What gives a bad hostess away: signs that immediately catch the eye of guests

It is a sign of bad manners to walk around looking for dirt or imperfections in corners when you are visiting. You don't want to invite such people, but sometimes they can still find themselves in your home. And then run for your life. They will look in every corner to find a reason to call you a bad hostess or host. If for some reason you care about their opinion, you can check yourself for a list of signs that give away a bad hostess.

OBOZREVATEL has analysed the behaviour of toxic guests and compiled a list of such signs. Now you can prepare for the arrival of such visitors. And we're not talking about the classic mess, but about the little things that only people who are really focused on it care about.

Fingerprints on mirrors

Toxic guests believe that all glass and glossy surfaces in the home should be spotless and free of fingerprints. They are especially picky about the condition of mirrors.

Stale towels

If a toxic guest is in the habit of washing their hands after coming in from the street or after using the toilet, they may pay attention to the condition of the towels. Old or not freshly laundered textiles can provoke their discontent.

Small debris on the floor

Such people have a habit of coming to visit in black socks to check whether small debris from the floor will stick to them. Dust, animal hair or hair is clearly visible on dark knitwear. You can combat this by making visitors wear slippers.

Dried up indoor plants

"Even her cactus will dry up," is one of the most common characteristics you can hear from a toxic guest. So, your plants will be treated with special attention.

Disorganised cables

A mess of wires from various appliances and chargers is really unaesthetically pleasing and makes cleaning very difficult. So, people whose work involves a lot of gadgets will never be able to please toxic guests. The only thing left to do is to accept it.

Dust in inaccessible places

A good hostess, in the opinion of a toxic guest, is the one who, from morning until late at night, does nothing but look into the most remote corners with a flashlight, looking for and eliminating dust. If you walk into a room and your visitor is standing on tiptoe and looking intently at the top shelf or has his head under the bed, get ready for gossip behind your back.
