...but I wanted to give it a few weeks so I can review it. That will still have to wait, because there's a problem on my hands. My sister took the car out last night and it came back this morning reeking of pot, with leaves all over the passenger side couch and floor. I don't have too much of a problem with pot, but the fact that someone refused to listen to my sister and ruined the atmosphere of my car by doing pot has gotten me really pissed off. So I need advice for two things. 1) That smell needs to be gone. Not a trace, of anything left in that car. And it cannot be done with any cover-up smell. I want no artificial scents in the car and would prefer it smell like when we bought it 10 days ago. 2) I want to bring this kid down for pissing me off, direspecting my sister and my property, and making it possible for me to arrested had I got pulled over for any reason this morning. I need ways of collecting all those leaves as evidence, tracking the kid down, and getting the police involved. At the very least, his parents must know, and I need to personally give him a verbal ass-whoopin'. A review of the car will happen as soon as I deal with the kid. -------------

You would ruin a kid's life and put a dent on his record just because your new car smells bad?

I live in the U.S. And yes, I am seeking vengeance. This kid and my sister's other friends have been pissing me off for the last couple of years and have nearly gotten me in trouble for smoking in my other car (which blew up on me, hence why I have a new one). I seek to get my revenge without breaking any laws. -------------

He doesn't have much of a life to be ruined anyway. And yes, I seek to make him miserable for potentially ruining a car that I plan to keep for the next 8-12 years. Making me smell something rancid every time I step into my car is ruining it and its resale value. It's nearly impossible to rid these smells from a car, so I could be dealing with this for a long time. He deserves all the trouble I can get him into for that. -------------

I don't think you are fully understanding what kind of bad things happen to someone with a drug rap. And if you do, thats your problem. Edit: I would be more angry at your sister, I doubt that two dudes were just in the car smoking weed and she was just driving around saying "oh you guys don't!! lol lol". -------------

I am angry at my sister. But when she gets angry about her friends doing that kind of crap around her, she flips out. It happened close to that kid's friend's house, so she dropped him off there. I don't think you understand the problem it would have been for me to be caught with all that evidence had I been pulled over this morning. I don't think you understand how repulsed I am by pot, and the fact that the smell has the potential to bother me and get me angry every time I drive the car in the next ten years. Having a cover-up smell will still remind me about today. I don't like being angry, because it interferes with my life and my success. Things from way back in the past still interfere with my normal functioning these days. I will be constantly reminded of this day until that car is out of my hands. The problems it has the potential to cause in my life can be nearly as bad as having a record for doing drugs. -------------

Yes. The kid deserves it. He cheapened a brand new car because he wanted to smoke pot. He had no reguard for someone elses property, why should tolgak have any reguard for his well being. I have absolutely no sympathy for this kid. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

Steam Cleaning is the way to go, also air out the Car for a while so the smell decipates. When I brought my truck the previous owner must had been a chain smoker. It smelled if stale cigarettes. I Steam Cleaned the upholstry and aired out a few days and now the only way you can tell it was ever smoked in is a small cigarette burn in the plastic in the ash tray. -------------

Ok so you guys seem to think it's a bad thing that this kid gets introuble but what happens when he gets pulled over and is the one getting in trouble now his life is ruined because some kid couldn't handle the erge to smoke pot in tolgaks new car. So lets make a list: smoked in car that is not his risked tolgaks future for his fun has been making tolgak miserable for a few years risked his sisters life for his pleasure sounds like he doesn't have a life anyways ruined the value of a brand new car So sounds like a good enough list of reasons to get him locked up or fined or what ever they do in your state. But either way tell your parent then get a vacumm clean out your car of all the leaves the get a blower fan open all the doors and run the fan so it blows the smell out. As for the cars original smell you may be able to get it detailed and possible get some of that smell back but I really do doubt it. |

