Over staying your welcome...

There is visiting etiquette. Can you over stay your welcome? UMMM... YES!!! I'm going to help you people understand how this "visiting etiquette" works. 

If you are visiting a friend and staying in their house you need to abide by the "visiting etiquette". You need to leave in the timeframe that was discussed before you got to their house. Don't assume that because you are there that you can stay as long as you feel like it. No, you need to get the hell out as soon as your time is up. 

If there is no timeframe on the visit then there is still "visiting etiquette" on that too. If you are in a room that has a TV in it you do not monopolize the family TV all of the time. You do not fall to sleep in the family room because maybe just maybe the family will want to watch TV in that room. You also do not leave your crap in the family room like it's your house. Your crap should be stored in "your" room. Along with you... And while you're in "your" room make sure that it is clean. Don't go acting like it's your room when you were a teenager... Clean it up!

You do not dirty up dishes and leave them for others to clean up. As a matter of fact you should be doing the dishes and other housework considering you are not paying bills. If you are not contributing to the house then the least and I mean very least you can do is clean up after yourself.

You should not leave your clothes in the washer or dryer because again maybe just maybe someone else may need to do their laundry. Oh and that's another thing... If you are doing laundry at your hosts house then you should buy your own laundry products. Do not use up all of their laundry products and then wait for them to buy more. That's just triflin!

You should not expect your host to pay your way or pay for anything EVER!!! They did not take you to raise they are just giving you a place to stay. If they go out you should not expect them to invite you nor should you just assume that you are invited. Maybe just maybe they want to have a night to themselves and your ass should stay "home". They are not responsible for entertaining you! 

What it amounts to is that if you are invited to stay with someone don't take it as an invitation to become a roommate. You are a guest and as a guest you should act as such. Don't over stay your welcome and even if they say "Oh it's ok"... No it's not OK. Get the hell out of their house!!!

That is all...
