Is your sibling annoying for no apparent reason?
Discussion
Mine asked me for a memory stick to send me some stuff (8GB of such stuff), wont tell me what it is, but generally with things like this and because he is my younger brother i said no probs... so got a memory stick and he was supposed to send it to me.
Since it was my nice £20 odd pounds titanium memory stick i asked him to be careful.
Apparently he sent it back on wednesday, but not recorded delivery (like i asked) and now the f
ker has gone missing, he has just told me i should send him a new one or should have collected it (£30 round trip to him) and told me its royal mails fault and not his so i should ask them to replace it.
This is as bad as when he asked me to bring my ipod to plug into his car stereo on a road trip and i asked if it was safe as the ipod is not backed up due to changing laptops and he said ok... the stereo link he had was dodgy and caused the ipod to shut down permanently after he plugged it in, all he could say was that it was all my fault and due to it being mine ipod it was my problem.... aaarrrgghhh what a PITA... I had to replace that due to him washing his hands of all responsibilities of it and lost 3000 songs.
He is 30 years old and accepts no responsibility for stuff that he does like this, i can accept an apology and it would be fine, but no, i get blamed for it instead.... us that normal?

Well, if after 30 years of being related you've not learnt...then you never will!! 
On a slightly less similar note - I have 2 sisters, 1 older, 1 younger - both divorced, 1 divorced twice...they are just a pain in the arse with their complaining...
The older one, I invested £25k for her house money and managed to get her a 7% interest rate on a bond (in this climate) and for what thanks? Sweet fa.. next time she can bugger off...

No, because my brother is annoying for very obvious reasons. He's a gap toothed edjit who likes happy hardcore music and the usual drug fueled nonsense that goes with it. He's essentially a chav, despite all my best efforts. He also has ADHD and has, in the past, put a size 12 dent in one of my cars when in a strop. Silly bd.
d.Yup, can arrive at my parents 1 hour late for a meal, even though he lives half and hour away, whereas i have to travel 3 hours yet manage to arrive, early.
It's the small things he does that just wind you up. His wedding is coming up and i can foresee a pile of crap with that. All of which wont be his fault.

I wouldnt mind if he used the word sorry, but hes exempt from that and thinks its someone elses fault.... if i did something like the usb memory stick i would offer to travel at my own expense to drop it off personally if it had got lost in transit, but that is just me.
I am afraid some people are just like that. He probably treats his friends the same (not that that is acceptable either)...Years ago I came incredibly close to beating the living daylights out of my sister and my niece. I had just parked up outside my folks house in my then new vx220, 10 minutes later come out of the house to see 2 chav girls (complete with hoopy ear-rings) standing rather too close on the driveway to my p&j. Turned out to be to my older sister (8 yrs older) and her sprog (now 18 - lives with partner on benefits, left school at the age of 14, now has a baby that has no chance whatsoever)
So yeah my sibling does annoy me. And strangely she can't see why. I mean coming from a family where Dad's an airline pilot, mum's a respected accountant and younger brother is off to become an engineer and leaving that all behind to become a complete smelly chav is surely what everyone does?
Her best bit recently was dating a guy who did 20 years inside for armed robbery. He would have done less but he wasn't a good boy whilst he was inside... We all met him and decided he was too good for her.
Incidentally I did offer to repeatedly kick my niece in the stomach to bring on an abortion, but was turned down. Shame. Its a boy so its going to become a nasty little knife carrying, burberry wearing and probably try to do over my parents house in about 16 years time...

So next time he asks for help/to borrow stuff politely but firmly turn him down. Since it was my nice £20 odd pounds titanium memory stick i asked him to be careful.

When he b
hes about why reference the ipod and the memory stick. That's what you'd do if it were a non-blood relative. Doesn't seem to difficult to me, but then I'm a spoilt only.
Ewan, I think it is quite common for a lone girl to go off the rails.
I have 2 brothers and we are all well educated, polite and generally decent people, however my sister is quite the opposite.
Then there is my friend who is the same. He and his brothers are fine, university educated etc etc, but his sister is completely off the rails.
And my other friend is the same with his sister.
I'm not sure if its something psychological, or maybe just for example the peers of each child, as my brothers, my mates from above and me all went to grammar school, but the sisters went to the local comp.
Just food for thought.

I've a brother & sister, I couldn't get on with either of them any better than I do. My sister is just as sucessful as my brother, shame I prefered cars and engines to politics and medical stuff I have 2 brothers and we are all well educated, polite and generally decent people, however my sister is quite the opposite.

Absolutely trust them & the rest of my family 100% would have no problem letting them stay in my flat or borrow my car I know they'd do the decent thing in any event.So although it might appear the lone female chooses the 'breed for greed' route doesn't typify it. Having said that if you think about it all a woman has to do these days is put her legs by her ears and boom! get paid to live an existance popping out more future crims.

He sounds like a cock. My bro and I have a good relationship and wouldn't do anything like that to each other.
Next time just tell him to feck off.
I second that.Next time just tell him to feck off.
My younger brother pisses me off, but thats because he's got no common sense and pisses everything up the wall. He's really clever in terms of numbers and science stuff but you ask him to do something i.e. grab a screwdriver, he wouldn't think to ask what type or size, just grab anyone.
He went to the same grammar school as me, I was a bit of a bad lad and he was a 'boff'. Anyway, he finishes his AS-levels and does really well, the school offered to put him forward for Oxford or Cambridge Uni. Dozy t
t turns them down because he wants to go to Nottingham, apparently his girlfriend goes there so he wants to aswell. What a bloody waste, but he just doesnt look ahead.I have a brother. Of all the people I know he's the one most likely to become a millionaire. At the same time, he's also the one most likely to go bankrupt.
Yes, he's that sort of bloke.
He's my brother so we're civil to each other but let's just say I'll never
a) Lend him money
or
b) Go out of my way to do him a favour.
He's doing well at the moment so a) isn't likely and we don't speak that much so b) is unlikely aswell. Give it a couple of years though and he'll be on his arse again phoning up for a couple of hundred to keep the taxman at bay
