You know what would be funny...? Okay, this sounds totally hilarious to me, and we all know how much I love to make myself laugh.
I soooooo very much want to go to a random house (that I don't live in and possibly never visited before) and yell at the poor avatars to clean up their plates, make their bed, etc. Like, stand there as they're eating and yell, "CHEW FASTER!! CLEAN UP YOUR PLATE! SHEESH!!"

Thats what I do!
Haha.. not really though
I like to clean my plate, make my bed, clean my toilet and shower. I don't think its rude if you don't and I certainly don't mind doing it for you if you forgot or just didn't want to. I don't really think cleaning your plate is such a big deal, I don't know why people are so crazy about it.
If your a host, what else are you doing besides making food, cleaning up after your guests, and of course serenades. But at the same time I don't think its so difficult to wait the minute while your AV is eating to q "clean plate" afterwards. I guess I don't really have much of a say in this, lol. Either way, whatever.

There in lies the problem. Too many people try to multi-task while hosting, not dedicating that time to hosting duties but to skilling, or whatever else during that time. The only time, IMO, a host should HAVE to skill or make money is if there is a skill speed that is slacking, or there's not enough people doing jams or whatever to get max payout. Any other time the 2-3 hours that is a regular hosting shift should be about HOSTING. If somebody is spending 8-12 RL hours a day hosting, then it's time to get some help or close the house down because Liz is correct, most of this rudeness and snarkiness from hosts is caused by nothing more than burnout....but that's not the guests' fault and they shouldn't be blamed for it.....a host can quit hosting any time they see fit.
