...Why Some People Don't Know How To Make Use of Their Resources - It's Like Free Money!

This is going to be a short one - I'm suppose to be studying!

Going on a road trip sounds pretty simple doesn't it? Gather some mates (pre-requisite: friends), preferably one or two with a car, and some money, then work out where you want to go, where you want to stay and how long you'd be there for. Seems fairly simple isn't it? Well it's not.

Looking for holiday accommodation turns out to be a "fjasdfhbjasdhasjhdas" job. The main reason is because no one seems to want to allow a bunch of teenagers/young people to rent their holiday house.  They are "suitable for families". Apparently, because of the stereotypes, we are seen as drunken disasters who will smash all the expensive vases and cabinets in their house and then break off the front door to use as a sledge to slide down the nearest hill. At 3am. Well, open your eyes - we won't do such things. Not all teenagers are like that. I guess it's fair though in the sense that they need to be comfortable with whoever is renting out their house.

But think about it economically. Most of the places we applied for aren't full at all. November seems empty. December seems empty, except for the last few important days. So why not just let us stay? It's unlikely that someone else would want to go on the days we're going. We give you a bond for a reason. And no one really likes paying for things they break anyway. Your house is going to be empty. You're not going to open the microwave and see that money as spawned there (unless that is your hiding place... which is really bad). Let us have our fun. And you earn money from it. Deal?

And while we're on about renting, if you have so many "requirements that we did not meet" why the hell don't you state such requirements on the page?
