What in the fuck. tl;dr vent inside, feel free to share your own

So. My parents are at Disney for the week. Anniversary. Yay.
Anyway, since they've been gone both my sisters have stockpiled dishes in the sink. Ew. I left a note asking them to take care of it because, y'know, it's nasty, but also because it'll probably attract ants like we've had in the past.
I wake up to find that the note, on the sink full of dishes, is gone, the dishes remain of course. But also my computer has been shut off, and my mouse's USB stick is missing.
....um. What?
So I ask both my sisters if they have seen it. They both say no. I doubt my little sister would do it, this sounds like the super trained-by-my-mother passive aggressiveness of my older sister.
So I call her phone several times, as she's out, and she doesn't pick up. Figures. I knew she wouldn't anyway.
So I say fuck it. I go up to her room and look on her desk. No USB stick. But, I do find something else. A shitload of Post-It notes, all stuck to each other. Well that's odd. I look at what is written on the only one I can see. "I'm taking your shitty graduation present as a sign that I should move far away from you."
What in the fuck?
My sister graduated from college this month. She received pearl earrings and a pearl necklace from my parents. She later confided to me that she is not, nor has she ever been, interested in jewelery. Oh. And now I see this stack of post it notes, which I assume all say sentiments like that. There was one other within plain sight that said in all caps and underlined "I'M SELLING IT."
So now I'm pissed. One because I know it's her who acted like a 5 year old and stole something I need to use part of my computer and is now lying about it, but also because she's apparently completely not appreciative of the sentiment/$$$ that went into the gift she received, but instead of talking to my parents and saying "hey I appreciate the thought but I'm not sure a gift like this is much use to me, do you think we could exchange it for something else?" (my mother told her if she didn't like the gift she could do just that, though I'm sure she was thinking in terms of jewelery), she is apparently "taking it as a sign that she should move far away?" What the fuck ever you ungrateful twerp. Our parents don't owe you shit, they paid for your college education, and now I hope you have a ton of fun repaying the federal loans.
Grrr. If you can't tell, she's the kind of person who says that they hate where they're from solely because it's where they're from. She's got this grand plans to move to Britain, but you'll excuse me if my cynical nature predicts that will never happen.
Blah. Needed to vent. Certainly not going to tell my parents about the stupid notes, but I had to tell somebody. Anyway I just sent her a text telling her I'm going to start looking for the USB stick in her room in 15 minutes. Hopefully I'll hear back from her. :)
How's about you guys?
