Is it normal to dislike people who tell you what to do and boss you around?

I find it extremely irritating when people (namely my family, et alia) tell me what to do, and expect me to do it. If it were advice (or chores), I wouldn't care. However, I didn't ask and it's over (personal) and trivial stuff. I feel like they have no say in the first place, so I get irritated and usually try to tell them (In some nice way, for the most part) to butt out of my business.

Is it normal that I get so annoyed at people who feel like they can control you and tell you what to do?

    Ironically, they are also the same people who don't listen to you when you need their help.

    I always simply respond with a smile and say" Ok, I will take that under advisement. Thank you for your consideration I truly appreciate it."
    Then go about your way. It usually gets the point across and a laugh out of it. It does ruffle feathers at times. ha ha

    I find the phrase "Fuck sake" comes in handy with prying parents.

    I hate such people with a passion. They're also the ones who do a chore here and there to create peer pressure where you look like the asshole who never does shit when all you wanted was to do it later but they force you to do it now.

    Like my sister in lae , never talk to the bitch i avoid holidays, send my husband to go spend time with them and I stay home its more peaceful, so I feel thats mature in my part . I think he should be close tohis family but anyways. I am 40 grown oay my bills went to college, and have to great kids, obivously , I r. what asied them ( woith her brother). She has none and drinks all the time lives in a dump by choice and never finished high scholl by choice. SHE has her nerve to get on me becaseu I had one dirty pan onthe stove one day. When her house is super nasty , my husband doesnt even got to her house and didnt let me use the bathroom one day when we were driving by. I had to go he was like I dont want you to catch somewthing, She has her nerve to tell how to raise my kids when she only sees them maybe 2ice a year, Christmas and Easter. What a loser

    The school/education school i was in (dropped out of now) this guy from my class was kinda like that.. Even though it was not "Go get me that" or W/E.. Infact i ever talked so much with him.

    But once i made a simple comment about something (I was put in a group with him for a project) he told me to "Shut up and stop complaining".

    You usually afterwards think why didn't i say something, but in moments like that you just can't get why you would ever get a reaction like that which was completely un-needed.

    Or in class, almost everyones talking and the teacher is preaching about something and you talk with a buddy.. And suddenly well he turned around and "Shut up"... I instantly thought to myself, who the hell are you to tell me to shut up?... But as i didn't want to spark any problems with him i left it alone.

    On a museum in copenhagen (At the toilets) i was waiting for the second toilet to be free, and this guy (WHO was waiting for the FIRST toilet in line) told me "HEY.. We have a LINE here".. And it was so freaking ignorant and rude, the way he said it... I said "Mmehm, okay?.. That is not relevant as i'm standing here waiting for the SECOND toilet".. After that being said by me the first toilet got available again and he walked in, and i knew i must have put him in his place somehow.

    World would be a better place if people could just keep the negative & smart/bossy stupid comments to themselves.

    - Also to mention this whiny skinny bitch in gymclass.. I was simply holding a volley-ball and i heard this high-pitched "DROP THE BALL YOU RUIN THE RHYTM"... After saying no i won't she said "GIVE ME THE BALL NOW".. And once again i refused.. And it felt so good. So good.
