I am in someone else' house right now.
But I'm not going to mess it up.
It's the third time I've house sat here.
And it's nice having this old ~2800sf house to myself.
It's at the end of a road next to a ravine with tall cedars & a creek running through it - very quiet.
While there isn't anything of real monetary value here, there's a lot of the owner's paintings on the wall to look at.
All I have to do is be here overnight so no one breaks in and water the plants.. and if I do mess it up a little bit, there's a cleaning lady that'll be scheduled to come clean it.
I'm not opposed to a little practical joke if anyone suggests anything truly funny. So far the only one I thought might be a candidate was the suggestion to move everything to the left a little, so when they're back they have a hard time getting their bearings in their own home - that one's kinda harmless funny and I could see it driving them a little nuts for a while until they figured it out. Something simple like that miiiight be something I'd do before I leave here.. so, feel free to keep posting suggestions and if there's some harmless bit of fun that seems juuuuust right I might just go ahead and do it before they get back.
Just be very certain that you will be OK with never house sitting for them again. (If someone did anything pranky in my house, however innocuous, they would not be allowed inside the house ever again. It's a trust thing. I could never be sure that the pranky thing I'd found was the only thing they did... would wonder what might be missing, what might eventually happen to my bank accounts or credit card accounts, etc. And no amount of elapsed time would suffice to convince me that all was well.)
It's my aunt's house. If I did do anything, it would be appropriately funny & that's it - not mean or destructive. They'd get a laugh out of it & would still welcome me back to watch the place whenever they're out of town and I'm available to make this my temporary home base.
