Everybody better read this if you want to visit, stay the night, or whatever.
I have had ENOUGH of being used and abused IN MY OWN HOUSE!
Therefore I'm establishing these rules for the house.
1: DO NOT use or consume my stuff. DO NOT drink my drink, eat my food, or use anything that YOU ALONE HAVE NOT BOUGHT. The things I HAVE bought in this house ARE FOR MY USE ONLY! You all do not spend the money to buy the stuff, NOR DO YOU GUYS REPLACE IT. All I'm asking you guys is please ask me before you use my stuff or consume my stuff. I've had enough of people just taking what they want from me WITHOUT asking me before. If you just ask, I'll give you two simple answers, either Yes or No. I never go to my parent's place and just take what I want anymore. I ALWAYS ASK if I can have drinks, food, or take a shower, ALWAYS. I would do the same thing at your house. So do the same with me, or you would NOT be allowed back to my place. This especially goes for personal stuff. For example: My mouthwash, Shampoo, Bodywash, and Body scrubber. That is discusting and my personal stuff, not yours.
2: DO NOT spring up last minute and say you're spending the night. I need advance warning. Not only does that put a hinderance in my plans, but I would not be prepared last minute. You never know when I might have somebody else come over, or I might actually not be at home that night in reverse. I grew up having to do this for my parents, so I expect others to do it as well. The consequences of you springing that type of thing up on me, is for me to just stay up and play games all night long. I don't really care. I've ran off of less sleep before, and it does not bother me one bit. All I ask on this, is let me know a few hours before. NOT A FEW MINUTES or AN HOUR..but a few hours ahead of time to make sure nothing will get messed up.
3: DO NOT mess with my stuff. I've certainly had enough of this. Truly. I never mess with people's stuff without asking their permission first. And if they turn me down, I accept that. It doesn't break my heart. So I certainly expect that with my stuff as well. Leave my stuff alone unless you have my permission, that way you don't break my stuff and end up ticking me off. This goes along with rule number 1; if you didn't pay for it, leave it alone unless you're going to pay for a replacement product.
4: CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES! Some people just gross me out. If you pee on my toilet, you better freaking clean it up. If you shed hair all over my NICE RECENTLY CLEANED SHOWER, you better clean that up too. I DO NOT SPEND HOURS CLEANING THIS HOUSE JUST TO HAVE IT MESSED UP IN A MATTER OF HOURS. I also do not go to your houses and mess up your stuff, and just leave messes all over the place. So show some respect. You guys ARE MY GUEST AT MY HOUSE, not your house. So treat it that way, or the consequence is you will not be allowed back.
5: DO NOT ABUSE YOUR PRIVLEDGES. If you ask to take a shower, DO NOT STAY IN THERE FOR 30 MINUTES. That's a waste of water, cost me money, and is very rude. Just because I say you can have one drink DOES NOT MEAN you can have all the others as well. Same goes for food. Just because I say you can use a little of my soap/bodywash does not mean you have to take up half my bottle of it. A little bit goes a long way, especially if water is mixed in. Stepping or abusing your privledges I give you is a certain guarantee that you will be immediately kicked out and not allowed back to my house.
Lastly 6: REPSECT ME AND MY HOME. I respect everybody because that's how I was raised to do, and that's what I feel is correct in life. And for people to not respect my home by not doing what I listed above seriously makes me mad. I would never go into someone's home thinking it was all mine and I could do whatever I wanted to. I let people know if I intend to stay the night. I don't use or consume items without permission. And I certainly clean up after myself. I can be a very nice person and a very humble host for my home, but if you do not treat me as such, you will not be allowed back.
That is all for now. I needed to get that off my chest because I have had enough of people using me for their own good, and certainly getting tired of people abusing me mentally, physically, and respectfully. I let you guys come into my home graciously so therefore I expect you all to respect that. I let you all come to me with your problems, or just to come and talk, not to abuse me with your problems and your rumors. If you don't, I will have nothing to do with you anymore. Plain and simple. Sorry all of this has been said, but it needed to be. I can be very reasonable, and a very nice person, but not when all this CRAP happens.

Ewwy. I'll be more than glad to take you to Wal-mart that's 3 minutes away from the house to go get you one. But no sharing mine.

OP
If you(meaning the you in context of this journal) were my mate, I would have no problem sharing stuff. That's what I used to do anyways, always have. But when we're not mates, and not close enough to be more than just "friends," it puts a hindrance on what I'm willing to share. Personal hygiene products are just common sense. I've never met a person who likes to share from other's products. I find it gross.
