So lets say your good friend or sibling or parent or whatever was going on vacation and they asked you to bring the mail in. Gave you a key if you dont already have one, etc.

and when you bring the mail in, you see they left their house kind of a mess dirty dishes, didnt take out the trash, bags on the floor, whatever.

would you tidy up their house for them? The main areas only? Take the trash out? Run their dishwasher only?

what do you do?

Nothing. Zero incentive, plenty of potential fallout.

Id probably ask about the trash, at least bag it up so the place doesnt smell when they get back.

Just call or text them about it...problem solved.

If they trust you with the keys, then I would assume you have their contact info

Yeah. For me its cause I wouldn't want them doing it in my place. My mother has offered to help clean my bedroom several times (the only place I am a bit of a slob in) and I always refuse.

Had to clean the whole house the other day which wasnt bad cept my room. I was offered help cause I had a broke hand but I'm stubborn. And im actually happy with my room clean gonna try to keep it that way this time.

This. I dont have anything illegal but I do have things that would raise an eyebrow. My mother wouldnt be bothered my most of but some of it would be shit shed rather not see as much as I'd rather her not see it. Same with my brother. Fortunately they both have worked the same line of work so when they come across shit I confiscated off a inmate and I kept as a sovenire cause it was my first or I thought it was neat they would know the deal

I would mind my business and just put their mail in the house.

Also, they could just have the post office hold onto their mail until they get back.

Bring in the mail and that's it.

I wouldn't clean their place up even if they asked me to, they should have done that before they left on their planned vacation.

All of my friends, family and neighbors are neat people. But sometimes when you're leaving on vacation, you might forget the trash. I'd take it out.

I'd probably do it.

If your sibling asked you to do them a favor...

I'd be astonished, because the only sibling I had (that I know of) died about 15 years ago.



MrMelodramatic posted...
If your neighbor asked you to do them a favor...

I'd be surprised, because I don't really talk to my neighbors.

The last time my aunt asked me to bring her mail in when she was on vacation, I didn't even go into her kitchen, so she could have had an entire sink full of dishes and a corpse stuffed into the garbage can and I'd have never known. I just dropped her mail on the coffee table in the living room right inside the front door. Not that she would have done that, because she's kind of a clean freak.

It wouldn't even occur to me to clean up someone's house, though. That just sounds like crazy talk to me.

I would make an even bigger mess and tell them it was already like that if they ask.

Pretty much these. If there are garbage bags around, it's possible that they just forgot to ask you to take them out (or thought you wouldn't want to), so asking/offering is considerate. Doing anything else uninvited, however, is an invasion of privacy and a major passive-aggressive judgement of their lifestyle. Most people aren't going to be keen on that.
