I'm currently renting a room in an airbnb house where the host and his gf don't normally live. It's normally quiet, in fact I was even lucky enough to live alone for a couple of weeks in the past 2.5 months, with all the common spaces + 1 bedroom to myself. Surrounded by nature and close to work, it was paradise!

That is until some inconsiderate guests showed up, one stomped around at night 2-3am , banging in the kitchen, being a nuisance despite the fact I told him I had to work..he didn't care. Then this couple who stayed one night, again during my work week, insisted on watching TV after 1:30am despite the fact I told them I had to work and my bedroom was downstairs below the TV room..nope didn't care. Now the hosts decided to have people over for a "meeting" between 11pm - 3am a few times, again while I'm renting a room in the house and I'm scratching my head as to why? Why here, why at night, when the hosts don't even really live here? They and their associates drive luxury cars, dress in fancy clothes, wear nice jewelry, and yet why act so inconsiderate towards their paying guests? Probably because they don't care and know that the money earned from renting out 1 room is insignificant to them. I could message them via the airbnb app and leave a mediocre review but don't want to totally burn bridges as otherwise it's a nice space!

I would like to complain about safety seals. I started using a new bottle of dishwashing liquid today, but when I turned it over and squeezed, nothing happened. I had to screw off the lid and remove the safety seal first. Now who in the heck would contaminate dish soap, for crying out loud? What do they think I'm going to do, drink it? I think the safety seal thing has gotten out of hand. I also resent childproof caps and wish there were an option to buy bottles that don't have them. They are so hard to open, and people with arthritis or other disabilities might find it nearly impossible. I'm able-bodied, but even I struggle with those darn things.

You can also use the side of a countertop or table to pop the outer cap off.

Yes, thanks. Using a hacksaw to cut the bottle top off at the neck works too, but you have to be pretty worked up to want to do that. You also have to own a hacksaw.

Traffic is always so bad where I'm staying until next week. I can't handle this concrete jungle. I'm so used to not waiting on a traffic signal but once. Rarely twice and twice would be a traffic jam for me.
