Make Yourself At Home

I recently had a house guest that I told, "Make yourself at home."

Usually, when you say, "make yourself at home", you mean something like, "help yourself to something to drink", or "you know where the bathroom is", that type of thing.

But, I had the most, ahem, interesting experience when I told the guest to "make yourself at home".

I got coffee cups left over several tables...WITHOUT coasters.

I got my daughter's toys left out all over, not put away.

But most interestingly, while I was downstairs slaving away on home repairs, my guest changed the thermostat.

The guest didn't say anything.

The guest didn't ask permission.

The guest just changed it.

For hours, I thought that I was having heat flashes.

Then I checked the thermostat- five degrees higher than expected.

I've NEVER had someone take the liberty of changing my thermostat IN MY HOUSE without asking.
