Have you ever hosted a BAD houseguest? Then there’s a chance they did at least one of these things. “Huff Post” has a list of the rudest things you can do while staying overnight in someone’s home.
1. Snooping. Don’t peek in their medicine cabinet or start riffling through drawers. If you need tweezers, ask where they are. Don’t just go looking.
2. Making a mess and hiding it. If you spill wine on the couch, tell them. Don’t cover it up with a pillow. If you don’t fess up, you’re definitely a bad guest.
3. Telling them how to parent. They’re nice enough to host you, don’t start critiquing their parenting skills. A lot of GRANDPARENTS have a tough time with that rule.
4. Not pitching in to help. Tidy up or do some dishes. They probably won’t ask you to, but they’ll appreciate it.
5. Expecting access to their car. Don’t assume you can borrow it unless they offer. If you know you’ll need a car ahead of time, tell them you might rent one and see what they say.
6. Not giving your host a break. Don’t expect them to entertain you the whole time. And don’t be the person who never leaves the house unless they take you somewhere. Hosting is hard, especially with extended stays. So make sure they get some alone time.
