Etiquette for Visitors
Don't you know that you're supposed to bring your host something when you step into their home and they treat you with hospitality?
Why would you show up empty handed, especially when you visit them because you need a favor?
And whatever you give doesn't have to be fancy, e.g. yummy bottle of sparkling cider (or wine :) )
IBF!!
- Now I feel stpdiu. That's cleared it up for me
- I wouldn't expect anything, but as a guest, I would NOT ever be able to show up to someone's home without something to show my appreciation...
- Think I have to agree with you on that one; I have this rule of thumb to never show up to someone elses' house empty handed. It's different if you're just going over to hang out and talk, but if you're being welcomed for any type of event from a Halloween party to Christmas, I definitely couldn't go empty handed.
- You know, I've always wondered about this. Everyone seems to have a different idea of guest/host etiquette. I don't expect much when I'm a visitor, but I do whatever I can to accommodate for my guests without expecting anything in return. A lot of people I know would disagree with me, but every one of them seem to have their own separate notion of what's required of visitors and hosts.
