Jobless friend asks to stay with 24-year-old former roommate for 'a few days,' ends up staying over 3 weeks, guilt tripping friend into subsidizing her

Staying at a friend's house is not a minute imposition. It can get out of hand pretty quickly. You might be happy to do it for a couple of days if you're getting to visit with them, but you can't deny that it upends your life quite a bit. If you're a person who likes things a certain way, having someone else in your house can really mess with that flow. This is especially true if you don't have a guest room to house them in like many of us don't.

Maybe they're staying in your living room, so now you can't make coffee in the morning without waking them up. Maybe you're sharing a bathroom with them, so you need to plan your shower time. These are small things, sure, but they add up over time. This is what makes time the essential factor. You can put up with anything for a couple of days. A couple of weeks, however…

AITA for kicking out my jobless friend who turned a "few days" visit into a three- week stay?
