You got off pretty lucky. If I tried to pull that when I was younger I would have gotten a lot worse than an angry push out the door.
You bothered him while he was sleeping, then yelled at him, harassed him, and then you want sympathy for what you got? I am pretty sure you deserved exactly what you got. This isn't a case of accidentally annoying your father, this is a case of you poking the angry bear and then acting like the victim when you got the obvious repercussions.
Perhaps you should install the sims on your laptop instead so that you don't need to go into your dad's bedroom. Or perhaps you should move the computer. But invading somebodies' space while they are sleeping is not acceptable.
And before you go about saying that it is a bad idea to justify a wrong by citing a wrong, that is exactly what you are doing.
Quote:
I laughed at this, because my father does nothing for me. He is lazy, selfish, and takes things that belong to me, such as my iPod. He got increasingly angry, and said 'get out of my f***ing room'. I said 'You're angry? Well, I can get angry too.' He said 'get out of my room'. I mocked him, repeating what he said. This lead to him to scream 'Get out of my room.' whilst throwing his limbs across the bed.
You justify your intentionally rude, problem causing behavior by saying your father is rude to you. That may be true, but that means you can't argue that your actions didn't deserve reprisal, because your actions are a direct reprisal to your father's actions. That is a prime example of the pot calling the kettle black.
If two wrongs don't make a right, then why did you feel the need to bother your father? You could have waited an hour.
