Every time I saw the Piracy forum on here, I could have sworn it said Privacy which got me thinking...
A few weeks ago, a close family friend moved out (he had been staying with us for a few years) And he couldn't bring all his stuff with so he left his computer stuff. I, myself have only gone into his room to get on the internet.
Well, another friend was looking through his stuff and found a flash drive with some pretty personal and disturbing things on it about our family friend.
I hate any form of invasion of Privacy. everything in my room is in one section, and you're not allowed to even walk up to the light switch without my say so. I hate it when someone even looks in my room without my permission. I'm not hiding anything major really, I just hate you going through my stuff. I personally already knew What was on the flash drive because I knew the family friend very well but I still didn't look when everyone else was. Because I think it's so wrong to even think about looking through someone's stuff.
What do you think? Do you not care what others think and do you snoop around? Do you usually stay clear unless you have to snoop? Or are you like me, and no matter the causes you think it's wrong to look through someone's things?

It bothers me to the point of tears when people come into my room without my permission.

Thankfully, my privacy was fairly well protected. I do have an issue with my brother walking into my room and stealing my things because he wants it.

Shaymer Thankfully, my privacy was fairly well protected. I do have an issue with my brother walking into my room and stealing my things because he wants it. This is something that I had to put up with until I moved and this really pissed me off. It wasn't an issue of privacy, it was an issue of having things and not having things. I remember way back when, he erased a Pokemon file of mine that had over a thirty hours on it (or thereabout. I'm not entirely sure anymore, but it was a significant amount of time, anyway) and I decided that I had had enough. I took all of his Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games, hid them in my room and told him and my parents that he would not get them back until I had received money for my loss. I demanded something under minimum wage for the time I put in (which, given this happened in Pennsylvania and it was many years ago, wasn't that much, at least by today's standards) and my parents were not happy, but I did eventually get it from them, since he, of course, didn't have the money. It didn't ever change his behavior and I don't remember now what I ever did with the money, but I have to say that it felt pretty good standing up for myself.

I threw my brother out of my room the last time I caught him in the act of stealing from me. He is like 6' 2" and 200 pounds. I was very angry.

I have a huge problem with having NO privacy... Since about a year after we moved into our current house (so since about the age of 11) I have not had a door on my room because my sister thought I had tried to lock her out of our room(when the door just jammed) and busted the door down, destoying the hinge and the door (the door was hollow). So my TWIN brother and his friends always come into my room to look out my window, because it has a good view of the drive way... Now, I'd be fine that they did it quietly, and didn't bother me, I really would, but they have a tendency to knock my bed off it's risers, and just leave. I also have to stand in the corner of my room to get dressed, because you have to walk right past my room to get to my brother's. It also irks me that I get stuff said to me when I come upstairs after a shower to get dressed while in my towel, because you can see the hallway from my brother's room. Until I did that one night with about 10 of my brother's friends here, I did not truly understand how immature they are...

Matasoga I remember way back when, he erased a Pokemon file of mine that had over a thirty hours on it (or thereabout. I'm not entirely sure anymore, but it was a significant amount of time, anyway) Thats punishable by death in my house. Luckily my brother knows better... But yeah, I hate when anyone goes into my room too. Even though theft isn't a concern, breaking things is.

No one steals anything in my house because none of us like hour long lectures and push ups... But, my brother and his little friends used to love causing havoc and they used to break things all the time. And for me, it's not about you stealing or breaking things, it's just that it's my room and my stuff and you shouldn't be allowed to go through it without my permission.

I absolutely cannot stand blatant invasions of privacy. I mean, I get it if you stumble upon something private by accident, so long as you weren't somewhere you're not supposed to be. It happens. But snooping around is just unacceptable in my book.
I had a very overprotective mother and I remember, when I got an e-mail address for the first time, I found out later that she would go in and read all my e-mails. I think that was the most infuriated I'd ever been regarding privacy because that was NOT okay. There were things in there that she had no right to see.
People just need to learn to mind their own business.

I'm on the fence about the whole 'privacy' issue. Personally, I believe that if you're living with parents or other legal guardians, there's a certain set of guidelines they should be able to expect from you. Many times they give you a level of privacy, sure, but they don't really have to, as it's their house and they can and should be able to do whatever they want. I believe very firmly in the whole 'my house, my rules' and 'if you don't like it, take the door' lines of thinking because it's plain fact. Sure, if you're paying rent and actually contributing to the household then you can expect a little more, but until that happens I honestly don't believe you have much of a voice on the matter. At that stage it's up to the parents' discretion as to how to lay down their guidelines for how things are going to go.

But, I don't care.I listen to his dumb lectures and do my chores. He should repay me with privacy. I'm very touchy on the matter and think it's inexcusable no matter what.

But why, though? If they worked hard to get where they are, and you're living under their care, why should you be entitled to anything?
