Seriously my turn to rant and complain.
My uncle's here on vacation for three weeks. He's here because of my cousin's wedding. Five days into his three week vacation, he brought my download quota to 80%. I get 75gb on peak and off. I'm rounding off that he downloaded approximately 120 or 130 (my math's sucks but I don't care I got this bar showing how much I have left). Not only downloading from our house, he goes to my cousin's place (the same one who's getting married) AND downloads from there. He killed 50gb worth of downloads...my cousin's now capped. So my uncle comes back to our place and kills our download quota.
FFS seriously because of stupid cultural traditions. It be rude of me to complain to his face so I told my brother to tell him. He stops but tonight...he killed it. I'm stressing out because I got two papers due soon and I rely heavily on the net to write my papers (no I do not cut and paste, I have to make references sigh). My brother is really pissed off because he pays for the net and it's gone already. He generally doesn't mind me using it as long I don't extensively abuse the quota but my uncle really put him off. I now have to cram 2 papers in a week. Not cool. I can't work at college because the library's small and the comps are never working when I am there. I can't go local library because the locals in there don't understand the meaning of quiet. It's like a barnyard in there, WAY louder in my local library then the street outside.
If you guys don't understand. In my family, elders are to be respected. If they're elders and also guests of the house, you just have to let them do what they want to an extent. My family is being mum about this but I'm not. I already complained and yet nothing can be done about it. I hate my uncle for doing this after he knew I needed the net to study. Thank god he's gone this Sunday and I don't want to see him off nor do I want to travel to the States to visit. You may think I'm whinging over something little and yet there's other things that's not relevant to this.
Sigh I just want to tell my uncle off. I can't speak my native language since I was born here so it sucks. Sometimes I find old traditions and heritages are stupid. They're too rigid...
I'm also having a birthday dinner party later on the weekend. I just hope he's gone out with my relatives. I won't be enjoying it. Sometimes it's hard to forgive...
For people who are thinking if he's downloading porn. No he isn't. He's downloading those god awful Asian song shows that are similar those music award shows like Aria or MTV stuff (those stupid Paris By Night Shows if anyone's curious). That's what I think it is. Then he burns the crap and gives it to my parents and relatives.
