>pokemon cards
*cries* I feel for you
>This has been an issue I've dealt with my entire life. I'd have my pokemon cards on a playing mat in my room, parents barge in and walk right on them despite them being able to walk around it, and I wasn't even in the way. Or other times where they would grab my school work with greasy/chocolate coated hands and get stains all over it. Also they love coughing and sneezing without any attempt to cover their mouths. You will see spit and mucus stains EVERYWHERE in the house. Especially on the shared computer screen, utterly disgusting.
Look…
>I have a lot of collections, and attempt to make models like tanks/planes/warhammer stuff and quite often my parents will "inspect" my room for whatever retarded reason and often break several items. I internally call my dad "The grabbler" he picks up delicate items with his full fist, all fingers perfectly alinged - like a special ed kid grabbing a pencil. As you can imagine, this often BREAKS anything even remotely fragile.
I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I have - personally - no knwn cure against "grabby dad's diamond hands". In fact, me mum would berate me over the opposite, over her perfect alignment of HER immense collection of books she doesn't read or for using HER expensive plates she never uses.
My guess is:
1. Find a bunch of friends. Find someone to toss your collection to - into someone's display case.
2. Go minimalist.
3. Go "Digital" and collect/"data hoard" nice 3D models rather than unique irreplicable porcelain figurines and such.

>>305412Thank you for the suggestions but I can't really do any of those. Friends aren't a possibility, even so I wouldn't trust them. I see stories of betrayal every day on the internet. Minimalism won't work so much as I get a lot of pleasure from my hobbies even if I'm burnt out. I am not a digital fan either.
So far the best thing I've done is keep things hidden away and inside boxes when I'm done. It just really sucks to dedicate a solid 45 minutes to cleaning up every single time I want to do something, I'd much rather have things just left on my desk. I guess it's not the biggest issue. I also have "bait" that it placed in my room if they touch/break it I don't care. Seems to do wonders. Here's a story:
>Buy hunting knife because it looks cool>Sharp and heavy, I think it's supposed to be used on deers or something>Is protected by leather sheath>dad comes in to "inspect" it>uses his grabbler hands to pick it up>Hold it upside down and only holding the sheath>he unbuckles it>knife falls dowm and stabs his foot>He yells at me that It's my fault and I can't be trusted with itA literal looney tunes character. I don't know why he's so retarded. He's also shot himself with fireworks a few times because he thought 5 seconds without it shooting meant the rocket was missing 2 of it's rounds… These people are going to kill themselves one day in the most stupid way immaginable. My great auntie died by running at night time with no lights on, tripped over one of her 100+ pairs of shoes in the hallway and her head slammed into a cast iron spike letter opener. She insisted that running at night without lights on saved power and heating. My genes are tainted

>>305418I have "thingy" suggestions too!
1. Locks for glass cases cost 3$ a piece. Locks like this keep 2 thin pieces off glass shut together. They used locks like these A LOT back in the day here.
2. Try collecting plushies XD
3. Try installing a nice lock-able crate under your bed, I dunno…
4. Attach some toy-like objects to your wooden cheap furniture so your dad could spin some spinners / perss some buttons without really grabbing stuff XD (asuggestion that came up to my mind randomly)

I've got a mentally ill family member that won't stop taking my clothes: they either steal them and put them somewhere else in the house, throw them away or give them to other people. I had to buy a shelf with a lock, stopped it from happening and now I do my own laundry to make sure nothing gets stolen. Mental illness is involved since this happens with other things, but my clothes are what is most often stolen, for whatever reason. Not much else you can do, if you can't get a lock on your door or containers then at least start working towards some shitty apartment you can move into.

