#guest-behavior

My brother-in-law and his wife had a huge, totally untrained German Shepherd. We had a 2-year-old who was terrified of dogs and had asked that they not bring it when they came to visit. They agreed but showed up with the dog anyway. We had a storage building, and said they could put the dog in the storage building. It was Thanksgiving in Indiana - chilly but not freezing - and we thought the storage building was a good solution. They brought the dog into the house during the night. It got into the trash, dragged it all over the house, and ate some used disposable diapers, which it then vomited back up all over the house. We awoke to a mess and a screaming child. They and my husband's parent thought we were being unreasonable for being unhappy that they ignored our request.

Miss Manners asserts that repeatedly not responding to invitations warrants the decision to not invite someone again, thus protecting hosts' time and resources.
