Have you ever: Walked in on research

[AdinX]

So it's 11:47, I'm doing last minute school work, finishing up documents, listening to music, procrastinating with clever bot. Being stupid. The printer stopped working for some reason, so I started toying with cables. Nothing. So I start walking out into my living room, where my dad is. He isn't aware that I'm still awake, and he has the TV on. I, fairly audibly, say "Daaad?"

No response. I come around the corner, allowing me a full view of the living room. He has headphones on, and hes facing away from me, with his tablet on the couch roughly a foot away from his face.

2 girls 1 guy, didn't even have to look that hard to tell it was research. My mom is out of country until Thursday, and he tried rushing me and my little brother off to bed. Earlier, when I was still up, he got upset and asked "WHY ARE YOU STILL UP??" I had school work and I have to meet certain conditions to take medication of mine.
I'm so full of wot I refuse to walk in there and ask him to fix the printer but I need to print these 8 pages loving cables aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I've nothing against research nor him utilizing it, however he has a room all to himself, and people sit on those couches. Those $700 couches that my mom spent months finding. That if there is a single spot left, we are ALL dead.
So yeah this is weird, I'm somewhat uncomfortable and my printer is borked. Help me forums

happened to me when i was six, walked in to my dad's room and his face was 2 inches from the monitor. i didn't even know what research was so i said his name and he proceeded to close the window as fast as possible

Take his headphones off and demand him to stop watching research and fix your printer.

he just got up, I can hear him walking between the kitchen and living room and I think he just walked by, glancing at my word document and the printer's HUD
edit: he came back, sat in my chair, looked over my controls, clicked around on the settings and it started printing.

Yeah my dad, but whatever, we all do it.

Not in public I don't :I
I keep that sort of thing up in my room. Why else would we have door locks? Hide from a burglar? pfft.

You should have grabbed a little pile of papers, and carefully placed them so they look like someone dropped them, and ran out of the room, lol.

[BanishedLetters]

ask him to fix it in the morning?

I considered opening a new tab on my computer and putting some freaky tentacle research on a loop on my screen, then running upstairs :L

Children are a bloody hassle, good for him getting a break.

Says the 15 year old with a 12+ page drama to his name :I
I'm quiet and anti-social so long as I have music. Only break he's getting is a chance to warm up unused muscles.

That, and he has no job at the moment. He does whatever he wants almost all day long. He actually COSTS more than he's worth. I've learned and recieved 95% of everything I have from my mom, aside from the gift of life, he's only so good a father figure to the point where he just has to have things his way.

Typically I wouldn't react this way to a post, but the fact that you say children. I'm older than you. Who the hell are you even talking about.
