Yah, i know, "age is catching up", "you ought to act your age", "you are no longer a small kid". Still, can someone PLEASE just understand i am REALLY trying my best to put up with my brother's habits. There are just some places you don't go with your family no matter how close everyone might seem to be. Well, i did suggest that he puts all his stuff in a zip-lock when he's around (i gave him a bowl in the end OK). AND, its not like small kids care whether or not their room is tidy. I like my things placed neatly and its going to be with me the rest of my life before i become senile. Sometimes i try to explain things to my family members; like try knocking or next time i will undress myself completely in my room and give you some shock factor. How can there possibly be a generation gap when i am already at theirs?
