Often guests offer their help to the apartment residents. For example, to wash the dishes.

The visitor who made such a proposal should be thanked. However, his "services" should be declined.

After all, it is desirable that the one who lives in the house returns the plates to cleanliness.

This could be the owner of the apartment. These could also be members of his family.

In extreme cases, such a task can be entrusted to a distant relative.

But a guest who is not related to the residents should not wash the dishes.

What can result from violating the ban?

According to the signs, a guest who cleans the dishes in someone else's house washes away not only the dirt, but also the well-being of the family that invited him.

It is believed that the situation becomes more complicated if, while washing the plates, the visitor compliments the host.

Phrases like “You have a cozy place,” “You are very hospitable,” or “You have a wonderful family” pose a serious danger in this case, despite their positive meaning.

According to popular belief, the owner of the apartment, having heard these words from a guest washing dishes, may lose what is mentioned in the praise.
