You can’t get the staff these days! (by alaric)
We've got houseguests over, and we left them at home while we went for a walk in the countryside.
However, when I got home, I found they'd decided to go to Tesco many hours previously, and had gone off leaving:
- Jean's rabbit outside in his run
- The shed unlocked
- The front door of the house wide open
When asked why, they said "Oh, Barbara (the next door neighbour, my aunt) was around"...
Had it not occurred to them that Barbara might decide to go out herself, and is not supposed to be responsible for locking up our home? Or that Barbara might not actually take it upon herself to guard our open doors from passing opportunists, and sit watching, but might have her own things to do?
