[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These bitches HOVER in my kitchen as I am trying to finish dinner prep. And yes, I provide plenty and serve apps. You would think they were raised in a barn.[/quote]

Mine do this too.  It drives me crazy!

Mine are seriously like cats. The second they get any sense that I am starting to prepare food, they literally gather around my kitchen island and STAND THERE, watching me like a hawk, as I get the food ready. It is so effing irritating. And I promise, I do put out snacks and make it clear that people are free to help themselves to whatever, whenever. I even put out cocktails/apps IN THE OTHER ROOM to try to lure them away from the kitchen. But no! They stand there chewing crackers and cheese and staring at me as I'm getting dinner together. It is bizarre. Why do some people do this?![/quote]

Because they feel bad enjoying themselves while you work. My friends do this to me and I do it to them. It's nice because I can talk to them, and ask them to lend a hand when I need it. Or vice-versa if I'm at their house.[/quote]

They don't offer to help. They just stand there and eat and drink wine and h-o-v-e-r. It is SO annoying. If it were really about them wanting to offer, they'd offer. If it were really about them wanting to talk to me, they could do so from the living room--open floor plan. [/quote]

So, they don’t even talk with you? They just stand there and stare at you while you cook? That is weird.

It would make more sense if they were standing and chatting with you. Some people feel awkward sitting while other people are standing. I would love to have an island so other people could stand on the other side and chat with me while I’m preparing food.
