The Spare Room
A friend asks to stay in your spare room for two weeks after a breakup. You care about them, but they are messy and two weeks could easily become two months.
Do you let them stay?
Then ask
- Would you give the same answer if they had nowhere else to go?
- What if they had refused your help in the past?
- How long could they stay before your kindness turned to resentment?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
