why do they keep picking these stupid arguments with me, something like this happens every time, and then we go months and months without speaking

It sounds like everybody in this story is kind of a prick, honestly. None of you have an ounce of consideration or a willingness to accommodate the others.

just fucking take the fucking thing holy shit. get a job and move out.

Same with me and my parents. Gets really bad when I'm home from college for summer like now. If it's something small like that I'll do it and I just imagine torturing them to make me feel better.

What the fuck is wrong with you
Are you even self aware

There's nothing wrong with him. There's obviously just a very bad relationship between him and his parents. I don't really do shit like op but I always correct my parents and try to one-up them.

How is OP going to make any gains if he doesn't eat enough
fucking skinny faggot

If your parents pay for your food and accomodation you take the fucking food, put it in the box and take it home you disgusting prick, god I hate you

Idk sometimes you just cant do things.
for example I have a similar to go box story. One time i was eating out with family and we got to go boxes. My brother put his food in the box upside down causing it to not be able to stack nicely. And for 10 minutes I sat there staring at the uneven pile of stacked to go boxes thinking about how it's not right. So I tried to fix his box myself but they all stopped me multiple times from trying to right side up the box myself because it wasn't right. eventually they calmed me down by repeatedly telling me things in the world arent perfect and that's okay. I didn't agree but it calmed me down enough to put my food in the box.

For clarification the boxes tops are notched in slightly so the bottoms of other boxes can rest on top of them easier.

I'm also
Btw

that doesnt make me autistic does it? Because I was never mad about it I just couldn't do anything else till I tried to have it right.

the real crime is portion sizes in america

This. They paid for the food, and yeah I know you didn't want to be there in the first place but that doesn't matter, you put aside your own desires for a second in order to not make the situation worse than it is. You could have just thrown the food out when you got home and they weren't looking. There was no point to anything you did and it already made an awkward situation more awkward.

Literally all you had to do was pick up the box
>But I don't want to

Your mother has no way to know that because you apparently hate speaking
>I consider briefly cancelling the order to pack up the food since I don't want to take the leftovers home, but I decide to say nothing
>I do nothing and the conversation grows strained as it is clear they are simply waiting for me to put the food in the box
Do you not see the fucking problem? If you don't say what you want or what you don't want, your mother has no way of knowing and she'll naturally try to make those decisions herself.

Can't you understand that it wasn't aout the food at all? obviously op is trying to stick it to them or some shit like that.

You might have won the title of best post, which is best done when it is also the first post.

She's definitely my mother. Her pettiness forces her to do whatever she must to get me to take food home, and mine compels me to do whatever it takes to avoid this. We're not different at all. We've been waging this war for thirty years, and I just keep hoping she'll eventually learn to give in.

and of course, so is she. The stepfather is of no consequence, he just follows his girlfriend's lead.

I get that, I was a moody teenager once too. My point is that it's fucking stupid and accomplishes absolutely nothing, and overall he would be better off just doing the trivial thing of putting the food in the box and going rather than dragging the situation out and making things worse for everyone involved.

Just take it home and throw it out

Sometimes you have to lash out even if it is through absurd actions.

No you don't kekk

ofc you do. It's called being human. That's why many people are here in the first place. Just to argue for the sake of arguing.

As I've gotten older I've realized that no, you really don't. And if you do want lash out then do it in a way that the other people are going to understand why you are lashing out, in such a way that it might affect a change of some kind. The OP just acted like a mental retard in this situation, his stepfather and mother likely just thought 'oh he's acting like a moody retard again' and nothing will change. He could have taken the box, gone home, done what he wanted with the food, then maybe told his stepfather and mom directly 'next time I have leftovers could you leave up to me to decide if I want a take home box? thanks.'

I mean, I suppose if you're a literal child that's true. Part of maturity is accepting that you can't be a vindictive prick and that it's better to grin and bear it instead of causing unnecessary conflict.

Time and place retard
Lashing out at your parents of all things for something as stupid as this

Just because you consider it childish doesn't lessen the fact it's a natural response to people you have a poor relationship with. It's funny because we're literally all acting just like OP right now refusing to pick up the carton and just go.

Yes its a natural response if you have the mentality of a child. OP is not a child and shouldn't act like one regardless of how much he hates his doo doo parents

everyone acts like that. we're acting like that right now.

Time and place you retard
Whats acceptable in OPs situation and whats acceptable here is obviously going to be different. I can't bother replying to you any longer please wait until you are 18 years old to post.

you sound very autistic/OCD
a normal person wouldnt give a shit
a normal person would have just picked up the box like they asked and left
you make a fuss about dumb shit and they get annoyed with you and you get annoyed with them and refuse to even acknowledge them and they treat you're a retard because you act like one

your parents are overprotective and understand you too well

learn to be like OP and needlessly resist them over stupid thinks like box positioning. It will serve you well

They resent you for living the good life as a NEET.
