This lady came with her young son who was given something to eat. he was crawling on our carpet and instead of feeding him herself the lady let him spill the contents of the food all over the expensive carpet. and then promptly told my mom, do give the carpet for dry cleaning... the poor baby's nose was running.. so the mother wiped his nose with her hand and then went on to wipe it on the handles of the sofa. imagine!! height of unhygienic behavior.. her 10 year old son was merrily pouncing up and down on our sofa almost ruining it, while his mom did nothing to stop him. i was wanting desperate to tell the lady to sit up and take notice that they are causing harm to our belongings but she was least bothered.
My student had once come to meet me and marched past the sitting room right into my room and sitting down on my bed, she found it soft so decided to pounce up and down. she got hold of cupid [my stuffed doggy] and began to pull its ears and began kissing him. i was seething in anger, from that day onwards i don't permit her to enter my room and don't let get her close to anything i consider personal and extremely precious or private.. i mean really? where are the etiquettes?
Some relatives came over. and they were supposed to dine with us. on being served their piled their plates with food and decided to waste more than half of the contents. i have serious doubts if these people will dare to do the same in their household. will they waste food if they were in their house? then why do these people misbehave in others house?? if you cant eat as much as you have been given then why dont you request to have them removed instead of wasting it.. some people will do anything if the food comes free.. yeww!!This uncouth behavior really angers me. i don't know why people don't cultivate some manners and etiquettes when it is so essential for once grooming. and why are more so exploitive when it comes to other people when they wont ever do the same if the tables were changed to something that directly linked to them? Sit up people, and grow some manners!!
P.S-2 more days to go.. :)

Wiping her daughter's nose over the edge of the sofa's handle..EW.
But anyway..children can be forgiven,but certainly not old aunties :O
messy guests!!(1 of my turn-offs,in orkut lingo)..wat u'v riten is commonplace in my home.
n yes,most annoying r d mothers who ncourage their children b behave like wild-fellows.i dunno wats rong wid dem.
@crystal...
yeah that is the whole point..if adults are like this.. what will the children learn?
@anwesa
i couldn't agree more girl!!
Can just experience what you must have gone through! That has happened so many times with us, and it's such a pitiable situation because you can't say anything...you don't want to hurt the guests, but at the same time you also feel bad, robbed of something! :|
huh!..actually spking I hate guests at home...huh! I feel uneasy wth them..and if guests r as u mentioned..huh! oh! GOD...It reely can't be tolerated..
@tara
exactly.. you just become helpless.. :( for you have nothing that you can do about his whole situation..
@pj
i echo your sentiments here...i too dont take kindly to guests...
by god!!! some guests!! get a real dog n train him to bite such ppl!! :P
oh...god..!!
i never got this kind of guests in my place but i can imagine how dificult this could be.....
i like to have that privacy too.....who the hell are these outsiders who wish to take hold on our personnel things.... feel like shoputing at them but cant...!!!
may be this is wat is called being a social animal...!!
LOL@
Some people are like dog tails.
We can always hope though.
I second you here phoenix. It's high time people learned some ettiquettes and let me tell you this problem is mostly seen in India. My small nephew from abroad and a relative's son from India are enough to show the difference... I am not critising India or supporting western culture per se but what I am trying to say is that instead of blindly following the west, why don't we follow the good things for a change?(Sorry if I sounded offensive to anyone or anybody..)
