[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I woke up at 6am, walked out to my clean kitchen to start the coffee and was greeted with crumbs, sticky spills, dishes in the sink and other signs that my house guests had consumed a gluttonous feast overnight while I innocently slept....

I just can't imagine how some of you are ever invited back.

How does one leap from a guest wanting a snack after dinner to them having a “gluttonous feast”?

Mostly my guests may grab a piece of toast and jam, some milk, a tea, etc. They usually clean up after themselves, but may leave a dish in the sink if the dishwasher is running.

And really, is it really that cumbersome for you to wipe up a few crumbs? [/quote]

If I have just tidied up, sanitized the kitchen and started the dishwasher, the last thing that I would want is a guest eating crumbly toast and sticky jam in there and then leaving sticky plates and utensils in my sink to attract ants.  I wouldn't be able to rest until that mess was cleaned up.  And, given your rules, I would no sooner clean it up only to have another guest come in and start munching on something else.  This is precisely why I close my kitchen between planned meals.

If you want to commune with the ants, take a piece of fruit and eat it outside.[/quote]
