Four things you should never do at someone else's house

Small gestures can go a long way. - by Rachael Jones

Four things you should never do at someone else's house

We’ve covered off the things that guests always notice, but it works both ways.

Here are four things you should never do while staying at some else’s house.

RELATED: Four things houseguests always notice

 

Arrive too early or late

Turning up early may leave your hosts flustered and feeling unprepared, keeping them waiting isn’t a good idea either. Sometimes things are unavoidable, so keep your hosts in the loop about your whereabouts.

Leave your bed unmade

Make your bed every morning – no excuses. This keeps your host happy and the house looking tidy. 

Expect to be served

While helping yourself to everything in the fridge and pantry might come across as rude, it’s not the job of the host to fill your glass of water every time you are thirsty or feel like a snack. 

Leave a mess 

Don’t expect your host to clean up after you. Wash up your plates and dishes after each use. Offering to clean up after dinner will also be greatly appreciated.
