We have a distant cousin who overstayed his welcome. He is pretty rich and self-involved and didn't get the point that he should leave. He went to Ireland to visit my grandmother's sister. He wrote to her asking if he could stay for a short visit while he researched some family history. He arrived and never left. He never offered to pay rent or for food or anything. Now my great aunt was a wonderful and generous woman, but even she was getting sick of him. She finally had to tell him that he had to leave because they could no longer afford to feed him. Did he offer her money? No. He left after almost one year. Who does this? That reminds me of the play "The Man Who Came to Dinner" and never left!

That Lifesaver story is too much!
