So, it's been noted several times by everyone from my girlfriend to my coworkers to my roommate's friends, that I am incredibly possessive/defensive of my PS3. This only come back into the light lately because I have to move in a week and a few friends offered to help me pack and they just so happened to be the same friends who helped me move a few months ago and didn't listen to me in the slightest when I told them to not touch my PS3.
They revoked their offer after that, which doesn't really matter cause someone else already told me that they would help me move. But when revoking their offer, they told me that I needed to get over myself, because someone else touching my console won't be the end of the world.
Which has me wondering: Am I the only one like this with their console(s) or no?
EDIT: Because I feel like there needs to be more background behind my comment to them. There's a lot of lingering resentment on my part from the last time they helped me move, because I was jerked around by our school's housing department and thus, wasn't completely packed and ready when I was finally cleared to move. So instead of just letting me pack like the initial plan had been, they speed packed all of my crap and several months later, I'm still missing very vital things, like my nine foot charger cable for my PS3 controller, my 4th gen iPod cable, one of my two ethernet cables and for a week, my HDMI cable that goes from my TV to my PS3, but that was brought to my by them with very obvious chew marks in it, like they had been using it and their cat got to it.
So I honestly don't trust them, but since they're also my co-workers, I went for the asshole comment that will get forgotten in a week, instead of the outright truth that will linger and could eventually get me fired since they have seniority at our workplace. I need my job more than I need them aware that I don't 100% trust them.
Yes, it was dickish, I am aware.
I told them I was glad for the offer, but also warned them that if they touched my PS3 again, I was going to hack off their hands.
