Preface...I love house-sitting. The list below in no way deters me, but is just a compilation of the random funnies I've encountered this summer while sitting.
Did I leave a light on...or not?
This is one of the worst. At home I'm pretty dilligent at keeping the lights off when not in the room and before leaving the house I always do a sweep looking for lamps on/lights on/unnecessary appliances plugged in/etc. So, when I come home to a house where I'm house sitting at and a light's on...cue paranoia.
Pinterest? Yes. One night while house-sitting, I was pintresting and came across a pin called "things a burgler knows" or something like that. I clicked on it, went to the article and started reading. Then while on that site I started reading other articles. STUPID idea. Best to stick to fun things like "how to make a gallery wall" or Pinterest, you are drunk.
Lawn-cutting
Take this pic.
I pulled into the neighborhood and saw what I thought was clouds of smoke. I PANICED. OMG, the house is on FIRE. No, no. It's just the neighbors hitting a dirt spot (repeatedly) while cutting the grass.
Animals (in general)
Have to love when they start barking. At nothing. Or seemingly nothing...
HAHAHA...I especially love the "house on fire." It definitely does look like that!! Poor Lola, barking at nothing...sheesh. That is annoying even if you own her, haha.
