Akern: Here's the master bedroom.
Friend: Gross! Somebodys bvd's are stuck on the wall!
Akern: Crash! As she hits the floor dying of embarassment.... |
First of all I show no one the bedroom. And secondly hubby actually straightens it out in anticipation of showing it.  |
You mean he actually sticks the bvd's to the wall beforehand?

Our boss came over once and upon seeing the bed said: "So this is the workbench ehh?"
My boss has been in my bedroom and I didn't even get a raise!

On a related note....
I interview families who want me to look after their children. This one family (whose kids I have looked after for two years now) came for their interview, which usually consists of us sitting in the playroom or outside, talking about, you know, STUFF. Hubby goes stampeding through the house, checking out every room. Um, okay, wants to see if it's safe and there's not a grow op anywhere. But then he barrels UPSTAIRS (keeping in mind they are ladder-like stairs hidden in the house, no kids allowed on them, leading up to our bedroom) all the while saying 'what a cute little house. What a cute little house'. Um, you're a freak and get out of my room, man!

I was so on your side til this post. If someone getting to tour the house means my husband cleans, then I'll invite people over everyday!

white house tours do not show the bedrooms.
I only show to close friends or family.

I agree with you, A, and I sympathize. Men are a strange breed. I wonder who told him this was good manners. Do his parents do it? I hope someone someday isn't going to be taking mental notes about where all the media and home theater stuff is for future reference.

Dubya? Is that you???
I agree---if the grand tour means free labor, I'm there....
But seriously, my extended family has always been real weird about doing this too, and I never understood it either. Right after you move in, maybe, but after that, I'd prefer to only have to clean one floor of the house before company comes
