I own a laptop computer which I use for all of my dealings such as work, internet, communication etc. This is the only computer in my home where I am currently living with my family. Now fully well knowing this I allow everyone to use it whenever i am not busy with it, as long as they ask my permission.
I went out earlier today while leaving my computer at the home. When I come back a few hours later and want to again use it I find my sister on it. Now she had not asked my permission but that annoys me, so I told her I needed to use it and would give her time to finish up what she was doing and give it to me.
I waited 10-15 minutes and she showed no signs of getting off so I said "Ok I need to use it please give it to me". She responds "Why?", I said in return "Its none of your business, its my computer and I need to use it". Her response is "Youre always on it, all the time!"(she was yelling) and I yelled back "Thats because Its mine, I own it and purchased it with my own money". She then yells "Take it you selfish prick" and shoves it into my arms.
Now I allow them to use it whenever I am not busy using it as I said before. I in no way should give them the right to do this, as a matter of fact they, having their own jobs, could easily save up money to purchase their own and do with it as they please. I out of my own generosity allow them to use my property and yet I am constantly called selfish when I dont let them or I want it back, or because I use it a lot.
So do you agree with them? Am I selfish?