How old is this kid? What exactly did your sister say happened? Why the hell would you let your irresponsible sister and annoying, pot-smoking friends ride around in your car in the first place? From the evidence presented, let me create a scenario for you of what may have actually happed: Your car reeks strongly of weed, there's bud all over the place. Unless your sister physically attacked him, he was high as hell when he packed that bowl and spilled it all over without realizing it. Smell the weed, smell the car, how strong is the smell in your car compared to the bud? Unless it has a particularly strong odor like some varieties, if your car really reeks, and there's weed all over, it sounds like they clambaked it. Check your windows, if you can detect resin on them, he definatly wasn't sparking a joint with the window down. If your sis didnt smoke she probably got contact high, thought she was straight and didnt realize how bad the car was, or she'd have tried to clean it up(how inconsiderate is your sister?) and tried to downplay what happened and pin it on a friend she knows you already dislike. I'd at least hold your sister accountable for not stopping him before he started smoking, they both need an ass-chewing. If he gives you crap about it he's probably got a punch in the nose coming as well. One or both of them should be made to clean your car for you. What are pot laws like in FL? Is it a felony there? Posession under an ounce around here is a misdemenor that will get you a ticket and a court date if they dont just take it. Either way, I wouldn't get the police involved. Stinking up your car isnt a felony. It's an asshole thing to do, but I dont think this requires law enforcement involvment. Go after the kid, if you dont get satisfaction and a free car cleaning, tell his parents. If you do get the police involved, I hope you park your car in a garage since you would have both pissed him off as well as told him how concerned you are about your car, making it a prime target. As for getting the best way to get that smell out of your car, air it out and take out the floormats and such, blast the heat, if you can find some sort of spray that is agreeable to you use it, or something that doesnt smell but will absorb the odor, try sticking a couple of boxes of baking soda in there, it works in the fridge. If that doesnt work, shampoo the carpet, wash the windows, armorall the dash and stuff. Usually it seems to air out pretty quickly, although some types of upolstry hold it pretty bad. Google could probably provide good answers to this question, I'm sure somewhere on the internetz someone has had the problem of a car that smells like weed and found a good solution to it.

Throw a loaf of white bread in the car, and go to auto zone and get car odor eliminator. Its usually unscented. Or just park the car in the sun with the windows down for a day and your good to go. Make sure it cycles from really hot, to cool. 1. Never lend your sister the car 2. Never lend a woman your car, especially if you have nice wheels. 3.

After my sister febreezed the car, only one or two leaves remained and the car still stunk. What happened was my sister was driving the car, and out of nowhere, without asking or implying, the kid pulled out a joint and lit it. I don't know how, but there were leaves all over the place around where he sat, probably from a bag that he didn't close properly or tore or something. My sister got angry, but from the way she yell-*ahem* talked about it on the way to the tattoo parlor, it sounds like she's completely fine with it. She did have the courage to drop him off at his friend's house instead of taking him to the destination, but by then it was too late. The febreeze did little to stop the smell. It still reeked. There was no "new car" scent remaining. Also, although smells might fade, the remnants can still be pretty annoying and strong in the right conditions. Again, since scent can stir up very strong memories, I want it completely gone. What's tolerable for most people will annoy me to no end. Breathing in remnants of smoke also gives me an empty feeling, even if I don't recognize the smell that usually goes along with it. As for getting caught, the amount of leaves that were in the car was enough for a joint, according to what some people have told me in their advice regarding this issue. I had little time to get to class, and the amount scattered over the floor could not be swept away quickly enough. I covered it up before I went to class to avoid any problems. My fear was that I could have gotten pulled over or gotten in an accident or something and a part of my life could have been ruined by this kid's actions. As for the ownership of the car. I'm going to pay the insurance on it for as long as I have it, and will pay back my dad as soon as I begin making enough money to do so. My sister gets to use the car because the endless **edited**ing from her isn't worth it to the rest of the family. She's going to get a new car of her own, but because of how poorly she treats the things we own, especially our cars, I'll bribe her into taking this one so I can get me a nice older car, save my parents some money, and maybe get to enjoy an actual manual shift car for once. I have the 2.0 L engine. The 2.3 isn't much of an improvement over it anyway. He'res what I plan to do about the kid. I got his phone number by taking my sister's phone when we stopped at a gas station. She has two Mikes on the phone and I could only take one of the numbers, but looking through the yearbook and going online will single out the one I need. I'm going to go to his house and make a deal with him. I wont take him to the police because it's not worth the trouble or the extra **edited**ing I will get from my sister. I will make him the offer to pay for a steam cleaning of the car, and will make him sign a document admitting to having smoked weed in my car without anyone's permission and maybe get the signing on video to avoid any trouble with a notary. If, during the cleaning, somebody finds a trace of weed and decides to report it, that signed document and video will be my evidence. If I don't get any trouble in the next few weeks, I'll tear up the document and give it to him. If he refuses to pay for a cleaning, I'll be sure smoking in my car will be the biggest mistake he's ever made (provided I can find evidence against him). The operation begins as soon as I can get my hands on that second phone number. -------------

