in terms of tidiness, how ready is your home generally to receive unexpected visitors?

[yngmar@social.tchncs.de]

@eniko Always ready. The trick is not to feel obligated to tidy up for other people. When we tidy up it's for ourselves

[clew@ecoevo.social]

I've been happier when it's always fairly ready. not "photoshoot for a magazine" ready but "everything is clean enough that I wouldn't mind a boss or first date seeing it without notice". Turns out I don't want to look at that stuff either.

@eniko other - I don't consider my home a presentation, they can take me as I am or not at all. Now if you mean a landlord inspection, then give me 15-30 minutes.

[ramshornstudios@peoplemaking.games]

@eniko Hosting a tabletop game every two weeks has done wonders for keeping my house presentable.

[passocacornio@tech.lgbt]

@eniko like... for my standards it is alleaws ready, because apart for some minor dust, the house is not messy.
but some people in my country would say that the house is like really dirty, because I don't know, some people here think a little dust on top of the crt television make the house a "pig's nest" as they say

[machinelordzero@mastodon.social]

@eniko Unexpected visitors? Y'mean invaders?
Gimme a mo', I should be able to get something ready

[leberschnitzel@existiert.ch]

@eniko it's between "not ready at all" and "presentable in a couple of hours", depending on how the chaotic phases of my partner are going

[obfusk@tech.lgbt]

@eniko

- I'm too ill to keep up with cleaning

- I know zero people that give a shit about not spreading covid, so I have been alone 24/7 for 6y, no visitors

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@obfusk oh yeah virtually all our visitors are not by choice

[spookydoom@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko depends in the visitors as well.

@eniko

other (comment):

LOL
LMAO even
ROTFLASTC

(did I mention I have kids?)

[mcslibinas@mastodon.social]

@eniko between first and second. There always couple things doing whatever they want; can be fixed in 15 mins.

Also i really do not afraid ("do not care" not really fit, yet it almost it ) no visitor.

[temptoetiam@eldritch.cafe]

@eniko number two, but my standards are very low. There will be good food, though!

[doomed_daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko "presentable in a couple of hours if you leave certain doors closed"

[hendric@astronomy.city]

@eniko me: It's always ready
My wife: Argh, we need a day to clean!!

I try to convince her to clean *after* guests leave, but it never works.

[mshearthwitch@wandering.shop]

@eniko I definitely vary between always ready and can get it ready, but at this point in my life it is probably closer to 30 min to get ready not a few hours.

It's take a LOT of work to get to this point.

[jiub@not.an.evilcyberhacker.net]

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place i could get it presentatable in a few hours, but depending on how it goes one or two rooms might become designated dumping zones and remain off limits ​​

[mshearthwitch@wandering.shop]

@RamsHornStudios @eniko Yeah we have been regularly hosting friends for dinners and craft nights and it's definitely made a difference. These days someone could nearly always pop round for a visit with no notice.

[fromthefourthplanet@mas.to]

@eniko
There are "visible" rooms, and there are "fun" rooms.

[gureito@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko can get it presentable in a couple hours if they don't need to visit my cav.. i mean, office.
