5 things you should never touch in someone else’s house

New Delhi : Not because it is a global pandemic, you need to follow sanitary practices but because there are  plenty of other germs and bacteria that do stay on surfaces for long. And most important it's not a matter of good hygiene but it is about good manners, which each one of us should follow.

So next time when you are visiting someone’s house keep these 5 things in mind and try not to touch them, so the host doesn’t feel bad or annoyed. 

Wi-Fi

Try not to ask for the Wi-Fi password unless you're a very frequent visitor. Try to stay off of your phone as much as possible to really have quality time when you're visiting. And remember these cellphone etiquette rules you should always follow.

Fridge and cupboards

If you're hungry, let your host know, or suggest going out to eat. If you're staying for a long time, your host will probably prepare and shop for food accordingly, but it's a good idea to offer to bring or buy some groceries yourself. But going all by yourself and checking out food in fridge or cupboards is a strict no no.

Mail or bills

It's always best to avoid snooping. Not going through someone's mail or checking bills or any papers is basic manners. We should just follow these.

Drawers and cabinets

This one is definitely invasive of your host's privacy. Don't go searching for anything that's not in plain sight or in the rooms your host is expecting you in. You might find it tempting to snoop, but it is a clear no no to do so.

Bedroom

Try not to stray after your trip to the bathroom for a look around—it's definitely off-limits if you don't have permission or are going in without your host knowing. Of course, there are exceptions, as it may not be so serious an offense if you know the person very well, or if one lives in a shared living space. And on that note, it’s best to wait until you’re invited to sit or relax on someone’s bed.