What am I supposed to do if someone does find a significant amount of weed or identifies the smell and reports it? Saying it's not mine wont do crap without a witness. I'm taking no risks. A signed document with proof of him signing it is the only way I can have evidence now incase something goes bad. As far as I know, my sister cares more for her friends than the well being of her family. This kid used to be her boyfriend and she would be the only witness. EDIT: I'm trying to do this now with the least amount of trouble. She holds grudges like crazy and has insane and lasting tantrums, so there's no telling what would happen in the next 20 days if I got her ex-boyfriend arrested. It's a delicate situation. The only thing more I want to say about my sister is that our parents and I cannot wait until she leaves for college in 20 days, and could kill to bring that date closer. -------------

He's a very soft spoken person that's easily intimidated. When I first met him, he was very nervous to be around me. I will use it to my advantage. I know exactly what to say to get him to sign, the only threat being that I will go to more powerful people to get what I need out of him if he does not comply. I will offer him compassion, by letting him know that other people would threaten physical harm instead for doing such a thing. I will also let him know that refusing to take my propsition can destroy his relationship with my sister and other people. -------------

Hell yeah. What if Tolgak were to get pulled over? Then his life would be ruined.
#1, there ALOT that cop can do... #2, if a cop smells weed in your car, and you give him an excuse for why you're not responsible, I am sure he will not believe you... I'd confront this kid about what happened, and if he doesn't agree to your terms, I'd get the cops involved. Otherwise, you'll probably be stressing all day and night about getting pulled over until the scent goes away. I really don't think you're going overboard. Its more than just your car smells; this kid had no respect for you, your possessions, or your sister. -------------

And even if the cop smelled the pot and knew pot had been smoked in the vehicle, but he can't prove it, he still may try to write you up for anything he can find against you. -------------

I talked to the kid today. He told me that there were multiple people in the car, that it wasn't him, and that one of them asked and my sister allowed it. I don't know what to believe anymore. I believe it was him because of my sister's initial reaction when I found out yesterday and his reaction this morning. He told me he was trying to recall who was in the car last night. Until I have names, I'm holding him responsible, as the first thing I learned about that night was that it was just him and my sister. It will be up to him the rest of the people in the car to split up the bill if they were even there. -------------

First, the smell wont be that hard to get rid of. If you have it professionally cleaned then not only will the pot smell be gone forever, but so will the new car smell. You'll be left with a car that just smells like an older/cleaner car. My advice is to go at it and vacuum the heck out of your car to make sure there are no more leaves ANYWHERE and then find an air freshener you like and stick it in there. Otherwise heed everyone else's advice and roll down the windows and let the thing air out. I can't tell you how many customers cars I've worked on that have had pot hidden in the center console or glove box and simply vacuuming up the fallen leaves have gotten rid of 85% of the smell. As for what to believe, confront your sister and tell her that you talked with Mike and that he said she had allowed the smoking. Now you no longer believe her and will go to your own parents with the fact that your sister put herself in a situation where she was around drugs and you also have a witness that claims she was perfectly okay with it. The car will be fully yours at that point, I'm sure. Tell Mike that you don't care whomever else was in the car at the time; that his name was the only one mentioned by your sister. He can pay for the initial costs and then it's up to him to collect on the money owed to him at that point by anyone else present that evening. As for what an officer can do if he simply smells something, well he can take apart your whole car until he does find something. Whether he does come across something you shouldn't have or not, he's not obligated to put that car back together nor place the contents back inside. Essentially, he can make your day miserable just based on what he perceives to smell. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

She's not butch or fat, just a wider profile. The smell of pot repulses me. My sister just found out I called him. She took my phone and was trying to break it as I was pulling it away from her. She made sure to take my keys before she confronted me about it, so I've gotta take those back from her ASAP. She's plotting her revenge right now, I know it. So I've gotta be quick in the next few hours to secure both sets of keys to the car and any of my valuables. She's thrown away and destroyed some of my important things in revenge for lesser problems, like finishing the carrot cake. I'm not joking at all about that. She doesn't realize the crap she's going to bring to herself if she does follow through with anything. I wont do anything either. Just by doing one small thing, she's going to screw her self over with my parents, which is going to bring deeper problems for her that wont even involve me. I can't wait until she leaves for college. -------------

