i recently put up two friends for 2 weeks- i paid food, rent, drinks, everything the whole time, my bf drove them around, picked them up from the airport (over an hour away at 6am!) cooked and cleaned for them the whole time.
not once did they offer to do the dishes (we have a dishwasher so its not like it was a hassle for them really) and the only time they ever half hartedly offered to pay for their food in a resturant was once, and it was well after the bill had been paid.
the day they left, they left rubbish in the shower, didnt bother putting their dirty towles in the washing machine or even strip the bed of their used sheets. i cleaned the kitchen,bathroom and toilet daily, it was all such a mess from them, they couldnt even empty the dishwasher!
we dropped them off at the airport, and the thanks we got was a mumbled 'thanks' as we got back in the car.
rude much?
or are we just ocd overly pedantic about living in a tidy apartment, and put too much stress on politness by our guests?
we have a thing about 'the offer' if they had offered to give us money or offered to clean, wed have said no anyways, but its nice to have someone be polite and do the right thing, ya know?
i know im gonna lose a friend over this, ive already sent a few nasty emails about their lack of behaviour.and help-much to their anger i guess. i just need someone else to say im in the right here!![]()
