Would you ask a snoop to house sit?

[human bean]

If you know without a doubt they have gone through boxes/drawers when alone in your house (boxes piled in another room) even admitted to taking something out of an unmarked box to borrow. But you never made a fuss of it (was in far too much shock at the time to respond appropriately!)

Would you ask them to mind your house for a couple of weeks?

Not that I have really anything to hide, so to speak, but my personal stuff is just that, my personal stuff. Our personal stuff.

Would you?

ETA Said snoop being a family member so the expectation is there that they would be asked.....

[Phteven]

No way. Creepsville.

[PumpkinZulu]

Nooooooo. That's not cool.

[~Hestia~]

Nup. Unless I had some kind of safe to lock all my personal things into!

[human bean]

Just edited original post to add that it's a family member

[Astrolady]

Still wouldn't ask family member or not.

[~StarBright~]

Still no way!!! And possibly even tell them why when they ask why they werent asked!!!

[luna moth]

Yes. And I would booby trap the **** outta my stuff.

[Aimz]

No way. Creepsville.

Yeah, that.

[black_rose]

No! But I would boobie trap everything like Audax said and then put in cameras as per mummenurse's suggestion to get a laugh if I absolutely had to.

[Rouge]

Helllll no.

[Just Me]

No, I don't think I would but it is easy to say that in theory ...

Are you asking because you feel obligated to let the snoop housesit? Or desperate for a housesitter?

I guess, I think the same as Miss E ... you are asking for a reason so I was just wondering about it. Not that you have to share if you don't want to but there might be other solutions that you haven't thought about ...

I know my MIL is a snoop, but we still have them house-sit.. They were here a few months back, and I made sure there was a suprise in the 1st drawer (the easiest thing to access in our room), and suprisingly nothing our room was touched..

All the kids clothes were put away, the rest of the house was spotless, and my sheets changed, but mine and DH's clothes were left on our bed (she used to put them away and it iritated me!

And we allow them to house-sit because they are DH's parents, and that is just the way she is.

No.

(Apparently this reply message is too short, I have to lengthen it to at least 5 characters, I’ve never had that error message before ).

No way!

No way. My sister housesat for us last year for a weekend, and after we got back she confessed she'd been looking for something (norty how-to manuals) and found our toy drawer.....and then called another sister and they went through it together I cannot describe how absolutely violated I felt, and we have never asked her to housesit again.

Fair enough, you may not have anything to hide - but that doesn't mean everyone needs to see and know what you have. I would not only NOT ask them, I would be upfront about why.

And if you're stuck for a housesitter, we're living with my parents at the moment, so we're available

[surprised]

Absolutely not! In fact, I would never ask anyone to housesit for us anyway. I have done it for others (didn't look at their stuff though!) and really hated it.

WHAAAAAAAT! I bet they sat & had a good giggle. I would have been thinking so hard to come up with some reason to get them ****ting themselves about STD's or something. I can't believe someone would do that. Snoop yes (I have snooped when house sitting before but I was very young & it was as a PP said only in linen cuboards/sewing room. Not personal personal stuff) but to then call someone over to have a good rummage & giggle about something so incredibly personal & then I assume tell you about it?!

I hope you ***** slapped the pair of them!

I spent this weekend house-siting and I snooped a little out of boredom.... I was looking after my grandparents place. I only looked in the cupboards in the spare bedroom and in the walk in hall cupboard.. But I didn't rummage through anything, I was only looking for books/something entertaining lol. Actually tbh I usually snoop here, if I hadn't snooped last time I stayed I wouldn't have found out my Nan threw out my wedding dress (whole other thread there).

I wasn't digging around in their personal stuff though, that'd be totally weird.

If I knew someone had snooped through my personal stuff I'd be annoyed (ie through my bedside draws etc etc) And I wouldn't let them house-sit. No way!
