we will be like ships passing in the night.

what is my obligation to provide for them? they're using me as a hotel, really, not visiting me. I'll seriously see them for maybe an hour.

so am I supposed to stock the fridge? get out the good towels? make sure there's an assortment of beverages?

I had some friends stay in my place while I was away last time. I pretty much just left towels out. -- nm - mafic Sep 8, 08:30

Maybe the basics - bread, milk, coffee, etc. Think 'hotel room' coffee setup. If they're any kind of guests they'll - MojaveMeg Sep 8, 08:24

- i'd probably leave towels on the bed, coffee maker instructions, maybe some bread for toast, etc. but, that's about it -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 08:25 8
  - how complicated is your coffee maker? -- nm - TFox Sep 8, 08:28 1
    - it's a Tassimo, so, not very, but, still. i meant more explain where to find everything. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 08:29

    - I never give up the bed for visitors, that just seems weird. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 08:28
    - I wouldn't - znufrii, Q-Lister Sep 8, 08:28
    - hmm, the bed thing is trickier. are you up first? then i'd take the couch so you don't have to be tiptoeing around your - Andie Sep 8, 08:28

i'd leave towels and sheets in obvious places. maybe a note that says "help yourself" (if you want them to, if not, fuck it.) - TFox Sep 8, 08:23 2

I'd make my place presentable, have beverages and maybe extra snacks/chips/fruit but I wouldn't go so far as to have meals - oblique Sep 8, 08:21 5
- I think this is what I would do too. -- nm - pmb Sep 8, 08:25
- I am in agreement with this. And the good towels. I just had a discussion over the wknd about what a house/home should have. Let's talk handtowels. I - bc/nc Sep 8, 08:24 3
  - we've had a bunch of company lately. i've gotten in the habit of leaving fresh flowers in the room and a toronto transit map, and we have a movie - Andie Sep 8, 08:27 2
    - note that I have no spare bedroom, so this won't work for me. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 8, 08:28 1
      - yeah, trickier. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 08:28
free hotel, no companionship? they should be fending for themselves. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 08:21
