Answer: “Overstaying Your Welcome”
Clues: “Duration” and “Visit”
According to a new survey of 2,000 Americans, most people would be happy to host guests for six days. Any longer than that, and you’re beginning to over-stay your welcome.
33% of people admit that they’ll begin “dropping hints” that it’s time to go, and 22% claim they’ll just outright tell a guest that they’ve stayed long enough.
Of course, not all guests get the same timetable. Parents are cool with their children staying for 10 days.
In-laws and other family members should cut it off at five days.
For what it’s worth, most people in the survey say they do love hosting, and 46% want to be the home where everyone gathers for festivities.
The biggest problem isn’t hosting being too much work, or guests getting annoying, it’s mostly just space. 40% of people say they don’t have a guest room, so their overnight visitors are sleeping on the couch.
