Sam mentioned to me not long ago that his brother, Jon, would be visiting on the following day. I said: " That's nice, how long for? " "A month" I literally had no words. My boyfriend who shares my room (Who pays rent and bills, before you start wondering!) suggested that we divide the bills 4 ways seeing as he was going to be staying so long. Sam did not seem pleased. Before long, they had changed the arrangements so that Jon would stay for only one week, and said that because it was for only one week there was no point to split bills 4 ways. We didn't want to make a fuss so agreed. Jon didn't have a job, and hogged the living room for 9 days straight, day and night, playing the Xbox, laptop, listening to the Hifi and cooking all at the same time. Electricity usage must have tripled in the 9 days that he was there. I promised myself there and then that if he was going to stay again, I would move out. One Sam was enough but two made me completely miserable. Dear god… the resemblance is shocking.
