I am perhaps a little paranoid...

Ok. I live in a house with two older people that are health nuts. They exercise all the time, go on walks, eat healthy and I won't drink anything that doesn't start in "Chocolate Mi--" and refuse to eat anything made out of soy or, basically, anything birds live on. They are always trying to get me to eat right but more importantly EXERCISE. This might just be paranoia but I think they're finding sneaky ways to MAKE me exercise.
I couldn't find the TV remote for 2 weeks and when I did the buttons were really hard to press, like someone was trying to make it harder. I looked inside it and there were pieces of thick paper between the connections so now you have to press real hard to change the channel.
I've only noticed in the last week or two but someone replaced my door hinges with new ones that look suspiciously like spring-loaded mink traps; the handles on all the sink are tightened so much I have to turn as hard as I can to get any water, the couch has gotten really uncomfortable since someone removed half the springs and I'm almost certain the walk from the living room to the refrigerator is longer than it ever used to be and when I GET there, the door was tightened so I have to use both hands to open it.
I'll beat them though. The game is on. I have so many candy bars stockpiled in my room I could live up there until New Years' and I talked to this guy this afternoon who builds mini-refrigerators into furniture.
Am I paranoid or is this normal?
Do you think it's normal?

Sneaky parents you've got.
I enjoy creative writing. ;)
Agreed
One of two things is happening here; 1) This is all "creatvie writing" or 2) You're overweight which is why your friends are trying to get you off the couch.

I'm not sure it's normal. Maybe you're paranoid and maybe they're conspiring to make you healthy. Either way, it's very entertaining. :)
You are awesome. You should try to make everything easy for them. I.E. losen the hinges on their car door to the point where they only have to touch it to make it fall off.

Beware the fake Leo.
Leo, there is someone on here posing as you. They have your name spelled correctly, but failed to realize the numbers at the end of his/her name is what distinguishes you two. The real Leo's number begins with an 8(i think) and has 3 digits. The fake one is posing as gay, and has a 4 digit number starting with the number 1. Good luck to yall, and may God be with you.

Is it normal to fake another poster?

If you keep erasing this, I will keep posting it. We can play this game, and he will get the message. I like Leo, and you will not play him. Also, I will post this in every comments message board he has posted recently. So don't waste my time or yours.

I dont think thats paranoid. you seem to have reason to think so, especially if you dont lead a "healthy" lifestyle and they do. Its probably a game that they play with each other to solidify their bond with each other, and maybe its an invitation to you, so you can have more in common with them? maybe its not really about the health, and more about solidifying friendships. although, im in my 20's and my older relatives who i see twice a year seem to have a habit of telling me how to be healthy and how to live. I use to get mad about it, then i started ignoring them and they stopped. it seems pretty normal to me.
Your getting fat and week lol lazyness is comeing to get you :-P
Excersising Is Fun.
My ass. Add lard to their Chocolate Mi--'s and pour butter into their mouths at night. Retaliate!
