So my girlfriend and I are staying with her family for a couple months in between apartments. First of all, it's her, her mom, her 10 and 14 year old brother, her uncle (stays in the basement most of the time), her 2 giant huskies, and about 15 cats. Now the house is pretty small which creates a problem in itself. She's an Italian girl and her family is Italian, which means they're always screaming at each other, which creates another problem in itself. Her 14 year old brother is like an ADD kid on crack. You can see how these things mix.Anyways, nobody knocks. Ever. I got out of the shower today and I'm standing in the bathroom in my boxers at the mirror putting aftershave on my face. I hear the door creak open. I figure it was just my girlfriend (because she can never knock either) coming to ask me some retarded question. Nope, it's her mom with a basket full of towels. "Oh I'm sorry". I think she was just trying to get a glimpse of the trophy.My girlfriend and I are laying in bed just waking up the other morning. (A little foreshadowing. #1, I sleep naked. #2, we have a chinchilla. It's cute, furry, exotic, weird, and everyone wants to see it.) Door swings open. It didn't even open subtley. It shot open like f*cking lightning. It's her 14 year old brother and his friend. "Jen can I show Isabela the chinchilla". Just a reminder we're naked and sleeping at this moment. My girlfriend yelled at him to get the hell out. Her 10 year old brother comes in here whenever he likes to swoop my video games to go play em. He usually waits until we aren't home to scavenge through my sh*t, which is nice... I guess. (Funny note - Ironically as I was typing this sentence, the 10 year old brother came in here, without knocking of course, to borrow a video game. I had to minimize the window really fast so he didn't see my bagging of his family.)Her uncle is a giant Italian man. He has more body hair than a sasquatch. When you see like the Nair Infomercials with the guy with the disgustingly unsightly back and chest hair, he's that guy. He walks around the house all the time with no shirt on. I'm not sure how that invades my privacy, but I'm sure it does somehow.I talk to my girlfriend about how this stuff drives me nuts, and she just says sorry, seems offended, and does nothing about it. Do I just not say anything and start locking the door everytime I go into a room like some freak? Do I start yelling at her brothers and wear out my welcome and become an ***hole? I really don't want to be mean to anyone here because her mom is like the sweetest lady ever. I don't know what to do.
It's her families place so I'm sure she wants to say something but she cant, it probably woulden't make a difference, but you guys should start looking for your own place.
Well, since it's only temporary, I'd say locking the door and just waiting it out is probably your best option too.
That's awesome. A super hairy uncle? I think the thing to do is ignore and be greatful for their home. You can still lock the door and not seem like a freak.
Hey I don't blame you, I'd be pissed too. Sometimes you gotta deal with dumb sh*t, just roll with it.
Lol, a really hairy uncle that lives in their basement? Well, I had to stay at my grandfathers house for a month. That was even worse. Boring as hell.I think you should invest in a lock then...It's not really that creepy to lock the door when you're in the bathroom.
I think the easiest solution without causing a shoutfest, would be to lock the door. This way they will be forced to knock, also if your lucky maybe after a couple times this will register in their head and they will knock when the door isn't locked. Probably not.
That sucks, I love my privacy....as long as your girlfriend is hot it's okay though. Just lock the door, there's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, what a sh*tty family. Some people are real dicks, you know. One time this guy was like, "Hey, you can live in my house and F*ck my daughter!" And I was like, "Man, you're a dick!"

Yeah your best bet is probably to just lock the door and wait things out. As far as her brothers, just sit them down and explain to them that they need to ask you before taking your games. I'm not really sure what to tell you about the hairy uncle though...I would like to know though... Does he fro the back hair out?
