Twitchy? Um, it would make me stabby. Did they borrow you underwear, too?
People are damned inconsiderate.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I gotta say I'm not sure it would occur to me to ask about watching a DVD, if they were in a shared living room or similar arrangement. It's not underwear. (Unless you store your DVDs in your underwear drawer. And if you do I don't want to know.)
After you said something, assuming you did, would be a different matter.

Always Anti-fascist!
They definitely did not respect my privacy, Daniel. I hated living there. And I was only ten minutes late...if I'd been longer would they raid the fridge, too? I think I'm really private because I have to give up so much privacy out of physical necessity...when I have some, I guard it. "What is wrong with your life?/Why you gotta mess with mine?" But it was funny cause they were completely unprepared for my wrath.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, it's not the worst thing in the world. What bugged me was that when I came home and found them watching it, I would have expected something like, "Hey, hope you don't mind," or whatever rather than assuming that, hey, everything in this place is ours to do with what we want.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I once finished off my roommates half bottle of Diet Coke and replaced it with a full bottle when she was away for a long weekend. It pissed her off.
Not even the point that her half bottle would have gone flat seemed to soothe her rage.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Nobody touches my stuff or comes into my home without my permission! Good grief.
If my DVDs or books were out openly in a common area, then I probably wouldn't be bothered, but if a roommate or guest went into my room to get them, I would be angry.
OTOH, getting angry about the sanctity of a half-bottle of flat Diet Coke seems over the top even to me. If I were really looking forward to having my Diet Coke and it wasn't there, I'd be irritated, but you more than replaced it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I had a roommate throw out 11 eggs once. I'd bought a dozen and one broke, messily, on the way home. So I put them in an older container which had a long-past sell by date on it. So I understood her reasoning, but I did wish she'd asked. On the whole she was pretty considerate, though.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
If you go to Marshall's or TJ Maxx or somewhere like that, you can usually get pretty nice sheets for $30, actually...not coton/poly, high thread count!
Ooh, another good idea.
I also found this t-shirt at Threadless: [link]
And maybe while I'm ordering I'll get this one for myself: [link] eta damn, owl t-shirt sold out
Thanks for all your help, y'all.
I only mind if my roomies watch my DVDs if they fuck them up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just bought some really nice 420 thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets at Overstock.com for $35. They're really soft.

I have that shirt! I love it.

Yeah, I'm with Zenkitty. I get twitchy when I come home to find that my landlord's been in to do something without having told me.

I probably wouldn't care about that one, though.
