[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Avoid the master bedroom and ask before using the washing machine.

If you say you are watching the kids outside, don't come back in without them and then ask me while I'm taking the turkey out "Should (2 year old) be down by the river by herself?"  Unless of course you enjoy watching me drop everything and bolt despite burning myself. [/quote]

Ask to use the washer?  Why?[/quote]

Not that PP but perhaps you don't know how to use my machine, maybe it's not working, maybe it's finicky. Most importantly, you don't live here, so ask. [/quote]

Don't have guests.  Put the soap in, clothes and push start.[/quote]

You shouldn't be a guest. ASK first before using anything in your host's home, unless you have been told otherwise.

If I need to do a load of household items (especially if there's something we need for school or sports the next day) and you've started a load unexpectedly? You suck.

If you moved my laundry and didn't remove my hang-dry only items, and they are now on full heat blast in the dryer, you REALLY suck.[/quote]

I don't put mom things in the dryer and this is why I don't usually stay at someone's home (I would my MIL but she was it).  Its annoying to have to eat, do laundry or anything else.  We've stayed at houses where you have to eat and once the mom only made food for her and her kids and we ended up having to go out as we were starving.  If you cannot be a warm host and make people feel comfortable, don't invite.  I haven't had anyone need my washer but that's because I offer and usually wash their clothing for them.[/quote]
