Attic.

Housesitting for dp work colleagues next week.
Collegue has said to dp 'definately don't go in the attic it will change your opinion of me' and dp relayed this to me.
[hmmm]

The only Thing I want now is to see in that attic.

AIBU and a nosey bitch or is she asking for snoops by declaring it out of bounds?

Place marking Wink

Mandy2003 · 04/09/2013 00:27

It's a trap!!

AgentZigzag · 04/09/2013 00:45

Ach, they wanted you to look or why mention it?

I bet it's a stealth boast about it being all tidy and organised Grin

But yes, take photos for us you never know.

SouthernComforts · 04/09/2013 00:52

Definitely a sex dungeon.

Mummyoftheyear · 04/09/2013 05:46

Mr Grey Red Room
or Mr Messy mess.

I'm with nomorecrumbs and reckon it's some sort of nosey test. Don't do it OP!! It would never have occurred to you to go there before this comment. It's not nice to snoop.

But if you do happen to go there... live feed for sure! Or at least report back!

KalevalaForMePlease · 04/09/2013 06:09

Check around the hatch first to see if they've put a hair across, or a piece of tape, to catch you out! You always see that in movies

Cheerymum · 04/09/2013 06:16

I' m with Drop - I wouldn't look if asked not to but it would take a lot of self control

nameuschangeus · 04/09/2013 06:27

I have never done this before and I've been on here since 2005 but... marking my place Wink

KatyPutTheCuttleOn · 04/09/2013 06:34

Marking my place because I am nosy so I can support the OP if she is traumatised by what she sees in the attic.

Lavenderhoney · 04/09/2013 06:37

Why mention it? And why would a house sitter go in the attic?
What sort of person is she normally? Professional, sensible?

Put a bag over your head incase she has fixed up a nannycam and is watching you from her holiday:)

ScumbagCollegeDropout · 04/09/2013 06:49

Totally marking my place on this thread

SPBisResisting · 04/09/2013 06:52

FruOla · 04/09/2013 06:55

Personally, I wouldn't snoop. But I agree that telling you not to look is just asking for it Grin

DropYourSword · 04/09/2013 07:19

Oh, but what if it's something truly awful!

FruOla · 04/09/2013 07:35

Oh no! What if she keeps snakes in a terrarium www.herpcenter.com/reptile-articles/images/duplexterrarium/1.jpg? Shock

DropYourSword · 04/09/2013 07:37

Or free range tarantulas

Grin

Had no sleep.
You aren't helping.
You were supposed to say 'ohhh no you can't possibly go in the loft the slovenly thing keeps her ironing in there'
Not get me more excited with talk of sex dungeons and terrapins.
I have to go there today to learn the alarm and gates and to be introduced to the guard chap.
I'm so giddy I could well wrestle her to the ground tie her up and skip up that bloody ladder.
I even had a quick peep in my own loft never been up there before I know mine is messy and full of shite to get a feel for lift areas.
They go away on saturday.
I may actually explode with noseyness before then.

"Snakes in a terrarium" ...... not terrapins Grin Grin

You could always ask her what's in the loft? Wink

StanleyLambchop · 04/09/2013 09:12

Careful, they may have a camera in the attic, just to see if you do go up!!

absentmindeddooooodles · 04/09/2013 09:16

Shamelessly place marking :)

ThisWayForCrazy · 04/09/2013 09:22

Am I the only one who thinks they may be growing something Wink

There will be cctv streamed directly to colleague's location and to be shared with online audience. You are falling into The Trap.

Souredstones · 04/09/2013 09:31

Don't do it. I reckon it's their way of finding out whether they can trust you or not
