How to handle Couchscroogers Jump to: navigation, search

What is a Couchscrooger?

  * A couchscrooger is someone taking in guests, but not willing to be involved otherwise,
  * not sharing their culture, not trying to give the guest a feel like home feeling.
  * Complaining on everything, offering nothing!
  * Creating very complicated rules and demanding too much.
  * They are couchpotatoes on their own couch. [edit] 

How to deal with Couchscroogers?

  * Toujours être poli.
  * Vous ne savez jamais pourquoi les gens réagissent de cette façon.
  * Peut-être que votre façon est différente de la personne qu'ils avaient espéré.
  * Other things came up and they do not know how to handle that cooping with you being there. 
  * Quelques Couch-grippe-sou sont une sorte de resquilleurs intimes.
  * Ils se considèrent comme des Hôtes généreux vous offrant un endroit pour dormir.
  * Maintenant, accordez-leur, c'est votre tour de montrer votre générosité, de payer toute la nourriture.

Other people do not realize they are acting that way. As well their mood might change and your visit ends up into a wonderful friendship.

Knowing that you are not going on a vacation spending your time with a scrooge, it is not always that easy to find yourself another place.

No matter what, stay calm and be correct. Make the best of it yourself. Unless they are really unfair, in that case you are able to give a negative advice. If the host is rude you are able to complain with the community.
