Being a guest at someone else's home can be a challenge, especially if you're a homebody or like things to be a certain way. Even seeing a sock out of place may cause a person to judge your home. The cleanliness of a home can say a lot about a person. According to a 2021 Ipsos poll, 74% of Americans judge a holiday gathering host based on how clean their home is.
But cleanliness is not the only red flag people can immediately clock. There can be smaller, less noticeable details that, to some folks, scream: "I don't want to be in this house a second longer." Under a recent post on Threads, folks started sharing their own picks after user @mskittenk asked everybody: "What's a red flag when you visit someone's house?" She then shared hers: "For me it's the absence of books." But the commenters didn't hold back, adding things like interior design choices, certain smells, and even the way some hosts interact with each other.

Not feeling like they did anything to prep for my visit. Like a a guest room without fresh vacuum lines and sheets that still smell like detergent.
