Spin off....Pet Peeves when you are a guest

[colz85]

Spun off from the "what do guests do" thread.....


When you go to someone's house, what are some things hosts can do that make you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome?

[AHammer]

not having the essentials in the bathroom. TP, towels, hand soap, etc.

[Baxter78]

Not taking the time to show you where the essentials are (towels, sheets, glasses/cups, etc.)

[Standrea]

An "awkward" atmosphere. Like, when there is little to no conversation.

Not having anything to drink. If you are having people over at least buy a 2 lit. of something.

[salysaturn]

When they sit and yack on the phone...or watch TV.

ITA about the bathroom essentials: toilet paper, soap, hand towels, a plunger, some fragrance spray.

Taking your shoes off-It's one thing when it's raining or snowing, but having to walk around dirty floors in my socks skeeves me out.

Yeah. I just come from a family where the second you walk in it's "can I get you something....Diet Coke, water, juice?" So to me, that's how you welcome someone.

When there are other guests there that you don't know and the host(ess) doesn't introduce you(obviously this applies to small gatherings, not large parties).

My XMIL was always shoving food at me and the kids, and her feelings would be hurt if we turned it down.

She would also turn the thermostat up to the melting-point-of-iron position whenever someone went to take a shower. I used to close the bathroom vent and pile towels on it just so I wouldn't melt.
