Agreed. When people do that in front of me I don't bother to try and flatter them with what they're hoping for.

I would also like to grr again about my grandparents telling everyone every little damn thing about me. With their damn friend emailing me (and how they got my email in the first place I don't know. Well... yes I do... ), asking me if I wanted any food left over from a party 3 months ago for when my friends come over for movies this saturday. I'm just having 2 or 3 people over for tacos and a movie! The world doesn't need to know about that! I tell them I catch up with a friend, their friends on the other side of the damn country know about it. I have their friends emailing me! And they wonder why I vanish for a year! I like my privacy WITHOUT every person on the planet knowing I went for a drive or might have a friend over 2 weeks from now or have a new job or bought a new dress or saw my father or blah blah blah. My grandfather even looks at everything I've written on Facebook, if I comment on someone elses status, even if he doesn't know them, he'll read it. And the only way he can do that is by going onto my profile and looking at the things I've done and then going around reading everything. He's even commented on my friends statuses after me. AND then he tells people what I've been up to, or ask who so and so is if I have a friend who's a guy. He seems to think it's a joke. And I can't work out how to change it so he can't do that.
