@ tazdevil - 3.09.17 - 01:30pm Was wondering am I a bad person if I turned someone in a desperate situation away? Like if someone had escaped an abusive family situation with nowhere to go, or let's say it was raining heavily and I didn't let them in? I would want to help. But I don't want a Texas chainsaw massacre in this house. Id show them in direction of help but I'd not just let some random in |

@ mz.c - 3.09.17 - 02:02pm Id show them in direction of help but I'd not just let some random in I think I'd do the same. Point them in the way of a hotel or similar or call a local shelter or direct them to govt. medical services, for example. But not in my house. Yeah, I draw the line there lol |

@ birdy - 3.09.17 - 01:52pm I don't expect random people to let me in their house just because it's raining. Does anyone? Me neither And tbh, even if I was stranded in rain, I would not be asking for accommodation from strangers. But it'd be hard seeing someone in such a situation. But then, you also can't tell if they are genuine or just a scam. Can't take things at face value. I'm personally quite critical about taking strangers in, and I think my caution and reluctance are warranted. Better safe than sorry. |

@ tazdevil - 3.09.17 - 12:00pm Okay, so I have this friend who does a lot of travelling for work. He visited US recently, and stayed with people he didn't know at all. He said it's not very uncommon to do something like that in America plus it's cheaper than a hotel. How odd. And he had a great experience; said the host family was very welcoming. But I'm highly critical. How can you stay over at a stranger's house? And how can anyone have a stranger stay at their house they don't know well at all? Each to their own, surely, but it's too unsafe. Don't you think? I think people are probably more trusting in the US lol Would you have a stranger stay overnight at your house? Isn't that like abind of guest house? I wouldn't tho |

@ tazdevil - 3.09.17 - 12:19pm Same here I would show them the closest hotel/motels around, but wouldn't let any fker sleep in my house. It's Delhi. The risks are obvious lol it's not necessarily obvious to me what the risks are for living in Delhi... |

@ 3mel - 3.09.17 - 04:11pm it's not necessarily obvious to me what the risks are for living in Delhi... Only having one toilet must rank pretty highly. |

@ ladibud - 3.09.17 - 04:05pm Isn't that like abind of guest house? I wouldn't tho No, not a guest house. In their home. It's like paying for a hotel, but cheaper and in a stranger's house (and sometimes free if the host family is very hospitable; as in my friend's case) There's a website(s) that is disrupting a long-standing business. In this case, the hotel business. People rent space in their own homes to make a little extra money, and people stay there to save money (compared to a hotel) So basically, you're a stranger to them and you have a complete stranger staying in your house. I feel weird about the whole thing lol |
