worst house guest ever was a couple with a baby who were traveling through and needed a place to crash. We let them use our inflatable mattress with memory foam on top. They had planned to stay 2 nights, but decided instead to stay just one after the first night. I thought we had woken up the baby and were too loud late at night. It turns out that they wet the bed that night and were too embarrassed to tell us. Our next guest who came a day or two later slept on a pee-soaked memory foam pad for a few days til we realized what had happened. We had to toss the memory foam pad and scrub the mattress with bleach. So gross! Please don't wet other people's beds as a guest or at less fess up.

we always replace the toilet seat with a new one

If you are a poor grad student like my husband and myself there are several free online tabata clocks. My husband uses one and it is great if you prefer kettle-belling at home or by your computer. Here is one he uses: http://www.beach-fitness.com/tabata/
You can also google online tabata timer too for more links.
