"Stop computer now and come watch the TV" - TV is freaking boring and there nothing at it..
Yeah, seriously.  My parents complain that I don't even watch TV all the time like they do.  Sitting and watching TV literally can put me to sleep if I really do it all day like they do.  It's absolutely ridiculous and you just get spoonfed information and data.  That's why I prefer a computer over TV, because at least then I can actually interact and use my millions of brain cells.

"Come out of your cave"
They refer to my room as a cave.
Holy stuff, my whole family refers to my room as my cave as wall.

I'm like "If you're going to call it a cave, at least call it a mancave."

'stop it you're hurting me"
i lol'd hard xD

"quick, get my condoms!"

"The Computer/TV gives you square eyes."

My best friend refers to his room as his cave, as do his parents, so when I'm over and we're about to delve into hours of computer time we announce that we're going to go hide in his cave.

Lol. Anyway, another thing that was absolutely crazy pissing me off, was when we first got our family iMac. We turned it on, and it asked us to create a password for an iTunes account. Shortly after that we were asked to create a password to login with. My dad starts getting upset, saying "I don't want things getting fouled up with too many passwords to remember! Why do we even need the second password! This is ridiculous! Why are there so many damn passwords, we have enough trouble as is remembering passwords!". Well dad, maybe that's a problem for you, but it's not for me. And it's not for my mom. Not to mention there's a very good reason to have both of those passwords, and even after I explained why both those passwords are necessary he still didn't really get it.

Speaking of the iMac, my parents used to get soooooo uber pissed if I used their computer to play games (since my laptop is too old to handle even minecraft). They don't want me hosting an MC server for a few friends, they don't want me playing any games for more than an hour, and it's stupid. They don't even know why it's "bad", because it isn't bad. They don't understand that there is nothing dangerous, or hindering to the computer when doing any of those things. Besides, they hardly ever use the damn thing, so I'm really the only one in the family who makes good use of the 1200 some-odd bucks they shelled out on it.

Sorry for the wall of text, had to vent that. No tl;dr, just read.

My dad couldn't know less about computers if he tried, so he's always asking for my help with stuff that would take him five seconds to Google and another ten to actually do. I like helping him but he always asks for the help at the worst times.

>WOW WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS PLAYING GAMES DON'T YOU EVER DO ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE

The one thing that my parents say that pisses me off the most probably has to be, "Priorities," or, "Your priorities aren't straight," with regard to the fact that I spend a lot of time on my computer. My dad has this nasty habit of saying it to me all the loving time and every time he does, I want to punch him in the face. My priorities are as straight as a goddamn pencil. Did you ever think that maybe the reason why I'm on my computer so much is because, gee, I don't know, my computer is my top priority?

Also:
>want to buy something online that requires a credit card
>ask parents for credit card saying that I'll reimburse them since I don't have my own credit/debit card yet
>WHY DO YOU NEED A CREDIT CARD FOR THIS ONLINE PURCHASE, HUH?

"Stop computer now and come watch the TV" - TV is freaking boring and there nothing at it..
Yeah I never realized how ridiculous it is to be asked to be moved from a PC to a TV  :cookieMonster:

But usually its just for family times

I usually win in the end, but whenever I need a credit card I always have to lay out a loving blueprint of what exactly I want to use the credit card for, why I'm going to use it, how much it costs, then they have to ask me if I have the money for it, and of course I have the money, that's why I'm bothering to ask for the credit card. Bottom line, I feel your pain Rae.

"where you checking her out?"

Yeah, they usually end up letting me buy it in the end, too, but like you said, I have to run the loving gauntlet of questions to get them to let me buy it.

Another thing I hate is when my parents won't let me buy Steam games for friends, they're always like, "YOU'RE NOT SPENDING YOUR MONEY IN A SMART WAY."

...

I don't loving care what you think, like you just said, it's my goddamn money, I can do with it what I want. And no I won't save the $30 this game costs because I have another $300 to save so forget your stuff.

Any time my mom tries to one-up me when it comes to computers/the internet/musical instruments.
I've literally been using the computer since I was 18 months old, my sisters and my mom herself can back that up. I was pretty much raised by the computer, and for the past 7 or 8 years all I've done is study computers and use the internet.
Alright mom, maybe I don't know how to use accounting software for a business- what I do know is that it is NOT okay to place a computer against a wall, blocking airflow to the power supply's fan. I DO know that the microwave is interfering with her wireless card due to EMI (When the microwave is turned on, the wireless frequencies are jammed by the microwave's, preventing the card from communicating with the router. There's nothing wrong with where the router is, we're not going to loving move it). eBay is NOT some kind of black market scheme to rip people off.
This stuffty little window air conditioner isn't cutting it, it's fine in the evenings but it gets damn hot in my room during the day, and the fluctuating temperatures are warping my guitars. Going from 80 degrees to 60 degrees and back up to 80 is NOT an okay environment for guitars.
