People like to think of themselves as 'good people', and will go to great lengths to prove to themselves and others that they are decent, kind, welcoming, and helpful. Then comes a day when they wish they could take it all back, and that is usually the day when all their kindness comes back to bite them… Hard.

In this case, a few roommates heard that their neighbor was being evicted, and it being Thanksgiving, they just didn't think it was right to leave her out in the cold. So, they did what any good samaritan would do, and they invited her to stay with them for a couple of weeks until she got a place to stay sorted out.

And the roommates knew that they had just entered unknown territory, not knowing how to proceed… Scroll down to read all about it, and then for more, check out this story about a hotel guest who threw a tantrum over her room reservation.
