Entitled Family Demands House Sitter Pay Their Utilities Bill


This person gets someone to housesit and feed their pets for a week, then they turn around and make up a bunch of charges for the person? Sounds like the cartoonish demands of an entitled person. And even if paying the utilities was part of the deal, which it wasn't, that number is still way too high. It's impossible to understand what's going on in the heads of entitled folks with audacious demands.

Although the fact that the family member recently lost her job due to the pandemic does make me feel like i'm being an AH. A little less than a month ago, i decided to house sit for a family member and her boyfriend for a week while they were going

Text - House-sitting went fine and i'd pretty much forgotten about it until today. The family member sent me a paypal request with no explanation. She requested $184 and i immediately called and her and asked why she was doing this. She stated that it was my share of the bills for when i stayed. I was in shock, i told her i took a week off of work to care for her house free of charge, she said that i sill had to pay utilities. Keep in mind, i was never once made aware of this otherwise i would o

Text - I told her to go fuck herself and hung up, ever since she's been messaging me saying she's gonna call the police and tell everyone on facebook about what a horrible piece of shit i am. I haven't responded to any of these messages and don't plan too. Am i the asshole?

You'll pay her 184 when she pays you $875 Offer her a discount and charge her $2 per hour. Still works out. $350. NTA you were doing them a favour. If they had put the pet in to boarding or elsewhere they would have a much higher bill.

That's no different than someone asking you to babysit their kids for a week while they take vacation, then tell you to pay for bills during the time you were in the house. What will they tell the police? Make sure to save any text messages sent to you they sound insane.

Text - Gonebabythoughts Commander in Cheeks [263] 1.8k points · 1 day ago NTA Find a local kennel and get some rates for what they would have charged her to take care of her pets, then look up the fees for how much it would have cost to have someone paid to stay in her house to do the same. Present her with an invoice for both and ask her which one she wants to pay.

You NEVER charge them utilities unless there is egregious breach like $600 in phone calls or the electric jumped 250%. Further they should have been compensating you for your time and energy. Never house sit for them again and tell them to stuff that bill where the sun doesn't shine.

Text - lanibgoode 877 points · 1 day ago nta, everyone else has good points, but I'm still stuck on the amount. how on earth could you possibly have used up enough of anything in a week to cost almost $200?? i don't think you could rack up that amount having every electronic device on and running water 24/7 for the whole week! 22022004 983 points · 1 day ago Considering she tried to add all of her insurances as reasoning for a bill so high, she's probably just trying to get the most money she ca
