I came home one day and our dog had chewed up on OH headset for his PlayStation.
He then told me, didn't ask, told me that he was going to use my mobile phone headset, I never use it so I wasn't fussed but he could have said please. The not asking riled me enough but I shook it off. I made a comment about saying please, jokingly as it was all playful banter at this moment.
He retaliated by saying he can do whatever the he like a with whatever he wants and I do not get a say.
Now, while he was on the other room setting up his PlayStation, I hid a pair of scissors up my sleeve and ajoutes him to say he's picked up the wrong headphones and the ones he has aren't mine. There was a lot of back and forth until he came in and gave them to me to look at and prove to me they were mine.. Big mistake.
I took the scissors and held the wire firmly between the blades. Watched him squirm and giggle while begging me not to.
I gave out a hopeful sigh, raised my eyebrows in the "don't be rude again" way. He relaxed and SNIP. I cut those bastards in half.
I will treasure the look on his face forever and he has been ever so polite since.
Moral of the story is, don't think your big and clever when it comes to things that are a luxury not a necessity.
Disclaimer: it sounds abusive but we still laugh about it now. He was shocked I did it but at the end of the day they were mine and it doesn't affect his use of the PlayStation other than he can't talk to his mates
