Jeremy returned from vacation expecting peace, but instead found his freeloading brother Ted squatting in his home—beer cans, dirty laundry, and all. Ted had moved in without permission, backed by their parents who claimed Jeremy had “space to spare.” Furious, Jeremy confronted them, only to be guilt-tripped for not “supporting family.” His wife Nina, fed up, packed her bags and gave Jeremy one week to fix it.
Jeremy didn’t yell. He strategized. First, he cut the Wi-Fi. Then the hot water. He filled the fridge with tofu and kale, blasted early morning workout music, and made Ted’s stay a living nightmare. By day five, Ted cracked and stormed out, dragging his junk back to their parents’ house.
Jeremy cleaned up, cooked a proper meal, and called Nina home. She returned, smiling. Ted, meanwhile, was forced to live in the garage and finally get a job. Their parents blamed Jeremy, but he didn’t care. His house was his again—and peace was restored.
