So my dog peed on the couch today. We always have a covering it over it so no big deal. It was only a little bit anyway so I just took the covering off and through it in the wash.
My brother comes home and says the spot on the couch should cleaned too. I didn't really see the need since I didn't see anything there and there wasn't even a whole lot of pee anyway, but after a little debate I agreed to give it a wipe with warm water and Lycol. l No big deal.
But even after that, he still refuses to sit there! I ask him why and he's like "I never sit on it without a covering. I never did" Why not?? And why were you so determined to have it cleaned if you weren't going to sit there anyway?? He just says "Shut up." and doesn't answer me.
He is often like this. Just keeps secrets for seemingly no reason. Like one time when he eventually did tell me something he was reluctant to... I still have no idea why.
We were making pizza. He had an almost full bag of sugar in the cupboard. But he refused to use it. He got new bag and told me to use that. I asked him why but he didn't tell me. Without thinking I later used the old sugar. And I'm like "whoops I used the old sugar by mistake." He freaks out and says we gotta start over. I told him I am not starting over unless he tells me what's wrong with the sugar. He says he saw bugs crawling around in it. That's gross. Makes sense. But why didn't he tell me that earlier??
Of course, I don't expect you to have the answers. You don't know him. But I am just annoyed and felt like sharing. Share any comments or theory's you have, and stories of your annoying siblings if you have any.
Honestly though, I love my brother. He is lot of fun to be with most of the time, and I would be very lonely without him. But sometimes he just makes me so mad! I don't get it at all!

Well I don't quite understand your brother.
But! I can kinda understand the couch thing. : o
Sometimes when someone or something gets; like say, a chair dirty, as in poo or pee or a big dead bug, or rotten food on it. ( speaking for myself here. : s )
even if it gets cleaned up I still wouldn't sit on it for a while.
Idk, it just takes time for my brain to say," it's clean." : s

I'm pretty sure he's just the type who feels he really shouldn't have to explain himself. To him, the reasons he does things probably makes so much sense that he doesn't understand why you need to ask him why, because he believes it's obvious, even if it isn't to anyone else.
With the couch thing, I honestly wouldn't have wanted to sit there either. xD It's good that you cleaned it, he probably wanted to make sure no pee was left in the couch or anything, it could make the cushion smell or cause damage (yeah it wasn't a whole lot, but it's better to be safe than sorry). But even if something is "clean", I still don't like the idea of using it if I know why it got dirty in the first place. Pee isn't exactly something I'm comfortable with, so I would have stayed away from it too. xD And if he always liked having the cover on it anyway, that's probably another contributing factor. To me, having the cover go through the wash is a better "clean" than just you wiping down the cushion, so that's probably how he sees it as well.
The sugar thing on the other hand isn't as "obvious". While sitting where pee was, even if it was wiped, can be a bit understandable, you had no knowledge of bugs being in that sugar. That's something he actually should have told you, not just treat it as if you should just listen to his word. In that situation he basically wanted you to go by what he said and not question it, which isn't really fair. If you knew the reason why you wouldn't have needed to ask anyway, he could have easily said it was because of the bugs. So that was a bit.. weird.
But like I said earlier, in his head he knows he's right about something, or he wants things done a a certain way, but he wont explain any of it because he probably feels like he doesn't have to. It's a silly mentality, but it's one many people have. I understand your frustrations, it's hard working with people who wont tell you "why". xD
