I hope they aren't paying to take care of someone's dog.

It's probably a deal where you're getting a room in someone else's house for very cheap but they still live there.

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 23 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Yeah this. It's funny because IIRC that was the original point of AirBnB; like renting a bed in someone's house.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

It was and it was awesome. They were there in the property, so they could give you the low down of the area and make recommendations. Generally awesome friendly people, as you kinda have to be to let strangers stay in your place.

Also they would just clean the place like normal people when you left, not needing to hire cleaners like a small illegal hotel business for property investors.

Capitalist screeching intensifies

Stayed at house in Colorado where the guy would make drinks and food for the multiple groups staying there. He invited us to have some barbecue and he fed his chickens while we chilled in his backyard.

What a different experience that is to these F tier hotel rooms.

That's what a normal b&b is. A Bed & Breakfast means they make you the breakfast.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

BnB means Bed and Breakfast. And, yes, originally a "bed and breakfast" was renting a room in someone's house, and they made breakfast for you in the morning before you left.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 6 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Agreed, but on the flip side I hope that somebody was taking care of the dog. People do that? Just leave pets in their bnb with strangers?

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 3 points 3 hours ago

Most airbnbs that I've stayed at were also occupied by the people who owned the place. It's been a while since I've booked one, but that used to be the default. The most privacy you'd ever really see was a separate entrance to your part of the house. Usually you'd just go in through the front door and sleep in the guest bedroom next to the homeowner's master bedroom.

It's probably in the garden on a leash or something and will try to hump all the moving things

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

This is exactly why I advocate for human names for dogs.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I want more dog names for people.

Boilers and toilets, toilets and boilers.

And if course that one boiling toilet. Fire me ifn ya dare.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's all discrimination I tell you!

A small dog crawls in unsuspecting girl's bed and it's all cute and funny and hahahah and aaawww of course he can stay

But if I do that, its all screaming and all of the sudden police has to get involved

Discrimination, i tell ya!

Adult-themed Animorph books would kill.

Isn't that the werewolf part of Twilight?

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Ha ha ha. Kevin is the only sort of dude I would sleep in the same bed with.

[–] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago

Be careful. He's been known to make entire families disappear.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Kevin is a Great Dane with restless legs and he farts all nights.

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

I mean, you've basically described me minus the great Dane part.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 4 points 4 hours ago

Eh, I've slept with worse...

No one is perfect.

[–] gray@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I am guessing this is from some distant past?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 4 hours ago

No, it's clearly from this year. OP is a time traveler.
