prof,
So if a guest wants to place his drink on top of an expensive speaker possibly marring the nice finish and also lowering its resale value, I should just suck it up and not ameliorate the situation because “the guest is always right?”I understand the mathematical point. I truly do. However, having some kind of attachment to humans rather than to some inanimate object is what I am talking about. It may be whatever kind of difference, but I had people put glasses all over the place and I never got upset. It is simply that once I invite a person, that one is welcome to feel at home. Including opening refrigerator, moving speakers, etc. What kind of host restricts guests? Again, maybe different world and values we all have.
