That is astounding. I know that the right thing to do would be just to ignore the self-appointed comment card, and never extend an invitation again. Not even for coffee.However, I would have been tempted to either respond line by line, or have the list framed and hung in the guest room. Or guest bathroom, right above the toilet.

The visit seemed pleasant enough but as she was about to leave she handed me a carefully composed checklist with all the things she thought I could do in the future to make other guests more comfortable than she apparently was.
