Things You Shouldn't Do in Other People's Houses By Jennifer Granato Published March 05, 2007
There are many ignorant and rude people who have no respect when entering someone's house. Many people upon entering a home act as if it' there own home and don't seem to care what the person thinks to how they behave in such a rude manner. Of course all of these things are an exception to the rule depending on how close you are to the person or family in that house hold. This is just a generalization.
Never set one someone's couch and put your feet up on the coffee table
Don't use the bathroom to empty your bowels, especially if the bathroom is located next to the kitchen
Don't use the pretty arm towels conveniently hanging by the toilet when you discover they don't have any toilet paper
Offer to wash the dishes after you've been invited to dinner or offer to have the family pet lick them clean
Putting a plate of food on the floor for the dog to eat off of
Using the phone to make long distance calls
Jumping on someone else's computer, especially with the intent to download large files or look at pornographic material
Taking a seat that someone else was sitting in
Trying to control the house hold because you think their rules suck
Farting and belching while at the dinner table
Leaving a mess around the house after doing something
Turning on the TV without permission
Rifling through the bill slot
Going through closets
Walking into the house with dirty shoes
Coming over with Body Odor
Digging through the fridge
Inviting yourself to dinner
Acting as if you live at the home
Jumping into conversations
Taken up space on the furniture
Walking into someone's house without knocking
Taking over someone's belongings
Commenting about there ugly new psychedelic furniture in a negative way
Pushing your beliefs on them
Cussing like a sailor
Reprimanding there children
Bringing your pet into the house as an extra visitor
Letting rover outside to relieve himself without permission
Inviting yourself into plans that the family has made
Rifling through there medicine cabinet and filling your purse with the contents
Borrowing money from the over stuffed piggy bank sitting in the living room
Bringing laundry with you to be washed because your washer is out of service
Kicking over lawn ornaments and fibbing and saying you tripped
Over staying your welcome
Ordering a large pizza and counting on one of the members of the household to pay for it
Yelling at someone from across the noisy room
Talking over someone's TV show
Putting on there clothes without asking
Suggest that there house needs cleaned or that the walls need painted, and then offer to fix the problems for a hefty fee
Breaking something and then hiding it for the children to get blamed for it later
Blaming the family pet for the wet spot in the carpet
Antagonizing the children at the dinner table or anywhere else in the house
Telling family members that they look bad
Fondling there hundred thousand dollar vase
Arranging there furniture
Straighten out there pictures because your OCD is in over drive
Snooping through rooms in the house without permission
No matter what it may be never use the last of anything
No writing your name in the dust on the furniture
Don't graffiti your name and when you where last there on there chipped walls
When you're invited to there house don't bring extra guest with you
Don't help yourself to there cigarettes
Don't burn holes in the furniture then flip there cushion over to hide it

my God.
we have had so many guests over who spill tea/coffee/juice/food on the floor (off white carpet) and DONT even tell us about it. They just cover it up by pulling the rug over it, or moving the furniture a little.
I've seen the same thing on our sofas (white) with people spilling something and then just covering it with a cushion.

That is so rude hibbah for anyone to do that. I haven't had that happen to me personally but I can imagine. They could have the respect to tell you then perhaps you could clean it before it sets in. I wouldn't invite those people back over if they did that in my home.
Good list Undercover but common sense people should use.

I have a frequent visitor who changes her baby's diapers in the middle of the group on the couch, and then leaves her used baby diapers on the couch; eats from the peanut butter jar with a spoon; goes through my closets to see my newest clothes; tries my shoes on; digs out my jewelery box and tries everything on including earrings; does not help at all in the kitchen, and even when we go to visit them for the weekend, I end up taking the food for the meals (I know it's rude, but she is *very* happy when I do), and actually cooking it myself, otherwise starvation is guaranteed.
And she's a civilized 100% European , thank you very much.

holy crap that's so rude!
Do you consider her a close friend? Some of the things you mentioned are done by myself and an extremely close friend of mine (we've known each other since we were about 12). We kind of feel like sisters, but if she's just a regular friend, not so close, it's really not the same. Do you ever say anything?

Now that's the thing. She's blood-related to the hubby and considers us like "sisters" and crap, but let anyone do the slightest mistake in her house and he's in deep trouble.
She has a white couch and when my husband arrives, she runs in horror and covers it with a blanket like he's gonna set it on fire!
Note: My husband is notorious for spilling cola on couches.
But she could have done this before we arrived, right?!!!

.. And doesn't object that her child uses Baqqa Man's bottle and actually gets annoyed if I say please don't do that to him, while she has just told me that the bugger had just been hospitalized for 10 days for Salmonellosis.

See that's the thing. You can do anything with anything I have. In many cases you can even keep it if you like it so much. But whatever happened to asking first?!

It happens that I like very much that hot hubby of yours. Can I keep it?
Just asking, so you don't think I'm rude...
P.S. He can spill cola over my couch anytime... Posts: 1744 | From: Romania | Registered: Dec 2005

Why can't people just leave on time?!!!!
After waving those goodbye, we close the door, look at each other and say our famous slogan together:
I hate people.
That would be my in laws...they come and stay 4-5 hours at a time! Sometimes I can't take it, I have to excuse myself and take a nap. Sorry but I don't want to do anything I LIKE for 4-5 hours. Posts: 13440 | Registered: Feb 2006
