He's a grown man with a kid and a divorce under his belt. Lives back with our parents and treats women like disposable sex toys. His humor is quite low including burping, farting, smearing out disgusting things on others and just being a big child at times.

Today he just pissed me off so badly by acting like a complete retard during dinner. He was amused and thought it was funny getting me angry, so the more I told him to back off and act normal, the more he laughed and tried to annoy me. Until I exploded and our mother had to intervene to keep the peace. Then all of a sudden it's my fault cause I'm the one upset.

How on earth does anyone ever live with someone like that? I cannot communicate with him at all and he's suppose to be family. How does one get it into his thick skull that I don't approve or appreciate him treating me like that, without him laughing it off as "his little brother acting up". There's not a lot of people that can make me violent, he can under 5 minutes. Sometimes I feel like hitting his head against the wall every time he does something stupid, pain and horrible tragedy is the only way he has ever learned something.

LOL, just pretend not to be bothered. Aquas can be quite perverse, the more irritated people get, the more fun it'll be for an aqua. Some of us like pushing buttons for sheer pleasure. I did a lot of that when I was younger, not so much now that I'm almost 30 lol. But I still get a sick pleasure out of doing things that irritates some people. Example, I lived next to a very religious guy at one point & I'd play Tupac, 50 cent, etc just to make him uncomfortable with the lyrics. I don't know why I did it, but I did & it was hilarious to me 😄

I do that pretty much 365 days each year but I have my days where I'm not in the mood for his crap either. Then this happens.. when is he ever going to grow up? He's got a kid but acts like one still, hell my parents are raising his son for him cause he's irresponsible as f*ck.

Well maybe he is using bad humour to escape his life problems. Who knows. But I agree with you, I'd be irritated as well. There's time & place for everything. IDK what more to say but I hope he changes & becomes more considerate of other people's feelings.

Lol.

he sounds gross. I wonder if Justin Timberlake does that with Jessica Biel??

Or if James Dean ever looked into a woman's eyes, and said, "Baby, you ...." (loud noise)

Damn, there goes the come-hither look. Oh lord have mercy...... Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe would have to kick him out of the famous Diner scene.

yeah if he's the irresponsible type all the time, i dont know if there's a cure for that unfortunately.

Unfortunately, you're stuck with a brother who isn't exactly Ronald Reagan types and takes life very seriously. 😢

My brothers are like that too especially my older one......he gets a rise out of annoying the shit out of me. its energy draining and I take it personally when people do it to me because I know he is getting something out of it, He gave me a lift from the city to mums house for christmas and he is the worse driver ever.....but on top of that he will jokingly wobble the steering wheel or try and scare me, and the highway is packed with holiday people and so many crashes happen at this time of year...he knows im scared and he laughes....So I told him If he does it again I will smash his car up, cos its brand new and he knows I will.

My advice is to let him get you so worked up into a violent frenzy and scream right into his face so that your mum is there and can't do anything maybe smash plates in the kitchen.....because he knows what he is doing should feel responsible for the outcome, even though your mum will blame you, he will probably blame himself knowing he pushed you too far....If he smears something on you, really time it well without him knowing and punch him right in face....hes obviously testing to see how far he can get away with his bullshit so let him have it

Suck it up, suck it in & do everything in your being to not have any emotional, physical or literal reaction to his "stunts."

Will this be hard? Hell yeah. It'll be even harder for him to believe b/c he so far has had no reason to believe that he doesn't at all get to you.

If you show him better than you can tell him that he doesn't get to you, he'll stop. He'll probably always be a prick (at least until he grows up), but him actually targeting/bullying you specifically will stop or at least decrease significantly when you stop giving him the attention & reaction he deeply yearns for

You're right. Remember, he's like a child. He acts up & does disgusting things b/c he's justified that the "high" & attention he gets from it is worth while & does something for him. What do you do when a child has a tantrum or wants attention? You ignore them. Works like a charm. And yes this even works on adults
