When Nick decided to marry Mary, he didn't expect her to have lots of close and distant relatives. It turned out that their visits to his home were more than infrequent. They would throw their personal belongings here and there. In this, Mary had the same character trait... She just entered a room and it seemed to become more cluttered. So by the end of a guests' stay, it was impossible to tell which thing belonged to the guests and which to the hosts. Nick tried not to become concerned about that, but after his three best ties disappeared, he lost his good patent leather shoes, and grandpa's mattress, he decided enough was enough.
The guests seemed to be like cockroaches, they were everywhere. You found them in the kitchen about to devour your sandwiches in the fridge, or sipping on your coke. You would find them in your bedroom browsing through your family album, etc. Pretty soon, they didn't even ask Nick's permission to use his car. The last straw was when these guests began inviting guests of their own. Nick argued about this with his wife but that didn't solve anything. One evening, after a gang of guests came to visit, Nick created a scandal. He was breaking furniture, screaming, tearing his hair out, and swearing in German. (Nick came from the Southern Hill Country of Texas where they have a large German population, and while growing up, he'd picked up a few choice curses).
Hearing the ruckus, a friend of Nick's who worked at a psychiatric ward in the local hospital called an ambulance. They arrived, put Nick into a straight jacket, gave him a tranquilizer, and led him away.
Though things seemed to have settled down, the tranquilizers had little effect on Nick's state of mind and with the help of a few of the other mental patients, Nick escaped and returned that night. The other patients complained that Nick was disturbing their peace of mind. It worked, however, for Nick. All the guests in his house made a run for it, and never returned.
