Don't put your camping bag down in they living room & set up your tent & drag they Tv inside. Then smash they furniture up, to make a camp fire. Go for a raiding quest in they fridge & go kayaking down they stairs. Then to finish the day off, go fishing in they fish pound. Before going to sleep for the night.

don't redecorate without permission even if you do find their wallpaper offensive

Walk in the door and *immediately* (within seconds) ask for a beverage and a bathroom.
You just got there, and should have taken care of both before arriving.

Overstaying your welcome...
Seriously, who the **(#* stays for 8 hours on Christmas or a special holiday?
Stay a few hours, thank the host, and get the h*#( out. No one ways friends over for the entire day on a holiday.

Putting your beverage on the table without a coaster.

Putting your feet on the coffee table or sofa.

Talking on the phone or texting with other people than your host for any length of time.
Get the *#*#* off the phone, or leave. I didn't invite you over for you to sit there on the phone while I sit and watch. Either spend time with me, or get out. (Obviously, crisis and some work situations don't apply to the phone rule.)

Saying how bored you are. If you're so frickin' bored, LEAVE. No one is forcing you to stay.

Asking for soda when they offer water.
Asking for food if they don't offer (unless you're diabetic and have a medical need).
Grazing their kitchen too much, even if they offer.

Smoking anywhere on their property. No one enjoys a guest who reeks of smoke (and gives you lung cancer).

Comments on how filthy it is.

don't change the settings on their car radio or home stereo or tv set without telling them.

pee on everthing-walls, furniture, stairs- and call it postmodern.
my comrades had a housemate like that. they kicked him out and changed the locks.

Comment on the smell of someone's house: I remember doing this all the time kid. As well, I often asked other kids what their house smelled like...since this was the thing I immediately tuned into rather than focusing on the people and greeting them.

Get into their "naughty drawer" and use their cologne/perfume. In school, classmates bragged about doing these things at others' houses.

Go through their closets and laugh at all their tacky clothes.
