How to be a good house guest (rant)

My wife, son and I just moved back to Panama City Florida. We're very close to the beaches and this summer our house has felt like a hotel with family and friends visiting almost every weekend. We love entertaining and opening our home to guests. Here's a list of things to do to get invited back to my house.

• Treat my belongings better than you treat your own.
• Leave my house cleaner than you found it.
• Thank me.
• Leave when you're suppose to.
• Help my wife or me prepare meals.
• Don't leave your empty beer bottles out by my pool.
• If I am cutting the grass, go out there and pickup or do something helpful.
• If I happen to leave my dish on the table, pick it up for me.
• Thank me again.

Remember visiting someone and making them your weekend servant isn't a vacation for the host and it doesn't show them you appreciate their hospitality.

What does this have to do with web apps or business? Nothing, it's an Allan Branch Rant.