>>305424locks for wardrobes look cool, IMO. Homemade gun cabinets that could hold an armoryful of 12ga/20ga/3006/nines :) but that don't have to, which hold cute and adorable stuff instead
No.305462
>>305422I'll look into some more locks, I've got one case that is locked and my most prized things are in there. It just sucks how I have to be so tactical with this, I couldn't even imagine walking into my parents room and breaking the alarm clock, the mirror, and the TV and then just straight up denying it ever happened. Even if they watched me do it. the worst part is that I know it's not pettiness or malice, it's Homer Simpson levels of stupidity. Plushies are nice but not my thing, I'd maybe get one at most. Well I have 5 that are gifts from childhood/work. They are small too so easy to just have them on my shelf.
>>305424Sounds like a nightmare. I have many severely mentally ill family members and they have been an utter blight on my well being. Everything they do is totally irrational and the worst part is that you cannot bargain with them. I'd much rather find myself in a pickle with Latin American gangs or terrorists than a group of nutcases. Sorry you have to deal with that. The apartment thing is a possibility, but my issues aren't big enough to justify that at this stage, especially considering I'd be scared shitless of missing payments on rent and my entire lifestyle would change.

>>305462to put it bluntly, this bad boy holds 2 glass doors together and only costs several bucks.
I should buy a similar lock too just to play around…

>>305478Very good for low level inspectors. Kids and old ladies will get BTFO. It won't stop the dads, the uncles which I've already dubbed as "grabblers" and "tinkerers" The tinkerers are the worst, they see something new and their first instinct is to break it down with some trailer part level reverse engineering but they can never fix it again, which is why these ugly homes have so many broken things. Especially if they have men aged 40+ they just like to tinker

>>305500King dub dubs. I've been wanting an old CRT TV screen to play older games on. I wouldn't want that touched though, however I like your idea on the distraction method, I believe I mentioned this in one of my posts. It's extremely effective. Already have a gun case also, have some prized stuff in there.
Kinda related. I went to the bathroom this morning to see piss and shit ON the toilet seat, and all of our toothbrushes on the ground. This is the type of thing I can't handle, my dad just laughs it off and says you will put toothpaste on the brush anyway so it cleans it…. I'm not crazy rght? I used to keep my toothbrush in a locked cabinet and my entire family would ridicule me for that.

>>305501Look, i _can_imagine_ your dad has something with his head (a leadhead, perhaps?) thats not genetic, but rather, the result of exposure to *something*.
And I have a friend who will probably die of boredoom if left unentertained but I have just told him I am tired of his nagging so screw him. My point is, he would make an obnoxious 'grabber' too so I think I should distance from him back to being an ivory tower guy

>>305505Probably the lead and asbestos. Also being beaten as a child, as much shit as we give the boomers they really had an awful childhood if they grew up poor. He was whipped and caned in school, and that was just the official punishments, often teachers would get more cruel and creative. He also believes everything the idiot box says, NEWS is gospel. He has thrown away my games when I was a child because playing ratchet and clank would have made me a good for nothing gangster apparantly.
Some people cannot function if not given anything to do. My mother is like that. If there's no one to talk to, she talks to herself for hours on end

I keep all my personal belongings in my room and no one enters my room without my approval. And I also made my father cover his disgusting mouth for his nuclear sneezing, it was the most non-indian disgusting shit ever. If your parents don't respect you it might be because you're probably too nice to them, I'd much rather be a manchild than having to put up with certain stuff just because I owe them the beautiful gift of life.
No.308211
>>308190They are in denial too. "Oh he wouldnt do that!" to "Ok so what it's just toys?" As I then show them the retail price of these items they outright deny thats how much they cost. I hate them so much. If I so much as spill a glass of water in their house they freak out and tell me if there's any stains Ill be paying for it.. I could move out, but it would be a very tight budget
>>308191Those uncovered sneezes and coughs that fling out fluid piss me off so much. My dad would do that during the mass hysteria of covid despite him being super in belief about this virus ending the world, but he wouldn't even cover his mouth… sometimes he'd sneeze right in peoples faces and drench them, he denies it happens and people these days are too soft.

No.308214
>>308213Already happened. This was just the recent one, it's typically my own parents breaking things. My dad especially. Let's say we have a rare playing card, he will pick up and scrunch it up in the process. Purposely bend it to "test it" and it will have HEAVY crinkles. He denies its worth anything. He will sneak into my room whilst im at work and inspect/damage my items. I have a lot of stuff sealed and hidden away because of this. I keep bait stuff out for him to meddle with. The worst part is he is just really that stupid, it's not even malicious. Stupid and ignorant, can't explain anything to him. You could show him how a card is selling for 1,000 dollars and he says its a lie and rips the card up to prove it (didn't happen just an example of what hes like).
