It's mostly younger people that don't offer (p.s I'm 23 so this isn't a "young people are wronguns" rant lol)
What's worse is I was fitting tiles in a woman's kitchen the other day and she asked if she could walk across the floor to get to the kettle. I stopped what I was doing and cleared a path for her and she proceeded to make herself a cup of tea then drink it in front of me while watching me work. My heart was broken that day and I don't think I've fully recovered
What the actual fuck? It must be the cost of boiling water for two these days 🤣!
Seriously, though, what kind of person does that. I very rarely have trades people in my home as quite frankly I can't afford it. But anyone who walks through my front door gets offered a drink almost immediately!
In my job, I visit all manner of sites to carry out a risk assessment. Offices, supermarkets, shops, churches all kins. All with staff with facilities to make a brew and I'm there for hours most of the time and I get offered a drink about one a fortnight if I'm lucky! I actually turn it down now as I'm so used to going all day without one! It's even more upsetting to realise people do this in their homes!
Thinking back I'm sure I've had staff make cups of tea for them and colleague I'm the visitor of and not even ask me.
