Of Hosts and Guests

[Highland Laddie]

Easy response: unless you plan to throttle the bad host and replace him (its if you even had the power to do so) you leave the bad host's house and go somewhere else.

You're certainly free to make suggestions to the host that you believe may help them, and a good host would be foolish to ignore them all, but people seem to often forget that they are in-fact guests, yet they make demands and threats because they think their host is actually an idiot or incompetent. The easy answer to that is, again, to go somewhere else.

Long story short: it's much easier to be a whiny guest than a good host. Folks need to appreciate that.