I got my keys back soon after I posted that last post and left the house before she could take the car. Upon returning, everything seemed in place. The car is in the garage because she never goes in there. So even if she comes back, she wont know the car is here unless she knows I'm home. Until I get the keys she has, I'll be taking measures like this. I can't get a hold of the kid; I bet he's refusing to answer. He tells me that he has no money. I know he smokes often so I told him that if he has enough money to buy pot, he's got enough money to cover my cleaning. If he doesn't pick up soon, I'm taking it farther. I've been driving all day with the windows down, using febreeze and other suggested methods to get the smell out. It's still as strong as it was when I first smelled it. Also, while retrieving my sun shield from the rear seat, I noticed a fraction of a footprint on my arm rest. I cleaned it as much as I could and there's a stain. There is also some mud and dirt on the backsides of the front seats. There are a few stains scattered throughout the car. Obviously her friends don't give a crap about the car, whether they've been told that it was mine or my sister's. My sister yells about her loss of respect for me for defending my property when none of her "friends" have any respect for her. She also used the "It's not FAAAAAIIIIRRRRRR" argument that she's been saying since she was 4. I don't understand how fairness can even be involved in such a situation. If the car is why she's complaining about fairness, I'll give it to her and buy me a nice used one for a couple grand. Manual, so I can enjoy it a bit more. That way she can't complain that I'm being treated better than her, if that's her issue. -------------

Alright, first of all, nobody smokes leaves. Leaves don't get you high. Buds get you high. If there are leaves in your car, it's probably not weed unless the kid grows it and for some reason had clippings with him, but that's not probable at all. I think it's fine that you're upset that he smoked in your car without permission, but you're not going to get in any trouble at all. Your car will air out in a day or two, just drive around with the windows open for a few minutes and it'll be fine. The smell of weed doesn't stick like tobacco does. Also, telling his parents is really immature. Be a man and do it face to face. It' really not worth hitting him or anything though. Getting in a fight about something so trivial is ridiculous. I understand if he like banged your sister, you might beat him up, but smoking a little weed in your car is nothing.

Jesus, this is a huge overreaction. I have smoked cigars, not gas station cigarillos, but handmade premium cigars in my truck and the smell goes away if you air out your car for a day or two. Furbrese does nothing, just makes it smell like pot and perfume. ------------- [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/anthonymartinez/402cdjo-1.gif"> |

I didn't know what you would call it. It was all pot, I know what it looks like. I called them leaves because that's what I thought they actually were. I got him on the phone. I will confront him in person if he doesn't respond, and I need to do it anyway. I would never fight a kid over such a thing. That takes me to a level lower than his. Going to his parents isn't immature. If he refuses to do what I need him to so we can get this over with, going to his parents will get it done without getting into legal matters. Threatening to tell his parents about his usage is a good way of building up pressure.
The smell doesn't go away, you get used to it. The problem is that any hint of smoke annoys the hell out of me. I'm Turkish. Though my parents don't smoke, all their friends do because it's very common among Turkish people. I know the way each one handles it and even with the guy that rarely smokes in his car with the windows open, who runs an air freshener and airs out his car because his wife is annoyed by it, I can still sense the smoke. When we have guests, sometimes they want to smoke. We let them do it in the patio, which is (obviously) always getting aired out and is exposed to the sun in the first half of every day. I still get a whiff of the smell every time I sit in the cushioned seats we have. It bothers me, and now that kind of smell is following me everywhere in my car. -------------

i get nasty industrial sludge all over my car and can get it and the smell out with carpet shampoo.
go get the shampoo they use in steem cleaners. split it (i think its 25% cleaner 75% water) spray it all over the seats, carpet, and head liner. then scrub and use a wet dry vac to clean it up. same stuff works well on vynal of the doors and dashpad. then windex the windows and pick up an air freshiner from yankee candle(kinda fruity but stick it under the seat so your friends dont see) NOTE: the cheap air freshiners you buy at walmart can attract aints... i found out the hard way with my cutlass. dont let your sister drive the car anymore. IMO if your not responsable enough to pay for the car and insurance your not responsable enough to drive... ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

Tolga bought a new car. A very nice NEW car. I'd be uptight too. Honestly, i'd be uber-pissed if someone put a stain in my upholstery. Plus, new car smell is great. That's half the fun of buying a new car! He ruined it. I think he should pay. Although, i think you should make him physically clean the inside of your car until the odor is gone. That punishment fits a little better, in my opinion. No need to get the kid in serious trouble. I also think you should make your sister help. If she refuses, threaten to tell your parents. Make an example. What they did was very disrespectful. You let your sister borrow your brand new car, and she and her friend messed it up. That's just plain disrespectful. ------------- X |

