I swear it's true.
This dramatic story started about 2 weeks ago, when I added the "Greatest Hits"-cd to my playlist (the cd belongs to my gradma). I did not do this because I like people with hairdo's worse than my dog's singing smarmy love songs at me, but I swear it works better than an electric fence would. I'm sure that everyone who does not live alone knows the phenomenon of famliy members walking into your room at the most inopportune times, sitting down next to you and start talking without saying anything. This gets on my nerves a lot, so I started playing weird music to get rid of unwanted guests. The only problem was that my family has different musical tastes, so eg. rap would get rid of my parents, but not of my little sister, frank zappa wouldn't make my dad go, and katie melua (apart from nearly making me throw up) would make my mom stay.
But now, as soon as I hear someone coming up the stairs to my room, I start up Abba. I'm able to stand it about 10 minutes, which is 9.5 minutes more than the average person I know can stand it.
So far my brilliant strategy. But I seem to have cursed myself when I added it to my playlist. Everywhere I go, there's Abba playing. I walk into a bar, they're playing "SOS". We're stuck in a traffic jam, the radio starts playing "Take a chance on me", and so on. I am seriously hoping this is not a general trend.
But for now, I guess I'll have to be prepared for "Honey Honey" blasting out at me as soon as I round the next corner... *sigh* 😕

Angie - Wouldn't it be much simpler to simply tell them (those family members who come into your room without asking) that you would rather be alone right now, and ask them to ask if they can come in next time?
Right now I'm listening to Bonnie Tyler-Total eclipse of the heart. I'm wondering how low I can get... let's make this an experiment. Any suggestions? I think "living next door to Alice" by Smokie might be next on my playlist 😏
