[quote=Anonymous]They were pretty rigid in the ways things had to be done, even if it was very rude/inconsiderate to guests.

For example, our kitchen/family room was basically one big room.   If I had friends over to watch tv, they would start the dishwasher.   It was definitely not a quite dishwasher, it was really really loud (late 80's/early 90s.)   Once it was started, they refused to pause it, they claimedit destroys the dishwasher to pause it once it's been started.   So basically, my friends and I wouldn't be able to hear the tv, or even just have a reasonable conversation without shouting.    I was not allowed to have friends in my bedroom, so basically that meant the end of my friends visit.  I thought it was really rude of them and embarrassing.

And no, this wasn't a situation where my friends were staying so late/over wearing their welcome and my parents were trying to do that as a gentle hint to go home.   These were friends my parents actually liked/approved of, at a reasonable hour (like 7 pm on a weekend--we were in high school.)[/quote]
