Showers
Staying at my friends' house for New Year, I decided to have a shower the next morning.
No problem; go into the bathroom, cue internal monologue:
Oh it's a shower-over-the-bath arrangement, that's fine, I can deal with this! I have a degree! Gosh, this must be a little inconvenient for aforementioned friends in a morning, only one shower and one loo and they're both in the same room...Not the greatest of all showers either, but oh well.
A few hours later I found the *actual* shower room whilst doing some cleaning. Proper shower cublicle, tiled walls etc. Spoon.
I must have been to that house more than a dozen times before I realised it had a separate shower.

You were awake on New Year's Morning?

You were cleaning in somebody else's house?

^ yeah, good point!
The OP answers the QOTW on quite a few levels. :P

well, IMHO
All good houseguests should at least offer to perform light cleaning or other chores. Especially if there's a group staying; and/or it's the morning after a party.

Yes indeed
I did offer to clean, it was only fair really since they let me stay over. Besides, I *like* cleaning.