Black lights have already been ordered. I can't make this guy do any physical labour to clean the car, and my sister will just half-ass it and tell me it's as clean as it needs to be. If I told my parents, there'd be no telling what she'd do to get back at me. Even if she would get in trouble in the end, things like my laptop and my paintball guns would be too expensive to replace if she goes that far. I'd clean it myself, but I know some of this crap will never get out without taking it to a place that specializes in cleaning cars. It's 3 hours and $60 to get the inside of the car detailed. Doing it myself will take much longer, I'll have to spend just as much money certain things to clean it, and it still wont be as good as it can be if done professionally. And if you want to know about my sister's sense of honor and respect. Besides lying to me about most of the situation, she's been calling me a *intercoursing* *gay person* (because we all know that it's appropriate in any situation to call a person you don't like a *gay person*), telling me she's lost all respect for me (had none to begin with if she's been acting this way towards me for her entire life), and been threatening to invite her friends to hotbox in my car every night until she leaves. All this crap is among other recent unruliness, like telling our parents not to come to her graduation; yelling "I hope it kills you" to my mom, who's developing arthritis and is getting sicker as we speak; calling me an asshole and a bad brother for going to a private school, because now she has to resort to a public school (like having failing grades every year of school in the most basic of classes, and making her existence the most stressful thing ever to myparents makes her deserve to go to a more expensive school [that doesn't have any specialty or reputation that would make it worth it]). I try to see her perspective on a lot of these things. I try to see why she would be angry at me for recieving money from my parents to help feed my hobbies, when she doesn't get money for more clothing (even after repeated lecturing from my dad that he would rather give money to her to DO things rather than to HAVE things). I try to see why she would be angry at my parents for wanting borrowed money back (after she started working and making her own money). Why she finds reasons to complain and yell at me while I'm doing a favor for her and still expects me to complete the favor. Why she still sticks to her "friends" that have disrespected her and left her behind so many times before. Why she looks at every reason to blame us for any mistakes she's made. I get it, I'm the older kid. She's jealous of me because it seemed my parents treated me better than her all the time. In fact, they did everything equally. Because of the personality she developed, in the past two years my parents have treated me better than they treat her. They trust me more than they trust her. My parents always tell me when I get the better treatment these days. They're honest enough to say that both of us have been treated equally up until a few years ago. So I don't see how her traits developed. It could be an order of birth issue. Supposedly (and I can affirm this with other people) last-borns are always the ones that try to get spoiled and do drastic things to get attention. To summerize everything I've read about birth order, they usually end up as stubborn jackasses who want everything at any cost. Yes, I realize that there's more substance about my sister in this post but the car. She's the biggest part of this problem now. Trying to understand her out loud and in public is the easiest way to do it. -------------

Will do. Might as well give you a teaser of what might be to come. Too bad a lot of the interesting things have passed; like getting denied from UCF and many other schools and blaming it on everybody. She told me, for the 5000th time, "it's not fair." What wasn't fair about it? The fact that I got accepted to UCF and she didn't. She couldn't tell me why, she just said she deserved it more than I did. More "it's not fair" complaints from the past. The carrot cake incidents. Every week or so, mom would buy a small cake to keep in the fridge to be ready for her friends if she ever had some over for tea or something. Often it was also to have a dessert ready in case we craved something sweet. Carrot cake was the type we had the most. One day, she started attacking me and scratching me because I had the last slice of cake. Ok... this was like the fifth time it happened so far, but I'd never gotten such a violent reaction. I can't help it. When there's 1 cm left of a small rectangular cake, you can't help but take all of that last piece. It doesn't matter to her who ate the most, just that she has the last bite. After the onslaught was over, her rage wasn't finished. Recently, from money given to me after getting circumsized (I had an Islamic version of a Bris, it happens at 8), I'd bought a $100 lego set. I had it completed and was planning on playing with the set before I took it down to create new things. When she had her first tantrum, it was at a park and we were just leaving. She was in a different car and got home first. She headed for the first set, and knowing that I just spent a ton of money on it, started dismantling it and throwing the pieces in a garbage can and scattered the rest all over the house. The rest of the day, any time she saw me, she started screaming at and striking me. As a result, she started hiding the food she didn't want me to eat. That meant any "junk food". She does it to this day, even with food I bought for going on road trips and taking to paintball and stuff. -------------

No offense dude, but your parents need to get their act together- or rather, they needed to many years ago. There's no excuse for a child (and she sounds very much still a child) to behave like that with tolerance from the parents...

