\u00a0Cleaning up\u00a0mid-party\n\n\n\n
Guests may feel uneasy if the host gets up in the middle of the meal to wash the dishes or grabs a rag in a panic when a crumb falls to the floor. They may believe you are chastising them for their clumsiness or that you want to say goodbye to them as soon as possible. Simply relax and enjoy your party, and clean up after everyone has left.\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nToo many towels\n\n\n\n
When a person enters someone else\u2019s bathroom for the first time, a lot of questions swarm in their head. How can I dry my hands? Is it okay to take that big fluffy towel or is that brown rag intended for guests in this house?\n\n\n\n
Hang a separate clean towel in the bathroom before guests arrive. Ideally, if you place it near the sink, they will immediately understand that they can use it.\n\n\n\n
The lack of\u00a0necessary items in\u00a0the toilet\n\n\n\n
Movie characters can go a whole day without going to the bathroom, but real people have physiological needs. It can be quite awkward if the bathroom lacks both a toilet brush and toilet paper.\n\n\n\n
A visitor should not have to rummage through your shelves looking for evidence of their “toilet crimes.” A good host will either leave the necessary items out of sight or will explain where everything can be found.\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\u00a0Too hot or\u00a0too cold\n\n\n\n
Many of us have witnessed colleagues arguing about the temperature in the office \u2014 some think it’s too hot, while others think it’s too cold. But, if we can be irritated about it at work, we often put up with it out of politeness at a get-together at someone else’s house.\n\n\n\n
Most people find 68\u201472\u00b0F to be a comfortable temperature. Keep this in mind as you observe your guests \u2014 it’s easy to tell if someone is overheating or underheating.\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nTrying to unite your guests with your pets\n\n\n\n
Not all guests will be\u00a0delighted with the fact that you put your white fluffy cat on\u00a0their black trousers. Some people are generally\u00a0afraid\u00a0of\u00a0animals and can get stressed out from just meeting your tiny Chihuahua. Many cats and dogs are also afraid of\u00a0strangers. Sometimes, it\u2019s better to\u00a0leave the pet in\u00a0another room for the good of\u00a0everyone.\n\n\n\n
- We were visiting my husband\u2019s relatives. They invited me to sit in an armchair and put tea and cookies on the table. So, I was sitting and drinking some pretty bad tea, when suddenly a fluffy cat jumped up on the table and put its tail on the saucer with the cookies. The hosts were really happy when this happened, but I was far from being delighted. I said, \u201cHe put his tail down on the cookies.\u201d And they replied, \u201cWell, this is his table, his place, he ALWAYS lies here.\u201d This means, they put my tea in the cat\u2019s corner, this is so disrespectful toward guests.\n\n\n\n
Stained tableware\n\n\n\n
Nowadays, we don\u2019t keep beautiful tableware just for guests. But this doesn\u2019t mean that a person will be pleased to eat from a poorly washed plate or drink from a mug with brown stains. By the way, tea and coffee stains can be easily removed with baking soda.\n\n\n\n
Once I was visiting a friend. She took my plate, put it on the floor, and called her dog over. The dog came running and began to lick this plate. I don\u2019t go there anymore\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThe hall cluttered with your stuff\n\n\n\n
Consider this scenario: you walk into someone’s apartment, trip over scattered shoes, collide with a bicycle leaning against the wall, and finish your tumble by flipping a nightstand with a flower pot. This is not how a friendly get-together should begin.\n\n\n\n
The host should clear space in the hallway ahead of time, and if you live in a private house, you should also clean up the porch. It’s a good idea to wipe down the door handle because it’s almost always dirtier than it appears.\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nApologizing for the mess\n\n\n\n
We do our best to clean up our home before guests arrive but even if we haven\u2019t, there is no need to focus our guests\u2019 attention on this. Phrases like \u201cSorry for the mess\u201d or \u201cSorry, the child scattered toys again\u201d can make the guests feel awkward. A person may feel guilty for invading someone else\u2019s territory at the wrong time.\n\n\n\n
Our neighbor always invited our family for holidays, but we didn\u2019t really enjoy visiting her. She apologized for every little thing as if wanting us to convince her otherwise. \u201cForgive me, dear guests, I didn\u2019t have time to wash the toilet. I cooked so many things for your arrival, no one helped me. Please don\u2019t pay attention to it, you can wipe the seat with a cloth.\u201d\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nTreating your guests like they are your family members\n\n\n\n
Some people are not ashamed to wash the cat litter box in the kitchen sink while a guest is sitting at the table and trying to eat their cake. We want to believe that there are very few similar hosts, but sometimes we need to be ready for anything when on a visit.\n\n\n\n
- We\u00a0were visiting my\u00a0husband\u2019s relative who had just recently had a\u00a0child. And in\u00a0the middle of\u00a0the feast, the hostess cried out joyfully, \u201cWho has the heavy diaper here?\u201d By\u00a0her further actions, we\u00a0realized that she was going to\u00a0change that diaper right there and then. Almost all the guests immediately found an\u00a0excuse to\u00a0leave the table. My\u00a0husband and\u00a0I agreed that we\u00a0would visit that relative only once her child grows\u00a0up.\n\n\n\n
Leaving your clothes scattered around and a\u00a0lack of\u00a0free space on\u00a0the shelves\n\n\n\n
If your guest is staying overnight, the polite thing to do would be to provide them with a shelf or a bedside table where they can put their things. It\u2019s unlikely that anyone will be pleased with the prospect of leaving their clothes on the floor or removing clothes left by the hosts to make space for their own.\n\n\n\n
If a person is visiting you for a couple of hours, it\u2019s worth making room for their coat and shoes on the entry rack.\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nLeaving personal items in\u00a0visible places\n\n\n\n
A guest doesn\u2019t need to know that the host wears boxers with Smurfs, or that the hostess prefers panty liners with a chamomile scent. Personal hygiene products can be temporarily hidden in the bedside table, and the drying rack with the linens can be taken away to another room.\n\n\n\n
A hairbrush also deserves to be stored separately. A girl posted a video on TikTok about how she cleaned and washed her hair brushes. At the end of the video, she asked subscribers if they were doing the same. Some followers said that they didn\u2019t bother to do it at all, but most of them were shocked that someone could not clean their hairbrushes. So leaving a brush with your hair on it in the bathroom will make the majority of guests feel awkward.\n\n\n\n
