My Dream
Full time employment: Posting here.
I'm a member of an automotive forum and had a fellow member give me a call from New York City about a month ago. In the middle of the conversation he mention's about a deal he and his new wife got on a Bus trip (Megabus) from New York City to Toronto Ontario Canada for $20.00 per person return. He later asks me to recommend a reasonable priced hotel and since I knew he married last year and were saving up for a house I would save them money and have them sleep over at our place from Friday to Monday. Towards the end of the conversation he mentions his sister may be coming along also if that was a problem of which I said...............................not a problem.
From the time I picked them up at the bus depot, 45 minutes away to the time they left, my wife waited on them hand and foot. It was like they were at an all inclusive hotel. We drove them around, made them meals and rarely did they offer to help and when they did we replied, "we could always use help", of which usually last 2 minutes, then they returned to there laptops.
For the last dinner on Monday I mentioned that my wife will be back at work and most likely tired from working all day.... and since I'm not a cook I thought it would be a good jester for all of us to do the cooking since she'd been cooking for 7 (we have two kids) people during the last couple days. I told them that we could base the meal of what ever food we already had at home and just stop off at the local grocery store and pick up what ever else was needed to make the meal. Since they're oriental the sister suggested oriental dishes so off we went to the grocery store. Go figure that the sister lived on her own with two teenage kids therefore was the only one that knew how to cook. Low and behold when we get to the cash register nobody brings out cash to pay even after the married couple bought munchies, so I foot the $55.00 grocery bill.
Ok, rant over; they're home safe and sound.