They did everything they could. As much as we've been disciplined in the past, she has never changed. Her mentality that everything has to be "fair" makes her immediately disregard any disciplining. She doesn't realize that anything is her fault, and she just thinks of punishment as something she never deserves. Both of us once got grounded for three weeks because she started attacking me in the beginning of the day and kept going. At the end of the day, I finally lost my patience and punched her in the face. I was about 10 at the time. I didn't want to hurt her, just wanted to back her off a bit, so it was a light hit. Still, quite a bit of blood came out. My parents took away everything from us. All electronics, all toys, all privilages. She layed low for that entire three weeks. The day we got our stuff back, she was back to being a pain in the ass for everybody. It wasn't long before she had an outrage like that again. All she took out of that punishment was "don't push it to the point where he hits you." She complained that it was not fair, but she didn't realize the only reason I hit her was to defend myself from her constant attacks. To her, It was all my fault. She didn't think it was right for me to defend myself from what she was dishing out. -------------

I think the whole situation is your fault. If your sister couldn't be trusted to drive your nice, new car, why did you let her drive it?
Yes, your sister's friend smoked pot in the car, but I would place that blame on your sister. Not many people will just spark up a joint in someone's car who doesn't allow it. Your sister had something to do with it. Not only that, but snitching some kid out to the police is just an asshole move. Even if you don't like cops, it's not the right thing to do. If you really want revenge, figure out some other method. Getting the police involved in something like this would be fairly immature on your part. You can't get arrested for having a lingering smell of pot in your car, so long as there is no pot/paraphenalia in your car. Vaccuum it out, and drive around with the windows down for a bit, and it will go away. I don't know any way that the car's "value decreased" or the "car is ruined" just because there is a smell inside that isn't exactly hard to get rid of. I'm not saying that what the kid did was right, but what I am saying is that it sounds like you're overreacting. -------------

I had no choice but to let her use the car. We had to give her the illusion that it was a shared car otherwise we'd be in a world of crap, especially me. The things she does when "it's not fair" are not worth dealing with, so we let her use the car. Wanting to get the police involved was an overreaction, but I don't want to spend my money and my time to fix a problem that a stranger caused. If it takes going to higher authorities to remove all odor and all the dirt brought into the car, then I'll do it. I shouldn't be punished because someone thought it was alright to do something like that in my car. Smoke in a car does ruin a resale value, and cars do retain such smells for a long time. The smell doesn't go away by airing a car out, the people who use it get used to it. Anyone I've known who's tried to sell a car has a lot harder time doing it if it has been smoked in. If I thought the smell could go away, then I wouldn't bother with it. But it sounds like some of you think I should just leave this kid alone and have his actions go unnoticed. Growing balls and growing up means doing something about a problem, not getting over it. I don't intend to sit down and let some punk's disrespect beat me. -------------

You're sister needs an evaluation. Mine's a spoinled brat and exibits many of the same traits, long ago she figured out that if she's a big enough pain in the ass, people would rather roll over than deal with it. She did the food hiding thing as a child, and grew out of it. She plays the "unfair card" all the time. Like, when I graduated in 05, my parents let her drop out. She didnt have a job until last January, and has shown little interest in getting her drivers license, which is fortunat for me, since god forbid she drive the same car i did when i learned to drive, i'll be back to driving the beater while she gets the newer car with stuff like airbags and anitlock brakes. Even when she works, she still gets to mooch off my parents all the time. She does absolutly jack crap for a year and a half after highschool, if I'm unemoployed for any length of time(even like now, where I've had enough money saved to live comfortable if frugally for months) they threaten to kick me out of the house. Your sister should have at least grown out of this or calmed the hell down over the years. It sounds like she needs meds and/or an asskicking. Get your keys back if you need to physically remove them from her person. If she wants to act like a mental patient, treat her like one. Honest to god, I'd have maced your sister by now. Invest in locks, dont let her near anything she can break. I wouldnt reccomend breaking her stuff right back, but maybe she needs to be on the recieving end of that kind of crap for once in her life. One or both of you need to get the hell out of that house right now. |
