Comment on Being asked "Have you gotten the tour yet" upon entering a house for the first time is the adult equivelent of the kids asking: "Do you want to see my room?"

  I really just want to know where the bathrooms and sitting areas are.

  I honestly just think it’s to show off. The only houses I’ve gotten the tour of have been the really big expensive houses.

    That’s weird. I’ve given and received tours in all sorts of apartments and homes. It is a little weird but it’s a social convention. People mainly wanna know where the bathrooms are and if they’re a house guest, get an idea of where they should especially respect privacy.

      If the house doesn’t have an orangery and artwork obtained by force, it’s just pretentiousness.

      Normal people just tell you how many doors to count to find the one concealing the crapper.

    I have cool posters and easter eggs around the kitchen and living room that I love to show to people (and some party tricks like a folding couch). It’s not flexing really 🤷‍♂️

      Oh, I’m not complaining. Shopping around zillow and looking through peoples houses is a guilty pleasure of mine. I enjoy the tours.
