When you’re house sitting and someone tells you “eat anything in the house” should you still check before touching something?

Imagine you’re doing someone a favour… you’re house sitting, looking after their place, making sure everything is safe while they’re away. Before they leave, they tell you: “Help yourself to anything in the house.” So you take them at their word. You open the freezer, see a cake, and think: “Well, they literally said anything.” You eat it. The problem? That cake wasn’t just dessert… it was their wedding cake. A piece they had been saving as a special tradition for the day they had their first child. Now they’re upset, saying you crossed a line and should’ve known something that sentimental would be off limits. But you’re thinking… “How was I supposed to know? You gave me permission.” Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.
