Ambient Abuse

A form of intimidation or psychological abuse, sometimes called Gaslighting. where false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their own memory, perception and quite often, their sanity. The classic example of ambient abuse is to very subtly toy with someone's environment in a way that you know they're sure to notice, but then deny knowing anything about it, and to explain that they "must be imagining things" when they challenge these changes. Doing this on a long term and/or methodical basis (as opposed to the occasional practical joke) with the intent to cause distress and harm would be considered ambient abuse.

A more psychological definition of ambient abuse is "an increasing frequency of systematically withholding factual information from, and/or providing false information to, the victim - having the gradual effect of making them anxious, confused, and less able to trust their own memory and perception.

Your spouse begins telling you things that never really happened. For instance, he says that last week he told you he was going to go to the bar with his buddies this Monday night, but you never remember him telling you that.

Or maybe your boss gets angry because you didn't prepare the report he asked you to. When you remind him that he usually prepares that particular report, he snaps that he told you to take care of it a few days ago because he was too busy. However, you know he never asked you to do so.

Both of these could be considered ambient abuse.

snooze abuse

When two people share a bed, and one has to get up in the morning. Some people tend to repeatedly hit the snooze bar, over and over, disturbing the hell out of the person who doesn't have to get up. This can be from once or twice to dozens of times.

She had to work at 10 AM, set the alarm for FOUR, and hit snooze two dozen times.
I could have strangled her, that's total
snooze abuse.

peroxide abuser

A person who is fake and insecure, has dyed hair, plastic finger nails, way too much make-up, talks too much, uneducated with no regard for the world. Spends lots of money but doesn't earn enough on their own. No sense of style. Chews and pops gum because it's the only way to get attention.

That peroxide abuser thinks the whole world revolves around them. Why can't they learn to build up their self esteem in a useful and creative way?

user and abuser

Someone who is a user and abuser or User/abuser is a person who will use another person, usually in asking favors or special treatment, then purposely or even inadvertently abusing the relationship and thinking they are in the right. Often attributed to drug addicts and alcoholics yet can be a character trait of nearly anyone.

A person who befriends you and begins to ask you for things, like a ride, a cigarette, a couple of dollars etc.
Then one time they ask you for a favor and you cannot follow through because you don't have the time or resources and they belittle you, or get angry at you.
Other kinds of user-abusers will stretch their "Friendship" with you by asking more and more of you until you realize that they are truly abusing the relationship

PETE: "Here comes Fred, he's a friend of mine, we can get a cigarette from him. He's always got cigarettes".
"Hey Fred how about a smoke for me and my pal"?

FRED; "Sorry Pete, I only have a few left"

PETE: "Ohhh, mann, come-on, what about your buds man, we need a smoke man"?

FRED: "Nope, sorry man, that's the way it is now don't be a "user and abuser"

PETE: "Oh, see how you are man, I'm not a "User/abuser", and I told my pal here that you were my friend. We're outa here man"!
