House guest... Or at least that's what he is called...

Tweet

I got abruptly shocked by a LOUD rattling at the grill to my place. Now I am renting out a room, but I pretty much also run the household... (my landlord is a pretty happy landlord)... I open the door to find my landlords friend who decided to take the offer of my landlord to make a pitstop on his way back to his hometown... In any normal circumstance, I guess I would be fine with it, except that my landlord was sleeping, I was given no early warning that I was going to have house guest... With his luggage... I was basically doing my work in the living room, my things were all on the living room table... My landlords friend, let's call him A, and my landlord L. A bunks on the couch... So naturally I have to do a Miranda Priestly(watch Devil Wears Prada and you'll get my drift) cleanup of the living room space so that A has his 'guest space'... There isn't a spare room, so he bunks in the living room. I basically was the house butler... Ok, maybe I did overeact, after all who am I to complain bout someone coming to your house and literally rattling the door to your home, as if he was some one trying to break into your house by force. Fine, I let things fly. House butler did I say? I just got home after work... and I find the dry waste basket in the kitchen. Let me explain, I know in western cultures it's uncommon to have a waste bin on the floor in the living room area. In Asia, or rather specifically in Malaysia, we have a living room dustin for you to throw your tissue paper, nail clippings, ie dry stuff into it. Nothing that can attract ants, those go into the waste basket in the kitchen(which I'm willing to bet is a universal rule is it not?). Back to the kitchen, I peer into the waste basket, didn't really have to peer as it was overload with garbabge, and I saw 2 cans of coke... Which have overspilled into the waste bin. And it's just been shifted from the living room, into the kitchen and left there. Waiting for god knows what forms of ants, insects and bacteria to invade. The only reason I was in the kitchen was because I had to prepare my dinner. If I decided to eat out, I think that would just be left there overnight. A and L both are now out, I'm not sure when they are coming back. A had chucked a load of laundry to go into the washing machine. I hope he remembers to take it out. Oh did I also forget to mention, the last time A was here. When he left, he left the used glass cup, a box of orange juice sitting on the living room table. The couch was unmade, you can tell someone just slept on it. Is it a normal thing to leave the place you just bunked at even though it's not your place, but your friends, and you have another person at that place, who is basically the person who cleans up...... When I bunk at anyone's place, I minimize my presence as much as I can, heck I even bring my own garbage bag! Am I over reacting?
