Maybe not 100% relevant
More un-thinking than spoilt perhaps, but a few years ago we lived in a house next door to a student house. They weren't too bad most of the time - one was a music student and would practice the cello until late into the night - how can you complain about that?

But one Thursday night at around 2.30am there was a ring at the doorbell. Who the fuck!!! We were all asleep at the time - our sprog was in the middle of her GCSEs, we normally went to bed well before 12.00. So, pulled on my dressing-gown and went to see what the emergency was. There was a student there, in a shirt and trousers - shivering. I'd never seen him before in my life.

"Sorry to disturb you - I live next door. I've just got home, nobody's in and I've forgotten my key."

"Yes?"

"Well, I haven't got a coat and it's really cold out here."

What the fuck??????? The miserable student looked up at me with puppy eyes. What did he want? A sofa to sleep on? A house-breaking kit? A tele-porter? A nice hot cup of tea and a chat?

"Here you go," I said, taking my warm winter jacket off the coat peg, "you can bring it back tomorrow."

I passed him the jacket, closed the door and went back to bed. He wasn't outside at 6.30am when I got up, but he brought the jacket back later.

What was he thinking? If I'd done what he'd done, I'd have gone to a friend or suffered in silence. Friggin' students.

Good grief
I would like to think that I was never that fucking useless as a student.

I honestly dont know what I would have done in your situation (because you didnt know him).

Like I used to say to my neighbours...
... "Well if you're going to live next door to students, what did you expect!?"

I've forgotten my house key many times
but I've always been able to break in again without disturbing others.
Waking you up was just lazyness *nods*

If it was that bad
I'd be breaking windows to get in rather than knocking on a stranger's door.

I think the only thing about him that's spoilt
is his brain.
