleges so near to residential areas . I do think that you have hostels cause a friend of mine is coming to the us to pursue aerospace engineering from a really good american university and a she is gonna be staying in a hostel /dorm.

Kilokk · « **Reply #26 on:** May 08, 2009, 11:07:48 AM »

well we have dorms but most americans never hear the word hostel in their lives. There are so many differences to the 2 that i just say that we dont have them... Usually we only have 1 or 2 and in some cases 3 to a dorm (one room not the whole thing) and you can pretty much do what you want in them. My older cousin's dorm is basically an apartment.

Work in four hours, no sleep, on carts... need more dew...

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #27 on:** May 08, 2009, 11:29:47 AM »

you sure do love Mountain dew don't you. Maybe its somethin a lil diff over there coz the dew we have is just fizzy sweetened water , lol.
We have too many rules here in dorms. No tv , some don't even allow cell phones. I wanted to go to the us or uk for college but can't afford it. But hopefully for m.tech ....

Kilokk · « **Reply #28 on:** May 08, 2009, 12:17:30 PM »

dood! import some us dew in anyway you can! ISWEARTOGOD its like liquid crack!!!!

dude... if someone tried to tell me no tv i would go upside there head >.< granted i would unceremoniously be asked to leave (GTFO is more like it) but meh

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #29 on:** May 08, 2009, 12:38:23 PM »

about the dew , i can see its effects on you lol . I think red bull would be close enough ? Oh n yes , you would definitely be kicked out !
