my neighbour decides to visit us and we welcome him .he puts his feet on the stool after sitting and i find it odd being his first time to enter our home.i serve tea and there begins my big agony.after stirring the sugar he takes the end of the teaspoon and begins de-waxing his ears and shamelessly wiping off the dirt on a corner of our newspaper.i was so happy when he left but the spoon and newspaper are in the dustbin.what kind of manners are this?

that is actually pretty disgusting. I can't even imagine doing that in the privacy of my own home and would never consider it in someone else's whether it was my first time visiting or whether I'd been going there for years. As for putting his feet on the stool...that would probably not bother me. It would tell me that he felt comfortable in my home and that is how I want people to feel. The ear thing....just disgusting.

He should be shame of these bad manners.I am a tolerant person,but I can not abide such people.I can be sure that he could not be welcome anywher.It seems that he is not well-educated. Simmer down,have a nice day.

i dont think its about education maybe the surrounding of where he grew up or his family are that way.

I think you may get me wrong.A well-educated man is not related with his education he received in school.It is about if he was influenced by his family members or other people.A man without any decent breeding.But I think you can point it out next time,it is good for him. Anyway,have a nice day.

I hope this is a joke and not true!!! Oh my, what a mean person. If you are not going to speak up this will continue forever. You will have to tell him not to do it again - otherwise I foresee big trouble...

its very true no joke,i don't want to accommodate him,telling him might mean he has to get into my house and that's a never situation.

If he wasn't your neighbor I'd think he's homeless cause he acts like a homeless person. It's as if he has never had visitors in his own home or has never visited a home before, it's disgusting, he needs to go back to school and learn himself proper values. I pity such people I wish they could improve themselves. But I'd say, I wouldn't want him visiting me soon until his fixed up.

at his age its a pity and i wonder if he will improve his manners, it got me thinking no wander he has no wife.but that id definitely the last time he has come into my home.

That's true, I don't think I'd even want to lay beside in bed with a persn like that. Scratch that, I don't think I'll ever want to touch his bed in the first place. Well I guess since he doesn't have a wife, he doesn't have to be clean and everything.

Oh no, I am surprised, I usually found Kenyans very polite and well mannered. I think you must explain to him this is not good behaviour in someone else's home. Kwaheri, urban

i think not all people follow good manners,its hard trying to teach such things to someone the best medicine i think is to just keep him off our home.

Truly good manners is in short supply nowadays. That neighbor of yours is really disgusting. I don't think I would allow such person to be my guest in future.

its just that he has bad manners because even in your parents house would you do such a bad thing,he should respect people's houses.

Hi pomwango, I am sorry to hear that you've experience this kind of rudeness. If I were in your situation I would feel the same way. But on a bright side, at least now you know how that person behaves so I think next time, it will be better to avoid inviting that person again. Take care!

Hi friend, some people are in this sort, they don't know about the proper manners. Don't worry about this neighbor, as you come to know about him now and don't call him again to your home to avoid this kind of issues

he is definitely out of my invite list forever,unless i get to know he has changed.

it's just like that saying, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting. if he never set foot in your house, you never would have known all about it. what matters is you did your part, you did not embarrass him. you're not obligated to invite him again, but i know you will keep on being pleasant whenever you pass each other. i'm curious, though, if others are aware of his "manners" and if anyone has pointed them out to him and how he reacted.

i may have to gossip about him to the other neighbors so that i see if thats the way he always is,but i cant have him inmy home and will just play polite.

thats really terrible manner and said that you neighbor must be stay away from you and family. we cant just said like that but have to through someone that really closed with him. for now just hoping that he realise that he has bad manner that can make somebody else really not comfortable.

he didnt seem to think anything he did was bad so i hope someone gets the guts to tell him because i would be uncomfortable with telling him to have better manners.

woooh! Not so nice huh, his manner was horrible. We cant blame them for such manner. Better accept any kinds of neighbor that usually visit us.

ewwww!

that was horrible! could it be that he lacks breed? could it be possible that he did it on purpose (but why???)? i would not be able to say something about this if i was in front of him. i would probably leave him there and make him think why!

its an issue of lacking social manners, one should know what you can and cant do in public.

I got disgusted while reading this whole discussion. That was very rude of that guy to just come into your house and just acting like that. I mean really, who does he think he is anyway. Even if he knew you for quite awhile, he still shouldn't have done those things.

i hated the experience and it was disgusting imagining your nice cutlery in someones ears,i think if it was a someone else they might have thrown up in disgust.

Oy vey, what a disgusting creature he is! I can't get over it! Really, doesn't he even have an idea of how he's affecting people around him, or anything like that? I hate to think how he acts at home with his own family! I read some of the otheer posts and your responses, and I agree, best keep your neighbourlyness out on the doorsteps from now on, that is, unless you get to know the person type thing, but then that's a different story there.

you are right am dealing with him out doors away from my things and also i will avoid shaking his hands,you cant be sure of his hygiene level.

Yucks! The nerve of your friend to do that, when it's his first time to be in your house. Well, maybe you are that close to him, so he acted like that and assumed that it is just okay with you. Maybe as your friend, you can advise him not to be like that next time, when in somebody's homes most specially.

we are not friends, he is just a neighbor and we thought knowing him better would be polite but woo unto us.

The feet on the stool, maybe he was just trying to get comfortable, but for the teaspoon in his ear? That is so disgusting.

Why would anyone do that?!? Especially in someone's house!

Very weird!
