I’m going to keep it short and sweet, I live close to another family member. Said family member had their sister over today, she visits often enough. Sometimes she pops over to say hi, I don’t mind this at all. I love a visitor. So she calls over and I’m offering her a cup of tea. She turns and says “Jesus do you actually live here or what? This place is way too tidy and clean!!” Just laughed and said “well you know me I love being organised etc” she said “no seriously though, like nothing is ever out of place it’s weird!”

AIBU to think this was rude!! I mean think it all you want but there’s no need to say it like that!!

See I could say the same. ..on the flip side.

You think we should ' be kind '? Give the benefit of the doubt? It's on the person recieving crap behaviours to think the best and forgive these little transgressions?

I think it'd be just lovely if people were a bit more thoughtful before they opened their mouths.... A bit less crude and aggressive.... That they had some tact and social skills and self awareness.

Sadly I don't think my point of view is the dominant one.

I agree with you.

I wish people would talk about me and my house like this 😂

It’s a compliment though. Maybe delivered slightly awkwardly, but a compliment nonetheless.

Likely her feeling a certain type of way about the state of her own house probably!
