I definitely did #1 & #2 to my parents when I was a teenager. In fact it was an unhappy compromise for them to be locked in their room when I was having a party - I'd have much rather they went and sat out in the parking lot!

As for #3... Don't you find that that pretty much *is* the way the world is going though? I'm not allowed to be mean to *anyone* anymore. As soon as I express my dislike or dosapproval of someone, *I* turn into the bad guy, as if it's my fault they smell/are stupid/have objectionable views/are financially insolvent/whatever.

Hmph. Grumpy now.
