Upon returning from a vacation, Jeremy and his wife, Nina, discovered their living room in disarray and found Jeremy’s older brother, Ted, lounging on the couch. To their shock, Ted had moved into their home without permission, a decision made by their parents who assumed the couple wouldn’t mind since they were away. Jeremy was furious about the intrusion and the disrespect shown to his home.

Ted’s casual attitude about the situation and his history of freeloading added to Jeremy’s frustration. He confronted his mother and father, expressing his displeasure over Ted’s lack of responsibility and their decision to impose him on Jeremy and Nina. Despite his parents’ insistence that it was Jeremy’s duty to help his brother, Jeremy refused to accept Ted’s presence in their home.

Determined to resolve the situation, Jeremy decided to make Ted’s stay as uncomfortable as possible, disconnecting essential utilities, replacing food with items Ted disliked, and disturbing his routine with early morning noise. Ted’s dissatisfaction grew, leading him to eventually move out and return to their parents’ house.

Once Ted left, Jeremy cleaned the house, stocked it with proper groceries, and informed Nina that their home was once again their own. He then contacted his parents, making it clear that Ted would not be returning to Jeremy’s house and was now their responsibility again. This decision led to Ted being forced to find his own way and face new responsibilities.

Jeremy’s actions led to Ted moving back into his parents’ house under stricter conditions, including converting the garage into his space and finding employment.

Despite the family’s anger towards Jeremy, he and Nina were relieved to regain peace in their home.
